COLUMBUS

You’ll soon be able to imbibe beer with a higher alcohol content, synchronize multiple prescriptions so they can be filled on the same day and push for criminal penalties against people threatening you online, thanks to law changes passed by the Ohio Legislature and signed by Gov. John Kasich in recent weeks.

In this second of a six-part series are 10 more of 60 law changes OK’d before lawmakers left Columbus for their summer recess, with most set to take effect in August or September:

1 All in the Family,

2 More Prison Time for Gun Crimes.

4 Hot Cars and Kids,

5 Beer:

6 Pet Emergencie.

8 Dead People.

9 Autism Scholarships.
