COLUMBUS — “Legislative Republicans are close to proposing an extension of a freeze on state standards for energy efficiency and renewable energy, an idea that Gov. John Kasich has said he opposes.

Sen. Bill Seitz, R-Cincinnati, has been circulating a draft of a three-year extension of the freeze and could introduce it as a bill as soon as next week, according to lawmakers and lobbyists who are closely following it. The bill would seek to implement some of the recommendations of the Energy Mandates Study Committee, a joint House-Senate panel that issued a final report in September.

Seitz, a key player in passing the original freeze in 2014, was not available for comment on Wednesday.

Senate President Keith Faber, R-Celina, said he is generally supportive of extending the freeze, particularly while waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on the Obama administration’s proposed regulations on carbon emissions.”
