This week, the Ohio House approved Senate Bill 63, an OMA-supported bill that would help improve the state’s legal climate. Senate Bill 63 would prevent businesses, including manufacturers, from being over-named in asbestos litigation. The practice of over-naming currently hurts Ohio’s competitiveness because companies improperly named in these lawsuits face higher operating costs or must pay fees to be removed from litigation.

The Ohio Senate must agree to changes made by the House before sending the bill to the Governor’s desk. 12/11/2024
