State Senator Keith Faber...
Faber Legislation to Offer More Choice to Auto Owners 
February 1, 2012 

COLUMBUS— State Senator Keith Faber (R – Celina) today presented testimony on Senate Bill 273, legislation that would alleviate some of the restrictions on Ohio’s salvage vehicle market which is one of the most restrictive in the country. 

The bill allows for a greater number of participants to compete in the salvage motor vehicle auction process while also opening internet auctions as another forum to purchase the approximately 100,000 totaled vehicles sold by Ohio insurers each year. 

Currently, the measure is being considered before the Senate Insurance, Commerce, and Labor Committee. 

Senator Faber represents Ohio’s 12th Senate District which includes Allen, Champaign, Mercer, Preble, and Shelby Counties, as well as portions of Auglaize and Darke Counties.  He currently serves as President Pro Tempore of the Ohio Senate.
