COLUMBUS – Yesterday, following successful votes in both the House Judiciary and Finance Committees, the Ohio House voted to pass Substitute Senate Bill 56 (S. Huffman), announced State Representative Jamie Callender (R-Concord). Senate Bill 56, initially passed by the Ohio Senate in February, combines efforts to clarify Ohio’s adult use cannabis program and address the issues arising from intoxicating hemp products. The compromise language passed by the House comes after nearly 18 months of negotiations between legislators, industry groups, and advocates.

State Representative Kevin Ritter (R-Marietta) yesterday voted in support of an initiative that continues the Ohio House Majority Caucus’s leadership on delivering property tax relief to Ohioans for billions in savings. 

State Representative Jim Thomas (R-Jackson Township) yesterday voted in support of two initiatives that continue the Ohio House Majority Caucus’s leadership on delivering property tax relief to Ohioans with more than $2.4 billion in savings. 

Speaker of the Ohio House Matt Huffman (R-Lima) today announced that legislation updating Ohio’s marijuana laws and addressing the issue of intoxicating hemp passed with bipartisan support through the Ohio House of Representatives. Senate Bill 56 preserves the legal, adult-use marijuana provisions approved by voters in Issue 2 in 2023, while also adding needed protections for Ohio’s children.
