The Ohio Legislative Process

Companion with the OEDA Legislative Conference

Wednesday, March 18, 2026 | 10:30 a.m.

Topical Webinar

Understanding how legislation moves through the Ohio General Assembly is essential for anyone working in or alongside state and local government, economic development, or public policy. This timely OEDA webinar delivers a practical, behind-the-scenes look at the Ohio legislative process—from bill introduction to committee review, amendments, and final passage—with special attention to how timing, strategy, and stakeholder engagement shape outcomes. The session will also demystify Ohio’s state capital bill, explaining how capital projects are proposed, evaluated, and ultimately funded.

Join OEDA for a presentation led by Tim Day, principal at Ice Miller and vice chair of the firm’s Government Affairs & Regulatory Law practice group. Tim brings a strong track record of shaping policy and guiding key initiatives through the legislative process to become law. Drawing on real-world legislative and capital-funding experience, he will share actionable insights to help participants better understand where opportunities arise, how decisions are made, and how to engage effectively.

Designed as a companion to the OEDA Legislative Conference, this webinar is the perfect way to prepare for deeper, in-person conversations with lawmakers and policy leaders. Whether you’re attending the conference or simply want to strengthen your policy knowledge, this session will equip you with the context and confidence to navigate Ohio’s legislative landscape and advocate more effectively for your community.

Don’t miss this opportunity to sharpen your understanding of how policy and capital funding decisions happen—and how you can influence them.
