Why it matters
The proposed bill would eliminate Ohio’s 38.5-cent gas tax and 47-cent diesel tax for 90 days. However, House Speaker Matt Huffman stated that the measure could leave the state with a revenue hole exceeding $600 million, which would require using unspent Ohio Department of Transportation money, general revenue funds, and the state's rainy day fund.
