Current Legislative Profile
Currently, Representative Troy is focused on advancing several key legislative initiatives. Some of his work includes fighting for a significant increase in the homestead exemption to provide greater property tax relief for our seniors on fixed incomes. Additionally, he is working to establish greater supplemental benefits for senior citizen SNAP recipients to enhance food security for that vulnerable population. He is also the sponsor of an effort to re-create the Student Choice Grant Program, which would offer a tuition subsidy to Ohio students attending non-public Ohio colleges and universities. Furthermore, Rep. Troy is advocating for increased criminal penalties for those who intimidate or threaten election officials in an effort to strengthen the integrity and safety of the electoral process.
