Ohioans will start seeing gas prices drop by almost 40 cents a gallon.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed a state gas sales tax holiday into law Thursday.
Dewine signed a bill from a Miami Valley state lawmaker into law, eliminating the state’s gas tax temporarily.
It will take about 38 cents off a gallon of regular and 47 cents off a gallon of diesel for three months.
Gas tax revenue gets divided up between the state and local governments and can only be used for road and bridge projects.
Dewine was against a similar proposal a state lawmaker floated in the spring because of what that plan would have meant for lost tax revenue.
But the governor changed his tune and signed this plan, which will move $725 million in surplus from the general revenue fund to cover lost tax revenue.
State lawmakers put an emergency clause on this bill, which means a bill becomes law as soon as the governor signs it.
But this plan has a three-day grace period for suppliers and retailers to adjust.
Drivers have to start seeing those savings by Sunday.
