Ohio General Assembly Session Continues After Marathon Session
The 135th General Assembly adjourned on December 18, until Monday December 23, 2024, after a marathon session lasting two days.
With not many days left in this legislative session, lawmakers have likely completed most of their work.
One bill affecting campaign finance was passed during the special session in May and June of this year.
Special Session Amended Substitute House Bill 0001 prohibits individuals and certain entities from knowingly soliciting or accepting political contributions or expenditures from a foreign national. The lone ethics bill intended to enact the Ethics and Financial Disclosure Reform Act, changing the ethics laws for public officials and employees and reporting requirements for lobbyists, never made it out of committee.
The 136th General Assembly will convene on January 6, 2025.
