The rules contained in this transmittal have been reviewed in accordance with Section 119.03 of the Ohio Revised Code. Pursuant to this Revised Code section, each state agency is required to review its rules a minimum of once every five years. The intent of the law is to ensure that 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 and local agencies will be given flexibility. The purpose of a rule review is to determine whether a rule should be continued without amendment, be amended, or be rescinded, taking into consideration each rule's scope and purpose.

This letter transmits the amended rules 5101:1-1-13, 5101:1-2-20, and 5101:1-23-60, with an effective date of December 1, 2006. If there are any changes made to the rules contained in this CAMTL during the JCARR review period, the corrected rules will be sent out in the next CAMTL. This cover letter includes a brief description of the rules that have been reviewed and a summary statement of the changes. Clearance control number 5813 was assigned when the rules were placed in the clearance process.
