A House Bill 6 reform bill advanced by an Ohio House panel on Wednesday would delay until 2022 a ratepayer fee to provide a $1 billion-plus bailout to the owner of the Davis-Besse and Perry nuclear plants. The bill wouldn t take effect until after the state starts collecting the fee on Jan. 1, but ratepayers would receive refunds for any fees they pay before the bill kicks in. (AP file photo) AP file
