Husted bill to protect Americans from footing the bill for new data centers blocked from passage
Position: Senator Husted advocates for the Ratepayer Protection Act, which would require large electricity customers such as data centers to pay the full incremental cost of grid infrastructure needed to serve them, rather than shifting those costs to residential and small business ratepayers.
“The Ratepayer Protection Act represents the most meaningful bipartisan step Congress could take to protect the American people from higher prices for electricity.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today brought his Ratepayer Protection Act to the Senate floor, seeking its passage by unanimous consent—a process that expedites consideration of legislation in the United States Senate.
A Senate Democrat objected, blocking the bill from Senate passage.
The Ratepayer Protection Act would ensure American families and small businesses aren’t left paying for the energy infrastructure needed to support new data centers.
Husted introduced the bill on July 16, 2026.
The Ratepayer Protection Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Sept. 16, 2026, by an overwhelming, bipartisan vote of 417-3.
“Mr. President, America is expected to build the equivalent of 1,000 major data centers during the next five years.
“1,000 data centers within the next five years, with more than 2,000 projects currently being proposed.
“And we need to protect American ratepayers from footing the bill.”
“So, as we look to build the future, we must follow some basic principles of fairness.
“The company that is creating enormous new demands for electricity should pay the costs required to serve them.”
“Working families, small businesses and senior citizens should not open up their electric bills and discover the pain for the power infrastructure needed by some large tech company in the world or in their neighborhood.”
“That is the principle behind the Ratepayer Protection Act.
“When a very large electricity customer, such as the data center, connects to the grid, it can require investments in new generation transmission lines, substations and local distribution systems.
“The Ratepayer Protection Act would require state utility regulators to consider standards, ensuring that large load customers pay the full, incremental cost of the infrastructure needed to serve them.”
“In plain language, if you create the cost, you should pay the cost.”
“Data centers should only be located where communities want them.
“They can bring billions of dollars in private investment, construction work for electricians, pipefitters, equipment operators and other skilled trades, as well as revenue for schools and local services.
“But those benefits should not come with a hidden charge of electric bills for families, farmers and small businesses.”
“When energy supply adequately meets demand, it helps put downward pressure on prices for consumers.”
“They can keep more of their paycheck for what they need to spend on for their priorities.”
“We can protect families and small businesses from unfair costs.
“The Ratepayer Protection Act rests on a principle every American understands: pay your own way.
“This is how we make sure American families are not left footing the bill for energy infrastructure required by data centers.
“Most importantly, it will help the American people keep more of what they earn.”
“Yesterday, this bill passed the House of Representatives by a nearly unanimous vote of 417 to 3.”
“So, the members of the House, they did their jobs.
“They stood up for the American ratepayer.
“And it's time for the Senate to do the same.”
“In a few moments, I'm going to ask my colleagues in the Senate to support the Ratepayer Protection Act.
“Together, we can send this bill to the president's desk for his signature.”
“The Ratepayer Protection Act represents the most meaningful bipartisan step Congress could take to protect the American people from higher prices for electricity.
“And I'm here today because we can get this done.”
“I am proud to have led this effort in the United States Senate.
“And I'm going to urge unanimous consent for this commonsense bill.”

Husted, Moreno lead effort to stop illegal immigrants from obtaining driver’s licenses
Position: Senators Husted and Moreno introduced the Red Light Act to prohibit states from issuing driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants by withholding federal transportation funding from states that allow such licenses.
“Congress has a responsibility to protect its citizens: these twenty governments are putting American lives at risk by issuing ‘drive-only’ licenses and should not be rewarded with federal taxpayer dollars.”
WASHINGTON – Sens. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) and Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) today introduced the Red Light Act. This bill would help prohibit illegal immigrants from obtaining a driver’s license by withholding federal transportation funding from states that have enacted laws to provide driver's licenses or identification cards to individuals who cannot provide proof of lawful presence in the United States.
“America continues to see the tragic results of the Biden administration’s open border and sanctuary policies. Just last month, an Ohioan was killed in a car accident because of a failed Connecticut state policy that gave a driver’s license to an immigrant who entered our country illegally. Eighteen other states and the District of Columbia also allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. This is wrong and must be changed,” said Husted.
“Ohio does not issue these licenses—and other states should follow our lead. Congress has a responsibility to protect its citizens: these twenty governments are putting American lives at risk by issuing ‘drive-only’ licenses and should not be rewarded with federal taxpayer dollars. The Red Light Act would hold these states accountable and save Americans’ lives on the road,” Husted concluded.
