With Republicans regaining control of the House of Representatives, we were able to bring oversight and fiscal responsibility back to Washington. At the start of the year, I was selected to serve on the Energy and Commerce Committee, which has the broadest jurisdiction of any committee in Congress–from securing our nation’s supply chains to ensuring all Americans have access to quality, innovative health care. The committee stayed busy all year, held 93 hearings, and sent 120 bills to the full House for consideration and passage. More importantly, I was able to continue working on behalf of the people of Ohio’s 12th Congressional District. Throughout the entire year, I criss-crossed the district’s 12 counties, holding hundreds of meetings with health care workers, small business owners, and individuals who work every day to improve the world around them. As I reflect on 2023 and look onward to 2024, I want to share with you a handful of issues that meant a lot to me this year. These are issues where I have been a leader among my House colleagues, and issues where I believe meaningful progress has been made. Boosting American Energy and Preserving Consumer Choice Earlier this year, the House passed H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act. This is House Republicans’ flagship legislation to boost U.S energy production and ensure an abundance of affordable, reliable energy for American families. The bill provides meaningful permitting reforms, streamlines the energy export process, and boosts domestic production. Simply put, this bill enables American energy producers to tap into the resources we have right beneath our feet in a timely manner by cutting red tape, instituting concrete timelines for permitting review, and incentivizing energy investment here at home. Relying on bad actors like Russia and Iran for our energy is shortsighted and reckless. And though this seems like commonsense, the policies coming out of the Biden White House today ignore th… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z

Sgt. Larry Litten, and Mila Gelbart, a student-athlete at Oakwood Junior High School. “As we go into the holidays and think about the things that we are thankful for, we can also think about the people here at home who have stepped up and served both our community and our nation,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “I would like to express my gratitude to each person here today for their outstanding contributions to Ohio’s 10th Congressional District. The leadership that they have shown in their consistent efforts to better the Miami Valley region is admirable, and they exemplify the values that set us apart from the rest of the country.” Background: From left to right: Congressman Mike Turner, Dr. Chris Colliver, Wendy Colliver Dr. Chris Colliver has served as Technical Advisor for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance and Acquisition Intelligence at the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base since 2012.

Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper DAYTON, OHIO – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) held a press conference at Dayton Children’s Hospital with Deborah Feldman, President & CEO of Dayton Children’s. The House Appropriations Committee’s version of the FY24 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies funding legislation includes $2 million in congressional Community Project Funding for the Dayton Children’s Foundation’s Behavioral Health Crisis Center. Once that bill becomes law, the funds will be used by the hospital to construct a new facility aimed at increasing mental health services for young children in need of care. “I’m proud to bring federal support for the mental health project that Dayton Children’s is bringing to our community,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “Deborah has been in my office several times over the past few years to discuss the issue of mental health and behavioral health services for children, and she would relay what the hospital is seeing. I am very glad that in the request that they have put forward, I have been able to secure the first step in getting a $2 million grant for this facility. I look forward to this project coming to fruition.” “Here at Dayton Children's, we’ve been working hard to find the best path forward to address the growing mental health crisis. This is the healthcare crisis of its generation,” said Deborah Feldman, President and CEO of Dayton Children’s Hospital. “We developed this strategic plan that really starts with early intervention and prevention, goes through outpatient services, acute care services, crisis, and really the centerpiece of that plan is this new building that you see going up right here. That will allow us to expand our inpatient services from 24 beds to 48 beds but also have a really important outpatient component, which is what the Congressman has been able to help us make a reality. We could not have a stronger advocate or friend in Washington and here in Dayton.” Background: For more than 50 years, the physicians and residents at Dayton Childr… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z
https://carey.house.gov/2023/12/18/carey-sykes-lead-ohio-delegation-demanding-answers-ssa-over-improper/ Carey, Sykes Lead Ohio Delegation in Demanding Answers from SSA Over Improper Overpayment 2023-12-18 2023 2023-12 Republican House OH Mike Carey C001126 carey.house.gov carey https://carey.house.gov/press-releases/ scraper Washington, D.C. – Today, Reps. Mike Carey (R-OH) and Emilia Sykes (D-OH) led several members of the Ohio congressional delegation in demanding answers from the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration over improper payments made to beneficiaries. “Overpayments have been a problem for at least a decade — if not longer — according to our caseworkers,” said Congressman Carey. “More troubling is that SSA is now saying they might not be able to vouch for the legitimacy of how many people have been subject to overpayments. It’s time to put the American people first and curb as much error and harm to beneficiaries of Social Security as possible.” “Older and disabled Americans who have done everything correctly when filing for Social Security benefits but received overpayments through no fault of their own should not be penalized for erroneous mistakes made by the Social Security Administration,” said Rep. Sykes. “Our seniors rely on these payments to pay their bills and put food on the table — they can’t afford for the SSA to be making life-altering errors. This letter seeks to hold the SSA accountable and ensure all seniors receive the correct payments they deserve.” The Social Security Administration contacts over one million Americans annually to recoup funds disbursed in error to beneficiaries. Although these overpayments can take months or years to be recognized by SSA, once an overpayment is noticed, the adverse impact on Social Security beneficiaries is nearly instantaneous: elderly and disabled Americans relying on Social Security living on fixed incomes have had their benefits frozen or cut because of overpayment mistakes. More troubling, SSA has failed to provide adequate figures to Congress about the total number of people being impacted by this issue. Reps. Sykes and Carey sent a letter to Dr. Kilolo Kijakazi, the acting commissioner of the SSA, demanding answers as to why the problem continues to persist. Also signing on to the letter were Reps.

https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2583 Balderson-Led Bill to Combat Opioid Addiction Passes House, Heads to Senate 2023-12-15 2023 2023-12 Republican House OH Troy Balderson B001306 balderson.house.gov balderson https://balderson.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27&Page=5 scraper WASHINGTON D.C. – This week, the House overwhelmingly passed the Remote Opioid Monitoring Act by a vote of 386-37. The bill, which was introduced by U.S. Representatives Troy Balderson (OH-12) and Robin Kelly (IL-02) in June, would direct the federal government to conduct a study on the benefits and efficacy of remote monitoring technology that would enable healthcare providers to track and ensure the wellbeing of patients who are prescribed opioids. The bill was included as a part of the larger Support for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act, which focuses on equipping communities to fight substance abuse. Ohio, particularly its Appalachian region, has felt the brunt of the ongoing opioid epidemic. From 2011 to 2020, 27,071 Ohioans tragically lost their lives in an unintentional opioid overdose. “For many Ohioans, their first exposure to opioids comes from a lawful prescription from their doctor,” said Balderson. “Sadly, through either misuse or abuse, patients can become addicted to the medication. Remote monitoring is an invaluable tool for physicians to prevent addiction from the outset and save lives.” Once a patient’s prescription runs out, or when they build up a tolerance to their dosage, they may turn to illicit synthetic drugs like heroin and methamphetamine to fuel their addiction. Use of illicit drugs can already turn deadly, but the risk of overdose has skyrocketed with the rising presence of fentanyl. According to the most recent data from the Ohio Department of Health, illicit fentanyl is now involved in more than 80 percent of drug-overdose deaths in Ohio. Addiction can quickly set in when opioids are involved, making it even more important for medical professionals to intervene as soon as possible when they see the warning signs. Remote monitoring gives health care providers the ability to view trends and identify problems in physiological functions when a patient is no longer under their direct supervision. This can include tracking medication adherence and monitoring patients’ vit… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z

Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10), a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024. The legislation now needs the President’s signature to become law. “With the inclusion of $19.5 million to finish the planning and design of phase 5 of the Acquisition Management Complex at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, this year’s military funding advances the role of Southwest Ohio in the broader national security mission,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “This legislation includes the largest pay increase for our troops in over two decades, easing the burden on military families. Additionally, with new threats emerging from the Middle East as well as increased aggression from Russia, China, and Iran, this bill ensures that our armed services capabilities outpace adversary threats to maintain deterrence and international order.” Congressman Turner Specific FY 2024 NDAA Initiatives: Investment in the Competitiveness of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base: Authorizes $19.5 million for planning and design funding for the Acquisition Management Complex at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Acquisition Management Complex Phase V is a 214,200 square feet modern, secure, flexible facility that will consolidate multiple Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) directorates and organizations, streamlining their efficiency. With Wright-Patterson experiencing rapid growth, AFLCMC cannot meet projected acquisition goals for these weapons systems without a significant increase in administrative and secure usable space. While this initial planning and design authorization is $20 million, the project is estimated to cost $198 million. Overall FY 2024 NDAA Highlights: Military Service Members and Families: Supports a 5.2 percent increase in servicemember basic pay, the largest pay raise in over 20 years.

Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) introduced the Protecting Against Paperless and Electronic Requirements (PAPER) Act. This legislation prohibits banks from forcing customers to use electronic bank statements instead of paper statements. “Our country’s financial institutions have an obligation to ensure that Americans can reasonably utilize the banking services they need, and this legislation guarantees that individuals are still able to obtain paper bank statements,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “For America’s senior citizens or those living in rural or underserved communities across the United States, online banking is not a viable alternative to paper billing, and the ultimatum of losing one’s account runs counter to the principles of economic freedom that we hold dear. The PAPER Act would bar institutions from restricting their services and make certain that all Americans can participate in our banking system, regardless of their ability to connect to the internet.” Background: The Protecting Against Paperless and Electronic Requirements (PAPER) Act protects access to paper bank statements through two measures: Requiring that banks give customers the option to receive paper statements. Prohibiting banks from withholding paper services unless customers switch to all digital statements. The introduction of this legislation follows reports that banking institutions have begun to force customers to go “fully digital.” Last month, Citibank announced a new pilot program where customers were forced to relinquish paper statements in order to maintain access to their online bank accounts. This policy would disenfranchise many senior citizens and individuals who do not have reliable access to the internet. One in five American households remain without internet access, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. However, banks and other large financial institutions are increasingly pushing customers to exclusively use online banking services by discontinuing paper statements.

This will not only improve transparency in the health care system, but also create competition between hospitals, out-patient facilities, and local clinics.” Congressman Carey’s Imaging Services Price Transparency Act was included within the larger Lower Costs, More Transparency Act. This package was crafted jointly by the House Ways and Means Committee, the House Education and Workforce Committee, and the House Energy and Commerce Committee. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z

The MVRPC, which is in Turner’s district, was allocated funds under the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Fiscal Year 2023 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program. In July 2023, Congressman Turner penned a letter to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg expressing his support for the MVRPC’s grant application for the SS4A program. The MVRPC plans to use these funds to implement its Toward Zero Safety Action Plan, a comprehensive road safety strategy focused on reducing fatalities and crashes. “The MVRPC’s Toward Zero Safety Action Plan is a noble effort to increase safety for all road users in our community, and I am pleased that they have received federal funding to carry out this important mission,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “The development and implementation of this plan will enhance the safety of our roads, reduce crashes for Southwest Ohio residents, and ensure that everyone in the Miami Valley Region has access to safe transportation options, regardless of their socioeconomic status.” FY23 Safe Streets and Roads for All Program Grant Awards: Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission: $480,000 Background: The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program is administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and supports the DOT’s National Roadway Safety Strategy.

Warren Davidson today (R-OH) sent a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell in opposition to reauthorizing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) alongside the National Defense Reauthorization Act (NDAA). “Under no circumstance should Congress fully reauthorize Section 702 of FISA as an attachment to the NDAA,” said Rep. Warren Davidson. “Under Section 702, U.S. Intelligence agencies conduct mass warrantless surveillance on American citizens and a clean reauthorization or extension only continues this abuse. Congress must allow opportunity for open debate, amendments, and reform prior to any reauthorization of this legislation.” “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: it would be unwise and dangerous for Members of Congress to greenlight another major surveillance reauthorization without carefully considering and enacting robust reforms. That includes through the NDAA process,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren. “Section 702 of FISA has strayed from its original foreign anti-terrorism intent, leading to a situation where the government is searching Americans' private communications—such as internet activity, phone records, texts, and more—without obtaining warrants. It is possible and necessary for Congress to both preserve national security and curb surveillance abuse. By enacting the Government Surveillance Reform Act and not sneakily providing a short-term extension for programs that law enforcement agencies admit bypass the Fourth Amendment, Congress can protect Americans’ civil liberties.” "The intelligence community is attacking our Fourth Amendment privacy rights. Rogue actors continue to abuse FISA Section 702 to improperly spy on American citizens, and it is far past time for the practice to come to an end. The Fourth Amendment guarantees Americans a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the government should never be given the opportunity to skirt the supreme Law of the Land.

The letter, signed by 25 members, comes as videos on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-connected platform with the hashtag #freepalestine received 946 million views in a 30-day period. More than half of those views came from young adults ages 18-24. At the same time, a trend glorifying Osama bin Laden and the September 11, 2001, attack on Americans garnered millions of views, demonstrating the app’s influence over young users. Shou Chew appeared before the Energy and Commerce Committee earlier this year to discuss his company’s consumer privacy and data security practices. At the hearing, Balderson pressed the TikTok CEO on the potential harm the app poses for young Americans and how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) could exploit the TikTok’s data collection for nefarious purposes. In the letter, the members write: “On October 7, the Palestinian terrorist organization, Hamas, brutally attacked Israel and killed more than 1,400 people. Since this terrorist attack, disinformation related to the conflict has run rampant on your platform, stoking antisemitism, support, and sympathy for Hamas… Many of the younger generations are turning to TikTok rather than search engines and other verifiable sources for their news. You have led these generations to believe that TikTok is an ‘unfiltered’ news source. The members continue: “This deluge of pro-terrorist content is driving hateful antisemitic rhetoric and violent protests on campuses across the country.

The funds specifically come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). “The Dayton Arcade’s Innovation Center is a beautiful building, and it inspires people as they look to the history that has been here and what they can accomplish for the future,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “I’m very proud to have been able to secure $3 million of federal funding that assisted in the accomplishment of the renovation of this building. This building has had a number of components come together and has been a great accomplishment of local, county, state, and federal financing. Our institutions have come together to make the saving of this building in this area possible, and I’m glad to be a part of that.” “Congressman Turner delivered critically needed federal resources that enabled our team to complete construction on the third floor of this facility, which allowed us to fully complete the Arcade Innovation Hub and gives us the ability to serve dozens of additional companies each year,” said Scott Koorndyk, President of the Entrepreneurs’ Center. “This ecosystem provides guidance, support, and a home for entrepreneurs in all sectors of our community, and Mike Turner’s leadership and ongoing commitment have made a real difference.” “It’s truly a pleasure to celebrate this amazing space. Congressman Turner, without your help and your assistance, this would have never happened,” said Shelley Dickstein, City Manager of Dayton. “As Scott Koorndyk said, this space initially was dark.

She has gone from neighborhood leader to banking leader, advancing the same issues, advancing the same causes.” “I’d like to thank Congressman Turner for this wonderful award.

