An Ohio Senate committee is set to take up tomorrow that would limit the water pressure allowed in swimming pools and splash pads.

The House passed the bill last month that would limit water pressure settings for splash pads and pools. Now, it will have its first hearing in the Senate Government Budget committee.

The bipartisan bill is named after McKenna Day, a Cincinnati girlin 2019, when she was 7 years old. The bill passed the House overwhelmingly, with only 8 Republicans voting against it.
