Representative Adam Mathews Supports 90 Day Gas Tax Holiday for Ohioans

LEBANON, OH-- State Representative Adam Mathews (R-Lebanon) today voted in support of a legislative effort that will temporarily suspend Ohio’s State Gas Tax for 90 days, providing real relief to Ohioans as fuel costs continue to rise.

Sub. House Bill 519 would go into effect in October, providing Ohioans with $725 million in relief leading into the holiday season. Importantly, these savings will be achieved while providing uninterrupted access to funds for state and local road maintenance and construction.

“Our good stewardship of taxpayer dollars has put us in the position to provide instant relief for everyday Ohioans,” said Rep. Mathews. “Ohioans deserve a break at the pump and roads that are still there when the holiday ends.”

This initiative is part of the Ohio House Republicans’ broader efforts to lower the cost of everyday life for Ohioans. House Republicans have championed several pieces of legislation aimed at providing savings you can see since the beginning of the General Assembly, including cutting state income taxes with a new flat rate, passing a slate of bills to provide more than $4 billion in property tax relief over the next three years, expanding access to publicly funded child care and preschool, and renewing the expanded summer sales tax holiday.

Sub. House Bill 519 now heads to Governor Mike DeWine for his signature.