“How many more Ohio families have to bury their loved ones who were murdered by illegal immigrants who never should have been behind the wheel, before Democrats finally admit enough is enough? This epidemic has gone on too long. We refuse to let another ‘drive-only’ license be handed out to people who have no business being in our communities in the first place. Not one more,” said Moreno.
The Red Light Act would direct the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to withhold a state’s share of certain federal highway funds if the state has enacted a law allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses or other identification cards. The bill applies to funding from the National Highway Performance Program, Highway Safety Improvement Program and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program.
Withheld funds would instead be distributed to states that do not issue driver’s licenses or identification cards to immigrants not lawfully present in the United States.
Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) introduced the companion bill to the Red Light Act in the House of Representatives.
As the only Republican Senator with experience serving as Secretary of State, Husted is leading the charge on this issue.

Husted speaks on protecting college sports opportunities for American student-athletes
Position: Senator Husted advocates for limiting international student-athlete participation in NCAA Division I and II sports to no more than 20% of varsity team rosters to preserve athletic scholarship opportunities for American student-athletes.
“If you ask Congress to protect college sports, you should be protecting it for American student-athletes.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) delivered a speech on the Senate floor today highlighting the need for Congress to protect college sports opportunities for American student-athletes.
Husted spoke in support of his bill with Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), the Training and Education for American Members in University Sports and Athletics (TEAM USA) Act.
The TEAM USA Act would protect opportunities for American student-athletes by limiting international student-athlete (ISA) participation to no more than 20% of each varsity sports team.
Each year, NCAA Division I and II schools provide more than $4 billion in athletic scholarships to over 197,000 student-athletes. Since 2001, the number of ISAs receiving scholarships has nearly tripled, from approximately 8,945 to roughly 25,000 today.
Only about 2% of American high school athletes receive an athletic scholarship. In several Division I sports, ISAs account for more than a third of participants, with some exceeding 60%.
“I rise today to speak about the future of college athletics and American student-athletes.
“Congress is being asked to take action to save college sports.
“Well, as we consider what we need to do to save college sports, we better make sure that we're focused on saving it for American student-athletes.”
“For generations, college sports have become a part of our culture, particularly in a state like Ohio.
“A lot of states love their college sports.
“It's part of American culture.
“And it is an important part of campus life for many American students.”
“I grew up very rural and went to high school in a small town, and no one in my family had attended college.
“The only thing I wanted to do as a kid was to play college football.”
“For me, I ended up playing football at the University of Dayton.”
“The good news is that if you develop that character that you get from sports like football, where you get knocked down and you’ve got to get back up, you learn never to quit.
“That's why sports are such an important part of people's lives.”
“I would never have developed that character without the opportunity to play sports.
“And I tell you today, there's no way I'd be standing here as a U.S. Senator if it weren't for college athletics giving me the chance to develop myself from a kid who grew up where I didn't know anybody that went to college, to somebody who not only graduated, but got a chance to succeed in athletics.”
“And I want that for everybody in this country.”
“But increasingly, American student-athletes are being denied this opportunity because more and more roster spots are going to student-athletes who are from other nations.”
“While the Protect College Sports Act takes a material step towards making our nation's college sports competitive again, one critical omission exists in it.
“It doesn't look out for American student-athletes in their academic and athletic journeys.”
“And there's no incentive for colleges to prioritize American student athletes.
“And with the NIL funds that are coming in, it's going to create a bigger and bigger incentive for pro-athletes from other nations to come play college sports in America and take roster spots away from American citizens.”
“If you ask Congress to protect college sports, you should be protecting it for American student athletes.
“And that's why, Mr. President, I introduced the Training and Education for American Members in University Sports and Athletics Act, the TEAM USA Act, with House Education and Workforce Chair Walberg.
“The TEAM USA Act would encourage universities to prioritize American students when recruiting the best talent.”
“And the proposal places a 20% cap on international student roster spots per sport, with delayed implementation, so that current student-athletes are not disrupted.
“So, understand I'm not calling for a ban.
“We welcome international student athletes to America for 20% of the roster spots.
“But we have some rosters in which there is not a single United States citizen on that roster.”
“As Congress considers the future of NIL and college sports, protecting opportunities for American student-athletes must come first.
“American colleges and universities are increasingly giving scholarships and these limited roster spots to foreign athletes.
“The growth of NIL money only creates more incentives for foreign athletes to cash in on the American system at the expense of student-athletes in this country.”
“We can balance both. We can find a way to welcome the best from other nations and protect roster spots for American student-athletes.”

