This week, the Ohio House voted to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of a budget measure that bans school districts and local governments from placing replacement and emergency levies on the ballot.

The 61-28 vote, supported solely by Republicans, bans school districts and local governments from using replacement or emergency levies.

The House opted not to vote on two other property tax measures rejected by DeWine.

One would allow county budget commissions to reduce voter-approved levies if they decide tax collections are excessive or unnecessary, and the other would change the calculation for the 20-mill floor, which ensures school districts receive a certain level of funding.

Senate President Rob McColley said via a social media post on X that the Ohio Senate has the votes to concur with the House override but did not say when the vote will take place.7/21/2025
