No Teeth

When Republican congressional candidate Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, sponsored a bill to provide background checks for employees at kids' camps, he forgot to provide something--------enforcement. Despite the fact that Stivers has bragged about this sponsored bill, he did not complete the job.
Dispatch:
For the second year in a row, at least a third of day camps whose records were inspected by the state had not completed mandatory background checks of employees, despite increased enforcement.

Those camps, whose records were inspected June 26, are described in a database as being out of compliance on the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Web site and have 30 days to run the checks.

But if they don't, there's not much the department can do because there's no provision in the law for further punishing camps, department spokesman Dennis Evans said......

Stivers was patting himself on the back, but he had not completed the job. There was no enforcement provided in the bill.

Just a reminder:
Bush=McCain=Stivers
Offering the same failed policies
