Ohio Bill to Encourage New NatGas Pipelines Passes Committee Vote

A new bill proposed by two Republican state lawmakers in Ohio, House Bill (HB) 349, makes it easier to site and build natural gas pipelines to areas of the state where pipelines currently don’t exist (see Ohio Bill Encourages New NatGas Pipelines to Spread Across State). The bill will stimulate new jobs by running pipelines to industrial parks and businesses not currently serviced by natgas. The aim is to stimulate new jobs and opportunities in the Buckeye State, a smart strategy. Good news: HR 349 was just passed by and reported out of the Ohio House Economic and Workforce Development Committee and will be voted on by the full House.
