The opposition to SB 203, which was introduced by Senator Grendell, was silenced by congressional testimony provided on May 28, 2008 by Jerry, Horton, and NPTA's Executive Director, Mike ston, among others. ston spent the majority of the day (May 28) working with Senator Grendell and " industry representatives " to negotiate approval of the bill. After numerous meetings, a revised and stricter version of SB 203, was approved by Senator Coughlin's committee and sent to the Senate floor for a vote. " This is a tremendous achievement, " explained ston, " but the battle is still far from over. We will be returning after the fall elections to work with members of the Ohio State House of Represenatives which must now approve the bill before it heads to the Governor. " ston's changes to the bill included, among others, not excluding the ExCPT certification exam and introducing more stringent language regarding mandatory training and education. 's Law has also been introduced federally (HR 5491) by Congressman LaTourette, who is working closely with Ohio State Senator Grendell and the Jerry family.
