Title

Lawmaker Position

HB 2House 20241x

Fueling Out-of-Control and Wasteful Spending Through an Over $3.51 Billion Capital Appropriations Bill.

Against CEA
This bill, the Capital Appropriations bill for FY 2025 and FY 2026, appropriates over $3.51 billion. The budget is chock full of frivolous spending, including $717.8 million in "One Time Strategic Community Investments," such as $46 million for "Hamilton County Convention Center District Development," $25 million for the Transportation Research Center, $12 million for the Cedarville Opera House, $7 million for "Pro Football Hall of Fame Modernization" and over $9.7 million for the Hall of Fame Village, and $7 million for "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum Expansion and Renovation Project."
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
1 Samuel 8:10-18 – "Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, 'This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots... He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants... and you yourselves will become his slaves'"
Leadership Insight
Centralized power always demands sacrifice from the people. God warned Israel that human kings would grow government at the expense of liberty. Limited government protects freedom; expansive government enslaves. Leaders must resist the temptation to control what they should serve.
HB 214House 20245x

Strengthening Religious Liberties and Protecting Students and Staff at Public Schools from being Forced to Provide Diversity Statements in the Application Process or as a Condition of Employment.

With CEA
This bill enacts the "Religious Expression Days or "R.E.D." Act," which allows students in grades K-12 to miss up to 3 school days each year for religious reasons, and prohibits questioning of the "sincerity of a student's religious or spiritual belief system." The bill also prohibits school districts from asking prospective job or student applicants to provide a diversity statement, or using such statements in evaluations.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Acts 4:19-20 – "Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
Leadership Insight
When truth is silenced, darkness prevails. The apostles refused to edit their message for cultural comfort. Faithful leaders must speak what God says, even when it costs influence.
HB 24House 20241x

Increasing Health Insurance Premiums by Mandating All Policies Provide Coverage for Biomarker Testing.

Against CEA
This bill establishes a new health insurance mandate relating to "biomarker testing" which is applicable to all private policies offered in the state and Medicaid. Specifically, the bill requires all policies to cover biomarker testing to diagnose, treat, manage, and monitor a person's disease or condition if "the test is supported by medical or scientific evidence." Each and every health insurance mandate or price control on co-payments prevents an individual from selecting a plan with just basic or customized coverages to fit their specific needs. As a result, health insurers are forced to only offer costly plans loaded with coverages that most individuals do not need.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."
Leadership Insight
Paul's protection of conscience applies directly to healthcare freedom. No government or employer has authority to mandate medical treatments, vaccines, or procedures that violate sincere religious or moral conviction. Healthcare freedom means patients and providers can follow conscience in medical decisions without coercion, contempt, or punishment. When healthcare mandates override conscience, they violate the biblical principle that each person is accountable to their own Master.
HB 331House 20241x

Protecting Taxpayers by Requiring an Audit of Government Services Provided by Villages.

With CEA
This bill requires county commissioners to determine if each village provided at least five services during the previous 10 years, such as police, fire, water, and garbage, and if each elected position had at least one candidate. If not, the question of whether to surrender corporate powers of the village is required to be presented to voters. This measure ensures taxpayer funds are being used to provide necessary services for residents.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Luke 16:10-11 – "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?"
Leadership Insight
Jesus connects economic stewardship to spiritual trustworthiness. Economic freedom is built on this principle: individuals who manage small resources faithfully should be trusted with more - not have government confiscate their increase through taxation or redistribute their success. When government punishes productive stewardship through progressive taxation, it contradicts Christ's teaching that faithful management of "very little" qualifies you for "much." Economic freedom rewards faithful stewardship.
HB 68 (Veto Override)House 20245x

Protecting Children Under 18 from Sex-Reassignment Surgeries and Prescriptions with Irreversible Implications and Prohibiting Biological Males from Competing in Female Competitions.

With CEA
This motion overrides the Governor's veto of a bill that enacts the "Ohio Saving Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act" and the "Save Women's Sports Act." The bill prohibits children under 18 years of age from receiving sex-reassignment procedures or puberty blockers until they reach the age of consent. Additionally, the bill prohibits the state's Medicaid system from providing coverage for such procedures and medications for minors. The bill also requires public and private schools and colleges and universities to designate athletic teams as either male, female, or co-ed, "based on the sex of the participants," and requires all participants of a female team to be of the same sex.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.
HB 7House 20241x

Growing Government Dependency Through Several Efforts Designed to Expand Welfare Programs.

