OAJ SIDEBAR
AUGUST 2, 2018 Constitutional amendment on November ballot The Drug and Criminal Justice Policies Initiative has enough valid signatures to qualify for the November ballot. It would amend the Ohio Constitution by reducing to a misdemeanor any offense related to drug possession and use. A second Constitutional amendment came close but does not have enough signatures, so proponents are gathering more to qualify for the November ballot. Called the Kidney Dialysis Patient Protection Amendment, this ballot measure is designed to improve patient care at dialysis clinics. OAJ is reviewing the issues before taking a position, but generally OAJ believes these matters should be handled in law, not in the Ohio Constitution. Click here to link to Ballotpedia: Ohio Issue 1 (2018) Distracted driving legislation signed If distracted driving is found to be a contributing factor to a moving violation, an additional $100 fine will be added to the penalty for the violation. The legislation was signed by the Governor and will become effective about October 29, 2018. OAJ supported the bill. Click here to link to HB 95 Registration is open & the lineup is live!
