Health Committee, Ohio State Senate
The Health Committee (formerly the Health, Human Services, and Medicaid Committee) is a standing committee of the Ohio State Senate.
Per the Senate Rules, committees of the Ohio State Senate are appointed by the President of the Senate. The rules do not give a specific date to which committees are assigned, but committee appointments occur after the organization of the Senate.[1] The President shall appoint members, a chair, and a vice-chair of each standing committee as well as a ranking minority member.[2] The Minority Leader can recommend a ranking minority member for each committee.[1] The President can be substituted as a voting member on any standing committee. The Minority Leader is an ex officio nonvoting member of each committee and can be substituted as a voting member on any committee.[2] A majority of members in a committee is considered quorum.[3]
