Representative Roemer Encourages Participation in Public Comment Opportunity Following the U.S. EPA Region 5's Proposal to Reject the E-Check Ease Act

(Columbus, Ohio) - State Representative Bill Roemer (R-Richfield) is encouraging Ohioans to submit a public comment following the U.S. EPA Region 5's proposal to reject the E-Check Ease Act:

"My office was recently notified that the U.S. EPA Region 5 has proposed to reject the E-Check Ease Act - legislation that would have allowed residents in seven Northeast Ohio counties to submit an attestation form in place of a physical E-Check inspection. This decision is a setback for hardworking Ohio families. The attestation option offered a practical, safe alternative that would save people both time and money. Instead, Region 5 chose to maintain an outdated process that, frankly, continues to burden families with unnecessary requirements," said Roemer. "I know this issue is very important to many constituents living in my district. If you'd like to provide feedback, I strongly encourage you to submit a public comment on the U.S. EPA's proposed disapproval."

Ohioans have until January 12th to submit their concerns and may submit them here.
