Rep. Desiree Tims, D-Dayton, took her oath of office on Monday, Jan. 6, 2024 to join Ohio's 136th General Assembly.

Lawmakers of Ohio’s 136th General Assembly received their initial committee posts earlier this year.

Committee posts are not paid, unless the lawmaker is assigned a leadership position on that committee. Chairs, vice-chairs and ranking members all receive a $6,750 stipend, but lawmakers with multiple committee leadership posts can only receive one committee stipend.

Below are the current committee assignments for lawmakers from the Dayton area, Butler County and Springfield.
