(ONN) – Governor DeWine signed nine new bills into law following a whirlwind session by Republican lawmakers at the Ohio Statehouse.
The new bills include Ohio’s first sports betting bill and Esther’s Law, a law that will allow families to put cameras in nursing home rooms of loved ones.
The governor also signing the controversial ‘born alive’ abortion bill.
It puts criminal penalties on doctors who fail to give medical care when a baby is born alive following an abortion attempt.
The Republican governor signed the measure over objections of abortion rights groups.
They contend it could lead to two clinics in southwest Ohio shutting down.
