Erin’s Law had been introduced four previous times, but never ultimately passed until this year. It now heads to Gov. Mike DeWine.
The bill passed the Ohio House 79 to 7. The Ohio Senate voted to concur with amendments made in the House. The Senate vote was 28 to 1.
The amendment is aimed at Planned Parenthood, which doesn’t have any specific curricula for sexual violence prevention. But it has a number of sex education programs, depending on the audience, that include discussion about the age of consent, identifying healthy and unhealthy relationships, communication with parents and other topics related to sexual abuse and violence prevention.
Merryn said in a Wednesday evening email she supported the amendment excluding organizations associated with abortion from providing content for the instruction.
