Delaware County Review

Senate Bill 104, co-sponsored by State Senators Andrew Brenner and Jerry C. Cirino, has been enacted into law by Governor DeWine. The legislation aims to enhance Ohio's College Credit Plus Program by increasing access and awareness, enabling more students to participate.

Additionally, the bill mandates the use of single-sex bathrooms, shower rooms, and changing rooms in Ohio's K-12 schools and public and private higher education institutions.

Senator Brenner expressed his gratitude towards the Governor for signing the bill into law. "I appreciate the Governor for signing this important legislation into law," said Brenner. "This commonsense bill was amended to require that biological boys must use boys’ bathrooms, and biological girls must use girls’ bathrooms."

Senator Cirino highlighted the benefits of Senate Bill 104 for future generations. "Senate Bill 104 will give our next generation further opportunities to make college affordable and accessible so they leave prepared for successful careers," Cirino stated. He also noted that the bill provides protection for students in private spaces in a balanced manner. "It also protects our students in private spaces in a balanced, common sense way that respects everyone. I commend the Governor for his thoughtfulness and prompt signature so all Ohioans can have bright futures."
