The OHIO YAB, ACTION Ohio and the Children's Defense Fund~Ohio held a successful meeting with Representatives Susan Manchester and Phil Plummer on December 1, 2021 and are delighted to share that they have agreed to amend House Bill 4 to include the three revisions requested by Ohio foster care youth.
