Lawmakers push pollution measures and license plate reform
Week Recess defeated the measure as lawmakers voiced opposition to infringements on individual rights. Sponsors included Ralph B. Kohnen Jr. and Joseph P. Tulley who argued new bills would curb crime. Proposals to create an Ohio Air Pollution Control Commission and to boost the Water Pollution Control Board’s powers were tied to Legislative Service Commission studies. Sen. David S. Holcomb proposed shortening the license plate use period from six weeks to 30 days with a two week extension used last year to ease rushes before the April 16 deadline.
