meetings open to the public at all times. The secretary assigned | 229 |

any specific type of public business will be discussed. Provisions | 251 |

hundred dollars to the party that sought the injunction and shall | 272 |
award to that party all court costs and, subject to reduction as | 273 |
described in this division, reasonable attorney's fees. The court, | 274 |
in its discretion, may reduce an award of attorney's fees to the | 275 |
party that sought the injunction or not award attorney's fees to | 276 |
that party if the court determines both of the following: | 277 |
(i) That, based on the ordinary application of statutory law | 278 |
and case law as it existed at the time of the violation or | 279 |
threatened violation that was the basis of the injunction, a | 280 |
well-informed committee reasonably would believe that the | 281 |
committee was not violating or threatening to violate this | 282 |
section; | 283 |
(ii) That a well-informed committee reasonably would believe | 284 |
that the conduct or threatened conduct that was the basis of the | 285 |
injunction would serve the public policy that underlies the | 286 |
authority that is asserted as permitting that conduct or | 287 |
threatened conduct. | 288 |
(b) If the court of common pleas does not issue an injunction | 289 |
under division (E)(1) of this section and the court determines at | 290 |
that time that the bringing of the action was frivolous conduct as | 291 |
defined in division (A) of section 2323.51 of the Revised Code, | 292 |
the court shall award to the committee all court costs and | 293 |
reasonable attorney's fees, as determined by the court. | 294 |
(3) Irreparable harm and prejudice to the party that sought | 295 |
the injunction shall be conclusively and irrebuttably presumed | 296 |
upon proof of a violation or threatened violation of this section. | 297 |

injunction issued under division (E)(1) of this section may be | 299 |
removed from office by an action brought in the court of common | 300 |
pleas for that purpose by the prosecuting attorney of Franklin | 301 |
county or by the attorney general. | 302 |
(5) The remedies described in divisions (E)(1) to (4) of this | 303 |
section shall be the exclusive remedies for a violation of this | 304 |
section. | 305 |

association or other charitable or fraternal organization that is | 821 |

association or organization, so long as the association or | 825 |
organization itself is listed. | 826 |
(3) A brief description of the executive agency decision to | 827 |

lobbyist and employer shall file with the joint committee, not | 833 |
later than the last day of January, May, and September of each | 834 |
year, an updated registration statement that confirms the | 835 |
continuing existence of each engagement described in an initial | 836 |
registration statement and that lists the specific executive | 837 |
agency decisions that the lobbyist sought to influence under the | 838 |
engagement during the period covered by the updated statement, and | 839 |
with it any statement of expenditures required to be filed by | 840 |
section 121.63 of the Revised Code and any details of financial | 841 |
transactions required to be filed by section 121.64 of the Revised | 842 |
Code. | 843 |
(C) If an executive agency lobbyist is engaged by more than | 844 |
one employer, the lobbyist shall file a separate initial and | 845 |
updated registration statement for each engagement. If an employer | 846 |
engages more than one executive agency lobbyist, the employer need | 847 |
file only one updated registration statement under division (B) of | 848 |
this section, which shall contain the information required by | 849 |
division (B) of this section regarding all of the executive agency | 850 |
lobbyists engaged by the employer. | 851 |
(D)(1) A change in any information required by division | 852 |
(A)(1), (2), or (B) of this section shall be reflected in the next | 853 |
updated registration statement filed under division (B) of this | 854 |
section. | 855 |
(2) Within thirty days following the termination of an | 856 |
engagement, the executive agency lobbyist who was employed under | 857 |
the engagement shall send written notification of the termination | 858 |
to the joint committee. | 859 |
(E) A registration fee of twenty-five dollars shall be | 860 |
charged for filing an initial registration statement. All money | 861 |
collected from | 862 |
late filing fees under division (G) of this section shall be | 863 |
deposited
into the | 864 |
the credit of the joint legislative ethics committee fund created | 865 |

