❌ HB311
Designate EMS week in Ohio
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Armed Services, Veterans Affairs and Public Safety)
Summary
This bill designates the third full week of May as 'EMS week in Ohio' to recognize and celebrate the contributions of emergency medical services personnel.
Rationale
The bill establishes a government-sanctioned observance, which may be seen as an unnecessary expansion of government involvement in public life, conflicting with the principles of minimal government intervention upheld by both the LP and LPO.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government involvement in public observances
- Potentially diverts resources from more critical issues
- May set a precedent for further government designations
