Bill would exempt overtime wages from taxes
State Rep. Tex Fischer, R-Boardman, reintroduced legislation to allow people to deduct their overtime wages from their state income tax.
Fischer and state Rep. Nick Santucci, R-Niles, introduced the same legislation on Nov. 4.
It was referred to the House
Ways and Means Committee eight days later and never received a hearing before the legislative session ended.
“Everyday, tens of thousands of Ohioans will pick up an extra shift to help cover the rising cost of living and provide for their families,” Fischer said.
“We need to create a culture that rewards hard work and allow our workers to keep more of what they earn.”
