Introduced Text

Ohio HB467 prohibits public utilities from recovering political expenditure costs from customers.

Ohio HB467 amends the Revised Code to prohibit public utilities from recovering political expenditure costs from customers. Public utilities must submit expenditure reports to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, which compiles these reports into a single report for the General Assembly. If a utility is found to have charged customers for political expenditures, it must refund the charges plus interest. The fines collected are placed in a political activity fine fund, which assists customers with past-due utility bills.
