To enact section 5703.83 of the Revised Code to require the creation of a tax database and calculator to allow individuals and businesses to determine their current tax rates and potential tax liabilities.

Section 1. That section 5703.83 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:

Sec. 5703.83. Not later than ninety days after the effective date of this section, the department of taxation shall acquire the necessary information technology hardware, software, and services to create a database and calculator, accessible and searchable by the public through the internet, that will enable individuals and businesses to determine the rate of all taxes imposed by or pursuant to the Revised Code and to compute their potential tax liabilities. For taxes of the same character, the database and calculator shall enable individuals and businesses to determine the rate and compute potential liability for each tax individually and all taxes in aggregate. For taxes for which the rate is not uniform throughout the state, the database and calculator shall enable individuals and businesses to determine the rate and compute potential liability by street address and through selection of a location on a map. An internet link to the database and calculator shall be created and maintained on the Ohio business gateway web site.

A local taxing authority shall report any tax rate changes to the tax commissioner within thirty days after adoption of the related ordinance, resolution, or ballot measure.
