The bill H. B. No. 2025-2026, introduced by Representative Lorenz and co-sponsored by several representatives, aims to establish limits on athletic scholarships awarded to foreign students at state institutions of higher education in Ohio. Specifically, the bill enacts a new section, 3345.67, in the Revised Code, which defines "state institution of higher education" in accordance with existing law and sets a cap on the percentage of scholarships that can be awarded to foreign students.

Under this new provision, state institutions are prohibited from awarding more than twenty-five percent of their intercollegiate athletic program scholarships, grants, or similar financial assistance to students who are citizens of foreign countries in any given academic year. This measure is intended to ensure a balanced distribution of athletic scholarships among domestic and foreign students participating in intercollegiate athletics.
