(C) For the purpose of conducting any hearing, the director may require the attendance of such witnesses and the production of such books, records, and papers as the director desires, and the director may take the depositions of witnesses residing within or without this state in the same manner as is prescribed by law for the taking of depositions in civil actions in the court of common pleas, and for that purpose the director may issue a subpoena for any witness or a subpoena duces tecum to compel the production of any books, records, or papers, directed to the sheriff of the county where such witness resides or is found, which shall be served and returned. The fees and mileage of the sheriff and witnesses shall be the same as that allowed in the court of common pleas in criminal cases. Fees and mileage shall be paid from the unclaimed funds trust fund.

(D) Interest is not payable to claimants of unclaimed funds held by the state. Claims shall be paid from the trust fund. If the amount available in the trust fund is not sufficient to pay pending claims, or other amounts disbursable from the trust fund, the treasurer of state shall certify such fact to the director, who shall then withdraw such amount of funds from the mortgage accounts as the director determines necessary to reestablish the trust fund to a level required to pay anticipated claims but not more than ten per cent of the net unclaimed funds reported to date.

The director shall retain in the trust fund, as a fee for administering the funds, five per cent of the total amount of unclaimed funds payable to the claimant and may withdraw the funds paid to the director by the holders and deposited by the director with the treasurer of state or in a financial institution as agent for such funds. Whenever these funds are inadequate to meet the requirements for the trust fund, the director shall provide for a withdrawal of funds, within a reasonable time, in such amount as is necessary to meet the requirements, from financial institutions in which such funds were retained or placed by a holder and from other holders who have retained funds, in an equitable manner as prescribed by the director. In the event that the amount to be withdrawn from any one such holder is less than five hundred dollars, the amount to be withdrawn shall be at the discretion of the director. Such funds may be reimbursed in the amounts withdrawn when the trust fund has a surplus over the amount required to pay anticipated claims. Whenever the trust fund has a surplus over the amount required to pay anticipated claims, the director may transfer such surplus to the mortgage accounts.

(E) If a claim which is allowed under this section relates to funds which have been retained by the reporting holder, and if the funds, on deposit with the treasurer of state pursuant to this chapter, are insufficient to pay claims, the director may notify such holder in writing of the payment of the claim and such holder shall immediately reimburse the state in the amount of such claim. The reimbursement shall be credited to the unclaimed funds trust fund.

(F) Any person, including the division of child support, adversely affected by a decision of the director may appeal such decision in the manner provided in Chapter 119. of the Revised Code.

Sec. 1349.01. (A) As used in this section:

(1) "Consumer reporting agency" has the same meaning as in the "Fair Credit Reporting Act," 84 Stat. 1128, 15 U.S.C.A. 1681a.

(2) "Court" means the division of the court of common pleas having jurisdiction over actions for divorce, annulment, dissolution of marriage, legal separation, child support, or spousal support.

(3) "Health insurance coverage" means hospital, surgical, or medical expense coverage provided under any health insurance or health care policy, contract, or plan or any other health benefits arrangement.

(4) "Provider" has the same meaning as in section 3901.38 of the Revised Code.

(B) If, pursuant to an action for divorce, annulment, dissolution of marriage, or legal separation, the court determines that a party who is a resident of this state is responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage for the party's former spouse or children or if, pursuant to a child support order issued ~~under~~ in accordance with section 3113.217 of the Revised Code, the court requires a party who is a resident of this state to obtain health insurance coverage for the children who are the subject of the child support order, and the party fails to obtain such coverage, no provider or collection agency shall collect or attempt to collect from the former spouse, children, or person responsible for the children, any reimbursement of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by the provider for services rendered to the former spouse or children, which expenses would have been covered but for the failure of the party to obtain the coverage, if the former spouse, any of the children, or a person responsible for the children, provides the following to the provider or collection agency:

If the requirements of divisions (B)(1) and (2) are met, the provider or collection agency may collect or attempt to collect the expenses only from the party.

A party required to obtain health insurance coverage for a former spouse or children who fails to obtain the coverage is liable to the provider for the hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by the provider as a result of the failure to obtain the coverage. This section does not prohibit a former spouse or person responsible for the children from initiating an action to enforce the order requiring the party to obtain health insurance for the former spouse or children or to collect any amounts the former spouse or person responsible for the children pays for hospital, surgical, or medical expenses for which the party is responsible under the order requiring the party to obtain health insurance for the former spouse or children.

(a) No collection agency or provider of hospital, surgical, or medical services may report to a consumer reporting agency, for inclusion in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of expenses for the services incurred by the provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to obtain health insurance coverage.

(b) No consumer reporting agency shall include in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by a provider as a result of the party's failure to obtain the coverage.

(2) If the requirements of divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this section are not met, both of the following provisions shall apply:

(a) A provider of hospital, surgical, or medical services, or a collection agency, may report to a consumer reporting agency, for inclusion in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of expenses for the services incurred by the provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to obtain such coverage.

(b) A consumer reporting agency may include in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by the provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to obtain such coverage.

(3)(a) A provider of hospital, surgical, or medical services, or a collection agency, may report to a consumer reporting agency, for inclusion in the credit file or credit report of that party, any information relative to the nonpayment of expenses for the services incurred by the provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to obtain such coverage.

(b) A consumer reporting agency may include in the credit file or credit report of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage, any information relative to the nonpayment of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by a provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of that party to obtain health insurance coverage.

(4) If any information described in division (D)(2) of this section is placed in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, the consumer reporting agency shall remove the information from the credit file and credit report if the former spouse or person responsible for the children provides the agency with the information required in divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this section. If the agency fails to remove the information from the credit file or credit report pursuant to the terms of the "Fair Credit Reporting Act," 84 Stat. 1128, 15 U.S.C. 1681a, within a reasonable time after receiving the information required by divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this section, the former spouse may initiate an action to require the agency to remove the information.

If any information described in division (D)(3) of this section is placed in the party's credit file or credit report, the party has the burden of proving that the party is not responsible for obtaining the health insurance coverage or, if responsible, that the expenses incurred are not covered expenses. If the party meets that burden, the agency shall remove the information from the party's credit file and credit report immediately. If the agency fails to remove the information from the credit file or credit report immediately after the party meets the burden, the party may initiate an action to require the agency to remove the information.

(G)(1) Each order for child support made or modified by a juvenile court ~~on or after December 31, 1993,~~ shall include as part of the order a general provision, as described in division (A)(1) of section 3113.21 of the Revised Code, requiring the withholding or deduction of ~~wages~~ income or assets of the obligor under the order as described in division (D) of section 3113.21 of the Revised Code, or another type of appropriate requirement as described in division (D)~~(6)~~(3), (D)~~(7)~~(4), or (H) of that section, to ensure that withholding or deduction from the ~~wages~~ income or assets of the obligor is available from the commencement of the support order for collection of the support and of any arrearages that occur; a statement requiring all parties to the order to notify the child support enforcement agency in writing of their current mailing address, ~~their~~ current residence address, current residence telephone number, and current driver's license number, and any changes ~~in either address~~ to that information; and a notice that the requirement to notify the child support enforcement agency of all changes ~~in either address~~ to that information continues until further notice from the court.

In those circumstances, divisions (B) and (C) of section 2151.26 of the Revised Code do not apply regarding the act, the case charging the person with committing the act shall be a criminal prosecution commenced and heard in the appropriate court having jurisdiction of the offense as if the person had been eighteen years of age or older when the person committed the act, all proceedings pertaining to the act shall be within the jurisdiction of the court having jurisdiction of the offense, and the court having jurisdiction of the offense has all the authority and duties in the case as it has in other criminal cases commenced in that court.

Sec. 2151.231. The parent, guardian, or custodian of a child, the person with whom a child resides, or the child support enforcement agency of the county in which the child, parent, guardian, or custodian of the child resides may bring an action in a juvenile court under this section requesting the court to issue an order requiring a parent of the child to pay an amount for the support of the child without regard to the marital status of the child's parents.

The parties to an action under this section may raise the issue of the existence or nonexistence of a parent-child relationship, unless a final and enforceable determination of the issue has been made with respect to the parties pursuant to Chapter 3111. of the Revised Code or an acknowledgment of paternity signed by the child's parents has become final pursuant to section 2151.232, 3111.211, or 5101.314 Of the Revised Code. If a complaint is filed under this section and an issue concerning the existence or nonexistence of a parent-child relationship is raised, the court shall treat the action as an action pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code. An order issued in an action under this section does not preclude a party to the action from bringing a subsequent action pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code if the issue concerning the existence or nonexistence of the parent-child relationship was not determined with respect to the party pursuant to a proceeding under this section, a proceeding under Chapter 3111. Of the Revised Code, or an acknowledgment of paternity that has become final under section 2151.232, 3111.211, or 5101.314 Of the Revised Code. An order issued pursuant to this section shall remain effective until an order is issued pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code that a parent-child relationship does not exist between the alleged father of the child and the child or until the occurrence of an event described in division (G)(4)(a) of section 3113.21 of the Revised Code that would require the order to terminate.

The court, in accordance with section 3113.217 Of the Revised Code, shall include in each support order made under this section the requirement that one or both of the parents provide for the health care needs of the child to the satisfaction of the court.

Sec. 2151.232. If an acknowledgment has been filed and entered into the birth registry pursuant to section 5101.314 of the Revised Code but has not yet become final, either parent who signed the acknowledgment may bring an action in the juvenile court under this section requesting that the court issue an order requiring a parent of the child to pay an amount for the support of the child in accordance with sections 3113.21 to 3113.219 Of the Revised Code.

The parties to an action under this section may raise the issue of the existence or nonexistence of a parent-child relationship. If an action is commenced pursuant to this section and the issue of the existence or nonexistence of a parent-child relationship is raised, the court shall treat the action as an action commenced pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code. If the issue is raised, the court shall promptly notify the division of child support in the department of human services that it is conducting proceedings in compliance with sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code. On receipt of the notice by the division, the acknowledgment of paternity signed by the parties and filed pursuant to section 5101.314 of the Revised Code shall be considered rescinded.

If the parties do not raise the issue of the existence or nonexistence of a parent-child relationship in the action and an order is issued pursuant to this section prior to the date the acknowledgment filed and entered on the birth registry under section 5101.314 of the Revised Code becomes final, the acknowledgment shall be considered final as of the date of the issuance of the order. An order issued pursuant to this section shall not affect an acknowledgment that becomes final pursuant to section 5101.314 of the Revised Code prior to the issuance of the order.

