Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel

Legislative Services

The Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel (OCC) is committed to actively participating in the legislative process involving issues relating to public utilities. The OCC monitors legislative activities, provides testimony on bills relating to utility issues and is available to assist legislators in the drafting of legislation.  The OCC also assists members of the public in taking action to make their voices heard on legislative issues. Visit the OCC's "Take Action" page to learn more about how you can make an impact.

Ohio’s elected officials should contact the OCC if their constituents have a question or concern about their public utilities services.

Legislators who would like more information should call the OCC’s Director of Government Affairs Amy Kurt, at 614-466-9539 or email kurt@occ.state.oh.us.

OCC has had to cancel many of its services, including its consumer call center, due to recent budget cuts. We realize you may continue to need assistance with your utility services. OCC's website provides free access to publications and resources.

You may seek assistance with utility complaints from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio: 800-686-7826. For complaints about non-utility related services, you may call the Ohio Attorney General at 800-282-0515.
