Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 1332.22, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 1332.22.
The general assembly finds and declares all of the following for the purposes of sections 1332.21 to 1332.34 of the Revised Code : (A) Video service brings significant daily benefits to this state by providing news,
education, and entertainment. (B) This state's economy will be enhanced by investment in new communications and video
programming infrastructure, including fiber optic and internet protocol technologies. (C) Enhancing the existing broadband infrastructure and increasing consumer access to
robust and reliable broadband products and services are important, statewide concerns. (D) To date, there has been only minimal competitive entry by telephone companies into
the facilities-based video programming market in this state, in part, because local
franchise requirements may present barriers to entry. (E) Increased competition in the provision of video service will provide new and more
video programming choices for consumers in this state, and new providers have stated
their desire to supply that service. (F) The time-to-market interval is critical for new entrants seeking to compete with
incumbents. (G) Local franchise and other requirements may present inordinate delays for new entrants. (H) This state can and should provide a uniform regulatory framework by which persons
can rapidly and expeditiously provide video service to residents of this state regardless
of their jurisdictional locations, which framework will promote rapid competitive
entry into the video service market and encourage additional, significant infrastructure
investment. (I) Maintaining an existing franchise in cases where new entrants obtain video service
authorizations is not appropriate unless the incumbent chooses to maintain that franchise. (J) The continued development of Ohio's video service market and promotion of infrastructure
investment are matters of statewide concern and are properly subject to exercises
of this state's police power. (K) By analogy to Am. Financial Servs. Assn. et al. v. Cleveland, 112 Ohio St. 3d 170, 2006-Ohio-6043 , citing Canton v. State, 95 Ohio St.3d 149, 2002-Ohio-2005 , syllabus, sections 1332.21 to 1332.34 of the Revised Code are intended as a comprehensive legislative enactment operating uniformly throughout
this state, setting forth police regulations, and prescribing a rule of conduct upon
citizens generally.
