New Ohio Laws

Governor Taft signed two bills into law which had been in the news the past couple of days.

First of all, was what has been being referred to as "Ohio's Patriot Plan," which is going to provide certain financial "buffers" for men & women on active duty in the armed forces and their immediate families. The bill was modelled after one in New York, and several other states, including Alabama, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Iowa, have similar legislation in the works.

Secondly, coinciding with the FDA's plans to create an independent drug safety board, House Bill 377 "requiring the State Board of Pharmacy to create a drug database that will monitor the use of prescription drugs"
