The bill, introduced by Representative Mathews, aims to enact section 3710.30 of the Revised Code, which permits the use of recycled asphalt roofing shingles in construction projects, provided that these shingles do not contain asbestos or any related materials. This legislation is designed to promote the use of recycled materials in construction while ensuring public safety by prohibiting the use of potentially hazardous substances.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the director of environmental protection will establish rules for the administration and enforcement of this section, including guidelines for testing the recycled asphalt roofing shingles. This regulatory framework is intended to ensure compliance with safety standards and to facilitate the responsible use of recycled materials in roadway and other construction projects.
