The Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) submitted a letter to Ohio's HB 96 Conference Committee expressing support for changes made in the Senate version of the bill. The updated language in sections 1713.03-.041 provides necessary clarity on the bill's scope and obligations, helping to preserve access to innovative digital tools used across Ohio schools.
As the trade association representing more than 375 companies in software, digital content, and education technology, SIIA emphasizes the importance of balancing student protections with the need for educational innovation. The refinements to HB 96 help achieve that balance, and SIIA looks forward to continued collaboration with Ohio policymakers to support transparency, efficacy, and access in education.
