Consumer Utility Billing Transparency Act
Support HB158
Ohio House Bill 158 is a smart, consumer-focused measure that promotes transparency in utility billing. By requiring electric and gas companies to clearly itemize all charges—such as riders, taxes, and fees—on customer bills, it empowers Ohioans to better understand exactly what they’re paying for. This level of clarity helps prevent hidden costs, encourages accountability from utility providers, and allows consumers to make more informed decisions about their energy use and expenses. In short, HB158 is about fairness, transparency, and giving people the tools they need to take control of their utility costs.
