The OH Sen is currently adding a HUGE amendment without time for folks to review it to an already awful bill, HB 151 which bans trans youth from playing sports. This amendment is more than 2000 pages introduced after 10pm on the last day of session. This is NOT the way to govern.
This amendment is added to the bill - by a vote of 23-7, party line vote. Once again the OH Leg does what it does best, make a bad bill even worse... #LameDuckShenanigans
Senator @nickieantonio on Am HB 151 - reading testimony from Ember, a trans girl who plays sports in OH. She spoke to how important it was for her to be able to play girls softball, "it is one of the most affirming moments since coming out." 
And... there it is, HB 105, a previously amazing bill to support child sexual abuse and sexual violence victims and provide prevention education was amended to include a dangerous amendment that could block those victims from getting the healthcare they need. #LameDuckShenanigans
The amendment was added on a party line vote, all R's voting yes all D's voting no. Still waiting in this hearing to see what they do with HB 151, the bill that would ban Trans Youth from playing sports.
The amendment just added to HB 105 completely hijacks the bill. They may say they support child sexual abuse and sexual violence victims, but blocking them from the healthcare they need to recover from the abuse & assault shows that this "care" is all talk and no action.