Sec. 2151.33. (A) Pending hearing of a complaint filed under section 2151.27 of the Revised Code or a motion filed or made under division (B) of this section and the service of citations, the juvenile court may make any temporary disposition of any child that it considers necessary to protect the best interest of the child and that can be made pursuant to division (B) of this section. Upon the certificate of one or more reputable practicing physicians, the court may summarily provide for emergency medical and surgical treatment that appears to be immediately necessary to preserve the health and well-being of any child concerning whom a complaint or an application for care has been filed, pending the service of a citation upon the child's parents, guardian, or custodian. The court may order the parents, guardian, or custodian, if the court finds the parents, guardian, or custodian able to do so, to reimburse the court for the expense involved in providing the emergency medical or surgical treatment. Any person who disobeys the order for reimbursement may be adjudged in contempt of court and punished accordingly.

If the emergency medical or surgical treatment is furnished to a child who is found at the hearing to be a nonresident of the county in which the court is located and if the expense of the medical or surgical treatment cannot be recovered from the parents, legal guardian, or custodian of the child, the board of county commissioners of the county in which the child has a legal settlement shall reimburse the court for the reasonable cost of the emergency medical or surgical treatment out of its general fund.

(B)(1) After a complaint, petition, writ, or other document initiating a case dealing with an alleged or adjudicated abused, neglected, or dependent child is filed and upon the filing or making of a motion pursuant to division (C) of this section, the court, prior to the final disposition of the case, may issue any of the following temporary orders to protect the best interest of the child:

(a) An order granting temporary custody of the child to a particular party;

(b) An order for the taking of the child into custody pursuant to section 2151.31 of the Revised Code pending the outcome of the adjudicatory and dispositional hearings;

(d) An order requiring a party to vacate a residence that will be lawfully occupied by the child;

(e) An order requiring a party to attend an appropriate counseling program that is reasonably available to that party;

(f) Any other order that restrains or otherwise controls the conduct of any party which conduct would not be in the best interest of the child.

(2) Prior to the final disposition of a case subject to division (B)(1) of this section, the court shall do both of the following:

(a) Issue an order pursuant to sections 3113.21 to 3113.219 of the Revised Code requiring the parents, guardian, or person charged with the child's support to pay support for the child.

(b) Issue an order requiring the parents, guardian, or person charged with the child's support to continue to maintain any health insurance coverage for the child that existed at the time of the filing of the complaint, petition, writ, or other document, or to obtain health insurance coverage ~~pursuant to~~ in accordance with section 3113.217 of the Revised Code.

(C)(1) A court may issue an order pursuant to division (B) of this section upon its own motion or if a party files a written motion or makes an oral motion requesting the issuance of the order and stating the reasons for it. Any notice sent by the court as a result of a motion pursuant to this division shall contain a notice that any party to a juvenile proceeding has the right to be represented by counsel and to have appointed counsel if the person is indigent.

(2) If a child is taken into custody pursuant to section 2151.31 of the Revised Code and placed in shelter care, the public children services agency or private child placing agency with which the child is placed in shelter care shall file or make a motion as described in division (C)(1) of this section before the end of the next day immediately after the date on which the child was taken into custody and, at a minimum, shall request an order for temporary custody under division (B)(1)(a) of this section.

(3) Any court that issues an order pursuant to division (B)(1)(b) of this section shall make the determination and issue the written finding of facts required by section 2151.419 of the Revised Code.

(D) The court may grant an ex parte order upon its own motion or a motion filed or made pursuant to division (C) of this section requesting such an order if it appears to the court that the best interest and the welfare of the child require that the court issue the order immediately. The court, if acting on its own motion, or the person requesting the granting of an ex parte order, to the extent possible, shall give notice of its intent or of the request to the parents, guardian, or custodian of the child who is the subject of the request. If the court issues an ex parte order, the court shall hold a hearing to review the order within seventy-two hours after it is issued or before the end of the next day after the day on which it is issued, whichever occurs first. The court shall give written notice of the hearing to all parties to the action and shall appoint a guardian ad litem for the child prior to the hearing.

The written notice shall be given by all means that are reasonably likely to result in the party receiving actual notice and shall include all of the following:

(1) The date, time, and location of the hearing;

(2) The issues to be addressed at the hearing;

The court may align the parties. The child shall be made a party to the action unless a party shows good cause for not doing so. Separate counsel shall be appointed for the child if the court finds that the child's interests conflict with those of the mother.

If the person bringing the action knows that a particular man is not or, based upon the facts and circumstances present, could not be the natural father of the child, the person bringing the action shall not allege in the action that the man is the natural father of the child and shall not make the man a party to the action.

(B) If an action is brought pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code and the child to whom the action pertains is or was being provided support by the department of human services, a county department of human services, or another public agency, the department, county department, or agency may intervene for purposes of collecting or recovering the support.

Sec. 3111.09. (A)(1) In any action instituted under sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code, the court, upon its own motion, may order and, upon the motion of any party to the action, shall order the child's mother, the child, the alleged father, and any other person who is a defendant in the action to submit to genetic tests. ~~If genetic tests are ordered upon the motion of a party or the court, the court shall order that the child's mother, the child, the alleged father, and any other defendant submit to genetic testing.~~ Instead of or in addition to genetic testing ordered pursuant to this section, the court may ~~order the superintendent of the bureau of criminal identification and investigation to disclose information regarding a~~ use the following information to determine the existence of a parent and child relationship between the child and the child's mother, the alleged father, or another defendant:

(a) A DNA record of the child's mother, the child, the alleged father, or any other defendant that is stored in the DNA database pursuant to section 109.573 of the Revised Code ~~and may use that information to determine the existence of a parent and child relationship between the child and the child's mother, the alleged father, or another defendant.~~;

(b) Results of genetic tests conducted on the child, the child's mother, the alleged father, or any other defendant pursuant to former section 3111.21 or section 3111.22 of the Revised Code.

If the court intends to use the information described in division (A)(1)(a) of this section, it shall order the superintendent of the bureau of criminal identification and investigation to disclose the information to the court. If the court intends to use the genetic test results described in division (A)(1)(b) of this section, it shall order the agency that ordered the tests to provide the report of the genetic test results to the court.

(2) If the child support enforcement agency is not made a party to the action, the clerk of the court shall schedule the genetic testing no later than thirty days after the court issues its order. If the agency is made a party to the action, the agency shall schedule the genetic testing in accordance with the rules adopted by the department of human services pursuant to section 2301.35 of the Revised Code. If the alleged father of a child brings an action under sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code and if the mother of the child willfully fails to submit to genetic testing or if the mother is the custodian of the child and willfully fails to submit the child to genetic testing, the court, on the motion of the alleged father, shall issue an order determining the existence of a parent and child relationship between the father and the child without genetic testing. If the mother or other guardian or custodian of the child brings an action under sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code and if the alleged father of the child willfully fails to submit himself to genetic testing or, if the alleged father is the custodian of the child and willfully fails to submit the child to genetic testing, the court shall issue an order determining the existence of a parent and child relationship between the father and the child without genetic testing. If a party shows good cause for failing to submit to genetic testing or for failing to submit the child to genetic testing, the court shall not consider the failure to be willful.

(3) Except as provided in division (A)(4) of this section, any fees charged for the tests shall be paid by the party that requests them, unless the custodian of the child is represented by the child support enforcement agency in its role as the agency providing enforcement of child support orders under Title IV-D of the "Social Security Act," 88 Stat. 2351 (1975), 42 U.S.C. 651, as amended, the custodian is a participant in Ohio works first under Chapter 5107. of the Revised Code for the benefit of the child, or the defendant in the action is found to be indigent, in which case the child support enforcement agency shall pay the costs of genetic testing. The child support enforcement agency, within guidelines contained in that federal law, shall use funds received pursuant to Title IV-D of the "Social Security Act," 88 Stat. 2351 (1975), 42 U.S.C. 651, as amended, to pay the fees charged for the tests. If

Except as provided in division (A)(4) of this section, if there is a dispute as to who shall pay the fees charged for genetic testing, the child support enforcement agency shall pay the fees, but neither the court nor the agency shall delay genetic testing due to a dispute as to who shall pay the genetic testing fees. The child support enforcement agency or the person who paid the fees charged for the genetic testing may seek reimbursement for the genetic testing fees from the person against whom the court assesses the costs of the action. Any funds used in accordance with this division by the child support enforcement agency shall be in addition to any other funds that the agency is entitled to receive as a result of any contractual provision for specific funding allocations for the agency between the county, the state, and the federal government.

(4) If, pursuant to former section 3111.21 or section 3111.22 of the Revised Code, the agency has previously conducted genetic tests on the child, child's mother, alleged father, or any other defendant and the current action pursuant to section 3111.01 to 3111.19 of the Revised Code has been brought to object to the result of those previous tests, the agency shall not be required to pay the fees for conducting genetic tests pursuant to this section on the same persons.

(B)(1) The genetic tests shall be made by qualified examiners who are authorized by the court or the department of human services. An examiner conducting a genetic test, upon the completion of the test, shall send a complete report of the test results to the clerk of the court that ordered the test or, if the agency is a party to the action, to the child support enforcement agency of the county in which the court that ordered the test is located.

(2) If a court orders the superintendent of the bureau of criminal identification and investigation to disclose information regarding a DNA record stored in the DNA database pursuant to section 109.573 of the Revised Code, the superintendent shall send the information to the clerk of the court that issued the order or, if the agency is a party to the action, to the child support enforcement agency of the county in which the court that issued the order is located.

(3) If a court orders the child support enforcement agency to provide the report of the genetic test results obtained pursuant to former section 3111.21 or section 3111.22 Of the Revised Code, the agency shall send the information to the person or government entity designated by the court that issued the order.

(4) The clerk or, agency, or person or government entity under division (B)(3) of this section that receives a report or information pursuant to division (B)(1), (2), or (3) of this section shall mail a copy of the report or information to the attorney of record for each party or, if a party is not represented by an attorney, to the party. The clerk or, agency, or person or government entity under division (B)(3) of this section that receives a copy of the report or information shall include with the report or information sent to an attorney of record of a party or a party a notice that the party may object to the admission into evidence of the report or information by filing a written objection as described in division (D) of section 3111.12 of the Revised Code with the court that ordered the tests or ordered the disclosure of the information no later than fourteen days after the report or information was mailed to the attorney of record or to the party. The examiners may be called as witnesses to testify as to their findings. Any party may demand that other qualified examiners perform independent genetic tests under order of the court. The number and qualifications of the independent examiners shall be determined by the court.

(C) Nothing in this section prevents any party to the action from producing other expert evidence on the issue covered by this section, but, if other expert witnesses are called by a party to the action, the fees of these expert witnesses shall be paid by the party calling the witnesses and only ordinary witness fees for these expert witnesses shall be taxed as costs in the action.

(D) If the court finds that the conclusions of all the examiners are that the alleged father is not the father of the child, the court shall enter judgment that the alleged father is not the father of the child. If the examiners disagree in their findings or conclusions, the court ~~or jury~~ shall determine the father of the child based upon all the evidence.

