OH SCR30

Urges Congress to enact the Coal Mine Health Care and Pension Protection Act to protect coal miners' pensions and health care benefits.

Identifies the United Mine Workers of America's 1974 pension plan as severely underfunded and near insolvency, affecting more than 100,000 workers due to the 2008 financial crisis.

Warns that plan insolvency would result in pension reductions for union members and harm to small businesses dependent on pensioner spending.

Directs the Ohio Senate Clerk to transmit copies of this resolution to Congress, the President Pro Tempore, Senate leadership, Ohio Congressional delegation, and Ohio news media.
