## Resource

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine took decisive action on recent legislation, vetoing two bills he deemed harmful to voters and insufficient for consumer protection, while signing a slate of pro-civic engagement and economic development measures. He blocked House Bill 472, which would’ve forced absentee voters to submit photo IDs starting in 2027, calling it an unnecessary barrier that could deter participation — even with a workaround. He also vetoed House Bill 173 for submetered utilities, arguing its protections were weaker than existing rules for larger providers. In contrast, DeWine signed bills advancing education, infrastructure, EV charging, oil and gas regulation, carbon capture, and employment standards. He also used a line-item veto to block funding cuts to the Outdoor Recreation Council of Appalachia, stressing its vital role in regional economic growth.