This bipartisan legislation restores the expired tax incentive, thus allowing developers to fully deduct the costs of environmental remediation of brownfields in the year the costs were incurred. Congressman Turner has championed this legislation since 2018. “During my tenure as Mayor of Dayton, I identified a brownfield redevelopment project that spurred the construction of what is now the Dragons’ home, and I have proudly worked to repurpose the Miami Valley’s brownfields for development ever since,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “Day Air Ballpark has become a vibrant economic and social anchor in Downtown Dayton, attracting hotels, breweries, and condominiums to the area. Communities nationwide can use the Dayton model to spur private investment, and I am grateful for Congresswoman Sherrill’s partnership in this meaningful effort.” “Brownfields redevelopment are great opportunities to take abandoned and even environmentally hazardous sites and transform them into new business opportunities and community spaces that provide critical flood mitigation and contamination cleanup. Unfortunately, the high costs associated with redevelopment make it difficult to move projects forward. That’s why I’m introducing this bipartisan bill to offset the cost of revitalizing these sites. These projects will in turn create jobs, expand opportunities for businesses, and increase property values,” said Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill. “We’ve already seen positive results in communities like Bloomfield that have turned a brownfield site into a community park and flood mitigation area. With this tax credit, we will be able to build on that success and create new opportunities for housing, infrastructure, business, and recreation.” Background: Brownfields are defined as underutilized, often vacant, industrial and commercial areas like former gas stati… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z

The Government Surveillance Reform Act would end abuses under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and end unauthorized surveillance programs,” said Rep. Warren Davidson. “It would be unwise for Members of Congress to greenlight another major surveillance reauthorization without carefully considering and enacting surveillance reform measures. For too long, federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies have had nearly unchecked access to Americans’ personal data,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren. “Our bipartisan, bicameral comprehensive and calibrated legislation provides reform solutions sought for decades. With widespread support from across the political spectrum the Government Surveillance Reform Act would dramatically curb surveillance abuse and protect Americans' civil liberties, while preserving national security.” “Americans know that it is possible to confront our country’s adversaries ferociously without throwing our constitutional rights in the trash can. But for too long surveillance laws have not kept up with changing times,” Sen. Ron Wyden said. “Our bill continues to give government agencies broad authority to collect information on threats at home and abroad, including the ability to act quickly in emergencies and settle up with the court later. But it creates much stronger protections for the privacy of law-abiding Americans, and restores the warrant protections that are at the heart of the Fourth Amendment.” “The FISA Court and the Director of National Intelligence have confirmed that our governme… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z

The cost of the supplemental funding bill is fully offset by recisions from President Biden's so-called Inflation Reduction Act, specifically the enhanced funding for the IRS. ISRAEL SECURITY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT Ensures American military readiness by providing $4.4 billion to replenish domestic defense stockpiles. Bolsters Israel’s defensive capabilities and stockpiles of munitions critical to its continued efforts, specifically by providing: $4 billion to replenish Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense systems. $3.5 billion in Foreign Military Financing for the procurement of advanced weapons systems and defense articles and services. $1.2 billion for the continued development of the Iron Beam system to counter short-range threats. $1 billion to support artillery and munitions production.

The SHIP Act was introduced by Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) and Congressman Jared Moskowitz (FL-23) and has been cosponsored by 214 members of the House of Representatives. “Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism and has been using its oil sales to fund groups like Hamas and Hezbollah for years,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “With Iranian oil sales surging in recent months, the SHIP Act would cripple Iran’s ability to finance terrorist networks by sanctioning foreign actors who knowingly assist Iranian petroleum exports. Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian is now calling on Arab states to impose an oil embargo on Israel, among other penalties, simply for defending its citizens from unprecedented acts of violence. It is imperative that we use every resource available to prevent Iran from furthering its global terror campaign.” “Iran is part of a new axis of evil that exists around the globe, working in tandem with Russia, China, and North Korea to evade international sanctions and bolster each other's economies,” said Congressman Mike Lawler. “The SHIP Act is an important step in preventing Iran from using that partnership, especially in maritime trading with China, to benefit themselves financially.

Mike Carey (R-OH) and Jared Golden (D-ME) introduced legislation to expand HSA benefits for disabled and injured veterans. “We owe every brave man and woman that put on this nation’s uniform a debt of gratitude,” said Congressman Carey. “They served selflessly and should not be burdened by bureaucratic hurdles when attempting to access their health savings accounts. Our common-sense, bipartisan bill ensures that disabled veterans will be able to fully utilize their health benefits in a timely fashion.” The Veterans HSA Access Act would allow disabled veterans who were injured in non-service-related incidents to continue contributing to their health savings accounts (HSA) even if they receive other VA health benefits. Federal law currently requires nonservice-connected disabled veterans to wait three months before they’re able to contribute to their HSA. “Arbitrary standards prevent veterans from contributing to their health savings accounts without delays,” said Congressman Golden. “Veterans should be able to use all available resources to manage out-of-pocket healthcare costs for themselves and their families. I’m proud to work across the aisle to reduce these barriers.” The bipartisan Veterans HSA Access Act is backed by some of America’s leading groups representing disabled veterans. “For too long, millions who have served our country have been denied access to tax-free health savings accounts, a powerful financial tool that already gives civilian patients direct access to medical items and services that may not be covered by their insurance or government health benefits,” said Russ Duerstine, executive director of Concerned Veterans for America. “By giving all veterans the option to save and pay for health care tax-free, the Veterans HSA Access Act would remove an unnecessary bureaucratic barrier to veterans’ health care choice.

The Act requires the President to submit a comprehensive strategy on U.S. involvement in Ukraine to Congress within 30 days of enactment. A companion bill was introduced in the U.S. Senate by Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), J.D. Vance (R-OH), Roger Marshall (R-KS), and Mike Braun (R-IN). “The Ukraine proxy war is the Washington war hawk regime’s latest obsession,” said Rep. Davidson. “The Biden administration’s ‘as long as it takes’ approach is not a substitute for a clear strategy. It’s our responsibility to demand a defined mission on behalf of the American people and get concrete answers to avoid endless war.” "The Biden administration's 'as long as it takes' approach to Ukraine is unacceptable, and frankly, not a strategy," said Sen. Lee. "Before we spend another penny on Ukraine, the administration owes Congress and the American people a plan of action. This bill requires the Biden administration to put pen to paper and define our goal in Ukraine." With $113 billion already provided and an additional $24 billion request on the horizon, the American taxpayer needs clarity on our objectives and how continued U.S. support furthers our national interests. The Define the Mission Act stipulates the required strategy must include: A clear definition of the U.S. national interests at stake. An estimation of the resources required, including U.S. personnel, materials, and funding. A forecast of security assistance to be received from NATO allies within the upcoming year. A thorough assessment of the impact of Russia's dominance in the European natural gas market on concluding the conflict in Ukraine. Furthermore, the proposed strategy cannot be contingent on the U.S. providing funds for Ukrainian reconstruction. Without a clear strategy, t… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z

