OMA Board Examines Reshoring, Legislative Threats

On Dec. 6, the OMA board of directors held its Q4 meeting at the OMA’s headquarters in Columbus. Besides being briefed on OMA operations, directors were updated on post-election threats in the General Assembly, including House Bill 235 (union hiring mandate) and House Bill 317 (“House Bill 6 rerun“). The OMA is actively opposing both bills.
