      (4)  "Substantive revision" has the same meaning as in       84           

division (J) of section 119.01 of the Revised Code.                85           

      (B)(1)  Any rule, other than a rule of an emergency nature,  87

      An agency that adopts or amends a rule that is subject to    102

assigned to a rule exceeds the five-year maximum, the review date  106          

for the rule is five years after its effective date.  A rule with  107          

a review date is subject to review under section 119.032 of the    108          

Revised Code.  This paragraph does not apply to a rule of a state  110

      If all copies are not filed on the same day, the rule shall  113          

be effective on the tenth day after the day on which the latest    114          

filing is made.  If an agency in adopting a rule designates an     115          

effective date that is later than the effective date provided for  116          

by division (B)(1) of this section, the rule if filed as required  117          

                                                          4

designated by the agency.                                          119          

      Any rule that is required to be filed under division (B)(1)  121          

of this section is also subject to division (D) of this section    122          

if not exempted by division (D)(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7),  124          

or (8) of this section.                                                         

      (2)  A rule of an emergency nature necessary for the         126          

immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety      127          

shall state the reasons for the necessity.  Copies of the          128          

emergency rule, in final form and in compliance with division      129          

(B)(3) of this section, shall be filed as follows:  two certified  130          

copies of the emergency rule shall be filed with both the          131          

secretary of state and the director of the legislative service     132          

commission, and one certified copy of the emergency rule shall be  133          

filed with the joint committee on agency rule review.  The         134          

emergency rule is effective immediately upon the latest filing,    135          

except that if the agency in adopting the emergency rule           136          

designates an effective date, or date and time of day, that is     137          

later than the effective date and time provided for by division    138          

(B)(2) of this section, the emergency rule if filed as required    139          

by such division shall become effective at the later date, or      140          

later date and time of day, designated by the agency.              141          

      An emergency rule becomes invalid at the end of the          143          

ninetieth day it is in effect.  Prior to that date, the agency     144          

may file the emergency rule as a nonemergency rule in compliance   145          

with division (B)(1) of this section.  The agency may not refile   146          

the emergency rule in compliance with division (B)(2) of this      147          

section so that, upon the emergency rule becoming invalid under    148          

such division, the emergency rule will continue in effect without  149          

interruption for another ninety-day period.                        150          

      (3)  An agency shall file a rule under division (B)(1) or    152          

(2) of this section in compliance with the following standards     153

numbering system devised by the director for the Ohio              157          

administrative code.                                               158          

      (b)  The rule shall be prepared and submitted in compliance  160          

with the rules of the legislative service commission.              161          

      (c)  The rule shall clearly state the date on which it is    163          

to be effective and the date on which it will expire, if known.    164          

      (d)  Each rule that amends or rescinds another rule shall    166          

clearly refer to the rule that is amended or rescinded.  Each      167          

amendment shall fully restate the rule as amended.                 168          

      If the director of the legislative service commission or     170          

the director's designee gives an agency written notice pursuant    172          

to section 103.05 of the Revised Code that a rule filed by the     173

service commission, the agency shall within thirty days after      175          

receipt of the notice conform the rule to the rules of the         176          

commission as directed in the notice.                              177          

      (C)  All rules filed pursuant to divisions (B)(1)(a) and     179          

(2) of this section shall be recorded by the secretary of state    180          

and the director under the title of the agency adopting the rule   181          

and shall be numbered according to the numbering system devised    182          

by the director.  The secretary of state and the director shall    183          

preserve the rules in an accessible manner.  Each such rule shall  184          

be a public record open to public inspection and may be lent to    185          

any law publishing company that wishes to reproduce it.            186          

      (D)  At least sixty days before a board, commission,         188

