Senator Antonio, a sponsor, emphasized stroke’s prevalence — “every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke,” he said — and urged public education on the FAST (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) recognition tool. Senator Manning, a co-sponsor, described personal family losses to stroke and said such designations encourage people to seek preventive care and screenings.

The bill passed on a 32-0 roll call. Sponsors and supporters urged wider public education to shorten the time between a suspected stroke and medical care; no funding provision was included in the floor discussion and supporters indicated outreach would rely on existing public-health channels.

Senator Reynolds, the bill sponsor, told the chamber the battalion, led by Captain Charity Adams (an Ohioan by education), processed a backlog measured in millions of pieces of undelivered mail and completed a mission that boosted troop morale. Reynolds described the battalion’s work, its history of overcoming discrimination and recent recognition by Congress with a Congressional Gold Medal.

Senator Craig and others supported the bill, saying the designation preserves the battalion’s legacy and provides an educational marker in Ohio’s calendar. The Senate recorded a 32-0 roll-call vote in favor of the bill; the measure was then entitled and placed on the journal.

The enacted designation will appear in state code as a commemorative day; it does not create a new program or appropriation.","The Ohio Senate unanimously passed Senate Bill 17 designating March 9 as the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Day in Ohio to honor an all‑female, historically Black unit that processed mail for U.S. service members during World War II.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6306867,"Senate passes bill to consolidate marijuana programs, sets consumer and advertising limits; 23-9",1855,2909000,4764000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2436279-26aa29abdef0a1499c4eacd07bdab805&start=2909&end=4764","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2436279-26aa29abdef0a1499c4eacd07bdab805/thumbnail_2909000.jpg","/articles/6306867/Ohio/Senate-passes-bill-to-consolidate-marijuana-programs-sets-consumer-and-advertising-limits-23-9","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6306867-8d008a91586ecdd51f959afe1d70c852/orig.mp4?Expires=1773676201&Signature=d3OqALwQd9grAAEv6GtIa4-C6H8eVdUbULhpJ9B0vduXnVckkz5ZNyu2~1MjBQt2ekbAJ5iSnYEmGVoKMfz6JUBALvwozHMNvwxESHvucttFnjHSJ-be7H-CtgFWsVX97V~9kWqrPp9ILcGb3jFO8XDKRsJPcZuh9OyoLZ7tkgE3RoZErQOgtRPivwTZlfP6jRKHdoNDwG4Lq63BZmfPvwXieO~OVCM3un49nzZozZNyyXcnNpJZLCT-lDs3SEVqi~tbDFfEk9roL0~aPntsFOG9ERA65P5Lmt66KM8FHrybYQsiC3pOZwEpF84tIZg2fpIuKkOIjtZ3Ek1-tTUG7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ohio Senate on Feb. 25 passed Substitute Senate Bill 56, a comprehensive bill to consolidate administration of medical and adult-use marijuana programs and to revise several elements of the state’s new adult-use framework. The measure passed on a roll call of 23 yays and 9 nays.

Senator Huffman, the bill sponsor, described the measure as “reasonable” and aimed at protecting children while cutting down the illicit market. He said the bill merges medical and adult licensing under a single division, sets THC caps, limits edible potency, and keeps a possession limit consistent with the voter-approved measure while reducing home-grow allowances.

Key provisions described on the floor include a 35% THC cap for plant material and 70% for extracts (with the latter adjustable by rule), a 10-milligram-per-serving and 10-milligram-per-package limit for edibles, a six-plant-per-household home-grow limit, a prohibition on public smoking except in private residences (with exemptions prohibited for residences used as child care), a prohibition on dispensary advertising within 500 feet of certain locations (schools, churches, public libraries, playgrounds, parks and certain arcades), and a limit on dispensary density by rule that codifies a one-mile spacing request from regulators.

Opponents said the bill departs from what voters approved in Issue 2, reduces THC limits, eliminates craft grow (level 3) licenses, and adds a $50 fee for expungement filings. Supporters emphasized child-protection measures and consumer safety. Several senators urged that tax and funding allocations first be handled in the budget process.

Senator Roegner, chair of the General Government Committee, urged passage and said the bill “protects Ohio’s children” through packaging and advertising limits. Opponents including Senator DeMora and Senator Blackshear argued the bill would shrink business opportunities, reduce access, and move funding matters away from the implementation language voters supported.

On the roll call the bill passed 23-9; Senate leaders recorded the vote and the bill was entitled. The statute-level changes will take effect according to the bill’s effective-date provisions and subsequent rulemaking by the Division of Cannabis Control.","The Ohio Senate passed Substitute Senate Bill 56 to consolidate administration of medical and adult-use marijuana, set THC and edible limits, restrict public smoking and advertising near schools, and change home-grow and licensing rules.

Senator Johnson, who introduced the concurrent resolution, told colleagues illicit fentanyl is a “lethal killer” and described international precursor supply chains he said enable distribution into the United States. He urged media and federal officials to “give this illicit fentanyl the respect that it deserves.”

The resolution cites national overdose figures and urges federal action to treat illicit fentanyl as a threat on the scale of other mass-destructive agents. The clerk then called the roll; the resolution passed with 32 yays and 0 nays.

Supporters said designating illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction would highlight the scale of overdose deaths and push federal coordination and enforcement. The sponsor framed the measure as a step to increase public attention and federal action; the resolution itself does not change state enforcement or create new penalties.

The measure, identified in the chamber as Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 1, will be placed on the journal and transmitted as a formal state resolution urging action by Congress.

Roll-call and adoption were recorded on the Senate journal. With the vote concluded, the chamber moved on to other business.","The Ohio Senate on Feb. 25 adopted a concurrent resolution urging the U.S. Congress to pass legislation similar to the Stop Our Scourge Act of 2023 to direct the secretary of homeland security to designate illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction; the measure passed unanimously, 32-0.","actionData","errors"]
