Legislative Services
Laws enacted by the Ohio General Assembly shape the standards for protection of Ohio consumers regarding their utility services. The Consumers’ Counsel advocates for consumers in the legislative process. This advocacy includes presenting testimony in legislative hearings. Here are links to OCC testimony before the General Assembly.
OCC also serves as a resource for legislators on issues affecting utility consumers. Elected officials and their staff members may contact Nick Stallard at Nicholas.Stallard@occ.ohio.gov with questions about utility services.
