LateST from Strauss Troy.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 352 into law on January 12, 2021. House Bill 352, more commonly known as the Employment Law Uniformity Act (“Act”), enacts several important changes that employers should understand. The following highlights some of the changes to Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4112 related to discrimination claims. The Act becomes effective April 15, 2021.

Did you recently get slapped with a surprisingly high property tax bill? Consider applying for a reduction of your property’s taxable value at your county’s board of revision. Your property tax bill is calculated as a percentage of the auditor’s assessed value of your property. Every three years, Ohio county auditors re-assess the values of all residential and commercial properties in their counties.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law on December 27, 2020. This spending bill provides $900 billion in stimulus relief for the COVID-19 pandemic, including $284 billion for the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for new and previous borrowers under the Economic Aid Act.
