A federal court has blocked a new Ohio voter registration provision that required citizens registering at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to present documentary proof of citizenship. This change, which was included in Ohio’s recent two-year transportation budget, has been challenged in court by the organizations Red, Wine and Blue and the Ohio Alliance for Retired Americans. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has stated his intent to appeal the ruling and has asked the judge to stay the order, which would allow the requirements to remain in effect while the case proceeds.

The legal arguments in the case center on the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, commonly known as the Motor Voter Act. This federal law mandates that vehicle registration offices assist people in registering to vote. Crucially, the act requires individuals to attest under penalty of perjury that they are citizens. It also explicitly bars states from demanding more than the “minimum information necessary” to complete a voter registration. The challengers’ complaint argues that Ohio cannot impose additional voter registration requirements that conflict with federal law, asserting that Congress deemed an attestation sufficient to demonstrate citizenship and allowed nothing beyond that minimum.

To Red, Wine and Blue and the Ohio Alliance for Retired Americans, the new Ohio law represents a significant change, even though all voters must be citizens. They contend that requiring documentary proof instead of a sworn statement will adversely affect their members who may not have these documents readily available. Specific groups highlighted include seniors who might have lost birth certificates, individuals whose names have changed due to marriage or divorce, or those with lapsed passports. Younger Ohioans still in school, who may have left documents with their parents for safekeeping, could also face difficulties. The challengers added that acquiring the necessary documents can be both costly and time-consuming, with processing times ranging from weeks to several months. Research from the University of Maryland suggests that 21 million Americans do not have the necessary documents readily available to register.

Secretary of State Frank LaRose and Ohio Motor Vehicles Registrar Charles Norman have maintained that the new requirements are not a substantive change. In court filings, they argued that because Ohioans already present proof of citizenship or non-citizenship for their state credentials, registrars are already informed about applicants’ eligibility to vote. The state officials also contended that the challenging organizations lacked legal standing, asserting that they could not demonstrate how their members would be harmed. They cited the example of Margaret Dutcher, referenced in the challengers’ filings, who possesses a passport but believed she should not be compelled to show it to register to vote. The state argued that if she refused to produce her passport, any injury would be “self-inflicted.”

U.S. District Judge Solomon Oliver's decision focused on a critical interpretation of the Motor Voter Act: precisely when a driver’s license application is considered “submitted.” This timing determines when the BMV is obligated to offer voter registration. Ohio officials argued that an application is not submitted until all required identity documents are presented. However, the challengers asserted that an application is submitted the moment a person applies, irrespective of whether they have all necessary documents at that initial point.

The judge considered the case of Margaret Dutcher, who, after moving to Ohio from California, visited the BMV with multiple documents, including her U.S. Passport, California driver’s license, two utility bills, and a Social Security card. Despite presenting a U.S. Passport, a BMV employee informed Dutcher her documents were insufficient to obtain a driver’s license, thereby preventing her from registering to vote at that time. Dutcher eventually registered on a subsequent visit after gathering additional documents. She told the court that this process “creates unnecessary obstacles to voting.” Judge Oliver noted the irony that Dutcher actually provided the specific proof of citizenship Ohio law sought, but still could not register because Ohio had linked the voter registration offer to the success of a driver’s license application.

In his ruling, Judge Oliver concluded that the correct time for BMV visitors to be offered voter registration must be at the point of application, not after their driver’s license application has been approved. Oliver explained that to interpret the law differently would permit states to make BMV voter registration more difficult, potentially leading to fewer registrations as the opportunity would not be proactively offered to eligible citizens. The judge issued a preliminary injunction, which bars the state from enforcing its new documentary proof of citizenship provisions. His order clarifies that it does not compel the BMV to offer voter registration to individuals who explicitly state they are not citizens.

In a press release, Secretary LaRose expressed “strong disagreement” with the decision, promising an immediate appeal. His office has also filed a motion to stay Judge Oliver’s order, arguing that requiring the BMV to offer voter registration during incomplete applications would impose an immense burden on the BMV and demand a monumental effort from the agency. LaRose referenced the case of Maria Dearaujo, one of six individuals charged by former Attorney General Dave Yost for casting a ballot as a noncitizen, a situation LaRose attributed to incorrect advice from a BMV clerk. LaRose insisted this case “proves it’s not enough to just have a person’s attestation.” Judge Oliver has requested the challengers respond to the state’s request for a stay by September 3.