(F) Upon registration pursuant to this section, an executive | 867 |
agency lobbyist shall be issued a card by the joint committee | 868 |
showing that the lobbyist is registered. The registration card and | 869 |
the executive agency lobbyist's registration shall be valid from | 870 |
the date of their issuance until the thirty-first day of January | 871 |
of the year following the year in which the initial registration | 872 |
was filed. | 873 |
(G) The executive director of the joint committee shall be | 874 |
responsible for reviewing each registration statement filed with | 875 |
the joint committee under this section and for determining whether | 876 |
the statement contains all of the required information. If the | 877 |
joint committee determines that the registration statement does | 878 |
not contain all of the required information or that an executive | 879 |
agency lobbyist or employer has failed to file a registration | 880 |
statement, the joint committee shall send written notification by | 881 |
certified mail to the person who filed the registration statement | 882 |
regarding the deficiency in the statement or to the person who | 883 |
failed to file the registration statement regarding the failure. | 884 |
Any person so notified by the joint committee shall, not later | 885 |
than fifteen days after receiving the notice, file a registration | 886 |
statement or an amended registration statement that contains all | 887 |
of the required information. If any person who receives a notice | 888 |
under this division fails to file a registration statement or such | 889 |
an amended registration statement within this fifteen-day period, | 890 |
the joint committee shall assess a late filing fee equal to twelve | 891 |
dollars and fifty cents per day, up to a maximum fee of one | 892 |
hundred dollars, upon that person. The joint committee may waive | 893 |
the late filing fee for good cause shown. | 894 |
(H) On or before the fifteenth day of March of each year, the | 895 |
joint committee shall, in the manner and form that it determines, | 896 |
publish a report containing statistical information on the | 897 |
registration statements filed with it under this section during | 898 |
the preceding year. | 899 |
(I) If an employer who engages an executive agency lobbyist | 900 |
is the recipient of a contract, grant, lease, or other financial | 901 |
arrangement pursuant to which funds of the state or of an | 902 |
executive agency are distributed or allocated, the executive | 903 |
agency or any aggrieved party may consider the failure of the | 904 |
employer or the executive agency lobbyist to comply with this | 905 |
section as a breach of a material condition of the contract, | 906 |
grant, lease, or other financial arrangement. | 907 |
(J) Executive agency officials may require certification from | 908 |
any person seeking the award of a contract, grant, lease, or | 909 |
financial arrangement that the person and the person's employer | 910 |
are in compliance with this section. | 911 |
Sec. 122.17. (A) As used in this section: | 912 |
(1) "Full-time employee" means an individual who is employed | 913 |
for consideration for at least an average of thirty-five hours a | 914 |
week | 915 |
accepted by custom or specified by contract as full-time | 916 |
employment, or who is employed for consideration for such time or | 917 |
renders such service but is on active duty reserve or Ohio | 918 |
national guard service. | 919 |
(2) "New employee" means one of the following: | 920 |
(a) A full-time employee first employed by a taxpayer in the | 921 |
project that is the subject of the agreement after the taxpayer | 922 |
enters into a tax credit agreement with the tax credit authority | 923 |
under this section; | 924 |
(b) A full-time employee first employed by a taxpayer in the | 925 |
project that is the subject of the tax credit after the tax credit | 926 |
authority approves a project for a tax credit under this section | 927 |
in a public meeting, as long as the taxpayer enters into the tax | 928 |
credit agreement prepared by the department of development after | 929 |
such meeting within sixty days after receiving the agreement from | 930 |
the department. If the taxpayer fails to enter into the agreement | 931 |
within sixty days, "new employee" has the same meaning as under | 932 |
division (A)(2)(a) of this section. A full-time employee may be | 933 |
considered a "new employee" of a taxpayer, despite previously | 934 |
having been employed by a related member of the taxpayer, if all | 935 |
of the following apply: | 936 |
(i) The related member is a party to the tax credit agreement | 937 |
at the time the employee is first employed with the taxpayer; | 938 |
(ii) The related member will remain subject to the tax | 939 |
imposed by section 5725.18, 5729.03, 5733.06, or 5747.02 or levied | 940 |
