OMA Opposes County Regulation of Motor Vehicles

02/17/2017

The OMA this week expressed caution to the sponsor of legislation that would empower county governments to regulate motor vehicles. Senator John Eklund (R-Chardon) introduced SB 30; he testified that the law change is needed to clarify a 1993 Supreme Court decision that took away local regulatory authority. In a joint letter with other business organizations, the OMA contends that the bill “will enable and encourage a patchwork of differing county-wide traffic regulations making it difficult, inefficient, and unsafe to move goods throughout the state of Ohio.”  2/16/2017
