❌ HB164
Reinstate the Joint Education Oversight Committee
Summary
The bill reinstates the Joint Education Oversight Committee, which will conduct research, review, and analysis of education policy issues in Ohio. It allows the committee to evaluate education programs receiving state financial assistance and prepare reports with recommendations for the General Assembly. The bill also includes provisions for appropriations to support the committee's operations.
Rationale
The bill increases government oversight and control over education, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and promoting free market solutions in education. The LPO score is slightly higher due to some potential alignment with oversight accountability, but overall, it still represents increased government involvement.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over education
- Potential inefficiencies in government oversight
- Misallocation of state resources
