SUBJECT: Amended rule 5101:6-5-01 "Procedures prior to the state hearing"

This letter transmits amended rule 5101:6-5-01, "Procedures prior to the state hearing," effective July 1, 2009.

Rule 5101:6-5-01 was amended to implement provisions of the settlement for Almendares v. Lucas County Department of Job and Family Services, et al., Case No. 3:00CV7524, United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio; to improve processes required to conduct state hearings; and because of the five-year rule review required under section 119.032 of the Revised Code.

The rule sets forth procedures that are to be carried out before the scheduled state hearing. Changes to the rule include adding provisions for the translation of written hearing decisions and having interpreters at hearings, changing the time limit for completion of the appeal summary, and updating address and phone number information.
