As part of the five year rule review process, all Children's Trust Fund rules (rules 5101:5-1-01 through 5101:5-1-27) contained in Chapter 5101:5-1 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) were rescinded and replaced by rules 5101:5-1-01 through 5101:5-1-09. The rules have been simplified to reflect a community approach to planning and evaluation for the Children's Trust Fund operations. The following is a brief synopsis of each rule:

Rule 5101:5-1-01 entitled, "Children's trust fund definitions" contains the definitions of terms used in Chapter 5101:5-1 of the OAC.

Rule 5101:5-1-03 entitled "Program priorities, application, reporting and funding requirements"

defines the program priorities of the Children's Trust Fund and limitations to grant funding.

Rule 5101:5-1-05 entitled, "Local advisory board organization and responsibilities" defines the duties and organizational directives for the local advisory boards within counties.

Rule 5101:5-1-07 entitled, "Grant appeal procedures" stipulates the procedures for grantees to use when appealing certain decisions made by the Children's Trust Fund Board.

Rule 5101:5-1-09 entitled, "Termination of grants" contains procedures for the termination and reduction of grants made to local service providers by the Children's Trust Fund Board..

The above mentioned rules will be effective on December 15, 1998.
