Support Ohio House Bill 124!

Especially because we now have looming meat shortages due to coronavirus. It would help so much to becoming more self sufficient as well as just having a secure source of protein

Absolutely true! Everyone should have the right to raise and grow their own food! One of the basic human rights, IMO.

I will happily share it. I just sincerely hope “lazy” people don’t ruin it. Keep your animals clean, well fed and ALWAYS provide fresh, clean water and shelter! Don’t be afraid to ask for help if needed.

I just wanted to post to this thread to keep it fresh in peoples minds as we head ever closer to election day.
I didn’t see an emoji that would work for voting so, stick a pin in it, lol!

Isn't Ohio one of those states where I can be bussed in and declare myself homeless and vote? Some how I doubt I can get away with that.. but bumping this thread to attract attention seems like a good cause

Wow, I hope not. That would nullify the people's true voice and totally ruin the value in our rights to vote.

I do hope this point passes, if it ends up on the ballot.

Ditto! I’ve never even heard of that.

I have been watching this bill for foreeeevvvver! After they voted to pass the decision down to the Agriculture folks... it just sat there. I figured they were just going to let the bill die... but NOPE! I just checked on it a few days ago and they had their first meeting regarding this bill on NOV 18th 2020!!! So its still moving along! Keep spreading the word and let these folks know why this should Pass!! Hopefully Ohio will inspire other states to follow our lead. Much love to my fellow buckeyes!

It is up to the Committee of Agriculture & Rural Development at the moment so I would certainly let them know our wishes...

There are some here on BYC that are concerned this would threaten their current laws which may have NO Limitations on the number of livestock you are allowed to have. I think the newest version of the bill covers this? Perhaps some of you could give it a read and give your opinions on it?

Pg 3-4

"Applicability of local regulations
The small livestock unit chart does not apply to a person if a local government, by law, allows the number of units of small livestock kept on a parcel of residential property to exceed a ratio of one small livestock unit per one acre of residential property, and the person is in compliance with that law.5 This provision effectively allows a person to keep more small livestock on their property than the person would otherwise be allowed under the bill if authorized by a local authority. For example, if a municipal corporation allows a person to keep chickens and does not restrict the number of chickens that the person may keep, the restrictions established in the small unit livestock chart would not apply."