      (b)  The projection of the potential average growth of tax   1,455        

valuation during the next five years, according to the             1,456        

information certified to the superintendent and any other          1,457        

information the superintendent obtains, indicates a likelihood of  1,458        

potential average growth of tax valuation of the district during   1,459        

the next five years of an average of not less than three per cent  1,460        

per year.  The findings and certification of the superintendent    1,461        

shall be conclusive.                                               1,462        

      (4)  An approved special needs district may incur net        1,464        

indebtedness by the issuance of securities in accordance with the  1,465        

provisions of this chapter in an amount that does not exceed an    1,466        

amount equal to the greater of the following:                      1,467        

      (a)  Nine per cent of the sum of its tax valuation plus an   1,469        

amount that is the product of multiplying that tax valuation by    1,470        

the percentage by which the tax valuation has increased over the   1,471        

tax valuation on the first day of the sixtieth month preceding     1,472        

the month in which its board determines to submit to the electors  1,473        

the question of issuing the proposed securities;                   1,474        

                                                          34     


                                                                 
      (b)  Nine per cent of the sum of its tax valuation plus an   1,476        

amount that is the product of multiplying that tax valuation by    1,477        

the percentage, determined by the superintendent of public         1,478        

instruction, by which that tax valuation is projected to increase  1,479        

during the next ten years.                                         1,480        

      (F)  A school district may issue securities for emergency    1,482        

purposes, in a principal amount that does not exceed an amount     1,483        

equal to three per cent of its tax valuation, as provided in this  1,484        

division.                                                          1,485        

      (1)  A board of education, by resolution, may declare an     1,487

      (a)  School buildings or other necessary school facilities   1,490        

in the district have been wholly or partially destroyed, or        1,491

buildings or facilities are partially constructed, or so           1,493        

constructed or planned as to require additions and improvements    1,494        

to them before the buildings or facilities are usable for their    1,495        

intended purpose, or that corrections to permanent improvements    1,496        

are necessary to remove or prevent health or safety hazards.       1,497        

      (b)  Existing fiscal and net indebtedness limitations make   1,499        

adequate replacement, additions, or improvements impossible.       1,500        

      (2)  Upon the declaration of an emergency, the board of      1,502        

education may, by resolution, submit to the electors of the        1,503        

district pursuant to section 133.18 of the Revised Code the        1,504

received by the district, of permanent improvements to respond to  1,507        

the emergency need.                                                1,508        

      (3)  The procedures for the election shall be as provided    1,510

this section;                                                      1,517        

      (b)  The resolution required by division (B) of section      1,519        

133.18 of the Revised Code shall be certified to the county        1,520

certification to, the board of education of the information        1,526        

required by division (C) of section 133.18 of the Revised Code;    1,527        

      (d)  The board of education shall then certify its           1,529        

resolution and the information required by division (D) of         1,530

      (4)  Notwithstanding division (B) of section 133.21 of the   1,534        

Revised Code, the first principal payment of securities issued     1,535        

under this division may be set at any date not later than sixty    1,536        

months after the earliest possible principal payment otherwise     1,537        

provided for in that division.                                     1,538        

      (G)  The board of education may contract with an architect,  1,540        

professional engineer, or other person experienced in the design   1,541        

and implementation of energy conservation measures for an          1,542        

analysis and recommendations pertaining to installations,          1,543        

modifications of installations, or remodeling that would           1,544        

significantly reduce energy consumption in buildings owned by the  1,545        

district.  The report shall include estimates of all costs of      1,546        

such installations, modifications, or remodeling, including costs  1,547        

of design, engineering, installation, maintenance, repairs, and    1,548        

debt service, and estimates of the amounts by which energy         1,549        

consumption and resultant operational and maintenance costs, as    1,550        

defined by the Ohio school facilities commission, would be         1,552        

reduced.                                                                        

