Ohio House Bill HR24

Introduced

Caption

Relative to travel allowance.

Summary

House Resolution 24 is an internal House resolution authorizing the Chief Administrative Officer of the Ohio House of Representatives to pay travel allowances to listed members based on their round-trip mileage from their residences to the Statehouse, as provided under Section 101.27 of the Revised Code. The resolution includes a table of each member’s district number and mileage amount, with several members marked as having no mileage listed, likely reflecting residence proximity or other reimbursement status. The measure does not create a new policy program or alter substantive public law; instead, it implements existing law governing legislative travel reimbursement by specifying the mileage amounts for individual House members. Its practical effect is to direct administrative payment of per-member travel allowances and to document the reimbursement basis for the current House session.

Impact

HR 24 affects the administration of legislative expense reimbursement under Ohio Revised Code Section 101.27 by authorizing payment of travel allowances to House members according to their listed round-trip mileage. It impacts House operations, the Chief Administrative Officer’s payment authority, and the members named in the resolution, but it does not amend the Revised Code or impose obligations on the general public.

Sentiment

The available voting history shows unanimous support in the House, with 93 yeas and 0 nays on February 5, 2025, indicating broad agreement and little visible controversy. No committee transcripts were provided, and the resolution appears to be a routine administrative measure rather than a policy dispute.

Contention

There is no recorded substantive contention in the provided materials. Any potential concern would likely be limited to the routine question of how travel reimbursements are calculated or whether individual mileage listings are accurate, but no member opposition or debate is reflected in the vote or context provided.
