Syllabus

The trial court did not err in entering judgment for the State because: (1) the challenged provisions of Sub.H.B. 5, passed by the 130th General Assembly, do not violate the Ohio Constitution's Home Rule Amendment (2) the challenged provisions of Am.Sub. H.B. 49, passed by the 132d General Assembly, do not violate the Ohio Constitution's Home Rule Amendment (3) Am.Sub. H.B. 49 does not violate the Ohio Constitution's One-Subject Rule and (4) the plaintiffs failed to establish any other violation of the Ohio Constitution. Additionally, the failure of the trial court to notify the plaintiffs that it intended to decide the case on its merits following the preliminary injunction hearing did not warrant reversal because plaintiffs failed to establish that they suffered any prejudice due to the lack of notice.
