By signing a new law, Governor DeWine ensures that Ohio will not be subject to multiple vehicle requirements imposed by California.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200blegislation specifically prohibits any state agency in Ohio from\u200c adopting\u200c the emission standards for motor vehicles set by\u200c California.

If passed, this \u2062legislation\u2062 would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ohio-gov-mike-dewine-promises-to-act-on-transgender-bill-this-week\/\" title=\"Ohio Gov.
