COLUMBUS - State Senator Steve Huffman (R-Tipp City) today voted in favor of House Bill 265, improving crisis care for Ohio’s children and families.
Specifically, the bill streamlines existing laws to ease regulatory burdens on crisis care centers, making it much easier for these facilities to provide services to infants, children and families in crisis situations. The bill will also ensure these facilities have trained and vetted employees to meet required staffing needs.
"Red tape has often been the barrier preventing people in crisis from getting the help they need," said Huffman. “This bill changes that.”
As Chairman of the Senate Health Committee, Huffman led HB 265 through the legislative process, hearing from Ohioans who will be helped by this bill, including supporters from Brigid’s Path in Dayton, Ohio.
“Creating opportunities for facilities like Brigid’s Path to access the resources they need to better care for families in need is what this bill is all about,” Huffman added. “I am grateful to see this legislation unanimously pass through the Ohio Senate today.”
The bill now goes to governor’s desk for his signature. Learn more on this bill by clicking here
