The House on Wednesday rejected Senate amendments to a bill that would make major changes to Ohio election law after concerns were raised about the effect on local elections and other issues.
A story from the AP says, the unanimous vote means differences between the House and Senate will be negotiated early next year.
Republican leaders said the primary sticking point is a provision that limits contributions from employees of local elected officials to their political campaigns.
The Republicans privately discussed the issue for about three hours before deciding to stall it for now.
Rep. Kevin DeWine, a suburban Dayton Republican and the bill's sponsor, said there were problems in the Senate changes that he didn't identify.
"There are new ideas that raise more questions than they answer," DeWine said.
Lawmakers then debated key provisions of the bill, especially one that would require voters to produce identification in order to vote.
