Representative Holmes Introduces Bill to Regulate Sale of Brine
COLUMBUS – As Spring approaches, Representative Adam Holmes (R-97) is already focused on how to prepare Ohio for the next winter. The Representative announced Tuesday he had introduced House Bill 545, which seeks to establish the conditions and requirements for selling brine from certain oil and gas operations, a proven de-icing commodity already used in parts of Ohio.
“Keeping our roads safe during hazardous conditions is a top priority.” Holmes said, “This bill establishes a regulatory framework for this brine to be recycled and made widely available. Protecting Ohioans, recycling, and using the most efficient products available is what HB 545 is all about.”
Representative Holmes also stated he looks forward to giving sponsor testimony once the bill is assigned to a committee.