Troy Balderson (R-OH), Katie Porter (D-CA), Neal Dunn, M.D., (R-FL), and Greg Murphy, M.D., (R-NC) introduced the Expanding Remote Monitoring Access Act, bipartisan legislation that would ease restrictions on health care providers and allow more seniors to benefit from remote monitoring services. The remote monitoring program has the potential to further reduce long-term health care costs, improve health outcomes, and increase options for seniors. Remote monitoring devices and technology enable health care providers to observe and treat patients from the comfort of their own homes. With remote monitoring, providers are able to catch adverse health events earlier and keep their patients out of the hospital. “We should be doing everything we can to improve access to health care services for seniors,” said Balderson. “Remote monitoring is a valuable tool for patients across Ohio, especially for those who live in rural communities with few health care facilities in their area. I am proud to introduce the Expanding Remote Monitoring Access Act because it will lower costs while improving health outcomes.” “Too many patients struggle to get consistent or follow-up care, especially those in rural communities or families without stable transportation options,” said Porter. “By making it easier for Americans on Medicare to get remote monitoring services, we are lowering costs and expanding care options—a win for patients and taxpayers.” “Remote monitoring is an important tool for disease management and can help to reduce hospital readmissions,” said Dr. Dunn. “Innovation in the medical field is making it easier than ever for patients to share data without physically traveling to their doctor, which is important for those living in rural communities. Our seniors should have access to the option of remote monitoring, when appropriate, to improve outcomes and reduce complications.” “Remote monitoring is an incredible digital technology that enables patients and physicians to better manage one… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z

Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10), Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, and Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-12), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced the It’s About Time Act, bipartisan legislation that changes the federal government’s annual funding schedule to align with the calendar year. Currently, the federal government starts its fiscal year every October 1st. This legislation transitions the funding schedule to reflect the classic calendar year, thus moving the start of the government’s fiscal year to January 1. Requiring the fiscal year to correspond with the calendar year increases efficiency and better aligns with industry counterparts. “With the threat of a government shutdown looming once again, it is time for Congress to modify the funding schedule that repeatedly puts the operations of government in jeopardy,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “The government funding deadline of October 1 continues to put our military readiness and other vital services at risk as Congress consistently struggles to pass spending bills by the current deadline. We cannot allow the critical operations at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to be threatened by senseless shutdowns. Changing the fiscal calendar to start on January 1 would mitigate the unrealistic time constraints on Congress and allow government services to continue uninterrupted.” “Today, there are few Members of Congress who will defend the current budget process because regardless of political disagreements, there is simply too much to get done in less than eight months after receiving the President's budget,” said Congressman Jerrold Nadler. “It's telling that since the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 changed the government funding deadline to October 1, Congress has only passed all of its required appropriations measures on time four times—the last being in 1997.

In April 2023, joined by fellow members of Ohio’s congressional delegation, Congressman Turner led a letter to the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to express support for the Midwest Microelectronics Consortium’s (MMEC) application for regional hub designation in Ohio through the Microelectronics Commons (ME Commons) program under the Department of Defense. “Ohio’s selection as the Midwest hub for the ME Commons program underscores the critical innovation, research, and technology ecosystem our state continues to build,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “With various defense and aerospace research installations, renowned academic institutions, and diverse manufacturing base, the Buckeye State is the logical choice for this new regional technology hub. The MMEC is an important initiative that will empower the United States to regain dominance in the global microelectronics industry and grow Ohio’s position as an international innovation and technology hub.” FY23 ME Commons Program Awards: Midwest Microelectronics Consortium (MMEC) Hub in Ohio: $24,300,000 Background: The Microelectronics Commons is a national network that will produce direct pathways to commercialization for U.S. microelectronics researchers and designers. The CHIPS and Science Act, which Congressman Turner supported, established the program for which these funds are awarded. The Defense Department announced eight sites today that will share in the $238 million allocated for the fiscal year. The program is authorized for five years, and additional funding to the hubs, including Ohio, may be awarded in subsequent years. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z

Carey. “This year, there have been more than 300 near-collisions across America’s airports, with 46 near-collisions occurring in the month of July alone. This is unacceptable, especially as any one of these incidents could have turned tragic.” Data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) indicates that this fiscal year there have been 1,590 runway incursions through September 11, 2023. Of these incursions, more than 300 were near-collisions between commercial airplanes. A near-collision occurs when two planes get too close to each other, forcing a pilot to slam on the brakes. Since airplanes are going at speeds well over 150 miles per hour at takeoff and landing, these incidents could easily turn deadly. FAA guidelines already specify that planes are not supposed to get within 3 miles horizontally and 1,000 vertically feet of each other. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z

Balderson is an original co-sponsor on the bill, which was introduced in response to California's decision to effectively eliminate the sale of new internal combustion vehicles by 2035. The bill would restrict the EPA from issuing any waivers allowing this ban or similar bans. Balderson spoke on the House floor in support of the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act. “Lawmakers in California want to outright ban the sale of new vehicles with an internal combustion engine,” said Balderson. “They are fed up with the pace of the free market, and they want to force consumers to switch to more expensive electric vehicles.” “This bill would prevent President Biden’s EPA from granting California the waiver needed to approve this ban. If the California waiver is approved, over a dozen other states could adopt identical standards to ban the internal combustion engine. House Republicans believe that Americans should be able to purchase the vehicle that meets their needs.” The Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act passed the House 222-190 with both Republican and Democrat support.

H.J. Res. 89 mandates any President who intends to withdraw the United States from NATO to acquire congressional approval or the advice and consent of two-thirds of the U.S. Senate before doing so. The joint resolution also authorizes the House and Senate to retain counsel for any legal procedures or court challenges tied to the establishment of Congress’s authority to uphold U.S. commitments as a member of NATO. “As head of the U.S. Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, I understand the United States’ unique role in NATO’s defense mission. This bipartisan resolution strengthens our relationship with NATO and reaffirms the United States’ unwavering partnership with our allies in the alliance,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “Under Vladimir Putin’s orders, Russia violated international law by invading an independent nation and continues to take aggressive steps to escalate the war in Ukraine, putting innocent men, women, and children at risk. In an increasingly complex world of threats, this legislation will make certain that the President of the United States respects Congress’s Constitutional role in our international engagements.” “The United States has a long and productive history as an engaged founding member and leader of NATO,” said Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan. “Given Russia’s continued malign behavior towards the United States and our allies, as well as their illegal and inhumane invasion of Ukraine, our nation’s continued leadership in NATO is more important than ever and vital to our national interests.

The proposed expansion includes approximately one acre of land. “The Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park is a testament to Ohio’s rich aviation heritage first shown by the Wright brothers’ innovative spirit,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “By making certain this historical landmark can operate effectively, we are honoring our commitment to preserving our past and promoting Dayton’s preeminent aviation legacy. I appreciate the concerted effort with my fellow Ohio colleagues, Congressman Landsman and Senators Brown and Vance, to expand this landmark site.

While on a tour of the Library of Congress, a staff member from Congressman Turner's office noticed that the Library's 4-H exhibit attributed the founding of 4-H to Clarke County, Iowa. Subsequently, Congressman Turner brought the mistake to the attention of Dr. Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, who directed the Library to correct the misattribution. “Clark County, Ohio played a pivotal role in the development of this critical network of youth programs, and I am encouraged by the Library’s responsiveness in correcting the exhibit,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “The 4-H youth program is an unmatched resource and has given millions of kids and teens around the country the opportunity to further their knowledge of American agriculture.