Husted, Walberg lead bicameral bill to protect college sports opportunities for American student-athletes
Position: The release advocates for legislation that would limit international student-athlete participation on NCAA varsity sports teams to no more than 20% per team, prioritizing scholarship and roster opportunities for American student-athletes.
“If the U.S. Congress is being asked to ‘save college sports’ we should save it for American student-athletes.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today joined House Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) in introducing the Training and Education for American Members in University Sports and Athletics (TEAM USA) Act.
The bill would protect opportunities for American student-athletes by limiting international student-athlete (ISA) participation to no more than 20% of each varsity sports team.
“As Congress considers the future of NIL and college sports, protecting opportunities for American student-athletes must come first.

If the U.S. Congress is being asked to ‘save college sports’ we should save it for American student-athletes,” said Husted.
“American colleges and universities should first and foremost provide opportunities for American students. College athletics provides a pathway to world-class education and opportunities that last a lifetime. This bill restores balance by protecting roster spots for American student-athletes. America has built the strongest collegiate athletic system in the world, and we should make sure it continues to develop the next generation of American students and American Olympians,” said Walberg.
Each year, NCAA Division I and II schools provide more than $4 billion in athletic scholarships to over 197,000 student-athletes. Since 2001, the number of ISAs receiving scholarships has nearly tripled, from approximately 8,945 to roughly 25,000 today.

Husted calls on states to end “drive-only” licenses for illegal immigrants
Position: Senator Husted opposes state policies that issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants and calls on states to end such practices, arguing they reward illegal entry and pose public safety risks.
“No state should allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses.”
COLUMBUS – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today wrote to 19 U.S. governors and the mayor of Washington, D.C. in strong opposition to policies in their states that allow illegal immigrants to obtain “drive-only” driver’s licenses and urging them to end such policies.
Nineteen states, as well as the District of Columbia, currently allow illegal immigrants to obtain “drive-only” licenses. Those jurisdictions are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and the District of Columbia.
A “drive-only” license is a type of driver’s license issued by some states to individuals who cannot demonstrate lawful immigration status or provide a Social Security number.
The issue came into focus in Ohio on Aug. 29, 2026, when an Ohioan was killed in a car crash in Fulton County. The other driver, Washington G. Naula Ochoa, was an illegal immigrant who had obtained a “drive-only” license in Connecticut. Ochoa has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide.
Ohio does not issue “drive-only” licenses to illegal immigrants. The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles maintains requirements limiting the issuance of Ohio driver’s licenses to U.S. citizens and individuals who can prove lawful presence in the United States.
This letter comes after Husted wrote to U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Sept. 3, 2026, urging the departments to prohibit states from issuing “drive-only” driver’s licenses to individuals who cannot demonstrate lawful immigration status.
“I write today in strong opposition to your state’s policies that allow its motor vehicle system to issue driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. These licenses, commonly referred to as ‘drive-only’ licenses, provide road privileges to individuals who cannot demonstrate lawful presence in the United States, erode public trust, and put Americans at risk,” wrote the lawmaker.
“No state should allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. Policies such as this not only put Americans at risk, but they continue to reward the behavior of impermissibly entering or remaining in the United States without legal status,” he continued.
“In the past eleven days, three Ohioans have been killed in car crashes caused by immigrants who illegally entered the United States,” he added.
“In the state of Ohio, individuals must provide proof of citizenship or lawful presence in the United States to receive any state identification card, including driver’s licenses. Additionally, Ohio law requires the word ‘noncitizen’ to be printed on state identification cards and driver's licenses issued to noncitizens lawfully present in the United States,” he wrote.
“I implore you to reverse course on these dangerous policies and instead adopt common-sense policies, like those in Ohio, to ensure that those obtaining driver's licenses are legally present in our nation,” he concluded.

Position: Senator Husted advocates for energy affordability through increased domestic energy production across multiple sources (nuclear, solar, wind, oil, gas, coal) and permitting reform to remove regulatory barriers to energy development.
“If we want to make things more affordable for Americans, we must make energy more affordable.”
COLUMBUS – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today delivered remarks at the Energy Affordability Summit in Columbus, highlighting Ohio’s role as a leading energy-producing and manufacturing state and welcoming energy leaders from across the country to the summit.
Husted introduced U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Arnold Ventures Co-Founder and Co-Chair John Arnold for the summit’s discussion.
“Ohio is a top 10 energy state. We have nuclear, solar, wind, oil, gas and coal. If we want to make things more affordable for Americans, we must make energy more affordable. That means ensuring we have reliable, abundant energy and fixing the policies that stand in the way of producing it. Ohio has the resources to help power America, and we need to put them to work. It was great to join leaders from across the country today who are focused on making energy more affordable for Americans,” said Husted.
