Press Release-
This week, Ohio Senate President Larry Obhof appointed Senator Bob Peterson (R-Washington Court House) vice chair of the Senate's influential Standing Committee on Rules and Reference.
"I look forward to working with my colleagues on the committee to set a policy agenda that will help create opportunities for Ohio families," Senator Peterson said.
The Rules and Reference Committee plays a key role in setting the legislative agenda for the Ohio Senate. The committee is tasked with assigning legislation to the Senate's various subject matter committees. Once a bill is favorably reported by a subject matter committee, the Rules and Reference Committee then determines if and when the bill is brought up for consideration by the full Senate.
