Ohio and New York are both members of the Driver License Compact (DLC). This means the OH courts or BMV will normally inform the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles of your failure to maintain control citation, though this is usually done after you are convicted of the offense.

New York does get notified of out of state moving violations but with a few exceptions does not place these offenses on your driving record or assign them points. The exceptions are alcohol-related violations, drug-related violations, and moving violations committed in Quebec or Ontario.

If you choose not to pay the ticket or comply with the Ohio citation in another legal way then likely your driver's license will be suspended. OH and NYS are also members of a second agreement, the Non-Resident Violator Compact (NRVC).

The NRVC requires member states to suspend the license of a driver who gets a traffic ticket for a moving violation, such as your 15 mph over speeding ticket, in another state but fails to pay or otherwise legally comply with the citation.

The NYS DMV discusses this by stating that your New York State license will be suspended if you fail to answer a ticket for a moving violation in any state except Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon or Wisconsin (states that are not members of the NRVC). Furthermore, your license will remain suspended until you answer the ticket.

So if you do not have money to pay the ticket you may see if Ohio will allow you to pay in installments or have other means to take care of the ticket or likely your license will be suspended in both states until the issue is taken care of in Ohio.