      If the board finds after receiving the report that the       1,554        

amount of money the district would spend on such installations,    1,555        

modifications, or remodeling is not likely to exceed the amount    1,556        

                                                          36     


                                                                 
of money it would save in energy and resultant operational and     1,557        

maintenance costs over the ensuing fifteen years, the board may    1,559        

submit to the commission a copy of its findings and a request for  1,560        

approval to incur indebtedness to finance the making or            1,562        

modification of installations or the remodeling of buildings for   1,563

reasonable, it shall approve the board's request.  Upon receipt    1,568        

of the commission's approval, the district may issue securities    1,570        

without a vote of the electors in a principal amount not to        1,571        

exceed nine-tenths of one per cent of its tax valuation for the    1,572        

purpose of making such installations, or modifications, or         1,573        

remodeling, but the total net indebtedness of the district         1,574        

without a vote of the electors incurred under this and all other   1,575        

sections of the Revised Code shall not exceed one per cent of the  1,576        

district's tax valuation.                                          1,577        

      So long as any securities issued under division (G) of this  1,580        

section remain outstanding, the board of education shall monitor                

the energy consumption and resultant operational and maintenance   1,581        

costs of buildings in which installations or modifications have    1,583        

been made or remodeling has been done pursuant to division (G) of  1,584        

this section and shall maintain and annually update a report       1,586        

documenting the reductions in energy consumption and resultant     1,587        

operational and maintenance cost savings attributable to such      1,588        

installations, modifications, or remodeling.  The report shall be  1,589        

certified by an architect or engineer independent of any person    1,590        

that provided goods or services to the board in connection with    1,591        

the energy conservation measures that are the subject of the       1,592        

report.  The resultant operational and maintenance cost savings    1,593        

shall be certified by the school district treasurer.  The report   1,594        

shall be made available to the commission upon request.            1,595        

      (H)  With the consent of the superintendent of public        1,597        

instruction, a school district may incur without a vote of the     1,598        

electors net indebtedness that exceeds the amounts stated in       1,599

intended purpose upon acquisition or completion thereof, and the   1,624        

superintendent of public instruction approves the taxing           1,625        

authority's confirmation.                                          1,626

pledge is valid and binding as against all parties having claims   2,740        

of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the            2,741

appears on any bonds or coupons ceases to be such officer before   2,770

been imprinted on the bonds, the facsimile seal will continue to   2,776        

be sufficient for all purposes.                                    2,777        

      Any resolution or resolutions authorizing any tax            2,779        

anticipation bonds or any issue of tax anticipation bonds may      2,780        

contain provisions, subject to any agreements with bondholders as  2,781

      (D)  The auditor of state shall certify the action taken     3,162

Code, and to the superintendent of public instruction.             3,166        

      (E)  A determination by the auditor of state under this      3,168        

section that a fiscal emergency condition does not exist is final  3,169        

and conclusive and not appealable.  A determination by the         3,170        

auditor of state under this section that a fiscal emergency        3,171        

exists is final, except that the board of education of the school  3,172        

district affected by such a determination may appeal the                        

determination of the existence of a fiscal emergency condition to  3,173        

the court of appeals having territorial jurisdiction over the      3,174        

school district.  The appeal shall be heard expeditiously by the   3,175        

court of appeals and for good cause shown shall take precedence    3,176        

over all other civil matters except earlier matters of the same    3,177        

character.  Notice of such appeal must be filed with the auditor                

of state and such court within thirty days after certification by  3,178        

the auditor of state to the board of education of the school       3,179        

district provided for in division (D) of this section.  In such    3,180        

appeal, determinations of the auditor of state shall be presumed   3,181        

to be valid and the board of education shall have the burden of    3,182        

proving, by clear and convincing evidence, that each of the        3,183        

determinations made by the auditor of state as to the existence                 

of a fiscal emergency condition under this section was in error.   3,184        

If the board of education fails, upon presentation of its case,    3,185        

to prove by clear and convincing evidence that each such           3,186        

determination by the auditor of state was in error, the court      3,187        

shall dismiss the appeal.  The board of education and the auditor  3,188        

of state may introduce any evidence relevant to the existence or                

nonexistence of such fiscal emergency conditions.  The pendency    3,189        

of any such appeal shall not affect or impede the operations of    3,190        

this chapter; no restraining order, temporary injunction, or       3,191        

other similar restraint upon actions consistent with this chapter  3,192        

                                                          72     


                                                                 
shall be imposed by the court or any court pending determination   3,193        

of such appeal; and all things may be done under this chapter      3,194        

that may be done regardless of the pendency of any such appeal.                 

