A state senator from Cincinnati is introducing a bill that would let taxpayers get their income tax refund on a prepaid debit card.
Sen. Eric Kearney said the state needs to adjust to the marketplace.
“This prepaid debit card program will benefit those citizens that do not have a bank account for direct deposit, or for those who wish to avoid the hassle with paper checks and check cashing fees,” Kearney said in a statement. “They will also be able to use their prepaid debit cards in stores, online, over the phone, or anywhere that accepts debit cards.”
