Chavez Bill to Help Active Duty Military Purchase a Home Becomes Law

COLUMBUS—State Senator Brian Chavez (R-Marietta) joined Governor DeWine for the signing of Senate Bill 257. This legislation expands the Ohio Homebuyer Plus program to include active-duty military members who reside in another state but are stationed in Ohio. This program creates a special tax-incentivized savings account for the purchase of a home in Ohio. Chavez joint sponsored this legislation alongside his colleague Senator Terry Johnson (R-McDermott) 

"I am grateful to see this bill signed into law," said Chavez. "Our service men and women who serve our country deserve to have the option to join this program when looking to put down roots in the Buckeye State. Owning a home is a big part of the American dream. With this legislation becoming law, I hope more people live that dream in Ohio."
