Ohio Clean Energy Amendment (2014)

Not on Ballot
This measure was not put on an election ballot

The Ohio Clean Energy Amendment did not make the November 4, 2014 ballot in Ohio as an initiated constitutional amendment. The measure would have directed the General Assembly to provide $1,300,000 over 10 years to fund energy infrastructure capital improvements, research and development of clean energy and development of sites and facilities for the industry, commerce, distribution, research and development of clean energy. The measure sought to add a Section 2s to Article VIII of the Ohio Constitution.
