An appeals court has held that legislators in Columbus violated the state constitution when they stuck items into the state’s 2020-2021 budget meant to restrict health care facilities’ ability to solicit people involved in car crashes.CLEVELAND, Ohio -- An appeals court has held that Ohio legislators violated the state constitution when they added items to the 2020-2021 budget that were meant to restrict health care facilities’ ability to solicit people involved in car crashes.
Three chiropractic clinics from across Ohio, including Ohio City-based Allied Health and Chiropractic, and a referral service contracted by clinics filed lawsuits challenging the amendments first in U.S. District Court, then in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. The 8th District panel rejected that argument, finding that “the initial enactment of the contested sections by the bill was an unconstitutional violation of the one-subject rule and that all the subsequent amendments are void because they amend provisions that were not constitutionally enacted.”
Lawmakers inserted onto the proposed budget changes to the state’s public records laws that allowed municipalities to redact telephone numbers of victims and witnesses of crime and of parties involved in a car accident from police reports. The chiropractor firms filed suit in 2019 and claimed that the provisions were unrelated to the state’s budget and violated health care providers’ free speech rights to solicit potential customers.