If the location of the obligor is unknown at the time of the identification of a default under the support order, the ~~agency~~ division shall send the advance notice to the obligor within fifteen days after the agency locates the obligor. The general provision for the withholding or deduction of ~~wages~~ income or assets to be included in the reissued support order specifically shall include the following statement:

If the obligor requests a court hearing, no later than five days before the date on which the court hearing is to be held, the court shall send the obligor and the obligee written notice by ordinary mail of the date, time, place, and purpose of the court hearing. The hearing shall be limited to a determination of whether there is a mistake of fact in the advance notice or the corrected advance notice.

The court or agency shall send to the obligor by ordinary mail a copy of the withholding or deduction notice, in accordance with division (D) of this section. The failure of the court or agency to give the notice required by this division does not affect the ability of any court to issue any notice or order under this section or any other section of the Revised Code for the payment of support, does not provide any defense to any notice or order for the payment of support that is issued under this section or any other section of the Revised Code, and does not affect any obligation to pay support.

(6) The department of human services shall adopt standard forms for the advance notice prescribed by divisions (B)(1) to (5) of this section.

(c)(i) If a child support enforcement agency, in accordance with section 3113.216 of the Revised Code, requests the court to issue a revised child support order in accordance with a revised amount of child support calculated by the agency, the court shall proceed as described in this division. If neither the obligor nor the obligee requests a court hearing on the revised amount of child support, the court shall issue a revised child support order requiring the obligor to pay the revised amount of child support calculated by the agency. However, if the obligor or the obligee requests a court hearing on the revised amount of child support calculated by the agency, the court, in accordance with division (C)(1)(c)(ii) of this section, shall schedule and conduct a hearing to determine if the revised amount of child support is the appropriate amount and if the amount of child support being paid under the child support order otherwise should be revised.

(ii) If the court is required to schedule and conduct a hearing pursuant to division (C)(1)(c)(i) of this section, the court shall give the obligor, obligee, and agency at least thirty days' notice of the date, time, and location of the hearing; order the obligor to provide the court with a copy of the obligor's federal income tax return from the previous year, a copy of all pay stubs obtained by the obligor within the preceding six months, ~~and~~ a copy of all other records evidencing the receipt of any other salary, wages, or compensation by the obligor within the preceding six months, a list of the group health insurance and health care policies, contracts, and plans available to the obligor and their costs, and the current health insurance or health care policy, contract, or plan under which the obligor is enrolled and its cost, if the obligor failed to provide any of those documents to the agency, and order the obligee to provide the court with a copy of the obligee's federal income tax return from the previous year, a copy of all pay stubs obtained by the obligee within the preceding six months, ~~and~~ a copy of all other records evidencing the receipt of any other salary, wages, or compensation by the obligee within the preceding six months, a list of the group health insurance and health care policies, contracts, and plans available to the obligee and their costs, and the current health insurance or health care policy, contract, or plan under which the obligee is enrolled and its cost, if the obligee failed to provide any of those documents to the agency; give the obligor and the obligee notice that any willful failure to comply with that court order is contempt of court and, upon a finding by the court that the party is in contempt of court, the court and the agency will take any action necessary to obtain the information or make any reasonable assumptions necessary with respect to the ~~income of~~ information the person in contempt of court did not provide to ensure a fair and equitable review of the child support order; issue a revised child support order requiring the obligor to pay the revised amount of child support calculated by the agency, if the court determines at the hearing that the revised amount of child support calculated by the agency is the appropriate amount; and determine the appropriate amount of child support and, if necessary, issue a revised child support order requiring the obligor to pay the amount of child support determined by the court, if the court determines that the revised amount of child support calculated by the agency is not the appropriate amount.

(iii) In determining, at a hearing conducted under divisions (C)(1)(c)(i) and (ii) of this section, the appropriate amount of child support to be paid by the obligor, the court shall consider, in addition to all other factors required by law to be considered, the appropriate person, whether it is the obligor, obligee, or both, to be required in accordance with section 3113.217 Of the Revised Code to provide health insurance coverage for the children specified in the order, and the cost of health insurance which the obligor, the obligee, or both ~~the obligor and the obligee~~ have been ordered in accordance with section 3113.217 Of the Revised Code to obtain for the children specified in the order.

(d) ~~On or after July 1, 1990, the court shall issue any order required by section 3113.217 of the Revised Code.~~

~~(e)~~(i) ~~On or after July 1, 1990, an~~ An obligee under a child support order may file a motion with the court that issued the order requesting the court to modify the order to require the obligor to obtain health insurance coverage for the children who are the subject of the order, and ~~on or after July 1, 1990,~~ an obligor under a child support order may file a motion with the court that issued the order requesting the court to modify the order to require the obligee to obtain health insurance coverage for those children. Upon the filing of such a motion, the court shall order the child support enforcement agency to conduct an investigation to determine whether the obligor or obligee has satisfactory health insurance coverage for the children. Upon completion of its investigation, the agency shall inform the court, in writing, of its determination. If the court determines that neither the obligor nor the obligee has satisfactory health insurance coverage for the children, it shall ~~issue an order~~ modify the child support order in accordance with section 3113.217 of the Revised Code.

(ii) ~~On or after July 1, 1990, an~~ An obligor or obligee under a child support order may file a motion with the court that issued the order requesting the court to modify the amount of child support required to be paid under the order because that amount does not adequately cover the medical needs of the child. Upon the filing of such a motion, the court shall determine whether the amount of child support required to be paid under the order adequately covers the medical needs of the child and whether to modify the order, in accordance with division (B)(4) of section 3113.215 of the Revised Code.

~~(f)~~(e) Whenever a court modifies, reviews, or otherwise reconsiders a child support order, it may reconsider which parent may claim the children who are the subject of the child support order as dependents for federal income tax purposes as set forth in section 151 of the "Internal Revenue Code of 1986," 100 Stat. 2085, 26 U.S.C. 1, as amended, and shall issue its determination on this issue as part of the child support order. The court in its order may permit the parent who is not the residential parent and legal custodian to claim the children as dependents for federal income tax purposes only if the payments for child support are current in full as ordered by the court for the year in which the children will be claimed as dependents. If the court determines that the parent who is not the residential parent and legal custodian may claim the children as dependents for federal income tax purposes, it shall order the residential parent to take whatever action is necessary pursuant to section 152 of the "Internal Revenue Code of 1986," 100 Stat. 2085, 26 U.S.C. 1, as amended, to enable the parent who is not the residential parent and legal custodian to claim the children as dependents for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the order of the court. Any willful failure of the residential parent to comply with the order of the court is contempt of court.

~~(g) If the order is a child support order issued on or after July 1, 1990, or if the order modifies, on or after July 1, 1990, a prior child support order~~ (f) When issuing or modifying a child support order, the court shall include in the order all of the requirements, specifications, and statements described in division (B) of section 3113.218 of the Revised Code. If the obligor or obligee does not request a court hearing on the revised amount of child support determined by the agency and filed with the court pursuant to section 3113.216 of the Revised Code and the court modifies the order to include the revised amount pursuant to division (C)(1)(c)(i) of this section, the modification shall relate back to the first day of the month following the date certain on which the review of the child support order began pursuant to division (C)(1)(a) of section 3113.216 of the Revised Code. If the obligor or obligee requests a court hearing on the revised amount of child support pursuant to this section and section 3113.216 of the Revised Code and the court, after conducting a hearing, modifies the child support amount under the order, the modification shall relate back to THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH FOLLOWING THE DATE CERTAIN ON WHICH THE REVIEW OF THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER BEGAN PURSUANT TO DIVISION (C)(1)(a) OF SECTION 3113.216 OF THE REVISED CODE.

(2) In any action in which a support order is issued~~, on or after December 1, 1986,~~ under Chapter 3115. or under section 2151.23, 2151.231, 2151.232, 2151.33, 2151.36, 2151.49, 3105.18, 3105.21, 3109.05, 3109.19, 3111.13, 3113.04, 3113.07, 3113.216, or 3113.31 of the Revised Code, the court issuing the order also shall conduct a hearing, prior to or at the time of the issuance of the support order, to determine the employment status of the obligor, the obligor's social security number, the name and business address of the obligor's employer, and any other information necessary to enable the court or a child support enforcement agency to issue any withholding or deduction notice described in division (D) of this section or for the court to issue a court order described in division (D)~~(6)~~(3) or ~~(7)~~(4) of this section.

(b) Imputed income from any nonincome-producing assets of a parent, as determined from the local passbook savings rate or another appropriate rate as determined by the court or agency, not to exceed the rate of interest specified in division (A) of section 1343.03 of the Revised Code, if the income is significant.

In performing its duties under this section, the court or agency is not required to accept any calculations in a worksheet prepared by any party to the action or proceeding. In any action or proceeding in which the court determines the amount of child support that will be ordered to be paid pursuant to a child support order or when a child support enforcement agency determines the amount of child support that will be paid pursuant to an administrative child support order issued pursuant to sections 3111.20, ~~3111.21~~ 3111.211, and 3111.22 of the Revised Code, the amount of child support that would be payable under a child support order, as calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule in division (D) of this section and pursuant to the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, is rebuttably presumed to be the correct amount of child support due, and the court or agency shall order that amount to be paid as child support unless both of the following apply with respect to an order issued by a court:

(a) The court, after considering the factors and criteria set forth in division (B)(3) of this section, determines that the amount calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule and pursuant to the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child.

(b) The court enters in the journal the amount of child support calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule and pursuant to the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, its determination that that amount would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child, and findings of fact supporting that determination.

(2) In determining the amount of child support to be paid under any child support order, the court, upon its own recommendation or upon the recommendation of the child support enforcement agency, shall or the child support enforcement agency, pursuant to sections 3111.20, ~~3111.21~~ 3111.211, and 3111.22 of the Revised Code, shall do all of the following:

(a) If the combined gross income of both parents is less than six thousand six hundred dollars per year, the court or agency shall determine the amount of the obligor's child support obligation on a case-by-case basis using the schedule as a guideline. The court or agency shall review the obligor's gross income and living expenses to determine the maximum amount of child support that it reasonably can order without denying the obligor the means for self-support at a minimum subsistence level and shall order a specific amount of child support, unless the obligor proves to the court or agency that the obligor is totally unable to pay child support and the court or agency determines that it would be unjust or inappropriate to order the payment of child support and enters its determination and supporting findings of fact in the journal.

(b) If the combined gross income of both parents is greater than one hundred fifty thousand dollars per year, the court or agency shall determine the amount of the obligor's child support obligation on a case-by-case basis and shall consider the needs and the standard of living of the children who are the subject of the child support order and of the parents. When the court or agency determines the amount of the obligor's child support obligation for parents with a combined gross income greater than one hundred fifty thousand dollars, the court or agency shall compute a basic combined child support obligation that is no less than the same percentage of the parents' combined annual income that would have been computed under the basic child support schedule and under the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, for a combined gross income of one hundred fifty thousand dollars, unless the court or agency determines that it would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child, obligor, or obligee to order that amount and enters in the journal the figure, determination, and findings.

