Bill > HCR5

This joint resolution authorizes a joint convention of the Ohio General Assembly, specifically the 136th General Assembly, to be held in the House Chambers of the Ohio Statehouse on March 12, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. The purpose of this convention is to welcome Governor Mike DeWine and receive his annual State of the State Address, which is a longstanding tradition of courtesy. The resolution calls for the appointment of a committee consisting of nine members from the House of Representatives and eight members from the Senate to formally wait upon the Governor. During the joint session, the rules and customs of the House will be observed, and after adoption, the Clerk of the House of Representatives will transmit authenticated copies of the resolution to Governor DeWine and Ohio news media. This type of joint convention is an established practice that allows the state legislature to hear directly from the Governor about the current state of the state and potential policy priorities.
