Guidance available on SB 1 compliance webpage
The “Advance Ohio Higher Education Act” (SB 1) went into effect on June 27, 2025, though a number of provisions in the bill have delayed effective dates. The university set up an implementation committee with representatives from multiple units across Ohio State’s campuses. In order to provide transparency, the committee continues to update a centralized webpage dedicated to SB 1 implementation and the work being done to ensure compliance.
