Ohio House Bill HB280

Caption

Regards lead testing, certification, and tax credits

Impact

The bill also stipulates that local authorities, particularly municipalities and counties, must adjust their payments from the local government fund based on their compliance with lead hazard reporting requirements. These adjustments are intended to incentivize local governments to fulfill their obligations related to lead safety, thereby ensuring that properties remain safe for residents. Payments to local authorities are linked to the volume of traffic camera fines collected, further connecting safety measures to funding.

Summary

House Bill 280 introduces a new framework for the provision of lead abatement tax credits intended to incentivize property owners to mitigate lead hazards in residential dwellings. The bill allows taxpayers or pass-through entities that incur lead abatement costs on eligible dwellings to apply for a tax credit certificate worth a maximum of $10,000. This provision encompasses residential units constructed before 1978, recognizing the increased risk of lead exposure in older structures and aiming to enhance public health and safety.

Contention

The introduction of HB 280 may spark debates regarding the balance between incentivizing safety improvements and the fiscal implications for local governments. Critics may argue that tying local funding to compliance metrics could place undue burdens on municipalities, potentially affecting their financial stability. Additionally, there may be discussions on the adequacy of funding mechanisms for lead abatement and public safety initiatives, particularly as communities work to navigate the complexities of lead hazard identification and remediation.
