SB 116 reduces the tangible personal property tax rate for pipeline companies in Ohio from 88% to 25% of true value. This directly affects pipeline companies operating in Ohio, lowering their property tax burden on taxable assets like pipelines and related equipment. The bill amends Revised Code section 5727.111 to implement this rate change for all pipeline company property first taxed in Ohio after the effective date. The key provision is the uniform 25% tax rate, replacing the previous 88% rate for this specific industry.
To enact section 5534.673 of the Revised Code to designate a portion of State Route 28 in Clermont County as the "CPT Louis John Speidel Memorial Highway."
HB 378 creates a special "Blue Knights L.E.M.C." license plate option for Ohio vehicle owners. This procedural bill establishes the plate design under Ohio Revised Code, allowing drivers to purchase it as an alternative to standard plates. The revenue generated from plate sales typically supports the designated organization (Blue Knights L.E.M.C.), though the bill itself does not specify funding details. It directly affects Ohio residents who choose to adopt this plate for their vehicles.
To amend sections 4501.01, 4505.08, 4513.071, 4513.38, and 4513.41 and to enact sections 4503.183 and 4505.072 of the Revised Code to establish requirements relative to the registration, titling, and use of replica motor vehicles.
HCR 13 is a resolution urging Congress to formally designate the Buckeye Trail as a National Scenic Trail. The bill does not create new law but requests federal action to recognize this 1,300-mile hiking trail, which runs through Ohio, as part of the National Scenic Trail System. It directly affects Ohio's trail system and potential federal management, though it has no binding effect on Congress. The key mechanism is a formal recommendation sent to the U.S. Congress, not a policy change enacted by Ohio. This is a procedural request, not a legislative action.
To amend sections 1509.03, 1509.22, 1509.222, 1509.223, 1509.224, 1509.33, and 1509.99 and to repeal section 1509.226 of the Revised Code to expressly prohibit the surface application of brine from oil and gas wells on roads.
