Bill > HCR28

This resolution is a legislative action by the 136th General Assembly of Ohio to rescind two specific portions of Governor's Executive Order 2025-05D, which declared a state of emergency regarding intoxicating hemp. The first portion being rescinded removes the Ohio Department of Agriculture's authority to amend certain administrative code rules on an emergency basis, and the second portion rescinds the order's directives about consumer products containing intoxicating hemp, which included mandates that such products be removed from public display, prohibited from sale, and either returned to manufacturers, held for law enforcement disposition, or segregated from other merchandise. The resolution cites Section 107.43 of the Revised Code, which grants the General Assembly the power to rescind, in whole or in part, orders issued by statewide elected officials during a state of emergency. The resolution also requires the House Clerk to transmit an authenticated copy of the resolution to the Governor, formally communicating the legislative action.
