Representative Bob Young - District 36

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Bob Young (R-Green) has indicated he will be joining Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague in voicing opposition to a new banking policy brought forth by the Biden Administration. The Administration’s proposal would require financial institutions to turn over private citizens’ personal bank account information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) if they exceed $600 of inflows or outflows in an account.

State Rep. Bob Young (R-Green) introduced today House Bill 408 that seeks to ban the sale of catalytic converters on cars without proof of ownership. The bill brands catalytic converters as “special purchase articles” under the law, making it illegal to be sold to any entity without proof of ownership. The bill’s intent is to protect consumers from catalytic converter theft and create more transparent guidelines for businesses.

State Rep. Bob Young (R-Green) has cosponsored House Resolution 56, which calls for the elimination of the E-Check program under the Federal Clean Air Act. The program requires Ohio citizens living within Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, and Summit Counties to get their vehicles tested every two years to pass regulatory emissions requirements.
