Ohio House Sets July 21 Session to Override DeWine’s Property Tax Vetoes

A rare July session in the Senate Chamber is prompted by Statehouse maintenance to focus on three targeted tax relief items.

Overview

  • DeWine used his line-item veto authority to strike nearly every property tax relief measure lawmakers had included in the two-year, $60 billion budget.
  • House members received a memo scheduling the session at 11 a.m. on July 21 to consider overrides of vetoed items 55, 65 and 66.
  • The three measures would restore county budget commission procedures, enforce a 20-mill floor for property taxes and limit school district levy increases.
  • Lawmakers excluded a separate provision capping school district carryover funds from this override attempt, leaving it for future consideration.
  • The Senate has not yet announced when it will reconvene to vote, so successful overrides depend on securing a three-fifths majority in both chambers.
