Several bills have been sent to the Governor's office this week as the Ohio General Assembly finalized its work for the year.  Here is a snapshot of some of the highlights of the bills that have passed:

APPROPRIATIONS

Capital Budget Bill (HB 310) – the bill contains $2.1 billion for the repair, reconstruction, and construction of capital assets of state agencies, colleges, universities and school districts and local projects.  The bill also includes a number of funding measures including shifting $700 million in Medicaid costs due to a temporary boost in the federal share of Medicaid and appropriates all unspent federal CARES funds to ensure they may be approved for use if Congress and the President extend the spending deadline.
