The Money Transfers Bill
Ohio proposes fee on money transfers to fight drug money
Enact Withholding Illegal Revenue Entering Drug Markets WIRED Act
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, Ohio would add a fee to money‑transfer services and give the companies a tax credit, which could raise costs for everyday users.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens should watch this bill because the new fee could make sending money home more expensive, while the tax credit mainly helps the companies that collect the fee.
