This week on "The State of Ohio": The Senate version of the budget is on its way, with just a few weeks remaining to hammer out differences with the House. Lawmakers try to clarify the state auditor's role with JobsOhio. And we revisit and update two controversial issues from the last year - the abortion debate in Ohio and the state's new exotic animals law and the facility it created.

| Proof Of Automobile Insurance Law May Change. |

You might have received it in the mail at some point; a letter from the state asking you to send back proof that you carry automobile insurance. Ohio law requires you to fill it out and send it back immediately. And, if you don't, you could face stiff fines and have your driver's license revoked.
One Ohio lawmaker wants to do away with this process. Democratic State Senator Leigh Herrington's proposal would still make it illegal to drive without insurance on your car. But it would do away with the random mailings to Ohioans. In an interview with Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles, Herrington explains the current system is too intrusive. |
