Department of Veterans Affairs and require state payment of attorney fees and expenses to specific individuals for defense of the law
Proposed Law
Proposed by Initiative Petition
To enact Chapter 194 of the Ohio Revised Code
A majority yes vote is necessary for the law to pass.
To enact Chapter 194 of the Ohio Revised Code, which would:
- Require the State of Ohio, including its state departments, agencies and entities, to not pay more for prescription drugs than the price paid by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
- Establish that the individual petitioners responsible for proposing the law have a direct and personal stake in defending the law; require the State to pay petitioners’ reasonable attorney fees and other expenses; require the petitioners to pay $10,000 to the State if the law is held by a court to be unenforceable and limit petitioners’ personal liability to that amount; and require the Attorney General to defend the law if challenged in court.
Village of Carlisle - Proposed Charter Amendment
The proposed changes to the Charter are:
- Define the terms “motion”, “resolution”, and “ordinance”. The current Charter simply states that “Council action shall be by motion, ordinance or resolution” but does not explain these terms. The proposed change would define these terms to provide a better understanding of what these type of actions really mean. The proposed Charter language would be changed to: “Council action shall be by motion, ordinance or resolution. Ordinances and resolutions shall be the enactments of the Council and shall have the full force and effect of law. Resolutions shall be orders or declarations of the Council of a special or temporary nature. Action taken by Council, which is not required by this Charter to be taken by ordinance, may be taken by resolution. No waiting period, notice, hearing or publication shall be required and a resolution shall become effective upon its adoption. Motions are oral proposals for Council action limited to the same purposes as resolutions.”
- Decrease the number of readings of Resolutions and eliminate the enactment waiting period. Currently, all Resolutions have to be read on three separate meetings and have a 30-day waiting period before they can be acted upon. The only way to speed up this process is for Council to declare a Resolution as an emergency. Resolutions are statements of position or matters of a special or temporary nature. Resolutions can be anything from directing staff to apply for grants to awarding the road paving contract to a particular bidder or to entering into an agreement with ODOT for bridge inspections. Resolutions cannot create a permanent law or impose a tax on the citizens.
