Summary

The bill changes Ohio law so companies that install or manage energy services on a customer’s side of the utility meter – such as solar, battery storage, EV charging or landlord‑resold electricity – would no longer be treated as public utilities. It also stops utilities from moving meters to block those services. The measure was vetoed by the governor.
