Orab) announce the introduction of bipartisan legislation that would grant a homestead tax exemption to the surviving spouses of uniformed service members who have been killed in the line of duty, or whose death was otherwise service connected.

“The General Assembly continues to honor its solemn commitment to Ohio’s military families,” Rep. Rogers said. “This legislation aims to help keep the surviving spouses and families of uniformed service members in their homes, in the event that a spouse has made the ultimate sacrifice in the service to our country.”
