Plain‑English summary, cross‑checked against the official bill text.

If passed, the bill would let Ohio voters stop lawmakers from cutting or removing a local tax credit, and let them add or raise it by vote.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Citizens could keep a tax break that helps them avoid double taxes, and they could even boost it, while lawmakers lose the ability to change it without a public vote.
