COLUMBUS: Another camp season is passing by, and there's no authority for the state to enforce background checks on employees at residential camps across Ohio.
A bill to fix the problem is stalled after the state Legislature broke for the summer in June without passing it.
Bill sponsor State Sen. Steve Stivers, a Republican who is running for Congress, said in late April he hoped he could pass the bill before the start of summer camp season. Democrats have accused him of not following through on a commitment.
But Stivers says difficulties in defining different types of camp employees and the fact there have been few working days for the Legislature stopped the bill's progress.
Stivers says he hopes it will pass in November or December.
