FOLLOWUP: Ohio Senator Pushing Bill To Regulate Air Duct Cleaning Companies

OHIO STATEHOUSE -- State Senator Kevin Bacon (R-Village of Minerva Park) says it's high time air duct cleaning companies in Ohio are regulated.

His proposed legislation would require all air duct cleaning companies register with the Department of Commerce. Register numbers would be required to be displayed in all advertisements, business documents and contracts with consumers. Plus all commercial vehicles.

Under the proposed bill, the following would be a violation:

- Misrepresent any dangerous substance including mold.

- Misrepresent sponsorship or affiliation.

- Misrepresent benefits of cleaning including ability to test for and identify mold.

- Knowingly make false claims to consumers.
