Behind House Bill 144—Keith’s Law: Emergency Response for Ohioans with Disabilities

Representatives Brian Lorenz and Gary Click, along with Keith Jesse, whose personal experience inspired House Bill 144—Keith’s Law, join the podcast. This legislation supports Ohioans with disabilities during emergencies by building on the Communication Disability Law and introducing a voluntary statewide database to help first responders identify individuals with disabilities before arriving on the scene.
