HB 60 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

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.
