Summary

HB 778 amends Ohio tax‑exemption rules so that levies for fire protection and emergency medical services cannot be lowered by a community‑reinvestment area or an incentive‑district tax‑increment financing program. It applies to municipalities, townships and counties that create such incentive districts, and sets notice and compensation requirements when other tax exemptions are granted.