The forest, which is located in each of the Representatives’ congressional districts, covers a quarter million acres of land in southeast Ohio and is named after General Anthony Wayne, a Revolutionary War general and Founding Father of the United States. The letter questions the renaming of the forest, and it draws attention to the lack of local engagement and rushed public comment period. “While we have general concerns with removing Anthony Wayne as the namesake of the forest,” the Representatives wrote, “and whether it is worth the $400,000 price tag, we would like additional information as to why, after 70 years, the decision to rename the forest was done with little to no community involvement. As you know, the U.S. Forest Service provided only a 15-day public engagement period on whether the proposed name, Buckeye National Forest, ‘would be unacceptable.’” The Representatives call for increased transparency and ample opportunity for local communities to voice their opinion. Specifically, they request the Forest Service: Extend the public comment period to hear local residents’ perspective on the proposed name and solicit alternative names for the forest; Commit to community forums with local residents in southeast Ohio to explain why the Forest Service believes it is appropriate to change the name of the forest; Meet with local leaders and elected officials to solicit their feedback on changing he name of the forest; Provide the local communities with detailed information on why the Forest Service believes it is in the community’s best interest to remove Anthony Wayne as the namesake of the forest and provide information on the procedure for selecting a new name; … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:35:26Z

The IRS must provide better guidance to support those working to maintain these buildings.” Currently, the federal historic preservation easement program is often used to protect historic commercial buildings in large urban areas. This is because bureaucratic red tape and a lack of transparency on how taxpayers can comply with IRS guidelines have made the program extremely costly to use by the historic preservation community. Due to a lack of clear guidance from Treasury and the IRS, historic building owners are virtually guaranteed multi-year audits that require hiring attorneys and accountants, making the cost of compliance prohibitive on smaller projects. The IRS also routinely challenges whether changes to historic buildings are consistent with protecting their historic character, which is an area where the National Park Service has jurisdiction and expertise. Reps.

The letter outlines issues facing pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, and dispensers as they work to bring the drug supply chain into compliance with DSCSA requirements. Beginning November 27, 2023, all drugs must be able to be tracked electronically on the unit level. Any drugs that do not comply with the new requirements cannot be distributed or dispensed to patients. While well intentioned, it is critical the FDA ensures that DSCSA requirements do not lead to shortages of life-saving drugs for Americans. “The FDA’s efforts to protect patients have been enhanced by the systems and processes implemented across the supply chain over the past decade,” the Representatives wrote. “Further efforts required by the DSCSA will ultimately improve the ability to trace pharmaceutical products and remove potentially dangerous products from the pharmaceutical supply chain.” “However, it is our understanding that some supply chain participants are facing difficulties meeting DSCSA’s full implementation requirements. Based on what we are hearing from healthcare supply chain stakeholders about readiness for the November 27th deadline, absent government intervention, there will likely be disruptions that could lead to patient access problems and further drug shortages.” The letter is supported by the Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA), American Pharmacists Association (APhA), National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), and National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS). “HDA applauds the bipartisan efforts of Reps.

Section 199A, which was adopted as part of the landmark 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, allows for a 20 percent deduction of qualified income for pass-through businesses. Without this bill, this deduction will end in 2025. Most small businesses are structured as a pass-through and this section was included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to promote equity in America’s tax code between small businesses on main street with larger corporations. “The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted sweeping reforms to our tax code and empowered small businesses across Ohio,” said Balderson. “It is critical that Congress make Section 199A permanent and prevent a massive tax hike on American small businesses.” “Small businesses are the engine of America’s economy. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, in particular Section 199A, unleashed a robust economy where small businesses invested in their communities, creating more jobs and business opportunities. Providing permanency to this critical pro-growth tax policy will ensure small businesses continue to have tax parity with corporations and will strengthen main streets across the nation. I thank my colleagues for supporting the Main Street Tax Certainty Act and will continue to fight for its passage,” said Smucker.

Mike Carey (R-OH) and Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) introduced bipartisan legislation to unleash America’s energy independence. The Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act allows energy companies to deduct costs, including labor and safety, associated with oil and gas exploration. “American energy independence is neither a right nor left issue, but one that should unite us all,” said Rep. Carey. “Our bipartisan legislation fixes a provision within the Inflation Reduction Act that unfairly penalizes America’s energy producers. At a time of sky-high inflation, the American people need any help they can get when it comes to lowering the cost of energy.” “Our country must be ready to face the energy challenges of the next few decades,” said Rep. Gonzalez. “This commonsense bipartisan bill promotes our nation’s domestic energy production capabilities – ensuring we keep and create American jobs, lower energy prices, and decrease our dependence on foreign energy sources.” Tax deductions for energy exploration, known as intangible drilling costs, have been included within the U.S. tax code since its inception. Oil and natural gas exploration is a time and resource-intensive process with significant financial risks. For instance, 85% of all costs associated with oil exploration and well development are in the form of labor and safety standards. Unfortunately, the Inflation Reduction Act limited the ability of energy companies to deduct intangible costs and depreciating assets. The Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act allows companies to consider intangible drilling costs when calculating their income for tax purposes. These are the same deductions that every other industry is allowed to utilize. Overall, 24 House lawmakers have co-sponsored the legislation. Among others, the legislation is backed by Reps. Ryan Zinke (R-MT), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Alex Mooney (R-WV), Carol Miller (R-WV), Ron Estes (R-KS), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX, Wesley Hunt (R-TX), and August Pfluger (R-TX).

This legislation stops the federal government from circumventing the Fourth Amendment right to privacy by closing loopholes that allow the government to purchase Americans’ data from big tech companies without a search warrant. “The 4th Amendment protects the right to privacy, and it is not for sale,” said Rep. Warren Davidson. “Our bipartisan legislation creates needed reform by prohibiting the government from purchasing Americans’ data without judicial oversight. Un-Constitutional mass government surveillance must end.” “It is both sensible and necessary to close the data broker loophole that allows the government to buy some of our most sensitive personal data – like location records. In addition to closing this loophole, our bipartisan, bicameral Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act would crucially prevent intelligence agencies from using private data purchases and other means to circumvent the legal regime that Congress has put in place to prevent mass surveillance of Americans. Our digital data opens a window into the most sensitive areas of our private life, and this bill would be a major step forward in curbing surveillance abuse and protecting Americans' civil liberties,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren. "The principle here is simple: the government should not be allowed to purchase its way around the rules Congress has enacted to protect the privacy of American citizens. There is no end run around the Fourth Amendment. I am proud to reintroduce this bill, and I look forward to examining the legislation in the House Judiciary in the coming months,” said Rep.

However, peace agreements are only sustainable if all parties are willing to come to the table," said Congressman Mike Turner. "Upholding the Dayton Peace Agreement Through Sanctions Act demonstrates the United States' unwavering dedication to advancing security and preventing violence.

Balderson and McCarthy toured Encino Energy's Sanor Farms well pad facility, seeing firsthand how natural gas production is booming in Ohio. Congressmen Bill Johnson (R-OH), Dave Joyce (R-OH), and Max Miller (R-OH) were also in attendance. The event showcased the critical role Ohio plays in the growing need for robust natural gas production as McCarthy and Balderson push for American energy independence. This Congress, through the passage of H.R. 1 and the Fiscal Responsibility Act, House Republicans have prioritized American energy independence. By increasing domestic production and streamlining the lengthy, complex permitting process, the United States will no longer need to depend on foreign nations for energy, and more jobs will be created here at home. Balderson briefly addressed the crowd of natural gas workers in attendance. “Thank you to all of you that do this,” said Balderson. “We are proud of you, and we are forever grateful for what you do for this great country. Continue the good work here, and we will continue the good work in Washington.” To view Congressman Balderson’s full remarks, please click here. ### Related News House passes Rep.

