The Honorable Jay Edwards
Chairman, Ohio House Economic and Workforce Development Committee


RE: Senate Bill 108 Letter of Support


Dear Chairman Edwards:

On behalf of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and our 8,000 members, I write to you in support
of Senate Bill 108; legislation that provides much-needed assistance to restaurants and bars and
the lodging industry.

The hospitality industry has been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. SB 108 provides
much-needed grants to help try to alleviate some of the loss that these industries have
experienced over the course of the last year.

Grants for the businesses effected shall be awarded in amounts of $10,000, $20,000, and $30,000
and shall be awarded based on factors such as demonstrated loss of revenue and the number of
employees eligible bars and restaurants employ.

We want to thank Senators Steve Huffman and Mark Romanchuk for bringing this important
legislation forward and we want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for bringing SB 108 up for a
hearing today.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding our support of SB 108 at
kboehner@ohiochamber.com or 614-228-4201.

Respectfully,

Kevin Boehner
Director, Small Business and Workforce Policy
