DeWine signs 90-day suspension of Ohio's gasoline and diesel fuel taxes
Gov. Mike DeWine signed House Bill 519 on Oct. 1, cutting Ohio's 38.5-cent gasoline tax and 47-cent diesel tax to one-hundredth of a cent per gallon for about 90 days starting Oct. 4. Retail and motor fuel dealers must pass the full reduction on to buyers. The act, passed Sept. 30 with an emergency clause, appropriates $725 million from the General Revenue Fund to replace lost revenue.
