Background

The following rules were reviewed in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code Section 119.032. 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 increased 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 The purpose of a rule review is to determine whether a rule should be continued without amendment, be amended, or be rescinded, taking into consideration each rule's scope and purpose.

Rules reviewed include the following: 5101:4-3-28, 5101:4-3-30, 5101:4-3-33, 5101:4-3-34, 5101:4-3-35, 5101:4-3-36, 5101:4-3-37, 5101:4-3-38, and 5101:4-8-15.

Implementation

These rules are proposed to be effective 10/01/2007. If no revisions are made to the proposed rules prior to the finalization by JCARR, they will become effective on a permanent basis on 10/01/2007. If changes are necessary, a copy of the revised rules will be forwarded to you at that time.