The Energy Affordability Summit brings together state and federal elected officials, energy experts, and business and labor leaders from Ohio and across the country to outline a path toward greater American energy affordability and highlight the urgent need for permitting reform.
Husted is championing several efforts in the Senate to lower energy costs for Americans:
Husted calls for national ban on driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants
Position: Senator Husted calls on the U.S. Department of Transportation and Department of Homeland Security to establish a federal prohibition on states issuing driver's licenses to individuals without documented lawful immigration status, citing a fatal car accident involving an undocumented immigrant who held a Connecticut 'drive-only' license.
“I urge you to act swiftly to ensure that no other family is devastated by the consequences of these failed policies.”
COLUMBUS – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today wrote to U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin urging the departments to prohibit states from issuing “drive-only” driver’s licenses to individuals who cannot demonstrate lawful immigration status.
On Aug. 29, 2026, an Ohioan was killed in a car crash in Fulton County, Ohio. The other driver, Washington G. Naula Ochoa, was an illegal immigrant who had obtained a “drive-only” license in Connecticut. Ochoa has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide.
A “drive-only” license is a type of driver’s license issued by some states to individuals who cannot demonstrate lawful immigration status or provide a Social Security number. Ohio’s Bureau of Motor Vehicleshas maintained requirements limiting the issuance of Ohio driver’s licenses to U.S. citizens and lawful residents.
In his letter, Husted urged the departments to establish the same standard nationwide as Ohio and prevent states from issuing driver’s licenses to individuals who cannot demonstrate lawful immigration status.
“I write to urge your departments to take swift and decisive action to prohibit state Departments of Motor Vehicles from issuing driver’s licenses to individuals who cannot provide documentation of their lawful presence in the United States, commonly referred to as ‘drive-only’ licenses. Currently, nineteen states and the District of Columbia allow illegal immigrants to obtain ‘drive-only’ driver’s licenses,” wrote the lawmaker.
“On August 29, 2026, an Ohio resident tragically lost their life following a car accident in which Washington G. Naula Ochoa, an illegal immigrant who entered the United States without inspection, failed to yield at a stop sign,” he continued.
“Despite being illegally present in the United States, Washington G. Naula Ochoa obtained a ‘drive-only’ license from the state of Connecticut,” he wrote.
“In the state of Ohio, individuals must provide documentary proof of citizenship or lawful presence in the United States to receive any state identification card, including driver’s licenses,” he wrote.
“Federal regulations can build on this work and prohibit states from issuing driver’s licenses of any kind to illegal immigrants, and incentivize states to follow Ohio’s lead in designating noncitizen status on driver’s licenses granted to lawfully present noncitizens,” he continued.
“The ‘drive-only’ initiatives for illegal immigrants championed by state governments across the country are not merely lapses in judgment; they are extensions of failed immigration policies that place Americans at risk. Thank you again for your commitment to protecting the American people. I urge you to act swiftly to ensure that no other family is devastated by the consequences of these failed policies,” he concluded.

Husted views storm damage in Reynoldsburg, meets with working families in Cincinnati
Position: Senator Husted supports tax relief for working families, reform of federal assistance programs to eliminate benefits cliffs, and housing supply expansion through reduced regulatory barriers.
“These conversations reinforce my priority as I serve in the U.S. Senate—to make sure Ohio families have more opportunities to save, spend and invest in the priorities that matter most to them.”
COLUMBUS – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today visited Reynoldsburg to receive an update on storm damage and recovery efforts before traveling to Cincinnati to host a roundtable with working Ohioans from southwestern Ohio to discuss ways to make life more affordable.
“Today, I had the chance to again see firsthand how our communities are recovering from the storms we faced earlier this month. I requested expedited federal assistance because Ohio communities deserve the resources they need to recover and rebuild as quickly as possible. I also had the opportunity to hear directly from working Ohioans in Cincinnati about what we can do to make life more affordable. These conversations reinforce my priority as I serve in the U.S. Senate—to make sure Ohio families have more opportunities to save, spend and invest in the priorities that matter most to them,” said Husted.
The Reynoldsburg visit comes after Husted wrote a letter to Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Cameron Hamilton and U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler requesting they begin conducting damage assessments in Ohio as soon as possible due to the repetitive and ongoing storm impacts.
At the roundtable, Husted met with academic, business, faith and community leaders to discuss his work in the Senate to make life more affordable for working families.
