The Ohio Legislature dropped a multi-billion dollar COVID relief plan on Tuesday afternoon intended to improve public health and provide support to entities disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. The $2.15 billion proposal is part of the Statehouse’s response to the economic stressors of the pandemic and is funded, in part, by federal funds.
Thus far, the relief plan has been laid out in four Senate Bills organized by subject matter. The House is expected to release “companion bills” with identical content, enabling the Chambers to conduct Committee hearings on these measures simultaneously. The legislation as drafted would provide Ohio schools, businesses, public health professionals, child care providers, housing-insecure persons, and others with monetary assistance. Additional details are below.
