In accordance with section 106.03 of the Ohio Revised Code
(ORC), each state agency is required to review each of its rules in the Ohio
Administrative Code a minimum of once every five years. The intent of the review is to ensure that
Administrative Code rules are clearly written and that program requirements are
accurate, up-to-date and clearly expressed.
To the extent possible, unnecessary paperwork will be eliminated, local
agencies will be given increased flexibility, and any adverse impact on
businesses will be eliminated or reduced.
As a result of the review, the agency may amend the rule; rescind the
rule; or continue the rule without amendment.
The Office of Family Assistance (OFA) has completed a review of

Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR).
The rule will become effective on 9/5/2019.
