Ohio House Moves SB117 Out of Committee

We have received information from Rob Reynolds Senoir Director - External Affairs that the Ohio House Public Utilities Committee voted unanimously (23-0) to recommend Sub. SB 117, the Ohio video legislation, for passage following a 7-hour committee session today. The "omnibus" amendment that we agreed to with cable and the Administration was amended in several respects and several other amendments were adopted.

The bill is expected to be on the House floor on Thursday for a vote.

Thanks for your help thus far. We are urging you to keep the e-mails, letters and calls going to House members and the Governor. Never has there been a more important piece of legislation, that directly affects our jobs,been before the Ohio Legislature.

Again we wish to thank everyone for their support.
