I don't have a clue why it got pushed back OR why the press isn't reporting on it. When the law was first signed, it was signed along with a series of other legislation so the blurb about the booster law passing was within articles about the governor signing lots of bills, which most people didn't read. I thought there would be more about it in the following months but there has been next to nothing, and what there is you have to hunt for. I discussed this with someone at a seat check recently and she was as dismayed as I am, but she is a health department employee and didn't know any more than I did about why.
As far as it getting pushed back, I didn't even find out until the day it was supposed to take effect, I noticed something on Boost Ohio Kids and sent an e-mail to our safe kids coordinator for clarification - she sent out an email to all the techs the NEXT day with the fact that it had been pushed back but not why.
Way to keep the grass roots people informed, Ohio!
