Sec. 743.50. If the auditor of state has determined that a | 8 |
municipal corporation is supplying to nonresidents more than fifty | 9 |
per cent of the total electrical service supplied by the municipal | 10 |
corporation within the municipal corporation, and if the municipal | 11 |
corporation intends to discontinue service to a nonresident for | 12 |
the purpose of complying with the limitation of Section 6 of | 13 |
Article XVIII, Ohio Constitution, the municipal corporation shall | 14 |
provide written notice to the nonresident that the service will be | 15 |
terminated not less than one year before the date service will be | 16 |
terminated. For not less than one year after such notice has been | 17 |
provided, the municipal corporation shall continue to supply to | 18 |
the nonresident electricity and any other utility service that it | 19 |
supplied to the nonresident on the date of the notice under the | 20 |
same terms the service was supplied on that date, except as | 21 |
follows: | 22 |
If a municipal corporation to which this section applies | 28 |
terminates service to a nonresident after the one-year notice | 29 |
period has expired, the municipal corporation, the nonresident, | 30 |
and the public utility supplying electricity to the nonresident | 31 |
each shall be responsible for one-third of the reasonable costs | 32 |
incurred by the nonresident or public utility in establishing new | 33 |
electricity service, unless the municipal corporation also | 34 |
terminates service to residents. If the municipal corporation does | 35 |
not terminate service to the nonresident after the one-year notice | 36 |
period has expired, it shall continue to supply electricity to the | 37 |
nonresident under the same terms as the service was supplied on | 38 |
the date of the notice, except as provided in divisions (A) and | 39 |
(B) of this section. | 40 |
