The Ohio General Assembly is working on the FY2026-27 biennial budget, and while the bill will appropriate state funds during the next two years, it will also contain many policy changes. Those policy changes are often House and Senate bills that have already been introduced. While the number of committee hearings a bill has received could indicate the likeliness of it working its way into the budget, some bills may be amended in without any hearings.

The Ohio legislature returned to the Statehouse on Nov. 12, and the Ohio Senate promptly accepted changes to Senate Bill (SB) 104. This bill makes changes to the College Credit Plus program (CCP) and includes provisions regarding single-sex facilities and accommodations. Gov. Mike DeWine signed the bill on Nov. 26, and it will be effective in 90 days.

This is the last week that the Ohio General Assembly is scheduled to have sessions and committees before what could be an extended break. It is still unknown when the Ohio House and Ohio Senate will return to the Statehouse in the fall. Both chambers have numerous committees scheduled, and those committees are focused on moving important bills out of the committee to go to the floor for a vote.
