January 30 at 7pm: SB 1/HB 6 Forum & Training

This Thursday, January 30 at 7:00 pm, in conjunction with the Honesty for Ohio Education coalition, we will be leading a forum and training on the new iterations of SB 83: SB 1 and HB 6.

The forum will include an explanation of the companion bills and their potential impacts, Q&A, a training on how to write, submit, and present testimony, as well as how to talk to legislators about these issues.

As of now, there is scheduled activity only on SB 1. The hearing for sponsor and proponent testimony in the Senate Higher Education Committee is this Wednesday. We do not yet know with certainty when the opponent hearing will be held, but there is a good chance that it will be next week, possibly on Wednesday, February 5.

We will send another message when we have notice for the opponent hearing with instructions on how to submit your testimony. Typically, committee chairs request that written testimonies are submitted at least 24 hours in advance of the hearing, so be prepared to e-mail testimony early next week.
