Initiatives, Policies and Positions
In 2011, Bubp has introduced a bill that would clarify the difference between civil and criminal penalties associated with livestock owners' failure to keep their animals from running at large.
Reintroducing a measure from the 128th General Assembly, Bubp, along with Terry Johnson is sponsoring legislation that would allow concealed carry licensees to take their weapons into establishments that serve alcohol so long as they do not consume alcohol and additionally would remove storage mandates for keeping firearms in vehicles. The bill has been controversial with some lawmakers concerned about opposition from the Ohio Restaurant Association.
Bubp has come out against legislation that looks to abolish the death penalty in Ohio. With proponents of the legislation stating that there is evidence of discrimination towards minorities, Bubp has stated that as a former judge, he is outraged that individuals would insinuate that prosecutors behave differently due to race.

Famous quotes containing the words policies and/or positions:
“Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
—Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
“An ... important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
