Ohio SB141 allows counties to levy taxes for pre-kindergarten programs.

Ohio SB141 amends the state's tax code to authorize counties to levy taxes specifically for pre-kindergarten programs. The bill establishes conditions for the use of these tax funds, ensuring they are directed to licensed child care centers and preschool programs serving children aged four but not yet in kindergarten. It also prioritizes support for children and families with incomes at or below 400% of the federal poverty line. The tax can be levied for a specified number of years or as a continuing period, up to ten years for certain purposes.
