Columbus, Ohio — The Larry Henderson Act (HB 372), currently under consideration in the Ohio General Assembly, remains in the early stages of the legislative process. The bill, which addresses matters related to criminal justice and law‑enforcement policy, has been formally introduced and assigned to the House Judiciary Committee.
HB 372 has not yet received a committee hearing, vote, or amendment, and no further action has been taken by the full House or Senate. The bill’s status reflects its position at the initial phase of legislative review, where committee leadership determines whether the measure will advance for public testimony and deliberation.
“The referral to committee marks the beginning of the legislative conversation,” the statement reads. “Stakeholders, community members, and policymakers will have the opportunity to engage further once hearings are scheduled.”
For HB 372 to progress, it must move through the standard legislative sequence, including committee consideration, a full House vote, Senate review, and ultimately the Governor’s approval.
Organizations and individuals with an interest in the Larry Henderson Act are encouraged to monitor committee schedules and remain engaged as the bill’s review continues.
