Columbus, OH – Greg R. Lawson, a research fellow at The Buckeye Institute, commented after Governor Mike DeWine signed Ohio House Bill 509 into law.

“By streamlining and eliminating many of Ohio’s occupational licenses, the Buckeye Institute-championed reforms in House Bill 509 represent another step towards making Ohio a more prosperous state where people can earn a living without jumping through regulatory hoops that make Ohio a laggard in economic and job growth.”
