U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) announced today that the Senate has passed his External Power Supply (EPS) Improvement Act, bipartisan legislation that will give needed certainty to Ohio LED manufacturers. Portmans legislation will exempt the manufacturers of energy saving LEDs from an onerous Department of Energyregulation that could have curtailed or stopped production of LEDs. He issued the following statement:\r\nThis bill will give needed certainty to Ohios LED manufactures from a regulation that was never intended to affect them. Now these Ohio made products will not have to fear future federal action that could have stopped production of these goodsand threatened manufacturing jobs. I am pleased the bill is now on its way to the presidents desk and I look forward to it being signed into law.\r\nNOTE: Last night, the Senate passed the House-passed version of Portmans EPS legislation (H.R. 518), and its now headed to the White House for the presidents signature.\r\n\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.portman.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=9E02597F-EE90-40B6-A7E9-B8F65C43D97B"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3703720178455114, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
