Ohioans For Concealed Carry has learned that, as we expected, the Ohio Senate has assigned HB12 to Senator Steve Austria's Judiciary Committee on Criminal Justice. (click for list of members)
JCR hearings take place on Wednesday mornings at 9:00am. It has not been made clear yet if the Senate will simply address this bill in committee, or if they intend to create a sub-committee. If that is the case, meeting times will obviously be very different. Ohioans For Concealed Carry encourages you to look at the list of committee members, and then determine if YOUR Senator is on the committee. If so, you should promptly call your Senator and inform them of your position on HB12. Everyone should use the tools on our website (upper right hand corner) to email their Senator (and Represenative, this bill will likely go back to the House) about House Bill 12 support. OFCC representatives have been meeting with lawmakers in the Senate this week, and will continue to do so, in an effort to make sure our concerns about HB12 are being considered. Your assistance in contacting your lawmakers is extremely helpful in our efforts. |