The Remote Opioid Monitoring Act would create a study focusing on the benefits and efficacy of remote monitoring. “The opioid epidemic has been indiscriminate, impacting every community across the country,” said Balderson. “Preventing addiction and abuse from the outset is the most effective way to combat this crisis. This legislation would give health care providers the opportunity to oversee the treatment of their patients and observe how they respond to their prescribed medication.” “The right medication can be life-changing, and even life-saving, but we must ensure that medication like opioids are used safely,” said Kelly. “We need to better understand how to leverage current technologies by studying the efficacy and outcomes of remote monitoring of patients who are prescribed opioids. I’m proud to lead this legislation which will bring us closer to overcoming the challenges of substance abuse faced by so many Americans.” In 2021, 80,816 Americans died from an opioid overdose. Many Americans’ first exposure to opioids comes from a lawful prescription by their physician. Then, from either proper use or misuse, some patients develop an addiction. Remote monitoring gives health care providers the ability to view trends and identify problems in physiological functions when the patient is no longer under their direct supervision. Two examples of remote monitoring include tracking medication adherence and preventing opioid-induced respiratory depression, which is the direct cause of death from an opioid overdose. “Digital health technologies have proven an important tool in combatting the nation’s opioid epidemic. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) commends Congressman Balderson and Congresswoman Kelly for leading this legislation to study the use of remote monitoring tools that reduce th… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z

Congressman Turner was joined by Five Rivers Health Centers CEO Gina McFarlane-El. “The number of federal dollars that travel through Five Rivers is extraordinary, and their custodial aspect of that, how they turn those dollars into impact in our community, is a great story of success," said Congressman Mike Turner. “As a community health center, they have received over $24 million in federal funding since 2020. And in part, to achieve this redevelopment, they included $9 million of new market tax credits. So, these are all federal programs that I support that have a great impact on our community when we have people who are successful and know what to do with them. That's why I'm very thankful to be able to congratulate and thank Gina McFarlane-El for her work here and really throughout the region.” “We just want to say thank you to Congressman Turner for coming," said Five Rivers Health Centers CEO Gina McFarlane-El.

The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority, which serves communities within Montgomery County and parts of Greene County, was allocated funds under the Department of Transportation's Fiscal Year 2023 Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program. “A modern, well-maintained fleet and facilities are critical to serving the public transportation needs of the Dayton area,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “This funding award to the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority is an important win for the Miami Valley and will go a long way to ensuring that GDRTA employees are provided a safe and comfortable work environment.” Background: In May 2022, Congressman Mike Turner wrote a letter of support for the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority’s grant application for the Buses and Bus Facilities Program.

This legislation marks the continued effort to strengthen America’s energy security. “The Biden Administration’s new standards for distribution transformers threaten national security, grid reliability and resilience, and the continued domestic production of grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES),” said Balderson. “As one of the two Members of Congress with a GOES facility in my district, I am proud to join Congressman Hudson in introducing the Protecting America's Distribution Transformer Supply Chain Act to protect the grid and hundreds of good-paying steel jobs in Ohio.” “The Department of Energy should be focusing on strengthening the U.S. supply chain for distribution transformers for the next five years, not further disrupting it,” said Hudson. “My constituents can not afford further energy disruptions that jeopardize their safety. I am proud to introduce the Protecting America’s Distribution Transformer Supply Chain Act in order to ensure our electrical manufacturers can continue to do what they do best, without Washington getting in their way.” Distribution transformers, commonly seen on utility poles, lower the voltage of electrical power before it reaches the consumer. In December, the Department of Energy proposed new energy efficiency standards for low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers, liquid-immersed distribution transformers, and medium-voltage, dry-type distribution transformers. If finalized as proposed, the standards will provide little to no energy savings and further disrupt the nation’s supply chain by causing lead times to procure transformers to increase from months to years.

American flags displayed and procured by the federal government must be completely made in the USA,” said Stefanik. “Several small businesses across America, including in Upstate New York and the North Country, share their American pride by making and selling flags. I am proud to support their important work and ensure American flags used by the federal government are completely made in the USA!” “The American flag represents so much—our nation’s history, and our future to come. It’s right that our flags be manufactured here in America,” said Landsman. “This commonsense bill both honors Old Glory and the many American small businesses that supply our homes and storefronts with these flags, and I’m proud to sponsor it,” said Johnson. “I look forward to its consideration and speedy passage.” “The American flag is a symbol of freedom and hope for Texans, Americans, and the world,” said Cruz. “We should be making our flags in the Land of the Free, and I’m proud to work with Rep.

This bipartisan legislation would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 by creating a pathway for federal student loan holders to refinance their loans while still remaining public borrowers. “The student debt crisis in this country continues to worsen, and it is time for Congress to provide common-sense, reliable solutions to this problem,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “Individuals should be able to keep their loans within the federal system while also taking advantage of lowered federal interest rates. This bipartisan legislation provides flexibility for borrowers by creating a mechanism to refinance their public student loans to a given year’s interest rates, thus easing the burden of student loans on federal borrowers.” "Everyone should have access to an affordable education that does not leave them with crushing debt,” said Congressman Donald Norcross. “I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing this bipartisan bill that allows borrowers to take advantage of low-interest rates in the federal system. Reducing the burden of student loan debt will help South Jersey families, grow the middle class, and make college more accessible for everyone.” “Our nation’s student loan crisis is unsustainable and should not be a partisan issue in Congress,” said Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick. “The commonsense, common-ground legislation we are introducing today would give borrowers the ability to refinance their loans at lower interest rates.

Davidson Introduces ‘SEC Stabilization Act’ to Remove Chair Gary Gensler 2023-06-12 2023 2023-06 Republican House OH Warren Davidson D000626 davidson.house.gov davidson https://davidson.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, DC — Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) today introduced the SEC Stabilization Act alongside House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), fulfilling the promise to restructure the Securities and Exchange Commission and remove Gary Gensler as Chair of the SEC. This legislation takes corrective action to remove Chairman Gensler following his long series of abuses that have been permitted under the current SEC structure. “U.S. capital markets must be protected from a tyrannical Chairman, including the current one,” said Rep. Warren Davidson. “That’s why I’m introducing legislation to fix the ongoing abuse of power and ensure protection that is in the best interest of the market for years to come. It’s time for real reform and to fire Gary Gensler as Chair of the SEC.” “American investors and industry deserve clear and consistent oversight, not political gamesmanship. The SEC Stabilization Act will make common-sense changes to ensure that the SEC’s priorities are with the investors they are charged to protect and not the whims of its reckless Chair. Thank you, Representative Davidson, for leading this important effort to restore sanity at the SEC,” said House Majority Whip Tom Emmer. Background: Chair Gensler’s tenure has highlighted a fundamental flaw in the SEC’s structure. Under current law, the SEC Chair retains a concerning level of discretion which leaves the other four commissioner positions effectively redundant. The SEC Stabilization Act adjusts the commission to include an additional sixth commissioner, while also creating an Executive Director who oversees the agency’s day-to-day operations. All rulemaking, enforcement, and investigation authority would remain with the commissioners, who are subject to staggered six-year terms. Under the SEC Stabilization Act, a single political party would never hold more than three commissioner seats at any given time, thus protecting U.S. capital markets from any future destabilizing political agenda. The ensuing stability would also force commissioners to work tog… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z

The bill will rein in the federal budget, incentivize Congress to get budget bills done on time or trigger further cuts to spending, and rescind billions of dollars in IRS spending and unspent COVID funds. “Increasing the debt limit ensures the federal government does not default on its debts and will guarantee Ohioans receive their hard-earned Social Security, Medicare, or military payments. “While far from perfect, this legislation advances conservative priorities to save taxpayers $1.5 trillion dollars over the next decade, require the executive branch to offset the full amount of costly rules and regulations, expand work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving long-term welfare benefits, and promote American energy independence by streamlining the federal permitting process. “Ohio’s energy producers have been bogged down by unnecessary bureaucratic red tape for far too long. These commonsense measures are a positive start and will lay the groundwork for more comprehensive reform.” ### Related News Balderson, Carey, Taylor Introduce Resolution Honoring Fallen Ohio Servicemembers March 20, 2026 | Posted in Press Releases House passes Rep.