(c) The court shall not order an amount of child support that deviates from the amount of child support that would otherwise result from the use of the basic child support schedule and the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, unless both of the following apply:

(i) The court, after considering the factors and criteria set forth in division (B)(3) of this section, determines that the amount calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule and pursuant to the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child;

(ii) The court enters in the journal the amount of child support calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule and pursuant to the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, its determination that that amount would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child, and findings of fact supporting that determination.

(3) The court, in accordance with divisions (B)(1) and (2)(c) of this section, may deviate from the amount of support that otherwise would result from the use of the schedule and the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, in cases in which the application of the schedule and the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child. In determining whether that amount would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child, the court may consider any of the following factors and criteria:

(a) Special and unusual needs of the children;

(b) Extraordinary obligations for minor children or obligations for handicapped children who are not stepchildren and who are not offspring from the marriage or relationship that is the basis of the immediate child support determination;

(d) Extended times of visitation or extraordinary costs associated with visitation, provided that this division does not authorize and shall not be construed as authorizing any deviation from the schedule and the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, or any escrowing, impoundment, or withholding of child support because of a denial of or interference with a right of companionship or visitation granted by court order;

(e) The obligor obtains additional employment after a child support order is issued in order to support a second family;

(f) The financial resources and the earning ability of the child;

(g) Disparity in income between parties or households;

(h) Benefits that either parent receives from remarriage or sharing living expenses with another person;

(i) The amount of federal, state, and local taxes actually paid or estimated to be paid by a parent or both of the parents;

(j) Significant in-kind contributions from a parent, including, but not limited to, direct payment for lessons, sports equipment, schooling, or clothing;

(k) The relative financial resources, other assets and resources, and needs of each parent;

(l) The standard of living and circumstances of each parent and the standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the marriage continued or had the parents been married;

(m) The physical and emotional condition and needs of the child;

(n) The need and capacity of the child for an education and the educational opportunities that would have been available to the child had the circumstances requiring a court order for support not arisen;

(o) The responsibility of each parent for the support of others;

(p) Any other relevant factor.

The court may accept an agreement of the parents that assigns a monetary value to any of the factors and criteria listed in division (B)(3) of this section that are applicable to their situation.

(4) If an obligor or obligee under a child support order requests the court to modify the amount of support required to be paid pursuant to the child support order, the court shall recalculate the amount of support that would be required to be paid under the support order in accordance with the schedule and pursuant to the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, and if that amount as recalculated is more than ten per cent greater than or more than ten per cent less than the amount of child support that is required to be paid pursuant to the existing child support order, the deviation from the recalculated amount that would be required to be paid under the schedule and the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, shall be considered by the court as a change of circumstance that is substantial enough to require a modification of the amount of the child support order. In determining pursuant to this division the recalculated amount of support that would be required to be paid under the support order for purposes of determining whether that recalculated amount is more than ten per cent greater than or more than ten per cent less than the amount of child support that is required to be paid pursuant to the existing child support order, the court shall consider, in addition to all other factors required by law to be considered, the cost of health insurance which the obligor, the obligee, or both the obligor and the obligee have been ordered to obtain for the children specified in the order. Additionally, if an obligor or obligee under a child support order requests the court to modify the amount of support required to be paid pursuant to the child support order and if the court determines that the amount of support does not adequately meet the medical needs of the child, the inadequate coverage shall be considered by the court as a change of circumstance that is substantial enough to require a modification of the amount of the child support order. If the court determines that the amount of child support required to be paid under the child support order should be changed due to a substantial change of circumstances that was not contemplated at the time of the issuance of the original child support order or the last modification of the child support order, the court shall modify the amount of child support required to be paid under the child support order to comply with the schedule and the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, unless the court determines that the amount calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule and pursuant to the applicable worksheet in division (E) of this section, through line 24, or in division (F) of this section, through line 23, would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child and enters in the journal the figure, determination, and findings specified in division (B)(2)(c) of this section.

(5) When a court computes the amount of child support required to be paid under a child support order or a child support enforcement agency computes the amount of child support to be paid pursuant to an administrative child support order issued pursuant to section 3111.20, ~~3111.21~~ 3111.211, or 3111.22 of the Revised Code, all of the following apply:

(a) The parents shall verify current and past income and personal earnings with suitable documents, including, but not limited to, paystubs, employer statements, receipts and expense vouchers related to self-generated income, tax returns, and all supporting documentation and schedules for the tax returns.

(b) The amount of any pre-existing child support obligation of a parent under a child support order and the amount of any court-ordered spousal support paid to a former spouse shall be deducted from the gross income of that parent to the extent that payment under the child support order or that payment of the court-ordered spousal support is verified by supporting documentation.

(c) If other minor children who were born to the parent and a person other than the other parent who is involved in the immediate child support determination live with the parent, the court or agency shall deduct an amount from that parent's gross income that equals the number of such minor children times the federal income tax exemption for such children less child support received for them for the year, not exceeding the federal income tax exemption.

(d) When the court or agency calculates the gross income of a parent, it shall include the lesser of the following as income from overtime and bonuses:

(i) The yearly average of all overtime and bonuses received during the three years immediately prior to the time when the person's child support obligation is being computed;

(ii) The total overtime and bonuses received during the year immediately prior to the time when the person's child support obligation is being computed.

(e) When the court or agency calculates the gross income of a parent, it shall not include any income earned by the spouse of that parent.

(f) The court shall not order an amount of child support for reasonable and ordinary uninsured medical or dental expenses in addition to the amount of the child support obligation determined in accordance with the schedule. The court shall issue a separate order for extraordinary medical or dental expenses, including, but not limited to, orthodontia, psychological, appropriate private education, and other expenses, and may consider the expenses in adjusting a child support order.

(g) When a court or agency calculates the amount of child support to be paid pursuant to a child support order or an administrative child support order, if the combined gross income of both parents is an amount that is between two amounts set forth in the first column of the schedule, the court or agency may use the basic child support obligation that corresponds to the higher of the two amounts in the first column of the schedule, use the basic child support obligation that corresponds to the lower of the two amounts in the first column of the schedule, or calculate a basic child support obligation that is between those two amounts and corresponds proportionally to the parents' actual combined gross income.

(h) When the court or agency calculates gross income, the court or agency, when appropriate, may average income over a reasonable period of years.

(6)(a) If the court issues a shared parenting order in accordance with section 3109.04 of the Revised Code, the court shall order an amount of child support to be paid under the child support order that is calculated in accordance with the schedule and with the worksheet set forth in division (E) of this section, through line 24, except that, if the application of the schedule and the worksheet, through line 24, would be unjust or inappropriate to the children or either parent and would not be in the best interest of the child because of the extraordinary circumstances of the parents or because of any other factors or criteria set forth in division (B)(3) of this section, the court may deviate from the amount of child support that would be ordered in accordance with the schedule and worksheet, through line 24, shall consider those extraordinary circumstances and other factors or criteria if it deviates from that amount, and shall enter in the journal the amount of child support calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule and pursuant to the applicable worksheet, through line 24, its determination that that amount would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child, and findings of fact supporting that determination.

(b) For the purposes of this division, "extraordinary circumstances of the parents" includes, but is not limited to, all of the following:

(i) The amount of time that the children spend with each parent;

(ii) The ability of each parent to maintain adequate housing for the children;

(iii) Each parent's expenses, including, but not limited to, child care expenses, school tuition, medical expenses, and dental expenses.

(7)(a) In any action in which a child support order is issued or modified under Chapter 3115. or section 2151.23, 2151.231, 2151.232, 2151.33, 2151.36, 2151.49, 3105.18, 3105.21, 3109.05, 3109.19, 3111.13, 3113.04, or 3113.31 of the Revised Code or in any other proceeding in which the court determines the amount of child support that will be ordered to be paid pursuant to a child support order and except as otherwise provided in this division, the court shall issue a minimum support order requiring the obligor to pay a minimum amount of fifty dollars a month for child support under the child support order. The court, in its discretion and in appropriate circumstances, may issue a minimum support order requiring the obligor to pay an amount of child support that is less than fifty dollars a month or not requiring the obligor to pay an amount for support. The appropriate circumstances for which a court may issue a minimum support order requiring an obligor to pay an amount of child support that is less than fifty dollars a month or not requiring the obligor to pay an amount for support include, but are not limited to, the nonresidential parent's medically verified or documented physical or mental disability or institutionalization in a facility for persons with a mental illness. If the court issues a minimum support order pursuant to this division and the obligor under the support order is the recipient of need-based public assistance, any unpaid amounts of support due under the support order shall accrue as arrearages from month to month, the obligor's current obligation to pay the support due under the support order is suspended during any period of time that the obligor is receiving need-based public assistance and is complying with any seek work orders issued pursuant to division (D)~~(7)~~(4) of section 3113.21 of the Revised Code, and the court, obligee, and child support enforcement agency shall not enforce the obligation of the obligor to pay the amount of support due under the support order during any period of time that the obligor is receiving need-based public assistance and is complying with any seek work orders issued pursuant to division (D)~~(7)~~(4) of section 3113.21 of the Revised Code.

(b) Notwithstanding division (B)(7)(a) of this section, if the amount of support payments that federal law requires or permits to be disregarded in determining eligibility for aid under Chapter 5107. of the Revised Code exceeds fifty dollars, instead of fifty dollars the amount of a minimum support order described in division (B)(7)(a) of this section shall be the amount federal law requires or permits to be disregarded.

(C) Except when the parents have split parental rights and responsibilities, a parent's child support obligation for a child for whom the parent is the residential parent and legal custodian shall be presumed to be spent on that child and shall not become part of a child support order, and a parent's child support obligation for a child for whom the parent is not the residential parent and legal custodian shall become part of a child support order. If the parents have split parental rights and responsibilities, the child support obligations of the parents shall be offset, and the court shall issue a child support order requiring the parent with the larger child support obligation to pay the net amount pursuant to the child support order. If neither parent of a child who is the subject of a child support order is the residential parent and legal custodian of the child and the child resides with a third party who is the legal custodian of the child, the court shall issue a child support order requiring each parent to pay that parent's child support obligation pursuant to the child support order.

Whenever a court issues a child support order, it shall include in the order specific provisions for regular, holiday, vacation, and special visitation in accordance with section 3109.05, 3109.11, or 3109.12 of the Revised Code or in accordance with any other applicable section of the Revised Code. The court shall not authorize or permit the escrowing, impoundment, or withholding of any child support payment because of a denial of or interference with a right of visitation included as a specific provision of the child support order or as a method of enforcing the specific provisions of the child support order dealing with visitation.

