This week on "The State of Ohio": State lawmakers consider what they can do in the wake of the horrible and yet miraculous escape story out of Cleveland involving three women held prisoner in a house for a decade. New data shows more than half of all violent crimes are committed by a very small numbers of offenders. Lawmakers are now working to target that tiny group.

Some teenage drivers in Ohio will soon have some new limits, that is, if state representatives get their way. The Ohio House has passed a bill declaring that 16-year- old motorists may not have more than one non-family member in the car with them. The measure also says 16-year-olds may not drive between midnight and 6 in the morning. The bill’s sponsor, Tom Raga, says there’s good reason to crack down on the youngest inexperienced motorists.
The measure the House has approved would also toughen Ohio’s mandatory seat belt law. It would require everyone younger than 15 to be restrained – either by seat belts or special booster seats – whether they’re in the front seat or the back seat. Now, state senators plan consider the proposal. |
