WATCH: CCV Testifies to Protect Children from Medical Experimentation, Save Women's Sports
COLUMBUS—Substitute House Bill 68 (HB68) will receive an all-testimony hearing with both opponent and proponent witnesses before the Senate Government Oversight Committee today—Wednesday, December 6—at 3:00 pm.
HB68 combines two bills that seek to acknowledge the inherent differences between men and women:
The Save Women’s Sports Act, sponsored by Representative Jena Powell (R-Arcanum), would preserve the integrity of women’s sports by protecting female athletes from having to compete against biological males.
The SAFE (Saving Adolescents From Experimentation) Act, sponsored by Representative Gary Click (R-Vickery), would ban dangerous puberty-blocking drugs, wrong-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries on children.
Watch Center for Christian Virtue Policy Director David Mahan testify in support of HB68.
Watch the Committee Hearing LIVE on Dec 6!
Please note that the Committee's agenda may include other points for consideration, and HB68 may not be the first to be heard. Committee hearings at the Ohio Statehouse are open to the public.

To become law, a bill must go through both Chambers of the Ohio Statehouse to be sent to the governor for his approval. Read the bill and see its progress through the legislature here.
TAKE ACTION: Connect with your lawmakers!
Our lawmakers have received thousands of messages from opponents to this common-sense protection for our children.
Will you take just 60 seconds to encourage our lawmakers stand for righteousness by voting "Yes!" on HB68? One representative once told us that it only takes three emails on a topic for his attention to be caught—your story could be the tipping point for good.