Any action taken or contract executed pursuant to this chapter     3,195        

during the pendency of such appeal is valid and enforceable among  3,196        

all parties, notwithstanding the decision in such appeal.  If the  3,197        

court of appeals reverses the determination of the existence of a  3,198        

fiscal emergency condition by the auditor of state, the            3,199        

determination no longer has any effect, and any procedures         3,200        

undertaken as a result of the determination shall be terminated.   3,201

      (1)  Subtract the amount of state basic aid from the amount  3,335        

of fundamental FY 1998 state aid.  If a negative number, this      3,336        

computation shall be deemed to be zero.                            3,337

for each district the sum of the district's state basic aid for    3,367        

fiscal year 1999 plus the transportation portion of state aid      3,369        

computed under division (D) of section 3317.022 of the Revised     3,372        

Code for the district for fiscal year 1999.  If a district's       3,373        

enhanced FY 1998 state aid is greater than that sum, then the      3,374

      (E)  In each school of each city, local, exempted village,   3,603

shall accurately show, for each day the school is in session, the  3,606        

actual membership enrolled in regular day classes.  For the        3,607        

purpose of determining average daily membership, the membership    3,608        

figure of any school shall not include any pupils except those     3,609        

pupils described by division (A) of this section.  The record of   3,611

actual date of entry in the school and also in such manner that    3,614        

where for any cause a pupil permanently withdraws from the school  3,615        

that pupil shall not be counted as in membership from and after    3,617        

the date of such withdrawal.  There shall not be included in the   3,618

      (4)  Any pupil who has attained the age of twenty-two        3,631        

years, except for the following:                                   3,632        

      (a)  Persons suffering from tuberculosis and receiving       3,634

grade of a public high school;                                     3,637

system of their residence not later than four years after          3,643        

termination of war or their honorable discharge.                   3,644        

      If, however, any veteran described by division (E)(4)(b) of  3,647        

this section elects to enroll in special courses organized for     3,648

membership of any school may include a pupil who did not take a    3,654        

test required by section 3301.0711 of the Revised Code if the      3,655        

superintendent of public instruction grants a waiver from the      3,656

requirement to take the test to the specific pupil.  The           3,657        

superintendent may grant such a waiver only for good cause in      3,658        

accordance with rules adopted by the state board of education.     3,659        

      The average daily membership figure of any local, city, or   3,661        

exempted village school district shall be determined by dividing   3,662        

the figure representing the sum of the number of pupils enrolled   3,663        

during each day the school of attendance is actually open for      3,664        

instruction during the first full school week in October by the    3,666        

total number of days the school was actually open for instruction  3,667        

during that week.  For purposes of state funding, "enrolled"       3,668        

persons are only those pupils who are attending school, those who  3,669        

have attended school during the current school year and are        3,670        

absent for authorized reasons, and those handicapped children      3,671        

currently receiving home instruction.                              3,672        

      The average daily membership figure of any joint vocational  3,674        

or cooperative education school district shall be determined in    3,675        

accordance with rules adopted by the state board of education.     3,676        

      (F)(1)  If the formula ADM for the first full school week    3,679        

in February is at least three per cent greater than that           3,680        

certified for the first full school week in the preceding          3,681        

October, the superintendent of schools of any city or exempted     3,682        

village school district or educational service center shall        3,683        

certify such increase to the superintendent of public              3,684        

instruction.  Such certification shall be submitted no later than  3,685        

the fifteenth day of February.  For the balance of the fiscal      3,686        

year, beginning with the February payments, the superintendent of  3,687        

public instruction shall use the increased formula ADM in          3,689        

calculating or recalculating the amounts to be allocated in                     

accordance with section 3317.022 of the Revised Code.  In no       3,692        

event shall the superintendent use an increased membership         3,693        

certified to the superintendent after the fifteenth day of         3,694        

February.                                                                       

      (2)  If during the first full school week in February the    3,696        

total number of units for handicapped preschool children that are  3,699

state board of education determines additional units can be        3,706        

approved for the fiscal year within any limitations set forth in   3,707        

the acts appropriating moneys for the funding of such units, the   3,709        

board shall approve additional units for the fiscal year on the    3,710        

basis of such average daily membership.  For each unit so                       

approved, the department of education shall pay an amount          3,711        

computed in the manner prescribed in section 3317.161 or 3317.19   3,713        

and section 3317.162 of the Revised Code.