(D) The following basic child support schedule shall be used by all courts and child support enforcement agencies when calculating the amount of child support that will be paid pursuant to a child support order or an administrative child support order, unless the combined gross income of the parents is less than sixty-six hundred dollars or more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars:

A registered order issued in another state that is confirmed pursuant to section 3115.43 or 3115.44 Of the Revised Code is enforceable in the same manner and is subject to the same procedures as an order issued by a tribunal of this state. Except as provided in sections 3115.39 to 3115.51 Of the Revised Code, a tribunal of this state shall recognize and enforce, but may not modify, a registered order that has been confirmed if the issuing tribunal had jurisdiction.

Sec. 3115.41. The law of the issuing state governs the nature, extent, amount, and duration of current payments and other obligations of support and the payment of arrearages under the order. In a proceeding for arrearages, the statute of limitation under the laws of this state or of the issuing state, whichever is longer, applies.

Sec. 3115.42. (A) When a support order or income withholding order issued in another state is registered, immediately on registration the registering tribunal shall send notice to the nonregistering party of the registration. The notice must be accompanied by a copy of the registered order and the documents and relevant information described in division (A) of section 3115.39 Of the Revised Code.

(B) The notice must inform the nonregistering party of all of the following:

(2) That a hearing to contest the validity or enforcement of the registered order must be requested pursuant to section 3115.43 Of the Revised Code no later than twenty days after the date of mailing or personal service of the notice;

(3) That failure to contest the validity or enforcement of the registered order in a timely manner will result in confirmation of the order and enforcement of the order and the alleged arrearages and precludes further contest of that order with respect to any matter that could have been asserted;

(C) On registration of an income withholding order for enforcement, the registering tribunal shall issue a withholding notice to the obligor's employer pursuant to sections 3113.21 to 3113.219 Of the Revised Code.

Sec. 3115.43. (A) A nonregistering party seeking to contest the validity or enforcement of a registered order in this state shall request a hearing no later than twenty days after the date of mailing or personal service of the notice of the registration by filing a motion with the registering tribunal.

(C) If a nonregistering party makes a request pursuant to division (A) of this section in a timely manner, the registering tribunal shall schedule the matter for hearing and give notice to the parties of the date, time, and place of the hearing.

Sec. 3115.44. (A) A party contesting the validity or enforcement of a registered order or seeking to vacate the registration has the burden of proving one or more of the following defenses:

(1) The issuing tribunal lacked personal jurisdiction over the contesting party;

(2) The order was obtained by fraud;

(3) The order has been vacated, suspended, or modified by a later order;

(4) The issuing tribunal has stayed the order pending appeal;

(5) There is a defense under the law of this state to the remedy sought;

(6) Full or partial payment has been made;

(7) The applicable statute of limitation under section 3115.41 Of the Revised Code precludes enforcement of some or all of the arrearages.

(B) If a party presents evidence establishing a full or partial defense under division (A) of this section, a tribunal may stay enforcement of the registered order, continue the proceeding to permit production of additional relevant evidence, and issue other appropriate orders. An uncontested portion of the registered order may be enforced by all remedies available under the law of this state.

(C) If the contesting party does not establish a defense under division (A) of this section to the validity or enforcement of the order, the registering tribunal shall issue an order confirming the order.

Sec. 3115.45. Confirmation of a registered order, whether by operation of law under section 3115.43 Of the Revised Code or after notice and hearing pursuant to section 3115.44 Of the Revised Code, precludes further contest of the order with respect to any matter that could have been asserted at the time of registration.

Sec. 3115.46. A party or support enforcement agency seeking to modify, or to modify and enforce, a child support order issued in another state shall register that order in this state pursuant to section 3115.39 Of the Revised Code.

Sec. 3115.47. A tribunal of this state may enforce a child support order of another state registered for purposes of modification, in the same manner as if the order had been issued by a tribunal of this state, but the registered order may be modified only if the requirements of section 3115.48 Of the Revised Code have been met.

Sec. 3115.48. (A) After a child support order issued in another state has been registered in this state, the responding tribunal of this state may modify that order only if section 3115.50 Of the Revised Code does not apply and after notice and hearing it finds either of the following applicable:

(1) The child, the individual obligee, and the obligor subject to the support order do not reside in the issuing state, a petitioner who is a nonresident of this state seeks modification, and the respondent is subject to the personal jurisdiction of the tribunal of this state.

(2) The child, or a party who is an individual, is subject to the personal jurisdiction of the tribunal of this State and all of the parties who are individuals have filed written consents in the issuing tribunal for a tribunal of this State to modify the support order and assume continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the order. However, if the issuing state is a foreign jurisdiction that has not enacted a law or established procedures substantially similar to the procedures under sections 3115.01 to 3115.59 Of the Revised Code, the consent otherwise required of an individual residing in this State is not required for the tribunal to assume jurisdiction to modify the child support order.

(B) Modification of a registered child support order is subject to the same requirements, procedures, and defenses that apply to the modification of an order issued by a tribunal of this state and the order may be enforced and satisfied in the same manner.

(C) A tribunal of this state may not modify any aspect of a child support order that may not be modified under the law of the issuing state. If two or more tribunals have issued child support orders for the same obligor and child, the order that must be recognized as controlling under section 3115.09 Of the Revised Code establishes the aspects of the child support order that are nonmodifiable.

(D) On issuance of an order modifying a child support order issued in another state, a tribunal of this state becomes the tribunal having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.

Sec. 3115.49. A tribunal of this state shall recognize a modification of its earlier child support order by a tribunal of another state that assumed jurisdiction pursuant to a law adopted by the other state that is substantially similar to sections 3115.01 to 3115.59 Of the Revised Code and, upon request, except as otherwise provided in sections 3115.01 to 3115.59 Of the Revised Code, shall do all of the following:

(A) Enforce collection of support amounts accruing before the modification of the order;

(B) Enforce only nonmodifiable aspects of that order;

(C) Provide other appropriate relief only for violations of that order that occurred before the effective date of the modification;

(D) Recognize the modifying order of the other state, upon registration, for the purpose of enforcement.

Sec. 3115.50. If all of the parties who are individuals reside in this state and the child does not reside in the issuing state, a tribunal of this state has jurisdiction to enforce and to modify the issuing state's child support order in a proceeding to register that order. Sections 3115.01 to 3115.11 and 3115.39 to 3115.51 Of the Revised Code and the procedural and substantive laws of this state are applicable, and sections 3115.12 to 3115.38, 3115.52 to 3115.54, 3115.58, and 3115.59 Of the Revised Code are not applicable, to a proceeding conducted by a tribunal of this state exercising jurisdiction under this section.

Sec. 3115.51. No later than thirty days after issuance of a modified child support order, the party obtaining the modification shall file a certified copy of the order with the issuing tribunal that had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the earlier order, and in each tribunal in which the party knows the earlier order has been registered. A party who obtains the order and fails to file a certified copy is subject to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in which the issue of failure to file arises. The failure to file does not affect the validity or enforceability of the modified order of the new tribunal having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.

Sec. 3115.52.

All notices or information required to be sent under this chapter to or furnished by the applicant's employer shall be sent to or furnished by the director of administrative services.

(B)(1) When an unemployed individual files an application for determination of benefit rights, the administrator shall furnish the individual with the information specified in division (A) of section 4141.321 of the Revised Code and with a pamphlet giving instructions for the steps an applicant may take if the applicant's claim for benefits is disallowed. The pamphlet shall state the applicant's right of appeal, clearly describe the different levels of appeal, and explain where and when each appeal must be filed. In filing an application, the individual shall, for the individual's most recent employment, furnish the administrator with either:

(a) The information furnished by the employer as provided for in division (B)(2) of this section;

(b) The name and address of the employer for whom the individual performed services and the individual's written statement of the reason for separation from the employer.

Where the claimant has furnished information in accordance with division (B)(1)(b) of this section, the administrator shall promptly send a notice in writing that such filing has been made to the individual's most recent employer, which notice shall request from the employer the reason for the individual's unemployment. The notice shall inform such employer of the employer's right, upon request, to be present at a fact-finding interview conducted prior to the making of any determination under that division. Upon receipt of any request, the claimant and the employer making the request shall have at least three days' prior notice of the time and place of the fact-finding interview.

This paragraph shall not be construed to relieve an employer who operates multiple business establishments from complying with division (B)(2) of this section where the employer separates fifty or more individuals at any business establishment within a seven-day period.

An employer of individuals engaged in connection with the commercial canning or commercial freezing of fruits and vegetables is exempt from the provision of division (B)(2) of this section that requires an employer to furnish notice of separation at least three working days prior to the date of the first day of such separations.

The administrator shall promptly notify all interested parties under division (D)(1) of this section of the determination.

(4) Where an employer has furnished separation information under division (B)(2) of this section which is insufficient to enable the administrator to make a determination of a claim for benefits of an individual, or where the individual fails at the time of filing an application for determination of benefit rights to produce the separation information furnished by an employer, the administrator shall follow the provisions specified in division (B)(1) of this section.

(C) The administrator or the administrator's deputy shall promptly examine any application for determination of benefit rights filed, and on the basis of any facts found by the administrator or deputy shall determine whether or not the application is valid, and if valid, the date on which the benefit year shall commence and the weekly benefit amount.

(D)(1) The administrator or the administrator's deputy shall examine the first claim for benefits filed in any benefit year, and any additional claim, and on the basis of any facts found by the administrator or deputy shall determine whether division (D) of section 4141.29 of the Revised Code is applicable to the claimant's most recent separation and, to the extent necessary, prior separations from work, and whether the separation reason is qualifying or disqualifying for the ensuing period of unemployment. Notice of such determination shall be mailed to the claimant, the claimant's most recent employer, and any other employer involved in the determination.

(a) Whenever the administrator has reason to believe that the unemployment of twenty-five or more individuals relates to a labor dispute, the administrator shall, within five calendar days after their claims are filed, schedule a hearing concerning the reason for unemployment. Notice of the hearing shall be sent to all interested parties, including the duly authorized representative of the parties, as provided in division (D)(1) of this section. The hearing date shall be scheduled so as to provide at least ten days' prior notice of the time and date of the hearing. A similar hearing, in such cases, may be scheduled when there is a dispute as to the duration or ending date of the labor dispute.

(b) The administrator shall appoint a hearing officer to conduct the hearing of the case under division (D)(1)(a) of this section. The hearing officer is not bound by common law or statutory rules of evidence or by technical or formal rules of procedure, but shall take any steps that are reasonable and necessary to obtain the facts and determine whether the claimants are entitled to benefits under the law. The failure of any interested party to appear at the hearing shall not preclude a decision based upon all the facts available to the hearing officer. The proceeding at the hearing shall be recorded by mechanical means or by other means prescribed by the administrator. The record need not be transcribed unless an application for appeal is filed on the decision and the chairperson of the unemployment compensation review commission requests a transcript of the hearing within fourteen days after the application for appeal is received by the commission. The administrator shall prescribe rules concerning the conduct of the hearings and all related matters and appoint an attorney to direct the operation of this function.

