<p class="MsoNormal">As many of you may know, I’ve been working with the Legislative Committee of the Ohio County Archivist and Records Managers Association on new legislation that would open up permanent records 100 hundred years after their creation<span style="color:#1F497D">.
</span>There’s just a few weeks of work yet to be done in the Ohio General Assembly before the 132<sup>nd</sup> flips to the 133<sup>rd</sup>. We would LOVE to get HB 139 through by the time they break at the end of December. Otherwise, we start all over
and our current success at getting it passed unanimously through the House is essentially vacated.<o:p></o:p></p>

</span>around 10:00. Fred Previts, Pari Swift and I will be providing proponent testimony to the Senate Government Oversight and Reform Committee. We need this to make it out of committee quickly!<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">If you would like to offer future proponent testimony, let us know. We can get you the witness form and contact. It looks like the GOR committee meets around 10:00 most Wednesdays.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">Write your State Senator in favor of HB 139. This is quick and easy. We’ve attached some fact sheets and some of the House testimonies so that you have some ideas and are inspired with your own. If your
Senator is on the <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ohiosenate.gov_committees_government-2Doversight-2Dand-2Dreform&d=DwMFAg&c=2VZYbtYJv2D8M43KsrFplYR_K_qvRt8ALW9zIemmNsU&r=96N2Xln1tQ5ybaNCzz0QYaogkbhQB0zpLS4WDkRpin8&m=PN7NdzPMBf80yxfZt6iqwDdE0hIo77h73MVnqxRZOfQ&s=e-o89ZR2zdW8wziJd0E12rwFQ5YB2KGiGZ3e2m3__Qs&e=">
<span style="color:windowtext">GOR</span></a>, writing them ASAP is really important so that the bill stays at the top of their mind and continues to make it on the committee agenda.