under Chapter 5751. of the Revised Code for the remainder of the | 941 |
term of the tax credit, and the tax credit is taken against | 942 |
liability for that same tax through the remainder of the term of | 943 |
the tax credit; and | 944 |
(iii) The employee was considered a new employee of the | 945 |
related member prior to employment with the taxpayer. | 946 |
Under division (A)(2)(a) or (b) of this section, if the tax | 947 |
credit authority determines it appropriate, "new employee" also | 948 |
may include an employee re-hired or called back from lay-off to | 949 |
work in a new facility or on a new product or service established | 950 |
or produced by the taxpayer after entering into the agreement | 951 |
under this section or after the tax credit authority approves the | 952 |
tax credit in a public meeting. Except as otherwise provided in | 953 |
this paragraph, "new employee" does not include any employee of | 954 |
the taxpayer who was previously employed in this state by a | 955 |
related member of the taxpayer and whose employment was shifted to | 956 |
the taxpayer after the taxpayer entered into the tax credit | 957 |
agreement or after the tax credit authority approved the credit in | 958 |
a public meeting, or any employee of the taxpayer for which the | 959 |
taxpayer has been granted a certificate under division (B) of | 960 |
section 5709.66 of the Revised Code. However, if the taxpayer is | 961 |
engaged in the enrichment and commercialization of uranium or | 962 |
uranium products or is engaged in research and development | 963 |
activities related thereto and if the tax credit authority | 964 |
determines it appropriate, "new employee" may include an employee | 965 |
of the taxpayer who was previously employed in this state by a | 966 |
related member of the taxpayer and whose employment was shifted to | 967 |
the taxpayer after the taxpayer entered into the tax credit | 968 |
agreement or after the tax credit authority approved the credit in | 969 |
a public meeting. "New employee" does not include an employee of | 970 |
the taxpayer who is employed in an employment position that was | 971 |
relocated to a project from other operations of the taxpayer in | 972 |
this state or from operations of a related member of the taxpayer | 973 |
in this state. In addition, "new employee" does not include a | 974 |
child, grandchild, parent, or spouse, other than a spouse who is | 975 |
legally separated from the individual, of any individual who is an | 976 |
employee of the taxpayer and who has a direct or indirect | 977 |
ownership interest of at least five per cent in the profits, | 978 |
capital, or value of the taxpayer. Such ownership interest shall | 979 |
be determined in accordance with section 1563 of the Internal | 980 |
Revenue Code and regulations prescribed thereunder. | 981 |
(3) "New income tax revenue" means the total amount withheld | 982 |
under section 5747.06 of the Revised Code by the taxpayer during | 983 |
the taxable year, or during the calendar year that includes the | 984 |
tax period, from the compensation of new employees for the tax | 985 |
levied under Chapter 5747. of the Revised Code. | 986 |
(4) "Related member" has the same meaning as under division | 987 |
(A)(6) of section 5733.042 of the Revised Code without regard to | 988 |
division (B) of that section. | 989 |
(B) The tax credit authority may make grants under this | 990 |
section to foster job creation in this state. Such a grant shall | 991 |
take the form of a refundable credit allowed against the tax | 992 |
imposed by section 5725.18, 5729.03, 5733.06, or 5747.02 or levied | 993 |
under Chapter 5751. of the Revised Code. The credit shall be | 994 |
claimed for the taxable years or tax periods specified in the | 995 |
taxpayer's agreement with the tax credit authority under division | 996 |
(D) of this section. With respect to taxes imposed under section | 997 |
5733.06 or 5747.02 or Chapter 5751. of the Revised Code, the | 998 |
credit shall be claimed in the order required under section | 999 |
5733.98, 5747.98, or 5751.98 of the Revised Code. The amount of | 1000 |
the credit available for a taxable year or for a calendar year | 1001 |
that includes a tax period equals the new income tax revenue for | 1002 |
that year multiplied by the percentage specified in the agreement | 1003 |
with the tax credit authority. Any credit granted under this | 1004 |
section against the tax imposed by section 5733.06 or 5747.02 of | 1005 |
the Revised Code, to the extent not fully utilized against such | 1006 |
tax for taxable years ending prior to 2008, shall automatically be | 1007 |
converted without any action taken by the tax credit authority to | 1008 |
a credit against the tax levied under Chapter 5751. of the Revised | 1009 |
