The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA) testified Wednesday in support of Senate Bill 106 before the Senate Public Utilities Committee, commending state Sen. Bill Reineke, R-Tiffin, for his leadership on the measure. The bill clarifies that electric vehicle charging is a competitive retail electric service, a change the OMA says will promote private investment, innovation and fair competition while protecting ratepayers. The testimony stated the policy will attract new manufacturing and technology jobs and strengthen Ohio’s energy market and economy. 11/5/2025
