Three Bills Sponsored by Ohio Senate Democrats Signed into Law Today

Three bills sponsored by Ohio Senate Democrats were signed into law by Governor Ted Strickland today.

Senator Sue Morano's SB 89 was signed this morning, followed by Senator Eric Kearney's SB 106, and Senator Joe Schiavoni's SB 124.







  • Senator Morano (D-Lorain) sponsored SB 89, to address a critical shortage in nursing educators that has forced nursing schools in Ohio and across the nation to turn away qualified applicants. Read details on SB 89 here.
  • Senator Schiavoni (D-Canfield) sponsored SB 124, to make the transfer of property upon death less complex for Ohioans. The bill changes the transfer of death designation instrument from a deed to an affidavit. Read details on SB 124 here.
  • Senator Kearney (D-Cincinnati) sponsored SB 106 with Senator Steve Buehrer (R-Delta), to clarify the law dealing with trusts in divorce proceedings and closing a loophole under which estate settlements can be delayed for years. Read details on SB 106 here.
