I testified on behalf of Ohio Senate Bill 184 at a hearing on Wednesday, January 30th. Instead of a long post, I'll point you to a few related links, including the bill itself. Please note the bill's sponsor and co-sponsors. The hearing was for the Judiciary - Criminal Justice committee, chaired by Senator Grendell. The corresponding bill in the Ohio House of Representatives is House Bill 264.
The office of the bill's sponsor, Senator Buehrer, 1st Senate District in the NW corner of Ohio (Ohio Senate district map), was extremely helpful to me.
The Buckeye Firearms Association has coverage of the hearings which has a positive mention of ORPA. Also, The Ready Line has coverage.
Here is a relatively short story from a Cleveland television station (no mention of ORPA, sorry).
I'll be writing a short article about this for the next "Gunsmoke."
