OH HR282

Supports efforts to enact legislation ensuring all students have access to debt-free higher education with no debt upon graduation from any public institution of higher education in Ohio.

Cites that Ohio students currently graduate with an average of $29,353 in student loan debt, which hinders their ability to participate in the local economy.

Calls for increased federal aid to states and higher education institutions to reduce costs for students and enable efficient degree completion.

References the G.I. Bill's 7-to-1 return on investment for the national economy as evidence that public investment in higher education pays off.

Directs the Clerk of the House to transmit copies of the resolution to the Governor and Ohio news media.
