❌ SB110
Modify tax credits under the rural business growth program
Summary
The bill modifies the availability and eligibility for tax credits under the rural business growth program in Ohio. It establishes criteria for certification of rural business growth funds, outlines the application process, and specifies the investment requirements and penalties for non-compliance. The bill also sets limits on the total eligible investment authority and credit-eligible contributions for different programs within the rural business growth initiative.
Rationale
The bill increases government involvement in economic activities by providing tax credits and establishing regulations for rural business growth funds, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and free markets. Additionally, it imposes restrictions on businesses and funding that may not align with the Libertarian Party of Ohio's emphasis on free market principles and limited government.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over business operations
- Potential for cronyism and favoritism in tax credit allocation
- Distortion of market dynamics through government intervention
