The resolution proposed by Senator Blessing seeks to repeal Section 13 of Article XII of the Ohio Constitution, which currently prohibits wholesale excise taxation on food and nonalcoholic beverages. This change aims to allow for the imposition of such taxes, potentially impacting the state's revenue and taxation structure.
If the resolution is approved by a three-fifths majority in both houses of the Ohio General Assembly, it will be presented to voters during the general election on November 2, 2027. Should the majority of voters support the repeal, the amendment will take effect on January 1, 2028.
