Rhodes Signs Bill Removing $1 For Emergency Gas
Gov. James A. Rhodes signed House Bill 1213 ending the $1 per month surcharge on residential gas bills used for emergency fuel purchases last winter. The measure passed 76 to 19 in the House and 25 to 7 in the Senate, with Rhodes cautioning about regulatory limits and potential future court challenges while noting the bill prevents charges for households using no emergency fuel. Rep. Michael P. Stinziano championed the bill, arguing it would defuse the surcharge costs though Rhodes warned of long term consequences for industry and PUCO flexibility.