(c) The administrator shall issue the hearing officer's decisions and reasons therefor on the case within ten calendar days after the hearing. The hearing officer's decision issued by the administrator is final unless an application for appeal is filed with the review commission within twenty-one days after the decision was mailed to all interested parties. The administrator may, within the twenty-one-day appeal period, remove and vacate the decision and issue a revised determination and appeal date.

(d) Upon receipt of the application for appeal, the full review commission shall review the administrator's decision and either schedule a further hearing on the case or disallow the application. The review commission shall review the administrator's decision within fourteen days after receipt of the decision or the receipt of a transcript requested under division (D)(1)(b) of this section, whichever is later.

(i) When a further hearing is granted, the commission shall make the administrator's decision and record of the case, as certified by the administrator, a part of the record and shall consider the administrator's decision and record in arriving at a decision on the case. The commission's decision affirming, modifying, or reversing the administrator's decision, following the further appeal, shall be mailed to all interested parties within fourteen days after the hearing.

(ii) A decision of the disallowance of a further appeal shall be mailed to all interested parties within fourteen days after the commission makes the decision to disallow. The disallowance is deemed an affirmation of the administrator's decision.

(iii) The time limits specified in divisions (D)(1)(a), (b), (c), and (d) of this section may be extended by agreement of all interested parties or for cause beyond the control of the administrator or the commission.

(e) An appeal of the commission's decision issued under division (D)(1)(d) of this section may be taken to the court of common pleas as provided in division (O) of this section.

(f) A labor dispute decision involving fewer than twenty-five individuals shall be determined under division (D)(1) of this section and the review commission shall determine any appeal from the decision pursuant to division (M) of this section and within the time limits provided in division (D)(1)(d) of this section.

(2) The administrator or the administrator's deputy shall also examine each continued claim for benefits filed, and on the basis of any facts found by the administrator or the administrator's deputy shall determine whether such claim shall be allowed.

(a) The determination of a first or additional claim, including the reasons therefor, shall be mailed to the claimant, the claimant's most recent employer, and any other employer involved in the determination.

(b) When the determination of a continued claim results in a disallowed claim, the administrator shall notify the claimant of such disallowance and the reasons therefor.

(3) Where the claim for benefits is directly attributable to unemployment caused by a major disaster, as declared by the president of the United States pursuant to the "Disaster Relief Act of 1970," 84 Stat. 1745, 42 U.S.C.A. 4402, and the individual filing the claim would otherwise have been eligible for disaster unemployment assistance under that act, then upon application by the employer any benefits paid on the claim shall not be charged to the account of the employer who would have been charged on such claim but instead shall be charged to the mutualized account described in section 4141.25 of the Revised Code, provided that this division is not applicable to an employer electing reimbursing status under section 4141.241 of the Revised Code, except reimbursing employers for whom benefit charges are charged to the mutualized account pursuant to division (C) of section 4141.33 of the Revised Code.

(4)(a) An individual filing a new claim for unemployment compensation shall disclose, at the time of filing, whether or not the individual owes child support obligations. In such a case, the administrator shall notify the state or local child support enforcement agency enforcing the obligation only if the claimant has been determined to be eligible for unemployment compensation.

(2) Unless an application for reconsideration is filed within the twenty-one-day period, or within an extended period pursuant to division (R) of this section, such determination of the administrator or deputy is final, except that upon discovery, within the benefit year, of an error in an employer's report other than a report to correct remuneration information as provided in division (B) of this section or any typographical or clerical error in the administrator's determination or a decision on reconsideration, the administrator or the administrator's deputy shall issue a corrected determination or decision to all interested parties, which determination or decision shall take precedence over and void the prior determination or decision of the administrator or the administrator's deputy, provided no appeal has been filed with the commission. If a request for reconsideration is filed within the twenty-one-day period, the administrator shall promptly consider such request and, after giving notice to the interested parties and informing them of their right to be present at a predetermination fact-finding interview, conducted as described in division (B) of this section, shall issue the decision to the interested parties; except that, if in the administrator's judgment the issues are such as to require a hearing, the administrator may refer any request for reconsideration to the commission as an appeal.

(3) If benefits are allowed by the administrator in the initial determination or the decision on reconsideration, or in a decision by a referee, the review commission, or a court, the benefits shall be paid promptly, notwithstanding any further appeal, provided that if benefits are denied upon reconsideration or appeal, of which the parties have notice and an opportunity to be heard, the payment of benefits shall be withheld pending a decision on any further appeal.

(4) Any benefits paid to a claimant under this section prior to a final determination of the claimant's right to the benefits shall be charged to the employer's account as provided in division (D) of section 4141.24 of the Revised Code, provided that if there is no final determination of the claim by the subsequent thirtieth day of June, the employer's account will be credited with the total amount of benefits which has been paid prior to that date, based on the determination which has not become final. The total amount credited to the employer's account shall be charged to a suspense account which shall be maintained as a separate bookkeeping account and administered as a part of section 4141.24 of the Revised Code, and shall not be used in determining the account balance of the employer for the purpose of computing the employer's contribution rate under section 4141.25 of the Revised Code. If it is finally determined that the claimant is entitled to all or a part of the benefits in dispute, the suspense account shall be credited and the appropriate employer's account charged with the benefits. If it is finally determined that the claimant is not entitled to all or any portion of the benefits in dispute, the benefits shall be credited to the suspense account and a corresponding charge made to the mutualized account established in division (D) of section 4141.25 of the Revised Code, provided that, except as otherwise provided in this division, if benefits are chargeable to an employer or group of employers who is required or elects to make payments to the fund in lieu of contributions under section 4141.241 of the Revised Code, the benefits shall be charged to the employer's account in the manner provided in division (D) of section 4141.24 and division (B) of section 4141.241 of the Revised Code, and no part of the benefits may be charged to the suspense account provided in this division. To the extent that benefits which have been paid to a claimant and charged to the employer's account are found not to be due the claimant and are recovered by the administrator as provided in section 4141.35 of the Revised Code, they shall be credited to the employer's account.

(H) Any interested party may appeal the administrator's decision on reconsideration to the commission and unless an appeal is filed from such decision on reconsideration with the commission within twenty-one calendar days after such decision was mailed to the last known post-office address of the appellant, or within an extended period pursuant to division (R) of this section, such decision on reconsideration is final and benefits shall be paid or denied in accordance therewith.

(I) Requests for reconsideration, appeals, or applications for further appeals may be filed with the commission, with the administrator or one of the administrator's deputies, with an employee of another state or federal agency, or with an employee of the unemployment insurance commission of Canada charged with the duty of accepting claims.

(1) Any timely written notice stating that the interested party desires a review of the previous determination or decision and the reasons therefor, shall be accepted.

(2) The administrator, commission, or authorized agent must receive the request, appeal, or application within the specified appeal period in order for the request, appeal, or application to be deemed timely filed, except that:

(a) If the United States postal service is used as the means of delivery, the enclosing envelope must have a postmark date, as governed by United States postal regulations, that is on or before the last day of the specified appeal period; and

(b) Where the postmark date is illegible or missing, the request, appeal, or application is timely filed if received no later than the end of the third calendar day following the last day of the specified appeal period.

(J) When an appeal from a decision on reconsideration of the administrator or deputy is taken, all interested parties shall be notified and the commission or a referee shall, after affording such parties reasonable opportunity for a fair hearing, affirm, modify, or reverse the findings of fact and the decision of the administrator or deputy in the manner which appears just and proper. In the conduct of such hearing or any other hearing on appeal to the commission which is provided in this section, the commission and the referees are not bound by common law or statutory rules of evidence or by technical or formal rules of procedure. The commission and the referees shall take any steps in the hearings, consistent with the impartial discharge of their duties, which appear reasonable and necessary to ascertain the facts and determine whether the claimant is entitled to benefits under the law. For the purpose of any hearing on appeal which is provided in this section, the file of the administrator pertaining to the case shall be certified by the administrator and shall automatically become a part of the record in the appeal hearing. All information in the file which pertains to the claim, including statements made to the administrator or the administrator's deputy by the individual claiming benefits or other interested parties, shall be considered by the commission and the referees in arriving at a decision, together with any other information which is produced at the hearing. The commission and referees may conduct any such hearing in person or by telephone. The commission shall adopt rules which designate the circumstances under which the commission or referees may conduct a hearing by telephone, grant a party to the hearing the opportunity to object to a hearing by telephone, and govern the conduct of hearings by telephone. An interested party whose hearing would be by telephone pursuant to the commission rules may elect to have an in-person hearing, provided that the party electing the in-person hearing agrees to have the hearing at the time and place the commission determines pursuant to rule.

(1) The failure of the claimant or other interested party to appear at a hearing, unless the claimant or interested party is the appealing party, shall not preclude a decision in the claimant's or interested party's favor, if on the basis of all the information in the record, including that contained in the file of the administrator, the claimant or interested party is entitled to the decision.

(2) If the party appealing fails to appear at the hearing, the referee or the commission shall dismiss the appeal, provided that the referee or commission shall vacate the dismissal upon a showing that due notice of the hearing was not mailed to such party's last known address or good cause for the failure to appear is shown to the referee or the commission within fourteen days after the hearing date. No further appeal from the decision may thereafter be instituted by such party. If the other party fails to appear at the hearing, the referee or the commission shall proceed with the hearing and shall issue a decision without further hearing, provided that the referee or commission shall vacate the decision upon a showing that due notice of the hearing was not mailed to such party's last known address or good cause for such party's failure to appear is shown to the referee or the commission within fourteen days after the hearing date.

(3) Where a party requests that a hearing be scheduled in the evening because the party is employed during the day, the commission or referee shall schedule the hearing during such hours as the party is not employed.

(K) The proceedings at the hearing before the referee, or the commission, shall be recorded by mechanical means or otherwise as may be prescribed by the commission. Unless the claim is further appealed, such record of proceedings need not be transcribed.

(L) All interested parties shall be notified of the referee's decision, which shall include the reasons therefor. The referee's decision shall become final unless, within twenty-one days after the decision was mailed to the last known post-office address of such parties, or within an extended period pursuant to division (R) of this section, the commission on its own motion removes or transfers such claim to itself or an application to institute a further appeal before the commission is filed by any interested party and such appeal is allowed by the commission.

