A bill in the Ohio Senate would require auto mechanical repair shops to register with the state. Collision shops already have to do this, and supporters of the bill say this would lend credibility to the business. But others say this is an overreach of state oversight. It's not just auto repair shops: the state has licensing restrictions for all sorts of businesses. Who benefits, and who loses?
