The weirdest laws proposed at the Ohio Statehouse

• These legislative pet projects usually go overlooked, but sometimes can beat the odds to become law.

Some unusual items the 135th General Assembly has cooked up:

🇺🇸 No foreign-made flags: HB 87 would prohibit government entities from purchasing any U.S. or Ohio flag made outside of America.

❌ Watch that drone: HB 77 would prohibit you from photographing a prison, military base or other "critical facility" via drone in furtherance of a separate crime.

• Accidental or non-criminal footage is still acceptable.

⛵ Watching water skiers: HB 284 would allow boat operators towing water skiers to observe them via rearview mirror, instead of needing a second observer on board, as current law requires.

🛩 Up, up and away: SB 42 would adopt the 1905 Wright Flyer III as the official state airplane.

🐟 Cast in stone: HJR 5 would establish a state constitutional right to hunt and fish.

🏍️ It's about time: HB 176 would make motorcyclists eligible for a custom Ohio Carpenters license plate.

📆 Specially designated days: Lawmakers want to create Devo Day (April 18), Rutherford B. Hayes Day (Oct. 4), Roy Rogers Day (Nov. 5), A Christmas Story Family Day (Nov. 18) and Umpire Recognition Month (May).