the basis of the average daily membership certified.  For each                  

unit approved, the department of education shall pay an amount     3,725        

computed in the manner prescribed by section 3317.16 of the        3,726

there will be little opportunity for public appreciation of works  4,251        

of art in or on the public building, that the value of some        4,252        

features or characteristics inherent in the architectural design   4,253        

of the public building should apply toward the one per cent        4,254

supplied with works of art even without works of art purchased     4,256        

from the council under division (C) of this section.  The          4,257

      Section 19.02.  Local Juvenile Detention Centers             6,041        

      From the foregoing appropriation item CAP-829, Local         6,043        

Juvenile Detention Centers, the Department of Youth Services       6,045        

shall designate the projects involving the construction and        6,046        

renovation of county and multi-county juvenile detention centers   6,047        

for which the Ohio Building Authority is authorized to issue                    

obligations.                                                       6,048        

      The Department of Youth Services is authorized to review     6,050        

and approve the renovation and construction of projects for which  6,051        

funds are provided.  The proceeds of any obligations authorized    6,052        

under this section shall not be applied to any such facilities     6,053        

that are not designated by the Department of Youth Services.       6,054        

      The Department of Youth Services shall comply with the       6,056        

guidelines set forth below, accept and review applications,        6,058        

designate projects, and determine the amount of state match                     

funding to be applied to each project.  The department shall,      6,059        

with the advice of the county or counties participating in a       6,061        

project, determine the funded design capacity of the detention     6,062        

centers that are designated to receive funding.  Notwithstanding   6,063        

any provisions to the contrary contained in Chapter 152. or 153.   6,064        

of the Revised Code, the Department of Youth Services is                        

authorized to coordinate, review, and monitor the drawdown and     6,065        

use of funds for the renovation and construction of projects for   6,066        

which designated funds are provided.                               6,067        

      (A)  The Department of Youth Services shall develop a        6,069        

weighted numerical formula to determine the amount, if any, of     6,070        

state match that may be provided to a single or multi-county       6,071        

detention center project.  The formula shall include the factors   6,072        

specified below in division (A)(1) of this section and may         6,073        

include the factors specified below in division (A)(2) of this                  

section.  The weight assigned to the factors specified in          6,074        

division (A)(1) of this section shall be no less than twice the    6,075        

weight assigned to factors specified in division (A)(2) of this    6,076        

                                                          135    


                                                                 
section:                                                                        

      (1)(a)  The number of detention center beds needed in the    6,078        

county or group of counties, as estimated by the Department of     6,080        

Youth Services, is significantly more than the number of beds      6,081        

currently available;                                                            

      (b)  Any existing detention center in the county or group    6,083        

of counties does not meet health, safety, or security standards    6,084        

for detention centers as established by the Department of Youth    6,086        

Services;                                                                       

      (c)  The Department of Youth Services projects that the      6,088        

county or group of counties have a need for a sufficient number    6,090        

of detention beds to make the project economically viable.         6,091        

      (2)(a)  The percentage of children in the county or group    6,093        

of counties living below the poverty level is above the state      6,094        

average;                                                                        

      (b)  The per capita income in the county or group of         6,096        

counties is below the state average.                               6,097        

      (B)  The formula developed by the Department of Youth        6,099        

Services shall yield a percentage of state match ranging from 0    6,100        

per cent to 60 per cent based on the above factors.                6,101        

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if a single county or    6,102        