(M) When any claim is removed or transferred to the commission on its own motion, or when an application to institute a further appeal is allowed by the commission, the commission shall review the decision of the referee and shall either affirm, modify, or reverse such decision. Before rendering its decision, the commission may remand the case to the referee for further proceedings. When the commission disallows an application to institute a further appeal, or renders its decision affirming, modifying, or reversing the decision of the referee, all interested parties shall be notified of such decision or order by mail addressed to the last known post-office address of such parties. A disallowance by the commission of an application for further appeal shall be deemed an affirmation by the commission of the referee's decision under appeal.

(N) Whenever the administrator and the chairperson of the review commission determine in writing and certify jointly that a controversy exists with respect to the proper application of this chapter to more than five hundred claimants similarly situated whose claims are pending before the administrator or the review commission or both on reconsideration or appeal applied for or filed by three or more employers or by such claimants, the chairperson of the review commission shall select one such claim which is representative of all such claims and assign it for a fair hearing and decision. Any other claimant or employer in the group who makes a timely request to participate in the hearing and decision shall be given a reasonable opportunity to participate as a party to the proceeding.

Such joint certification by the administrator and the chairperson of the commission shall constitute a stay of further proceedings in the claims of all claimants similarly situated until the issue or issues in controversy are adjudicated by the supreme court of Ohio. At the time the decision of the commission is issued, the chairperson shall certify the commission's decision directly to the supreme court of Ohio and the chairperson shall file with the clerk of the supreme court a certified copy of the transcript of the proceedings before the commission pertaining to such decision. Hearings on such issues shall take precedence over all other civil cases. If upon hearing and consideration of such record the court decides that the decision of the commission is unlawful, the court shall reverse and vacate the decision or modify it and enter final judgment in accordance with such modification; otherwise such court shall affirm such decision. The notice of the decision of the commission to the interested parties shall contain a certification by the chairperson of the commission that the decision is of great public interest and that a certified transcript of the record of the proceedings before the commission has been filed with the clerk of the supreme court as an appeal to the court. Promptly upon the final judgment of the court, the administrator and the commission shall decide those claims pending before them where the facts are similar and shall notify all interested parties of such decision and the reason therefor in the manner provided for in this section. Nothing in this division shall be construed so as to deny the right of any such claimant, whose claim is pending before the administrator on reconsideration or before the commission, to apply for and be granted an opportunity for a fair hearing to show that the facts in the claimant's case are different from the facts in the claim selected as the representative claim as provided in this division, nor shall any such claimant be denied the right to appeal the decision of the administrator or the commission which is made as a result of the decision of the court in the representative case.

(O)(1) Any interested party as defined in division (I) of section 4141.01 of the Revised Code, within thirty days after notice of the decision of the commission was mailed to the last known post-office address of all interested parties, may appeal from the decision of the commission to the court of common pleas of the county where the appellant, if an employee, is resident or was last employed or of the county where the appellant, if an employer, is resident or has the principal place of business in this state. The commission shall provide on its decision the names and addresses of all interested parties. Such appeal shall be taken within such thirty days by the appellant by filing a notice of appeal with the clerk of the court of common pleas. Such filing shall be the only act required to perfect the appeal and vest jurisdiction in the court. Failure of an appellant to take any step other than timely filing of a notice of appeal does not affect the validity of the appeal, but is grounds only for such action as the court deems appropriate, which may include dismissal of the appeal. Such notice of appeal shall set forth the decision appealed from. The appellant shall mail a copy of the notice of appeal to the commission and to all interested parties by certified mail to their last known post-office address and proof of the mailing of the notice shall be filed with the clerk within thirty days of filing the notice of appeal. All interested parties shall be made appellees. The commission upon receipt of the notice of appeal shall within thirty days file with the clerk a certified transcript of the record of the proceedings before the commission pertaining to the decision complained of, and mail a copy of the transcript to the appellant's attorney or to the appellant, if not represented by counsel. The appellant shall file a statement of the assignments of error presented for review within sixty days of the filing of the notice of appeal with the court. The appeal shall be heard upon such record certified by the commission. After an appeal has been filed in the court, the commission may, by petition, be made a party to such appeal. If the court finds that the decision was unlawful, unreasonable, or against the manifest weight of the evidence, it shall reverse and vacate such decision or it may modify such decision and enter final judgment in accordance with such modification; otherwise such court shall affirm such decision. Any interested party shall have the right to appeal from the decision of the court as in civil cases.

(2) If an appeal is filed after the thirty-day appeal period established in division (O)(1) of this section, the court of common pleas shall conduct a hearing to determine whether the appeal was timely filed pursuant to division (R) of this section. At the hearing, additional evidence may be introduced and oral arguments may be presented regarding the timeliness of the filing of the appeal. If the court of common pleas determines that the time for filing the appeal is extended as provided in division (R) of this section and that the appeal was filed within the extended time provided in that division, the court shall thereafter make its decision on the merits of the appeal. If the court of common pleas determines that the time for filing the appeal may not be extended as provided in division (R) of this section, the court shall dismiss the appeal accordingly. The determination on timeliness by the court of common pleas may be appealed to the court of appeals as in civil cases, and such appeal shall be consolidated with any appeal from the decision by the court of common pleas on the merits of the appeal.

(P) Any application for reconsideration, any appeal from a decision on reconsideration of the determination of the administrator, application to institute a further appeal, and any notice of intention to appeal the decision or order of the commission to a court of common pleas may be executed in behalf of any party or any group of claimants by an agent.

(Q)(1) The administrator, the administrator's deputy, the referee, the review commission, or the court that has the authority or jurisdiction pursuant to this section to hear an application for reconsideration or an appeal that is timely filed shall render a decision on the application for reconsideration or the appeal and upon any further application for reconsideration or appeal that is timely filed, whether or not the claimant meets the able to work, available for suitable work, or the actively seeking work requirements of division (A)(4)(a) of section 4141.29 of the Revised Code, if all of the following apply:

(a) The claimant's claim for benefits is allowed or denied upon initial determination by the administrator or the administrator's deputy or upon reconsideration, review, or appeal by a decision of the administrator, the administrator's deputy, a referee, the review commission, or a court.

(b) After the claim is allowed or disallowed, the claimant is subjected to criminally injurious conduct, as defined in section 2743.51 of the Revised Code.

(d) The claimant files an application for an award of reparations pursuant to sections 2743.51 to 2743.72 of the Revised Code, for the loss of unemployment benefits.

(2) Any decision that is rendered pursuant to division (Q)(1) of this section when a claimant fails to meet the able to work, available for suitable work, or the actively seeking work requirements of division (A)(4)(a) of section 4141.29 of the Revised Code shall apply only for the purposes of any claim for an award of reparations filed pursuant to sections 2743.51 to 2743.72 of the Revised Code and shall not enable a claimant who does not meet the able to work, available for suitable work, or the actively seeking work requirements of division (A)(4)(a) of section 4141.29 of the Revised Code to obtain any benefits pursuant to this chapter.

(R) The time for filing a request for reconsideration, an appeal, an application to institute further appeal, or a court appeal, under division (G), (H), (L), or (O) of this section shall be extended as follows:

(1) When the last day of an appeal period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the appeal period is extended to the next work day after the Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday; or

(2) When an interested party provides certified medical evidence stating that the interested party's physical condition or mental capacity prevented the interested party from filing a request for reconsideration, an appeal, or an application to institute further appeal pursuant to division (G), (H), or (L) of this section within the appropriate twenty-one-day period, the appeal period is extended to twenty-one days after the end of the physical or mental condition and the request, appeal, or application is considered timely filed if filed within that extended period;

(3) When an interested party provides evidence, which evidence may consist of testimony from the interested party, that is sufficient to establish that the party did not actually receive the determination or decision within the applicable appeal period pursuant to division (G), (H), or (L) of this section, and the administrator or the commission finds that the interested party did not actually receive the determination or decision within the applicable appeal period, then the appeal period is extended to twenty-one days after the interested party actually receives the determination or decision.

(4) When an interested party provides evidence, which evidence may consist of testimony from the interested party, that is sufficient to establish that the party did not actually receive a decision within the thirty-day appeal period provided in division (O)(1) of this section, and a court of common pleas finds that the interested party did not actually receive the decision within that thirty-day appeal period, then the appeal period is extended to thirty days after the interested party actually receives the decision.

(S) No finding of fact or law, decision, or order of the administrator, referee, or the review commission, or a reviewing court pursuant to this section, shall be given collateral estoppel or res judicata effect in any separate or subsequent judicial, administrative, or arbitration proceeding, other than a proceeding arising under this chapter.

Each applicant shall be notified promptly of the results of the eligibility determination. An applicant aggrieved by a decision or delay in making an eligibility determination may appeal the decision or delay to the department of human services in accordance with section 5101.35 of the Revised Code. The due process rights of applicants shall be protected.

To the extent permitted by federal law, the county department may make all determinations of eligibility for publicly funded child day-care, may contract with child day-care providers or child day-care resource and referral service organizations for the providers or resource and referral service organizations to make all or any part of the determinations, and may contract with child day-care providers or child day-care resource and referral service organizations for the providers or resource and referral service organizations to collect specified information for use by the county department in making determinations.

(2) All eligibility determinations for publicly funded child day-care shall be made in accordance with rules adopted by the department of human services pursuant to division (A) of section 5104.38 of the Revised Code. Publicly funded child day-care may be provided only to eligible infants, toddlers, preschool children, and school children under age thirteen. For an applicant to be eligible for publicly funded child day-care, the caretaker parent must be employed or participating in a program of education or training for an amount of time reasonably related to the time that the parent's children are receiving publicly funded child day-care. This restriction does not apply to families whose children are eligible for protective or special needs day-care.

Subject to available funds, the department shall allow a family to continue to receive publicly funded child day-care until the family's income exceeds one hundred fifty per cent of the federal poverty line. Initial and continued eligibility for publicly funded child day-care is subject to available funds unless the family is receiving transitional child day-care as provided under this section, participating in the Ohio works first program established under Chapter 5107. of the Revised Code, or was receiving publicly funded child day-care on October 1, 1997, and has a family income below one hundred fifty per cent of the federal poverty line. If the department must limit eligibility due to lack of available funds, it shall give first priority for publicly funded child day-care to an assistance group whose income is not more than one hundred fifty per cent of the federal poverty line that received transitional child day-care in the previous month but is no longer eligible because the twelve-month period has expired. Such an assistance group shall continue to receive priority for publicly funded child day-care until its income exceeds one hundred fifty per cent of the federal poverty line.

(3) An assistance group that ceases to participate in the Ohio works first program established under Chapter 5107. of the Revised Code is eligible for transitional child day-care at any time during the immediately following twelve-month period that both of the following apply:

(a) The assistance group requires child day-care due to employment;

(b) The assistance group's income is not more than one hundred fifty per cent of the federal poverty line.

An assistance group ineligible to participate in the Ohio works first program pursuant to section ~~5107.17~~ 5101.83 or section ~~5107.21~~ 5107.16 of the Revised Code is not eligible for transitional child day-care.

