Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine recently signed a bill into law that designates natural gas as a source of “green energy,” according to Farm and Dairy.

Additionally, state agencies will be required to open public lands to oil and gas leasing under the newly-signed law.

Ohio House Bill 507 started out as a way to decrease the minimum number of poultry chicks that can be sold in a lot from six to three. However, over the course of its life, the Ohio Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee tacked on a variety of additional initiatives. These amendments include defining green energy, allowing oil and gas leasing on state public lands, internet sales exemptions from auction laws, local preemption of pesticide use and vehicle towing and storage authorization for law enforcement.
