Regulate resellers of public utility services as public utilities

Maddy summaryHB 265 aims to regulate companies that resell public utility services. The bill directly affects these resellers by classifying them as public utilities under state law. This change means such resellers would be subject to the same regulatory oversight as traditional public utility companies. It achieves this by amending sections 4905.02 and 4905.03 of the Revised Code.

EnergySupports EnergyHB 265 regulates resellers of electric and gas utility services, subjecting them to oversight, which can protect utility consumers by ensuring fair practices.85% confidence