(B) To the extent permitted by federal law, a county department of human services may require a caretaker parent determined to be eligible for publicly funded child day-care to pay a fee according to the schedule of fees established in rules adopted under section 5104.38 of the Revised Code. Each county department shall make protective day-care services available to children without regard to the income or assets of the caretaker parent of the child.

(C) A caretaker parent receiving publicly funded child day-care shall report to the entity that determined eligibility any changes in status with respect to employment or participation in a program of education or training.

(D) If a county department of human services determines that available resources are not sufficient to provide publicly funded child day-care to all eligible families who request it, the county department may establish a waiting list. A county department may establish separate waiting lists within the waiting list based on income. When resources become available to provide publicly funded child day-care to families on the waiting list, a county department that establishes a waiting list shall assess the needs of the next family scheduled to receive publicly funded child day-care. If the assessment demonstrates that the family continues to need and is eligible for publicly funded child day-care, the county department shall offer it to the family. If the county department determines that the family is no longer eligible or no longer needs publicly funded child day-care, the county department shall remove the family from the waiting list.

Sec. 5107.14. An assistance group is ineligible to participate in Ohio works first unless the minor head of household or each adult member of the assistance group, not later than thirty days after applying for or undergoing a redetermination of eligibility for the program, enters into a written self-sufficiency contract with the county department of human services. The contract shall set forth the rights and responsibilities of the assistance group as applicants for and participants of the program, including work responsibilities established under sections 5107.40 to 5107.69 of the Revised Code and other requirements designed to assist the assistance group in achieving self sufficiency and personal responsibility. The county department shall provide without charge a copy of the contract to each assistance group member who signs it.

Each self-sufficiency contract shall include, based on appraisals conducted under section 5107.41 of the Revised Code and assessments conducted under section 5107.70 of the Revised Code, the following:

(A) The assistance group's plan, developed under section 5107.41 of the Revised Code, to achieve the goal of self sufficiency and personal responsibility through unsubsidized employment within the time limit for participating in Ohio works first established by section 5107.18 of the Revised Code;

(B) Work activities, developmental activities, and alternative work activities to which members of the assistance group are assigned under sections 5107.40 to 5107.69 of the Revised Code;

(I) Procedures for assessing whether responsibilities are being satisfied and whether the contract should be amended;

(J) Procedures for amending the contract.

Sec. 5107.20. As used in this section, "support" has the same meaning as in section 3113.21 of the Revised Code.

Participation in Ohio works first constitutes an assignment to the department of human services of any rights members of an assistance group have to support from any other person, excluding medical support assigned pursuant to section 5101.59 of the Revised Code. The rights to support assigned to the department pursuant to this section constitute an obligation of the person who is responsible for providing the support to the state for the amount of cash assistance provided to the assistance group.

~~A child support enforcement agency~~ The division of child support in the department of human services shall collect and distribute support payments owed to Ohio works first participants, whether assigned to the department or unassigned, in accordance with Title IV-D, federal regulations, state statutes, and rules adopted under section 5107.05 of the Revised Code.

~~A child support enforcement agency that receives support payments assigned to the department shall pay the support payments to the department.~~ In accordance with federal statutes and regulations, the department shall deposit support payments it receives pursuant to this section into the state treasury to the credit of the child support collections fund or the child support administrative fund, both of which are hereby created. Money credited to the funds shall be used to make cash assistance payments under Ohio works first.

SECTION 2 . That existing sections 149.43, 169.03, 169.08, 329.12, 1336.07, 1336.08, 1349.01, 1533.82, 2105.18, 2151.23, 2151.231, 2151.33, 2151.49, 2301.34, 2301.35, 2301.353, 2301.356, 2301.357, 2301.358, 2301.36, 2301.37, 2301.371, 2301.373, 2301.374, 2705.02, 2919.21, 2919.231, 3103.03, 3103.031, 3105.18, 3105.21, 3107.01, 3107.06, 3107.064, 3109.05, 3109.12, 3109.19, 3111.02, 3111.03, 3111.04, 3111.06, 3111.07, 3111.09, 3111.12, 3111.13, 3111.20, 3111.22, 3111.23, 3111.24, 3111.241, 3111.242, 3111.25, 3111.26, 3111.27, 3111.28, 3111.37, 3111.99, 3113.04, 3113.07, 3113.21, 3113.211, 3113.212, 3113.213, 3113.215, 3113.216, 3113.217, 3113.218, 3113.219, 3113.31, 3113.99, 3317.02, 3705.07, 3705.09, 3705.16, 3727.17, 3770.071, 3924.48, 3924.49, 4141.16, 4141.28, 5101.26, 5101.28, 5101.31, 5101.311, 5101.312, 5101.322, 5101.323, 5101.324, 5101.37, 5101.99, 5104.01, 5104.34, 5107.14, 5107.20, and 5153.16, and sections 329.043, 2301.351, 2301.352, 2301.42, 3111.21, 3113.214, 3115.01, 3115.02, 3115.03, 3115.04, 3115.05, 3115.06, 3115.07, 3115.08, 3115.09, 3115.10, 3115.11, 3115.12, 3115.13, 3115.14, 3115.15, 3115.16, 3115.17, 3115.18, 3115.19, 3115.20, 3115.21, 3115.22, 3115.23, 3115.24, 3115.25, 3115.26, 3115.27, 3115.28, 3115.29, 3115.30, 3115.31, 3115.32, 3115.33, 3115.34, and 3701.042 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.

SECTION 3 . The General Assembly recognizes that in certain instances, the wording of this act differs from that of the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act approved by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. Any such dissimilarity denotes a technical change or is made to reflect the intent of the Commissioners as expressed in the Comments to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act.

SECTION 4 . Sections 1 through 3 of this act, except for sections 329.12, 3317.02, 5101.26, 5101.28, 5101.312, 5104.01, 5104.34, 5107.14, and 5153.16 of the Revised Code, shall take effect January 1, 1998. Sections 329.12, 3317.02, 5101.26, 5101.28, 5101.312, 5104.01, 5104.34, 5107.14, and 5153.16 of the Revised Code, as amended by this act, shall take effect October 1, 1997.

SECTION 5 . Section 5153.164 of the Revised Code is hereby repealed. This repeal is identical to the repeal of section 5153.164 of the Revised Code by Am. Sub. H.B. 215 of the 122nd General Assembly and is intended to confirm that such was the result intended by the General Assembly. Uncertainty as to the status of section 5153.164 of the Revised Code occurred because, while Am. Sub. H.B. 215, which repealed the section, was passed on June 25, 1997, another act, Sub. H.B. 408 of the 122nd General Assembly, which amended the section, was passed one day later, on June 26, 1997. It was not the intent of the General Assembly by enacting Sub. H.B. 408 to revive section 5153.164 of the Revised Code.

SECTION 6 . Section 2301.355 of the Revised Code, which is presented in this act in all capital letters, is revived by this act. Section 5 of Am. Sub. S.B. 292 of the 121st General Assembly repealed Section 3 of Am. Sub. S.B. 10 of the 119th General Assembly, which latter section repealed section 2301.355 of the Revised Code effective October 1, 1996. Section 5 of Am. Sub. S.B. 292, however, did not become effective until November 6, 1996, after the repeal of section 2301.355 of the Revised Code by Section 3 of Am. Sub. S.B. 10 had taken effect on October 1, 1996. While legislative intent to retain section 2301.355 of the Revised Code is explicit in Section 5 of Am. Sub. S.B. 292, efficacy of the legislative intent is uncertain because Ohio Constitution, Article II, Section 15(D) states that repealed sections may not be revived "unless the new act contains the entire act revived," and section 2301.355 of the Revised Code are not set forth in their entirety in Am. Sub. S.B. 292. This act, in confirmation of the legislative intent stated in Section 5 of Am. Sub. S.B. 292, revives section 2301.355 of the Revised Code by setting forth the section in its entirety.

SECTION 7 . Section 2301.34 of the Revised Code is presented in this act as a composite of the section as amended by both Sub. H.B. 274 and Am. Sub. S.B. 292 of the 121st General Assembly, with the new language of neither of the acts shown in capital letters. Sections 2919.21 and 2919.231 of the Revised Code are presented in this act as composites of the sections as amended by both Sub. H.B. 274 and Am. Sub. S.B. 269 of the 121st General Assembly, with the new language of neither of the acts shown in capital letters. Section 3111.99 of the Revised Code is presented in this act as a composite of the section as amended by both Sub. H.B. 167 and Am. Sub. S.B. 2 of the 121st General Assembly, with the new language of neither of the acts shown in capital letters. Section 3113.99 of the Revised Code is presented in this act as a composite of the section as amended by both Am. Sub. S.B. 2 and Sub. H.B. 167 of the 121st General Assembly, with the new language of neither of the acts shown in capital letters. Section 5153.16 of the Revised Code is presented in this act as a composite of the section as amended by both Am. Sub. H.B. 215 and Sub. H.B. 408 of the 122nd General Assembly, with the new language of neither of the acts shown in capital letters. This is in recognition of the principle stated in division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised Code that such amendments are to be harmonized where not substantively irreconcilable and constitutes a legislative finding that such is the resulting version in effect prior to the effective date of this act.

SECTION 8 . The Department of Human Services shall conduct a study regarding the efficacy of continuing to impose the processing charge required by division (G) of section 2301.35 of the Revised Code in light of the centralized collection and disbursement system established by this act. The Department shall file the results of the study with the Governor, the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, and the President and Minority Leader of the Senate by July 1, 1998. The study shall include a cost benefit analysis of the costs of collecting the charge as compared to the loss of federal funding that occurs as a result of its collection. It shall also include a recommendation regarding alternative sources of funding to restore any net loss of funding that would occur if the charge were no longer imposed.

SECTION 9 . The Department of Human Services shall conduct a study and prepare a report regarding the exchange of information between the Division of Child Support and financial institutions pursuant to agreements entered into under section 5101.315 of the Revised Code.

The study shall include information concerning the type of automation used by financial institutions, the number of accounts maintained by each financial institution surveyed, and statistics relating to the effectiveness of information sharing between financial institutions and the Division as a method of enforcing support orders, including a comparison of the costs incurred in sharing information and the amount of assets of defaulting obligors that can reasonably be expected to be located as a result of information sharing between financial institutions and the Division. The Department shall file the report with the Governor, the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, and the President and Minority Leader of the Senate not later than April 30, 1999.

SECTION 10 . Consistent with the intent of the General Assembly in passing Section 147 of Am. Sub. H.B. 215 of the 122nd General Assembly, any unused principal in the Human Services Stabilization Fund at the end of fiscal year 1997 shall be retained in that fund notwithstanding Section 177 of Am. Sub. H.B. 117 of the 121st General Assembly. The General Assembly hereby ratifies any action taken prior to the effective date of this section consistent with this intent.
