Voted to pass House Bill 173 in the Ohio Senate. The bill would have taken submetering companies out of Ohio's legal definition of a public utility. Submetering is when a landlord or vendor measures and bills each unit after power reaches the building's main meter. That would have freed those companies from full oversight by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. The bill set separate rules instead, including a tenant discount of at least three percent. The Senate passed it 24-9, the House agreed the next day, and the governor vetoed it on June 24, 2026.
