Jul09 Ohio Legislature Schedules Override Votes to Governor DeWine’s Property Tax Vetoes
The Ohio state operating budget, House Bill 96, for Fiscal Years 2026-27 (July 2025 – June 2027) has now passed. However, Governor Mike DeWine issued a record 67 line-items vetoes to the bill immediately prior to signing it into law on June 30. Line-item vetoes to the budget – the biggest piece of legislation every two-year General Assembly – are one of the key powers the Governor has, and they implement the final changes to the bill. However, the legislature can opt to hold votes to override any of his vetoes, and they are officially meeting this month to do so on a handful of these items.
