Lawmaker Floats Proposal To Shift Duties Of Prison Watchdog Agency

cicc.state.oh.us

The Correctional Institution Inspection Committee, which survived a legislative push to eliminate it, might have its duties shifted to the state inspector general's office under an idea lawmakers are considering. Republican State Representative Keith Faber made the suggestion last week at a House Finance subcommittee meeting. Inspector General Randy Meyer welcomed the idea and the potential for more funding for his agency to hire additional staff. Last year, lawmakers considered a bill that would have abolished and replaced the independent, bipartisan agency. They rejected the bill after its director agreed to resign.
