The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services' (ODJFS) rule review process requires all rules to be reviewed at least every five years. The following rules are due for the five year review, but, as the department is in the process of reviewing and restructuring all child care licensing rules, no changes are being made at this time.

The following is a list of the rules that will be filed with no changes made to the current version. The effective dates of these rules will not change.

Rule 5101:2-12-08 "Complaint Investigations for Licensed and Unlicensed Child Care Centers" details the procedures for investigating complaints received by ODJFS on licensed and unlicensed child care programs.

Rule 5101:2-12-40 "Daily Program for Infants in Licensed Child Care Centers" details the required components of an infant's care while in a child care center.

Rule 5101:2-12-41 "Infant Feeding Requirements in Licensed Child Care Centers" sets forth the requirements for feeding infants while in the care of a child care center.