Husted supported the Working Families Tax Cuts Act to put more money back into the pockets of hardworking Ohioans by including:
Husted introduced the Upward Mobility Act in January. The bill seeks to reform federal public assistance programs, end the benefits cliff and incentivize career growth. A benefits cliff occurs when Americans receiving federal public assistance experience a significant or complete loss of federal resources after a small increase in income. Americans receiving benefits may earn a raise or work more hours, but instead of increasing their total earnings, they end up worse off because their federal assistance drops sharply.
He also worked to pass the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. This package is the largest housing bill to move through Congress in at least a decade.
The package reflects years of bipartisan, bicameral work and incorporates priorities from the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives and White House into a unified package to address America’s housing affordability crisis. The legislation focuses on the root cause of rising housing costs by cutting red tape, unlocking housing supply, lowering costs for families, protecting taxpayers and preserving local control.
Husted joins President, EPA administrator for announcement to cut costs for Americans at the White House
Position: Senator Husted supports reducing federal environmental regulations on refrigerants and appliances to lower costs for consumers and businesses, particularly in grocery retail and cold storage sectors.
“I’m committed to lowering everyday costs for working families—that’s why my first bill to become law was focused on just that.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today joined U.S. President Donald Trump and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin for an announcement in the Oval Office about new actions that will reduce burdens and cut costs for consumers.
“I’m committed to lowering everyday costs for working families—that’s why my first bill signed into law focused on just that. This announcement aimed at lowering grocery prices is another step toward moving America in the right direction by cutting out-of-touch regulations that make life more expensive for Ohioans. I’ll keep working to restore consumer choice and eliminate overbearing and costly regulations for the American people,” said Husted.
The announcement includes a proposed rule that would change federal refrigerant regulations for air conditioners, grocery stores and cold storage equipment that are intended to lower costs for businesses and help reduce grocery prices for consumers.
Husted joined Columbiana Foods, Inc. Owner & COO Ronald Graff, his wife Jennifer Graff and his father Ron Graff Sr. for the announcement. The Graff family operates three independent Giant Eagle stores in the Youngstown area.
This builds on Husted’s work to make life easier and more affordable for Ohioans. Husted’s resolution was signed into law in May 2025, giving consumers more choices at lower costs by reversing a burdensome Biden administration energy requirement on household appliances.
Husted introduces bill to crack down on student aid fraud
Position: The release advocates for legislation that would strengthen Department of Education oversight to prevent student aid fraud by requiring identity verification and placing institutions with fraud flags under enhanced review.
“This bill would strengthen oversight capabilities at the Department of Education to ensure federal aid goes to real students while protecting hard-earned taxpayer dollars.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today joined Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) Chairman of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) in introducing the Student Aid Fraud Oversight and Accountability Act. This bill would require strong safeguards to prevent student aid fraud.
Specifically, it would target “ghost students,” a stolen or fabricated identity that impersonates a student to enroll in classes to fraudulently obtain federal and state financial aid. These scammers, often operating in coordinated, international networks, collect grants and financial aid, then disappear without ever attending classes, leaving taxpayers holding the bill.
“Criminals are exploiting financial aid programs by impersonating students, which is wasting taxpayer dollars that could be going to the students who need it the most. This bill would strengthen oversight capabilities at the Department of Education to ensure federal aid goes to real students while protecting hard-earned taxpayer dollars,” said Husted.
“Every dollar spent on fraudulent student aid is a dollar stolen from a student in need. Let’s crack down on fraud in federal financial aid programs, ensuring the aid goes to the students in need,” said Dr. Cassidy.
“Our students spend years paying back debts from higher education institutions that are oftentimes recklessly spending their money without any sort of accountability. Bad actors steal student aid funds and never pay them back—meanwhile actual students pay the price when they aren’t allowed to take the courses needed to graduate. This bill creates much needed oversight that puts the student and taxpayer first and holds our universities accountable,” said Tuberville.
The Student Aid Fraud Oversight and Accountability Act would create an oversight mechanism requiring the Department of Education to identify institutions that disburse federal aid to applicants flagged for potential fraud. Schools that are flagged would then be placed in a priority category for program review, audits and other oversight. Schools can be exempted if they verify student identities through an in-person or live video call, before aid is dispersed.
Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.) introduced the companion bill to the Student Aid Fraud Oversight and Accountability Act in the House of Representatives. The bill passed the House Committee on Education and Workforce unanimously on March 17, 2026.
This bill builds on Husted’s work to fight fraud in our education systems. Husted and Tuberville launched a task force to tackle fraud in education and hold bad actors accountable.
