http://billjohnson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398350 Bill Johnson Statement on the Ohio Sales Tax Holiday 2014-12-15 2014 2014-12 Republican House OH Bill Johnson J000292 billjohnson.house.gov     legacy Bill Johnson released the following statement after the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation establishing a sales tax holiday for three days next August geared towards consumers doing back-to-school shopping: share: f t I was pleased to learn that the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation establishing a sales tax holiday for three days next August geared towards consumers doing back-to-school shopping. It is my understanding Gov. Kasich will sign the measure into law. Before I was elected to Congress, I built a grassroots coalition called the Ohio Sales Tax Reform Incentive (OSTRI), that first advocated for this legislation back in 2009. In my current position, I hear from constituents every day who are still over-taxed. This action will allow Ohioans to save more of their hard-earned money as they purchase essential back-to-school products for their family.  When consumers have additional buying power, it creates confidence, and is a form of private sector economic stimulus.  This measure helps keep retail revenue and jobs in Ohio, keeps Ohio consumers from crossing state lines to do their school shopping elsewhere, and it attracts consumers from neighboring states to do their back-to-school shipping in Ohio.  It’s a simple economic concept. This legislation is a win-win-win for Ohio consumers, retailers, and local and county governments. 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
