Amendment to Activate 74 Law Faces June Ballot
Ohio voters may decide next June on a constitutional amendment to activate a 1974 housing loan law struck down by the Ohio Supreme Court. Rep Edward Feighan said he will introduce the amendment to gain three fifths support, aiming for the primary ballot. The plan would allow direct loans to developers and individuals, loans to lenders, and loan guarantees for home improvements or construction, with the state Housing Development Board previously empowered. The measure follows a court ruling on the law's constitutionality and comes amid broader legislative action on energy, education, and ethics reforms.
