    State Issues

    State Issue 1 To enact Section 2 of Article VIII of the Ohio Constitution pertaining to environmental and related conservation, preservation, and revitalization purposes
    2,132,349 / 57%% Yes votes ...... 43%% No votes
    To adopt Section 20 of Article VIII of the Constitution of the State of Ohio. This proposed amendment would:
    1. Authorize the state to issue bonds and other obligations to pay the costs of projects for environmental conservation and revitalization purposes.
    2. Specify "conservation purposes" as meaning the conservation and preservation of natural areas, open spaces, and farmlands and other lands devoted to agriculture, including by acquiring land or interests therein; the provision of state and local park and recreation facilities, and other actions that permit and enhance the availability, public use, and enjoyment of natural areas and open spaces in Ohio; and land, forest, water and other natural resource management projects.
    3. Specify "revitalization purposes" as meaning providing for and enabling the environmentally safe and productive development and use or reuse of publicly and privately owned lands, including those within urban areas, by the remediation or clean up of contamination; and addressing by clearance, land acquisition or otherwise, contamination or other property conditions or circumstances that might be deleterious to the public health and safety and the environment and water and other natural resources, or that preclude or inhibit environmentally sound or economic use of the property.
    4. Limit the total outstanding principal amount of all state obligations issued for conservation purposes, which shall be general obligations of the state backed by the full faith and credit, revenue, and taxing power of the state, to two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000) and the principal amount of all new obligations issued within a single fiscal year to fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) plus the principal amount of obligations that in any prior fiscal year could have been but were not issued within the fifty million dollar ($50,000,000) fiscal year limit.
    5. Limit the total outstanding principal amount of all state obligations issued for revitalization purposes, which shall not be general obligations of the state and shall not be backed by the full faith and credit, revenue, and taxing power of the state but which would be secured by a pledge of designated state revenues and receipts as the General Assembly authorizes, to two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000) and the principal amount of all new obligations issued within a single fiscal year to fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) plus the principal amount of obligations that in any prior fiscal year could have been but were not issued within the fifty million dollar ($50,000,000) fiscal year limit.
    6. Require that the obligations mature no later than December 31 of the twenty-fifth (25th) calendar year after issuance, except that obligations issued to refund or retire other obligations must mature no later than December 31 of the twenty-fifth (25th) calendar year after the year in which the original obligation to pay was issued or entered into.
    7. Determine and confirm that state and local governmental participation in and financial assistance to environmental and related conservation, preservation and revitalization projects are public purposes, authorize the state to participate or assist in the financing of those projects undertaken by local governmental entities or by others, including not-for-profit organizations, and specify that these activities would not be subject to the lending aid and credit prohibitions of Sections 4 and 6 of Article VIII of the Ohio Constitution. If adopted, this amendment shall take immediate effect. A majority yes vote is necessary for passage.
