Honda’s Jeff Reed Testifies Against “Patchwork” Regulations

12/13/2024

This week, Jeff Reed from OMA Member American Honda Motor Company testified against House Bill 237, which would reclassify and redefine the registration, usage, and safety requirements of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).

In his testimony, Reed emphasized the need for a national definition and regulations on ATVs, and that complying with a patchwork of regulations state to state is overly burdensome for manufacturers.

The OMA joined Reed by submitting written testimony, highlighting concerns about increased compliance costs, supply chain complexities, and uneven regulatory standards that could hinder Ohio’s manufacturing competitiveness. The association encourages further collaboration with stakeholders to address these issues. 12/11/2024
