OH Legislature Passes Ban on NatGas Bans, Gov. Expected to Sign

The states that produce Marcellus and Utica Shale are ensuring no rogue local municipalities will get it into their heads to ban the use of natural gas like some municipalities in left-leaning states including California and New York. Both Pennsylvania and Ohio have bills that would "ban bans" of natural gas (see OH, PA Bills Prevent Natural Gas Bans by Local Municipalities). While PA's bill is still making progress, the Ohio legislature has jumped ahead and just passed House Bill (HB) 201 to ban bans. The bill now goes to Gov. Mike DeWine who is sure to sign it into law.
