Kasich signs 17 bills, including concealed-carry expansion
Ohio Gov. John Kasich today took a stab at clearing his desk of some of the mountain of bills passed by the frantic lame-duck session of the General Assembly.
The second-term Republican signed 17 bills into law largely crafted by the GOP majority in the House and Senate.
Among the bills signed by Kasich were measures to:
-- Allow Ohioans with concealed-carry permits to carry guns on college campuses and other locations, if local authorities approve. Active-duty military also can carry guns without permits. (Am. Sub. SB 199).
-- Create a Tax Expenditure Review Committee to review $8 billion in tax breaks handed out by the state each year (Am. Sub. HB 9).
