To enact section 5703.83 of the Revised Code to | 1 |

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 5703.83 of the Revised Code be | 6 |
enacted to read as follows: | 7 |
Sec. 5703.83. Not later than ninety days after the effective | 8 |
date of this section, the department of taxation shall acquire the | 9 |
necessary information technology hardware, software, and services | 10 |
to create a database and calculator, accessible and searchable by | 11 |
the public through the internet, that will enable individuals and | 12 |
businesses to determine the rate of all taxes imposed by or | 13 |
pursuant to the Revised Code and to compute their potential tax | 14 |
liabilities. For taxes of the same character, the database and | 15 |
calculator shall enable individuals and businesses to determine | 16 |
the rate and compute potential liability for each tax individually | 17 |
and all taxes in aggregate. For taxes for which the rate is not | 18 |
uniform throughout the state, the database and calculator shall | 19 |
enable individuals and businesses to determine the rate and | 20 |
compute potential liability by street address and through | 21 |
selection of a location on a map. An internet link to the database | 22 |
and calculator shall be created and maintained on the Ohio | 23 |
business gateway web site. | 24 |
A local taxing authority shall report any tax rate changes to | 25 |
the tax commissioner within thirty days after adoption of the | 26 |
related ordinance, resolution, or ballot measure. | 27 |
