WARREN Legislation in the Ohio House would create an eight-person, bipartisan Electric Vehicle Commission that would, in part, identify and evaluate opportunities for growth in the industry.
House Bill 292 also would create a temporary sales tax exemption for electric-vehicle production parts.
Republican joint sponsor Al Cutrona of Canfield announced the bill Friday, saying the commission “serves as an investment for job retention and economic development” in northeast Ohio.
“Remaining economically competitive within the region of Ohio and as well as with our neighboring states is a top priority,” Cutrona said.
Creating the commission, Cutrona said, is a good first step to study and make recommendations on the issue. It could happen as automakers embrace an all-electric future and already have set down a path to remake the auto industry.