Ohio lawmakers are moving to significantly increase state oversight of American civics courses in public higher education, with State Sen. Jerry Cirino, R-Kirtland, introducing Senate Bill 461 to refine and expand upon previous legislation.

Senate Bill 461 proposes creating an Ohio Civics Board that would hold “sole and exclusive authority over all aspects of American civic literacy courses,” according to the bill's provisions. This authority would encompass decisions on course structure, syllabi, class sizes, faculty instructors, and the specific content taught in these courses.

The new bill follows Senate Bill 1, which was enacted in the spring of 2025. That earlier law included a requirement for newly mandated civics courses to incorporate readings of at least “five essays in their entirety from the Federalist Papers.” While the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in the case of Pernell v. Florida this summer, affirmed that governments can dictate programs but not viewpoints, a specific clause within SB 1 began to shift this dynamic. SB 1 stipulated that department chairs would select which Federalist Papers essays would be taught. This provision marked a notable departure in Ohio law by establishing the power of a state functionary to influence how a subject is taught.

Sen. Cirino has openly expressed his intent behind the follow-on legislation. He indicated that SB 461 is designed to “close the loophole” he observed in the implementation of SB 1, particularly concerning how American history was being presented. On a podcast hosted by Ohio Senate Majority Communications Director John Fortney, Sen. Cirino addressed concerns about a textbook designed to meet SB 1's requirements “without endorsing the patriotic narrative.” He stated, “we’re not going to have any of that in the state of Ohio.”

Cirino further explained that SB 461 aims to prevent what he termed “funny business” by academicians. Under the new bill, he noted, “the directors of the five centers as a group need to be the ones in the future who will be approving the courses that qualify,” to ensure courses align with the legislature's intent.

Historically, the U.S. Supreme Court has cautioned against state interference in academic matters. In the 1957 case of Sweezy vs. New Hampshire, the court warned states that “liberties in the areas of academic freedom and political expression” were “areas in which government should be extremely reticent to tread.” For about 75 years, courts have generally maintained that while states can specify course topics, they should not dictate the conclusions instructors draw, provided discussions remain relevant to the course and within the instructor’s expertise. The provision in SB 1 allowing department chairs to select specific essays was the first time Ohio law specifically granted a state-beholden bureaucrat the power to choose how a particular subject is taught.

Senate Bill 461 outlines a robust and insulated structure for the proposed Ohio Civics Board. The board would consist of five individuals identified as “GOP loyalists.” These board members would not be elected by the public, nor could they be removed or appointed by the governor. The board is also envisioned to have significant financial independence, directly receiving tuition dollars from students enrolled in its classes. Furthermore, if the Ohio legislature were to reduce its allocated funding to these civics centers, universities would be compelled to cover any budget shortfall from their own general funds.

Sen. Cirino elaborated on the design of the Ohio Civics Board, explaining that its structure is intended to “solidify this a little bit more and protect it.” He indicated that these measures are necessary because “there will be future governors, future chancellors, future legislators, who may want to… water things down.”

Ohioans who value the quality and independence of their colleges and universities may find it worthwhile to monitor the progress of Senate Bill 461 as it advances this fall.

