Ohio Dem Introduces Bill to Overturn Legislation That Allows Legislature to Regulate Emergency Health Orders

An Ohio state representative introduced a bill on Wednesday to repeal previous legislation that allows the state legislature to establish oversight over a governor’s executive orders during a health emergency.

Ohio state Rep. Tavia Galonski (D-5-Akron) announced that she had introduced House Bill 269, aimed at overturning Senate Bill 22.

SB 22 was passed in March after originally being vetoed by Gov. Mike DeWine. The law, set to take effect later this year, establishes an advisory committee overseeing actions taken by the governor and state health department during a health emergency, giving the committee power to override executive orders made by either the governor or the Ohio Department of Health.

Galonski’s bill would repeal that law.

“SB 22 was an error. The legislature made an attempt at curtailing the authority of the governor and local officials to make good decisions for our health in the middle of a global pandemic,” Galonski said in a statement. “The repeal of SB 22 will help put Ohio back on the correct track by making the health and safety of all Ohioans our highest priority.”

Yes, it is likely Republicans in the legislature are going to suddenly think they made a mistake in passing SB22. Sure, right.

Well, this shows Gov. Dewine is indeed a Democrat since they are the ones assisting him in his effort to rule by executive orders.

In other words, he wants totalitarianism back.
