COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Ohio’s next budget has been introduced, and Gov. Mike DeWine has prioritized childcare and preparing children early for later success in life.
The governor announced he’s expanding his childcare voucher program to thousands more working families who are having trouble affording daycare.
The budget also emphasizes improving the literacy of pre-K and kindergarten students.
The budget will now move onto the Ohio Statehouse for debate and changes before landing back on DeWine’s desk, where he has line-item veto power. He has until the end of June to sign the budget into law.
Additionally, according to the governor's office, the budget:
Provides opportunities for parents to take part in Ohio’s workforce through a refundable child tax credit of $1,000 per child through age 6. Promote access to children’s physical and mental health including literacy, vision care, and other programs. Encourage talented Ohioans to keep their talents in Ohio as they forge careers in the most in-demand job industries. Support Ohio’s law enforcement agencies with investments in more efficient and reliable emergency services and accessible, affordable training. Protect and improve water quality throughout Ohio.To review the full proposed budget, click here.