In other words, as long as professors stick to talking about things relevant to the course topic and their own area of expertise, the First Amendment strongly protects their liberty to present whatever viewpoints they feel are relevant to discuss.\\n\\nThis distinction – that the state gets to choose the topic and faculty decide how to pursue it – has largely held for the past seventy-five years or so. In Ohio, the state legislature broke with this precedent when it passed its claimed omnibus higher education reform bill, Senate Bill 1. A small, unremarkable provision of that law tip-toed past the larger controversies raging over the bill and quietly stepped over that line.\\n\\nBuried deep in the 42 page law is the requirement that newly state-mandated civics courses include reading at least “five essays in their entirety from the Federalist Papers.” Fine. This would pass the test affirmed this summer in Pernell v. Florida, by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, that held that the government can dictate programs but not viewpoints. But the next short sentence opened the door to blowing up this distinction.\\n\\n“The essays shall be selected by the department chair.”\\n\\nBy itself, having a department chair determine which of the 85 Federalist Papers are most worthy of teaching is probably not a clear violation of academic freedom principles (though given the range of the Federalist essays, which ones a professor chooses to highlight can be very ideological).\\n\\nBut for the first time, it specifically establishes in Ohio law the power of a state bureaucrat (yes, Virginia, chairs and deans are government functionaries, ultimately beholden to their bosses rather than their own principles) to pick and choose how a particular subject is to be taught.\\n\\nS.B. 1 was passed in the spring of 2025, and in the year since, its sponsor has been unsettled by how one aspect of it has been rolled out. State Sen. Jerry Cirino, R-Kirtland, discovered that some professors were not going to teach a celebratory and patriotic version of American history and he introduced a follow-on bill, S.B. 461, to, as he put it, “close the loophole.”\\n\\nSenator Cirino has been remarkably candid about his determination to legislate the viewpoints that he wishes to see taught. He recently spoke on Ohio Senate Majority Communications Director John Fortney’s podcast:\\n\\nFortney: There’s even a new textbook called Unpatriotic Civics, explicitly designed to fulfill the requirements of Senate Bill 1, but “without endorsing the patriotic narrative.” That’s how far some of these leftists will go to try and get around the law.\\n\\nCirino: Well, we’re not going to have any of that in the state of Ohio … So what we’ve done in Senate Bill 461 is we set it up that the directors of the five centers as a group need to be the ones in the future who will be approving the courses that qualify … That way we are not going to have any of this funny business which the academicians will definitely attempt to do, putting courses in there that don’t meet the intent of the legislation that we passed.\\n\\nFor full disclosure, I am the author of Unpatriotic Civics and its companion book, The Civics of Pluralism, that will be made available at no cost to all Ohio students through the Ohio Open Ed Collaborative, a project of the Ohio Department of Higher Education.\\n\\nCirino didn’t fully explain his own bill, because S.B. 461 does much more than merely approve courses. The law gives his Ohio Civics Board “sole and exclusive authority over all aspects of American civic literacy courses…including course modality, syllabi, class size, faculty teachers, and course content.”\\n\\nThis is a level of control reminiscent of the way the Soviet Union would station political overseers at desks next to government officials to ensure they toed the line and to report on their loyalty.\\n\\nI suspect that such a Civics Board will look unfavorably upon a textbook that highlights facts including that slavery was a major issue in the American Revolution, the idea that many patriotic Americans viewed the Constitution of 1787 as an aristocratic coup, that Dr. Martin Luther King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail was in violation of the prohibited concepts in S.B. 1, and that Adam Smith was not a consistent believer in the free market but wanted state controls over major portions of the economy.\\n\\nCirino has also explained that he established the structure of the Ohio Civics Board to insulate it from any popular attempts to check its power. As envisioned in S.B. 461, the board is composed of five GOP loyalists who are not elected and cannot be removed or appointed by the governor. They will enjoy a budget that would be the envy of every college dean in the state.\\n\\nNot only will they directly receive the tuition dollars of students taking their classes, but were the Ohio legislature to decide to cut its share of funding to these civics centers, the university must make up all the shortfall in their budgets from its own general funds.\\n\\nAll of these barriers to democratic controls were explained by Cirino this way:\\n\\n“The current chancellor is doing a really good job of ferreting out, you know, some of the courses that have been proposed to qualify, but what (S.B.) 461 is attempting to do is to solidify this a little bit more and protect it because there will be future governors, future chancellors, future legislators, who may want to, you know, water things down.”\\n\\nOhioans who care about the quality and independence of their universities and colleges might want to pay attention to S.B. 461 this fall.\\n\\\"\\\"\\\"\\n\\nFAITHFUL-DERIVATION RULES (hard):\\n- Report ONLY what the source material above supports.
