ODT Posts February 2024 PLF Distribution

The Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) posted the February 2024 Public Library Fund (PLF) distribution of $44,524,043 - which is $1.46 million (or - 3.19%) below ODT's original estimate that was issued in July 2023; and $1.35 million (or - 2.95%) below ODT's updated estimate issued in December 2023.

According to the Office of Budget and Management (OBM), overall state tax receipts for the month of January came in 2.7% or $70.4 million below estimates. OBM claims the state budget for FY24 is still on solid footing.
