This week, several members of Ohio’s congressional delegation introduced legislation in Washington D.C. to repeal the U.S. EPA’s nuisance rule for Ohio.

As previously reported, Ohio’s nuisance rule, which was reinstated in the final hours of the Biden administration, is an outlier among other states and exposes our manufacturers to an unprecedented wave of costly federal lawsuits.

The OMA thanked the authors, Representatives Troy Balderson and Michael Rulli, and Senators Jon Husted and Bernie Moreno, in a statement this week, praising the repeal as a move to return Ohio’s regulatory environment to one of consistency and fairness. 3/4/2025