This bill would make certain that pretrial detainees receiving substance abuse treatment can continue such routines, reducing the rates of overdose and recidivism post-detainment. Congressman Turner was joined by Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck and Clark County Sheriff Deb Burchett. “As we know, with opioid addiction, it is so important for people who are receiving treatment to have continuity of care so there's not a disruption in service and perhaps a relapse that can result in us losing them to our community and their families. This bill is endorsed by the National Sheriffs Association, the National Association of Counties, the American Parole and Probation Association, and the Anti-Recidivism Coalition. Many of those in law enforcement are supporting this bill because they understand that those who've been incarcerated have not yet been convicted of a crime and do not deserve to be punished while they're incarcerated,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “I want to personally extend a huge thank you to Congressman Turner for continuing to fight for this legislation and all of the other important things that he does for our community 365 days a year. The Due Process Continuity of Care Act is vital for pretrial inmates. It's vital for our taxpayers’ pocketbooks. It's just that simple. So it's time to get this bill passed,” said Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck. “Every day, we’re dealing with violence in our jails now that we would never deal with before. But that's basically because of the fact that we don't get their medicine to them as quickly as we possibly could if they were still on Medicaid.

The Pay Less at the Pump Act will amend the IRS Code of 1986 to terminate the Hazardous Substance Superfund financing rate, also known as the Superfund Tax. Superfund Tax is imposed on crude oil when it is received at a U.S. refinery and applies to imported petroleum products. By terminating the Superfund Tax, taxpayers will save an estimated $10.5 billion over the next 10 years, lowering costs for all Americans. The Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats reinstated the Superfund Tax as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) at a rate of $0.164 per barrel. Additionally, the IRA indexed this rate annually for inflation, meaning the current Superfund Tax rate is $0.254 per barrel. “The American people need any relief they can get when it comes to the cost of energy, and this is a step in the right direction to reduce energy prices across the board,” said Congressman Carey. “The Biden Administration continues to implement policies that drive up the cost of oil and gas, which has been the main driver of our inflation crisis. House Republicans and the Ways and Means Committee are committed to lowering energy prices for the American people through common-sense legislation like the Pay Less at the Pump Act.” “Under President Biden’s radical climate agenda, taxes on American energy have risen while America’s role as a global energy leader has diminished. The result has been higher prices at the pump for families, increased expenses for businesses to ship their products, and skyrocketing input costs for farmers,” said Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith. “Rep.

"The HALT Fentanyl Act will save lives and help put traffickers of this lethal drug where they belong: behind bars," said Congressman Balderson, an original cosponsor of the legislation. "My heart breaks for the families and victims taken too soon by the grip of addiction. Closing these loopholes will prevent many more Ohioans from suffering that same fate." Illicit fentanyl is now involved in more than 80 percent of drug-overdose deaths in Ohio, according to Ohio Department of Health data. In 2022, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency seized over 410 million lethal doses of fentanyl, which is enough to kill every American citizen. H.R. 467, the HALT Fentanyl Act, would make the temporary class-wide scheduling order for fentanyl-related substances permanent. It ensures law enforcement has the tools needed to keep this lethal drug, in its many forms, off our streets. The legislation also protects researchers so we can better understand the substance's overall effects on people's health. If the temporary emergency class-wide scheduling is allowed to expire, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will lose the authority to seize substances crossing the border, the primary pathway from which illicit fentanyl enters the United States after it is made in Mexico with chemicals from China. H.R. 467 now proceeds to the Senate for further consideration. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:55:44Z

Currently, differing state laws have created a confusing NIL environment for student-athletes, universities, and businesses to navigate. This legislation is an essential step in creating an even playing field for everyone involved in NIL deals. The Student Athlete Level Playing Field Act was first introduced during the 117th Congress and has been updated to increase transparency in the process by establishing an FTC clearinghouse in which NIL deals worth over $500 must be uploaded. “The Student Athlete Level Playing Field Act will establish one federal standard for NIL, protect the college recruiting process, and bring transparency to the NIL landscape,” said Congressman Carey. “Conflicting NIL rules at the state level created an uneven playing field for universities and student-athletes. Through this legislation, we will grant student athletes the right to capitalize off their own name, image, likeness, while preserving the integrity of college sports for current and future college athletes. I am thankful for my friend and colleague Congressman Greg Landsman’s support of this important legislation.” “For some time now, folks have been calling for greater NIL structure, transparency, and protections for student athletes,” said Congressman Landsman. “This bipartisan effort will provide the national reforms and improvements that will get us there.” “I’m pleased that student-athletes now have the opportunity to benefit from their name, image and likeness. At Ohio State, our NIL programming assists student-athletes as they capitalize on their hard work, generate income for necessary expenses, and learn marketing and financial literacy skills.

By making our supply chain more resilient, we can protect families from baby formula shortages in the future.” “This critical, family-oriented legislation comes in the wake of the ongoing nationwide baby formula shortage crisis that is still heavily impacting mothers who rely on WIC to feed their babies. As the newest Mom in Congress, I have been advocating for parents and families in Upstate NY and across America struggling to find baby formula since the beginning of this crisis. It’s time to pass this legislation to ensure that we put ourselves in a position where a baby formula shortage crisis never happens again,” stated Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. “It is important to take steps to ensure Montgomery County families are not faced with another shortage of baby formula caused by a limited number of available manufacturers,” said Tracey Waller, Montgomery County WIC Senior Manager, Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County. “Our community, like many nationwide, is still recovering from the infant formula shortage that started fifteen months ago.

The American Broadband Deployment Act of 2023 is a collection of legislative efforts focused on improving broadband internet access. The package includes Rep. Balderson's H.R. 3287, the Cable Access for Broadband and Local Economic Leadership Act, which puts a "shot clock" on cable franchising authorities to grant or deny franchises to providers. "Too many Americans remain unable to access high-speed internet because the buildouts of new networks are held in limbo due to lengthy application processes for franchising approval," said Rep. Balderson. "This legislation establishes a common sense "shot clock" to help ensure projects are not bogged down by countless delays.

Specifically, this bill would prevent the VA from removing expert physician anesthesiologists from the department’s current model of anesthesia care. The reintroduction of the Protect Lifesaving Anesthesia Care for Veterans Act follows a recent proposal from the VA to eliminate physician anesthesiologists from the team of doctors tasked with administering anesthesia during surgery. Currently, the VA’s official policy directs a physician anesthesiologist to lead a team of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) to jointly monitor patients and provide safe anesthesia care to veterans. This universally adopted model of care is used when treating civilians at the nation’s top medical facilities, including the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and Emory University Hospitals, and is also the law in 46 states. “It is of the utmost importance that we provide our nation’s veterans with the highest standards of care,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “Our legislation, the Protect Lifesaving Anesthesia Care for Veterans Act, would prevent the VA from removing physician anesthesiologists from their current healthcare protocols. Retaining medical professionals who can safely administer anesthetic services is vital to maintaining the highest quality of health care for our veterans.” “Our veterans have earned the best quality of care available and should never be subjected to a lower standard of anesthesia care than the general public,” said Congressman David Scott. “Experts across the country are clear – any effort to remove the most qualified and experienced doctors from providing anesthesia can and will unnecessarily risk the lives of our veterans, especially during … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:55:44Z

It was key to establishing the Wright-Dunbar Village Historic District in West Dayton which was once home to the Wright Brothers and African American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. In fact, the Dayton region is home to 238 national register listings with a total local economic impact of over $377 million. I’ll continue to support the Historic Preservation Fund which plays a vital role in preserving and promoting historical treasures here in the Miami Valley and across the country," said Congressman Mike Turner. “At the heart of every livable community is a sense of place and uniqueness.

