HB 60: Allow use of campaign funds to pay certain child care costs

HB 60 amends Ohio campaign finance rules to allow candidates for office to use campaign funds for certain childcare costs directly related to their campaign activities. This change applies specifically to candidates running for statewide offices and their campaign committees. The bill modifies existing provisions in the Revised Code to explicitly permit these childcare expenses as allowable campaign costs, while maintaining other campaign finance reporting requirements. It does not alter the overall campaign spending limits or create new financial obligations for candidates.

HB 30: Phase-down the state income tax to a flat rate of 2.75%

HB 30 would replace Ohio's current progressive income tax structure with a single flat tax rate of 2.75% over two years. It directly affects all Ohio residents and businesses earning income in the state, including individuals, trusts, and estates. The bill eliminates current tax brackets (like the $26,050 threshold for lower rates) and sets a uniform 2.75% tax on all taxable income, regardless of earnings level. This change aims to simplify tax filing and provide uniformity, though it would reduce tax revenue for the state compared to the current system. The bill is currently in early stages (introduced February 2025) and has not yet been voted on.
