Ohio鈥檚 state budget has a provision from House Republicans that would require doctors to collect more information about the abortions they perform, and for that information to be showcased in a new, public facing database.

The report took a look at the House-passed budget and its effect on schools in Ohio's Appalachian region.

The budget appropriates $10 million to pilot a 鈥渢ri-share鈥� program, which creates cost-sharing of child care costs between workers, their work and the state government.

Doulas help navigate pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Though the process hasn鈥檛 been without problems, the state has certified dozens of doulas in at least 20 counties.

Federal and state individual income tax returns are due, but as Ohioans close the books on a year鈥檚 worth of earnings, tax researchers and advocates are looking forward.

The requirements call for a dashboard that will give immediate information about abortions being performed in Ohio.

The budget proposed by House Republicans and approved on a mostly party line vote now heads to the Ohio Senate.

The change involved a small tweak to the plan to give property tax relief to people in Ohio school districts that lawmakers think have too much reserve money in their operating budgets.

Ohio school groups are asking lawmakers to cut from the state budget a provision that would require property taxpayers be refunded anything over a 25% reserve in a district鈥檚 operating account.

Faith groups and social safety net advocates are urging majority Republicans in the Ohio legislature to view the two-year budget they鈥檒l introduce Tuesday as a moral document.
