SB 89: Authorize tax deduction for gym membership, personal training

SB 89 would amend Ohio's income tax code to allow residents to deduct the cost of gym memberships and personal training sessions from their state taxable income.

The bill proposes adding these costs to the list of allowable itemized deductions under Ohio's tax code. It does not specify a dollar limit or eligibility requirements beyond the standard tax filing rules for deductions.
