Franklin City Council adopts ordinance to align city code with Ohio House Bill 228
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 2019-29 to replace an emergency ordinance and make the city code compliant with recent changes in state law under House Bill 228; no public comment was offered during the hearing.
The Franklin City Council voted unanimously Dec. 16 to adopt Ordinance 2019-29, which replaces an emergency ordinance and updates the City of Franklin codified ordinances to conform with Ohio House Bill 228.
Lynnette Dinkler, the city’s law director, told the council the ordinance replaces Emergency Ordinance 2019-28 and revises city code sections to reflect the state’s amended gun-rights law under HB 228. Mayor Hall opened a public hearing on the ordinance, heard no public comment and closed the hearing before the council voted.
Brent Centers moved to adopt Ordinance 2019-29; Paul Ruppert seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: the ordinance implements housekeeping and substantive changes required by recent state statutory changes, bringing local regulations into conformity with state law. The council did not discuss substantive modifications to local enforcement in the public hearing; no public testimony was offered.
Next steps: The ordinance was adopted at the Dec. 16 meeting and will be incorporated into the city codified ordinances; no further council action on this item was recorded at the meeting.
