The resolution adopted by the Ohio Senate addresses the election of Jane M. Timken to fill a vacancy in the Senate for the 29th Senatorial District. This vacancy arose following the passing of Senator Kirk Schuring in November 2024. According to Section 11 of Article II of the Ohio Constitution, the vacancy must be filled by election among members of the Senate who are affiliated with the same political party as the last elected senator, which in this case is the Republican Party.

The resolution formally elects Jane M. Timken as the new senator for the 29th District, affirming that she meets the qualifications required by the Ohio Constitution and state laws. Additionally, the resolution mandates that the details of the vote, including the names of those who voted in favor, be recorded in the Senate journal, and that the Clerk of the Senate certify the resolution and the vote to the Secretary of State.
