Amended House Resolution 247 Summary

• Urges Congress and President Trump to amend the Federal Clean Air Act to eliminate the requirement to implement the E-Check motor vehicle emissions testing program

• Requests USEPA Administrator begin rulemaking to repeal and replace the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standards and prohibit revising NAAQS more than once every fifteen years

• Argues the E-Check Program in seven Northeast Ohio counties costs $10.6 million annually, disproportionately impacts low-income residents, and produces minimal measurable air quality improvements compared to vehicle manufacturer technology improvements

• Encourages OEPA to explore alternatives to E-Check and reallocate program funds to other environmental initiatives such as nuclear industry support, wind and solar subsidies, or water quality improvement

• Directs the House Clerk to transmit copies of the resolution to Ohio's Congressional delegation, USEPA, OEPA, the President's office, and Ohio news media
