The Buckeye Institute commented on The Buckeye Institute-championed recommendations included in the Occupational License Review Report, which the Ohio House State and Local Government Committee adopted. “The report adopted by the Ohio House State and Local Government Committee embraces 20 Buckeye Institute recommendations to eliminate and reduce burdensome occupational licensing requirements. If the entire General Assembly embraces these recommendations, more barriers to work will be removed, and it will be easier to earn a living in Ohio.”
