The Ohio State Legislator Compensation Amendment did not make the November 8, 2016, ballot in Ohio as an initiated constitutional amendment.
The measure would have made the annual compensation of members of the general assembly not more than the annual median household income in Ohio and prevented former members of the general assembly from taking lobbying positions within two years of leaving.[1]

Path to the ballot
Petitioners needed to submit 1,000 signatures with the initial petition filing. The Ohio Ballot Board decided to split the measure into three different issues, as it did not meet the single-subject rule. Supporters tried to sue to keep it as a single petition, but the court threw out the case.[2]