Against CEA
This bill contains several provisions related to expanding welfare programs. Among other provisions, the bill requires the Department of Health to study how to increase participation in WIC (Women, Infants, and Children Nutrition Program) and requires the Department of Medicaid to study how certain infant vitality programs can be covered by Medicaid.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Haggai 1:6 – "You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."
Leadership Insight
When priorities drift from purpose, prosperity leaks away. God doesn’t bless motion - He blesses alignment. Economic freedom begins when stewardship follows divine order.
HB 79House 20245x

Hiking Electricity Rates by Allowing Utility Companies to Propose New "Energy Savings Programs".

Against CEA
This bill allows electric utilities to submit an application for "programs to assist retail electric customers in achieving energy savings." Portfolios must include at least one low-income plan and have certain goals, such as to "Emphasize smart technology measures." Additionally, the proposals must include at least one revenue recovery mechanism. This bill unnecessarily drives up electricity costs for families and businesses in order to advance a politicized environmental and climate change agenda.
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Galatians 5:1 – "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
Leadership Insight
Freedom is not the absence of restraint; it is the presence of divine purpose. Christ purchased liberty not for comfort but for courage. A free leader under God becomes unshakable, even when culture shifts.
HCR 14House 20241x

Urging Congress to Continue the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative which has Received $4.9 Billion in Taxpayer Funds.

Against CEA
This bill urges Congress to reauthorizes the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a program to "protect and restore" the Great Lakes. According to the program's website, it "has received approximately $4.9 billion from FY 2010 to FY 2024. The GLRI has also received $800 million from FY 2022 to FY 2025 under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law."
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Luke 14:28-30 – "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?"
Leadership Insight
Vision must meet calculation. God honors leaders who count costs before claiming promises. Stewardship without foresight breeds collapse.
HR 469House 20245x

Urging Congress to Block Overreaching EPA Emissions Regulations.

With CEA
This resolution urges the federal Environmental Protection Agency to discontinue adoption of new emissions regulations, which, according to the resolution, "require unachievable and unrealistic timelines to reduce carbon emissions." Additionally, the resolution states that the regulations would "all but ensure coal power plants will need to shut down by 2035." The resolution also urges Congress to enact legislation to block the EPA from enacting these regulations.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on lawmakers who craft economic policies that oppress the poor through excessive taxation, regulatory barriers to entry, and cronyism that favors the connected over the capable. Economic freedom is justice for the poor - when the working class keeps more of their earnings, when small businesses can compete without crushing compliance costs, and when families can build wealth without government extraction. Unjust economic laws always hit the poor hardest.
SB 104House 20244x

Strengthening Safety and Privacy in the Restrooms of Schools by Requiring Usage to be Based on Biological Sex (Male or Female) at Birth.

With CEA
This bill requires public schools and colleges and universities with a multi-person restroom or changing facility to designate separate facilities based on biological sex at birth. The bill also prohibits public school students of the opposite biological sex at birth from sharing a hotel room or multi-person restroom or changing facility.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.
SB 6House 20245x

Protecting Taxpayers by Prohibiting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Considerations in State Investment Strategies.

With CEA
This bill prohibits the consideration of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) in state investment strategies, including for the state pension systems. Investment strategies based on ESG result in reduced financial returns for taxpayers.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 29:2 – "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan."
Leadership Insight
Righteous economic leadership creates prosperity that lifts all people; wicked rulers impose taxation, regulation, and cronyism that make the people groan. Economic freedom flourishes under leaders who fear God and protect property rights. When government becomes extractive rather than protective, citizens suffer under the weight of policies designed to benefit the powerful rather than serve the productive.
SB 81House 20244x

Expanding Access to Mental Health Services by Slightly Reducing Restrictions on Certain Healthcare Professionals.

With CEA
This bill allows physician assistants (PA), certified nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and certified nurse-midwives to sign admission, treatment, and discharge documents for inpatient psychiatric or behavioral healthcare, if certain requirements are met. The bill also allows insurance navigators to receive compensation from health insurance companies offering plans on a health exchange, with some exceptions.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Luke 10:34-35 – "He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have."
Leadership Insight
The Good Samaritan embodies healthcare freedom - personal compassion delivered without government permission, insurance approval, or bureaucratic delay. He bandaged wounds himself, paid directly for care, and promised to cover additional costs. Healthcare freedom means protecting this direct relationship between caregiver and patient. When government mandates and insurance bureaucracies stand between the suffering and those who would help, compassion is delayed, costs explode, and the wounded lie waiting while paperwork processes.
