The Senate Armed Services, Veterans Affairs and Public Safety Committee voted unanimously to favorably report Senate Bill 223 to the committee on rules and reference, advancing a proposal to require an Ohio Department of Natural Resources discount program for veterans and service members.

Vice Chair Wilson moved to "favorably report Senate Bill 223 to the committee on rules and reference," and the clerk recorded a roll-call vote in which Chair Johnson, Vice Chair Wilson, Ranking Member Weinstein, Senator Craig, Senator Patton and Senator Schaeffer registered "yes." The motion passed and the committee chair said the bill will move to rules and reference.

The nut graf: The committee conducted a fourth hearing on SB 223 but no public testimony was offered during the meeting. Committee members recorded unanimous support before moving the bill forward.

Committee materials show no oral witnesses in the record for the meeting; the chair asked whether anyone wished to testify and, seeing none, recognized Vice Chair Wilson to make the motion. The clerk then called the roll and the measure was reported out.

Ending: The committee advanced SB 223 to the rules and reference committee. No amendments or conditions were recorded during the hearing.
