The bill proposes the enactment of several new sections (4906.23 to 4906.239) of the Revised Code that establish regulations for the certification and decommissioning of natural gas fuel cell facilities in Ohio. Key definitions are introduced, including "applicant," "local political subdivision," "natural gas fuel cell," and "natural gas fuel cell facility." The bill mandates that owners or operators of these facilities provide site plans and safety information to local fire departments, report accidents to local authorities, and submit a comprehensive decommissioning plan to the power siting board at least sixty days before construction begins.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for the decommissioning plan, which must be prepared by a registered professional engineer and include a detailed schedule and cost estimate for decommissioning activities. It stipulates that the total decommissioning costs must be recalculated every five years, and a performance bond must be posted prior to construction to ensure funds are available for decommissioning. The bond amount must reflect the estimated decommissioning costs and be updated every five years. The reporting and safety information sharing requirements apply to all certified facilities, while the decommissioning regulations apply only to those not yet certified at the time the law takes effect.
