ODT Posts June PLF Distribution – State Revenues Rebound

The Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) posted the June 2025 Public Library Fund (PLF) distribution of $49,111,030 – which is $3.43 million (or + 7.51%) above ODT’s original estimate that was issued in July 2024; and $4.77 million (or + 10.77%) above ODT’s updated estimate issued in December 2024.

This brings the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 total for the PLF to $504,594,157. Based on the current language in the pending state budget bill, HB 96, the PLF will be reduced to $479.7 million on July 1 for FY 2026 – resulting in almost a $25 million cut in state funding. See below for more information and an update on the state budget.

Overall state tax receipts for the month of June came in $251.1 million (or + 9.8%) above estimates. As the state prepares to close out FY 2025, overall state revenues remain ahead by $1 billion (or + 4%) as compared to this point in FY 2024.
