SB 356: Temporarily increase the amount of the homestead exemptions

SB 356 temporarily doubles the property tax reduction for Ohio homeowners with homestead exemptions during the 2026 tax year. It directly affects homeowners who qualify for homestead exemptions by applying the increased reduction entirely to their second-half tax bill. The bill achieves this by multiplying the standard exemption amount by two, without increasing the total tax relief allowed under existing law. This emergency measure aims to provide immediate tax relief to vulnerable Ohio taxpayers.

SB 361: Prohibit the use of eminent domain for recreational trails

SB 361 prohibits government entities from using eminent domain (taking private property for public use) to acquire land for recreational trails. It specifically amends the Revised Code to define "public use" as excluding trails for nonmotorized activities like hiking, biking, horseback riding, or canoeing. This directly affects property owners whose land might otherwise be seized for trail projects and agencies seeking to build such trails. The bill does not change eminent domain rules for other public uses like roads, utilities, or schools. The measure is currently pending in committee after its introduction on February 10, 2026.

SB 339: Create the Dayton Dragons license plate

SB 339 creates a specialty "Dayton Dragons" license plate for Ohio motor vehicles. When drivers purchase this plate, 100% of the revenue collected from the plate fee is distributed by the state treasurer to specific designated charitable organizations. The bill directs funds to groups including cancer support organizations, autism awareness programs, multiple sclerosis societies, sickle cell disease associations, educational foundations (like Future Farmers of America and 4-H), and scholarship funds for universities such as Notre Dame and Marshall. This is a standard specialty plate bill where revenue supports pre-identified causes rather than the team itself. The bill was introduced on January 12, 2026.
