        Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens (R-Kitts Hills) Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens (R-Kitts Hills) said on Tuesday, Senate Bill 83 will not have enough votes to pass through the House. Stephens has been adamant before about the bill needing to change in order to have enough support. This message contrasts with what has previously been seen in the Ohio Senate, where Senate Bill 83 passed in a 21-10 vote in May. After going through the Senate, the bill underwent a number of changes from its original form, including building fewer barriers between Ohio universities and Chinese schools and exemptions from certain American history courses. Ultimately, Stephens still does not see enough support generated for the bill to pass through the Higher Education Committee. Read more at the link in our bio. 📰 Kayla Gleason 📸 Matthew Brown
