SB 3: Phase-down the state income tax to a flat rate of 2.75%

SB 3 would replace Ohio's current progressive income tax system with a flat 2.75% rate over two years. It directly affects all Ohio residents and businesses earning income in the state, including individuals, trusts, and estates. The bill eliminates the current tax brackets (which tax higher incomes at increasingly higher rates) and sets a single tax rate of 2.75% on taxable income. This change aims to simplify the tax code and provide uniform tax relief for all income levels, though the bill does not alter the current tax base or exemptions.

HB 493: Sunset the sale of delinquent property tax certificates

After this date, counties will no longer be permitted to sell delinquent property tax certificates under the current system.
