GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ House Bill 203, called Aspen’s Law, is under review in the Ohio State House Judiciary Committee to stiffen penalties for distracted driving in active school zones.

- ➤ State lawmakers met with Butler County taxpayers last week to outline plans for long-term property tax relief as proposals target changes in the system (House Bill 28 passed 62-to-30 on March 19) and lower school district tax rates. They said taxes will not drop immediately and are expected to climb by about 20 to 25% after the 2026 reappraisal, with 528 districts holding $10.5 billion in carryover (a key factor in the new relief measure).

HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ Public health experts and pediatricians say that measles vaccination rates in more than 150 area schools remain below the herd immunity threshold—only one-third of local elementary schools meet the 92% standard—raising the risk of an outbreak if a case is introduced.
