OH SR454

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

Requests the EPA 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 imposes burdensome costs ($10.6 million annually) with disproportionate impact on lower-income residents who own older vehicles, while providing minimal measurable air quality improvements.

Notes Northeast Ohio currently maintains attainment status for air quality but remains subject to E-Check due to federal standards that have become more stringent since the area's 2008 redesignation as attainment.

Encourages Ohio EPA to explore alternatives to E-Check and reallocate program funding to other environmental initiatives such as nuclear industry support, wind and solar subsidies, or water quality improvements.
