Establishes a grant program for political subdivisions in Ohio after mergers.

The bill creates the Political Subdivision Incentive Grant Pilot Program to award grants to political subdivisions in Ohio following mergers. The Secretary of State administers the program, awarding grants on a first-come, first-served basis. Townships and municipal corporations receive grants based on a formula involving population and budget comparisons, with a maximum of $1 million. Other political subdivisions receive grants up to $2.5 million. Each political subdivision can receive only one grant. The program uses funds from the Political Subdivision Consolidation Incentive appropriation.
