Credited from: APNEWS

  • Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has vetoed a provision aimed at protecting medical free speech for healthcare professionals.
  • The governor argues the clause would "gut" the state’s ability to regulate misconduct in healthcare.
  • DeWine noted that health professionals should not have a “legal shield” against accountability for harmful practices.
  • Another part of the same bill allows law enforcement to charge for body camera footage, which has drawn criticism from open government advocates.
  • The veto aligns with ongoing national debates on medical science and public health following the COVID-19 pandemic.
