State Rep. Janine Boyd (D-Cleveland Heights) released the following statement today on her committee assignments for the 134th General Assembly:

“As this new General Assembly begins, I look forward to continuing to work for Ohioans. It is my honor to serve as the ranking minority member on the new House Committee on Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, and to continue my work on the House Committee on Health. As we vet policies that will impact the whole health of Ohioans, I will integrate my professional experience in direct service delivery of healthcare and advocacy on behavioral health and addiction issues with the input and experiences of my constituents and the knowledge of those working on the frontlines in my district and across Ohio. I am also excited to improve the economic health of Ohio as a new member on the House Committee on Commerce and Labor” said Rep. Boyd.

Rep. Boyd will serve on the following committees:

· Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, Ranking Member

· Commerce and Labor

· Health

Committee meetings are crucial to the formation of laws. All bills must have at least two hearings in committee to allow opponents and proponents to present testimony and voice opinions on potential changes to bills before they are considered by the full House.

Committees are open to the public and held any time before or after House floor sessions. The public can watch committees live by going to www.ohiohouse.gov or www.ohiochannel.org.
