Ohio HB137 amends the tax code to allow boards of library trustees to propose tax levies exceeding the ten-mill limitation.

Ohio HB137 amends sections 3709.29 and 5705.23 of the Revised Code to allow boards of library trustees to propose tax levies exceeding the ten-mill limitation. If the board of library trustees declares by resolution that the tax revenue within the ten-mill limitation is insufficient, the taxing authority may submit the question to the electors. If approved, the levy can be made within the library district. The bill repeals existing sections 3709.29 and 5705.23, applying the amendments to certifications made after the bill's effective date.
