SB 467: Modify when marked police car used for traffic law enforcement

Ohio Senate Bill 467 amends state law to specify when police vehicles must be marked for traffic enforcement duties. It requires that any vehicle used by a peace officer primarily for enforcing motor vehicle or traffic laws, including those handling violations captured by photo-monitoring devices, must have distinctive markings equivalent to other local law enforcement vehicles. The bill also mandates that these vehicles be equipped with at least one external flashing light, though the light does not need to be active at all times. Additionally, it repeals a previous section of the code related to these vehicle requirements.

HB 977: Exempt sales of aircraft to nonresidents from sales tax

HB 977 proposes to exempt the sale of aircraft to nonresidents from Ohio's sales tax. Currently, the state imposes a 5.75% tax on retail sales of aircraft, but this bill would create a specific exception for transactions where the buyer does not reside in Ohio. The legislation amends existing state tax codes to remove this particular charge while leaving other sales tax rules for aircraft and general retail items unchanged. This change would directly affect aircraft dealers and private buyers who are purchasing planes for use outside of the state.
