Ohio Senate Committees

The Ohio Senate Committees are the legislative sub-organizations in the Ohio Senate that handle specific topics of legislation that come before the full Senate. Committee membership enables members to develop specialized knowledge of the matters under their jurisdiction. Currently, there is only one announced committee in the 131st Ohio General Assembly.

Rules

The Senate Rules Committee is tasked with determining what legislation will be moved to the floor of the Senate. It is generally made up of leadership in the Senate, and currently is chaired by Senate President Keith Faber.[1]

gollark: The US model does give the executive branch more power, I think.
gollark: Except the senate is actually elected.
gollark: I kind of want to read one of those verbose rants now.
gollark: Because it'll find some way to wiggle out of the constraint, or come up with some solution which is still bad, and because "maximize happiness" might not be a goal we want anyway, and because that does not actually fix current problems.
