Summary

The bill changes Ohio’s municipal income‑tax rules so that any city or village that wants to levy a tax higher than 1% must first get a majority vote from its residents. It also makes voter approval necessary before a municipality can cut, repeal, or modify a credit that offsets taxes paid to other municipalities, while allowing citizens to petition for a credit increase. Finally, the Department of Taxation must conduct a statewide study of municipal income‑tax collection and impacts and report its findings to the General Assembly.