multi-county system currently has no detention center beds, or if               

the projected need for detention center beds as estimated by the   6,103        

Department of Youth Services is greater than 120 per cent of       6,104        

current detention center bed capacity, then the percentage of      6,105        

state match shall be 60 per cent.  To determine the dollar amount  6,106        

of the state match for new construction projects, the percentage   6,107        

of state match shall be multiplied by $105,000 per bed for         6,108        

detention centers with a designated capacity of 99 beds or less,   6,109        

and by $130,000 per bed for detention centers with a design                     

capacity of 100 beds or more.  To determine the dollar amount of   6,110        

the state match for renovation projects the percentage match       6,111        

shall be multiplied by the actual cost of the renovation,          6,112        

provided that the cost of the renovation does not exceed $80,000   6,113        

                                                          136    


                                                                 
per bed.  The funding authorized under this section that may be                 

applied to a construction or renovation project shall not exceed   6,114        

the actual cost of the project.                                    6,115        

      The funding authorized under this section shall not be       6,117        

applied to any project unless the detention center will be built   6,118        

in compliance with health, safety, and security standards for      6,119        

detention centers as established by the Department of Youth        6,120        

Services.  In addition, the funding authorized under this section               

shall not be applied to the renovation of a detention center       6,121        

unless the renovation is for the purpose of increasing the number  6,122        

of beds in the center, or to meet health, safety, or security      6,123        

standards for detention centers as established by the Department   6,124        

of Youth Services.                                                              

      Section 20.  The Ohio Building Authority is hereby           6,126        

authorized to issue and sell, in accordance with the provisions    6,127

heretofore authorized by prior acts of the General Assembly.       6,132        

These authorized obligations shall be issued to pay the costs      6,133        

associated with previously authorized capital facilities and the   6,134        

capital facilities in Sections 19, 19.01, and 19.02 of this act    6,135

thereon.

      Section 91.  That existing Sections 7, 10, 11, 21.12, 25,    10,464       

                                                          233    


                                                                 
and 30.21 of Am. Sub. S.B. 230 of the 122nd General Assembly are   10,466       

hereby repealed.                                                                

      Section 92.  That Section 140 of Am. Sub. H.B. 215 of the    10,468       

122nd General Assembly is hereby repealed.                         10,469       

      Section 93.  The amendment of sections 901.82 and 901.83 of  10,471       

the Revised Code is not intended to supersede the earlier repeal,  10,472       

with delayed effective date, of those sections.                    10,473       

      Section 94.  If any item of law that constitutes the whole   10,475       

or part of a codified or uncodified section of law contained in    10,476       

this act, or if any application of any item of law that            10,477       

constitutes the whole or part of a codified or uncodified section  10,478       

of law contained in this act, is held invalid, the invalidity      10,479       

does not affect other items of law or applications of items of                  

law that can be given effect without the invalid item of law or    10,480       

application.  To this end, the items of law of which the codified  10,481       

and uncodified sections contained in this act are composed, and    10,482       

their applications, are independent and severable.                 10,483       

      Section 95.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in    10,485       

this act, the codified and uncodified sections of law and items    10,486       

therein contained in this act are subject to the referendum.       10,487       

Therefore, under Ohio Constitution, Article II, Section 1c and     10,488       

section 1.471 of the Revised Code, the codified and uncodified     10,489       

sections of law and items therein contained in this act, except                 

as otherwise specifically provided in this act, take effect on     10,490       

the ninety-first day after this act is filed with the Secretary    10,491       

of State.  If, however, a referendum petition is filed against     10,492       

any such section or item therein, the section or item, unless      10,493       

rejected at the referendum, takes effect at the earliest time      10,494       

permitted by law.                                                               

      Section 96.  Section 127.16 of the Revised Code is           10,496       

presented in this act as a composite of the section as amended by  10,497       

both Am. Sub. H.B. 215 and Sub. H.B. 408 of the 122nd General      10,498       

Assembly, with the new language of neither of the acts shown in    10,500

                                                          234    


                                                                 
in division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised Code that such      10,502       

amendments are to be harmonized where not substantively            10,503       

irreconcilable and constitutes a legislative finding that such is  10,504       

the resulting version in effect prior to the effective date of     10,505       

this act.                                                                       

      Section 97.  Sections 3345.50 and 3345.51 of the Revised     10,507       

Code are presented in this act as composites of the sections as    10,509       

amended by both Am. H.B. 748 and Am. Sub. S.B. 264 of the 121st    10,510       

General Assembly, with the new language of neither of the acts     10,512       

shown in capital letters.  This is in recognition of the           10,513       

principle stated in division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised    10,514       

Code that such amendments are to be harmonized where not           10,515       

substantively irreconcilable and constitutes a legislative         10,516       

finding that such is the resulting version in effect prior to the  10,517       

effective date of this act.