The Biden Administration’s rush-to-green agenda is pushing the country’s electric grid to the brink,” said Congressman Balderson. “As the federal government drives reliable power generation into retirement, the American people should know the corresponding risks that misguided policies pose to long-term grid reliability.” The Grid Reliability and Resiliency Improvements Act (H.R. 2875) would require the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), in consultation with the Department of Energy (DOE), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and the Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) to submit a report to Congress every two years identifying risks to the long-term reliability of the electric grid and electricity generation.

Our nuclear arsenal is no longer a deterrent to nuclear attack. At the height of the Cold War, President Ronald Reagan had the foresight to call upon the nation to support the Strategic Defense Initiative, later known as the "Star Wars" defense system, to protect the United States from a potential USSR missile attack. Due to fierce Democrat opposition, our nation never fully built out our missile defense capability and doubled down on nuclear deterrence. We have relied upon our adversaries’ fear that our nuclear weapons could destroy them to deter their use of nuclear weapons against us or our allies. The result has been that our cities and populace remain unprotected from a nuclear attack from Russia or China. Today, China, Russia, North Korea and Iran continue to invest in technologies to expand their capabilities to hit the United States with nuclear weapons. All four countries have also escalated their threatening rhetoric, indicating their willingness to use nuclear weapons in a military conflict.

Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representatives Michael Turner (OH-10), David Trone (MD-06), John Rutherford (FL-05) and Paul Tonko (NY-20) reintroduced the bipartisan, bicameral Due Process Continuity of Care Act. The bill amends a portion of the Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy (MIEP), which denies Medicaid coverage to eligible individuals being detained pre-trial. Specifically, this bill is aimed at ensuring pretrial detainees receiving substance abuse treatment can continue such routines, reducing the rates of overdose and recidivism post-detainment. Last year, a version of this legislation was signed into law, allowing eligible juvenile detainees to continue to receive such benefits. “Too many people in Ohio and across the country have been negatively impacted by the opioid epidemic,” said Congressman Mike Turner. “I am proud to partner with Representatives Trone, Rutherford, and Tonko in reintroducing the Due Process Continuity of Care Act. Our bipartisan legislation amends a portion of the Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy that perpetuates a dangerous cycle of treatment interruption and recidivism for individuals awaiting trial. Fixing this unconstitutional flaw in our Medicaid system will save lives.” “Our criminal justice system guarantees folks that they are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but preventing pretrial detainees from accessing Medicaid violates that right,” said Congressman David Trone. “We know that a high percentage of incarcerated individuals suffer from mental health conditions and substance use disorders – this policy is only making matters worse. This effort will restore detainees’ constitutionally protected rights and ensure access to much-needed healthcare.” “For years, I’ve worked to advance bipartisan legislation that expands access to addiction treatment and delivers needed support to our most vulnerable communities,” said Congressman Paul Tonko. “The Due Process Continuity of Care Act builds powerfully on this effort by ensuring that people not convicted of a crime retain lifes… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:55:44Z

Originally established by Congresswoman Joyce Beatty and former Congressman Steve Stivers, the bipartisan Caucus’ goal is to encourage all Members of Congress to act with civility and respect in their political discourse. Over the next year, Beatty and Carey will visit businesses and civic organizations across Central Ohio to promote the use of respectful dialogue on challenging issues. “Although Congressman Carey and I hold different political beliefs, we respect one another and are committed to finding opportunities to work together,” Beatty said. “Unfortunately, our bipartisan relationship in Congress is the exception rather than the rule. That is exactly why we are re-launching the Congressional Civility and Respect Caucus. Congressman Carey and I both know the value of civility, respect, and open dialogue, and we urge our fellow Members of Congress to do the same.” “Contrary to what is portrayed on most television sets across the nation, bipartisanship still has a home in Washington. For that reason, I am proud to join Congresswoman Beatty in re-launching the Congressional Civility and Respect Caucus,” Carey said. “Regardless of our political beliefs, it’s important that we as a governing body can work together for the good of our constituents, especially in two intertwined Congressional districts like mine and Congresswoman Beatty’s.” The announcement was made at a panel discussion on civility at the Columbus Partnership following Congressional approval of the Caucus, where Beatty and Carey spoke to CEOs from Columbus’ leading businesses and institutions about the importance of bringing civil discourse back into politics and gave updates on the issues they are working together to tackle. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:44:29Z

Warren Davidson. “House Republicans passed a necessary first step to solving our debt crisis, cutting $4.6 trillion in woke and weaponized spending and included reforms like the REINS Act. These spending cuts are critical to ensure we don’t bankrupt America—fiscally or morally, now or later.” H.R. 2811 reins in Biden’s out-of-control spending, reclaims unspent COVID funds, defunds Biden’s 87,000 IRS agents, repeals Green New Deal tax benefits, and stops Biden’s student loan giveaway. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:44:29Z

Turner T000463 turner.house.gov turner https://turner.house.gov/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representatives Mike Turner (OH-10), Jared Golden (ME-02), Claudia Tenney (NY-24), and Dan Kildee (MI-08) introduced the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) Reauthorization Act of 2023, which would reauthorize the tax credit through 2027. The HCTC provides refundable tax credits to cover more than 70 percent of the cost of health insurance premiums for certain retirees whose pensions have been taken over by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. “The Health Coverage Tax Credit helps retirees afford their health care, especially as they age. This tax credit is important for the Delphi Salaried Retirees, whose pensions and other benefits were slashed through no fault of their own,” said Rep. Mike Turner. “During this time of record inflation, it is critical that we ensure retirees are able to access affordable health care. Providing a long-term reauthorization of the Health Coverage Tax Credit would give over tens of thousands of salaried retirees peace of mind.” “For many years, millworkers in Madawaska and other retired Mainers have relied on the Health Coverage Tax Credit to keep their health insurance affordable. Having to push for the reauthorization of this credit each year does nothing but create uncertainty for these retirees and others across the country and needlessly increase their cost of healthcare,” said Rep. Jared Golden. “I’m proud to join my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to introduce this bipartisan legislation that would provide stability and peace of mind for Maine retirees through a multi-year extension of the HCTC.” “When the Health Coverage Tax Credit expired at the end of 2021, it left numerous individuals, including many Delphi Salaried Retirees in New York’s 24th District, without access to affordable health insurance plans,” said Rep. Claudia Tenney. “Congress should pass a clean extension of this program through 2028 to restore this important tax credit.

Warren Davidson (R-OH) outlined Chairman Gensler’s abuse of power and failure to protect investors. For these reasons, Rep. Davidson called for the removal of the SEC Chair through a restructure of the Commission. “To correct a long series of abuses, I am introducing legislation that removes the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and replaces the role with an Executive Director that reports to the Board, where all authority resides,” said Rep. Warren Davidson. “Former Chairs of the SEC will be considered ineligible.” During today’s Financial Services hearing, Rep. Davidson outlined the following abuses committed by SEC Chair Gary Gensler: Abusing rule proposals by averaging more than 2 new SEC rules per month. Inappropriately short public comment periods. Unworkable, and unlawful, ESG disclosure mandates. Hotel California rules for crypto: The ability to check in (with the SEC) any time, but never have the ability to leave (with approval). Endless discovery with no resolution and no clarity for captives or the market. An unworkable proposal for overhauling equity market structure. A de facto ban on crypto through the proposed custody rule. Failing to work with Congress. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:44:29Z
