The Senate Transportation Committee this week made a round of changes to House Bill 54, the biennial state transportation budget.

The Senate revisions incorporated at least forty alterations, including the removal of the House-added airport improvement fund and the passenger rail compact.

Senators also strengthened a provision regarding proof of citizenship when registering to vote at an Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles deputy registrar.

The OMA will continue to monitor the legislation that also governs the shipments of freight by rail and common carrier. 3/12/2025
