Summary

The bill requires Ohio’s environmental director to request that the U.S. EPA remove the state’s motor‑vehicle inspection and maintenance program—known as E‑Check—if the EPA determines Ohio is in attainment with federal air quality standards for pollutants such as ozone. If the EPA approves the request, the program would be discontinued immediately. The change would impact drivers, auto‑repair shops, and the agency that currently runs the inspections.
