DANIEL P. TROY State Representative 77 S. High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215-6111 www.house.state.oh.us

To the people of Ohio:
As the State Representative for Ohio’s 60th House District, I am proud to support Carolyn’s Law, a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution that would implement fair and safe staffing measures for nurse and nurse aide-to-patient ratios.
Today, it is common for nurses and nurse aides to care for upwards of 20 patients at a time. This is not sustainable. Ohio’s nursing staff is overworked and under-appreciated. Carolyn’s law would mandate reasonable staffing ratios; ensuring patients receive the best care possible and preventing nursing staff from experiencing burnout.
I strongly encourage all registered voters in Ohio to consider signing the Carolyn’s Law petition, as it would meaningfully address the challenges affecting Ohio’s nurses and patients.
Respectfully,
Daniel P. Troy State Representative Ohio’s 60th House District
