Introduced Text

Ohio HB265 amends the definition of public utilities to include resellers of utility services.

Ohio HB265 amends the definition of "public utility" in the state's Revised Code to include companies that resell or redistribute utility services such as electric, gas, sewer, sewage disposal, or water. These resellers must comply with the same regulations as traditional public utilities, including oversight by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. The bill excludes certain entities from this definition, such as municipal corporations and companies owned and operated exclusively by their customers.
