COLUMBUS — State Rep. Crystal Lett (D-Columbus) today urged fellow legislators to join her in opposing House Bill (HB) 1, which received its 4th hearing today in the House Public Safety Committee. HB 1, also known as the Ohio Property Protection Act, establishes a radius of property ownership exclusion for people from countries deemed “foreign adversaries” by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce. If the bill passes, people with nationalities from the list would be prohibited from owning property within 10 miles of “critical infrastructure” and would have two years to vacate their current residence. 

COLUMBUS — State Rep. Munira Abdullahi (D-Columbus) and Rep. Crystal Lett (D-Columbus) last week introduced legislation to prevent health insurance companies from disregarding the professional judgment of licensed medical providers, including expert diagnoses and prescribed treatments.