Code for tax periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008, provided | 1010 |
that the person to whom the credit was granted is subject to such | 1011 |
tax. The converted credit shall apply to those calendar years in | 1012 |
which the remaining taxable years specified in the agreement end. | 1013 |
(C) A taxpayer or potential taxpayer who proposes a project | 1014 |
to create new jobs in this state may apply to the tax credit | 1015 |
authority to enter into an agreement for a tax credit under this | 1016 |
section. The director of development shall prescribe the form of | 1017 |
the application. After receipt of an application, the authority | 1018 |
may enter into an agreement with the taxpayer for a credit under | 1019 |
this section if it determines all of the following: | 1020 |
(1) The taxpayer's project will create new jobs in this | 1021 |
state; | 1022 |
(2) The taxpayer's project is economically sound and will | 1023 |
benefit the people of this state by increasing opportunities for | 1024 |
employment and strengthening the economy of this state; | 1025 |
(3) Receiving the tax credit is a major factor in the | 1026 |
taxpayer's decision to go forward with the project. | 1027 |
(D) An agreement under this section shall include all of the | 1028 |
following: | 1029 |
(1) A detailed description of the project that is the subject | 1030 |
of the agreement; | 1031 |
(2) The term of the tax credit, which shall not exceed | 1032 |
fifteen years, and the first taxable year, or first calendar year | 1033 |
that includes a tax period, for which the credit may be claimed; | 1034 |
(3) A requirement that the taxpayer shall maintain operations | 1035 |
at the project location for at least twice the number of years as | 1036 |
the term of the tax credit; | 1037 |
(4) The percentage, as determined by the tax credit | 1038 |
authority, of new income tax revenue that will be allowed as the | 1039 |
amount of the credit for each taxable year or for each calendar | 1040 |
year that includes a tax period; | 1041 |
(5) A specific method for determining how many new employees | 1042 |
are employed during a taxable year or during a calendar year that | 1043 |
includes a tax period; | 1044 |
(6) A requirement that the taxpayer annually shall report to | 1045 |
the director of development the number of new employees, the new | 1046 |
income tax revenue withheld in connection with the new employees, | 1047 |
and any other information the director needs to perform the | 1048 |
director's duties under this section; | 1049 |
(7) A requirement that the director of development annually | 1050 |
shall verify the amounts reported under division (D)(6) of this | 1051 |
section, and after doing so shall issue a certificate to the | 1052 |
taxpayer stating that the amounts have been verified; | 1053 |
(8)(a) A provision requiring that the taxpayer, except as | 1054 |
otherwise provided in division (D)(8)(b) of this section, shall | 1055 |
not relocate employment positions from elsewhere in this state to | 1056 |
the project site that is the subject of the agreement for the | 1057 |
lesser of five years from the date the agreement is entered into | 1058 |
or the number of years the taxpayer is entitled to claim the tax | 1059 |
credit. | 1060 |
(b) The taxpayer may relocate employment positions from | 1061 |
elsewhere in this state to the project site that is the subject of | 1062 |
the agreement if the director of development determines both of | 1063 |
the following: | 1064 |
(i) That the site from which the employment positions would | 1065 |
be relocated is inadequate to meet market and industry conditions, | 1066 |
expansion plans, consolidation plans, or other business | 1067 |
considerations affecting the taxpayer; | 1068 |
(ii) That the legislative authority of the county, township, | 1069 |
or municipal corporation from which the employment positions would | 1070 |
be relocated has been notified of the relocation. | 1071 |
For purposes of this section, the movement of an employment | 1072 |
position from one political subdivision to another political | 1073 |
subdivision shall be considered a relocation of an employment | 1074 |
position, but the transfer of an individual employee from one | 1075 |
political subdivision to another political subdivision shall not | 1076 |
be considered a relocation of an employment position as long as | 1077 |
the individual's employment position in the first political | 1078 |
subdivision is refilled. | 1079 |
(E) If a taxpayer fails to meet or comply with any condition | 1080 |
or requirement set forth in a tax credit agreement, the tax credit | 1081 |
authority may amend the agreement to reduce the percentage or term | 1082 |
of the tax credit. The reduction of the percentage or term shall | 1083 |
take effect (1) in the taxable year immediately following the | 1084 |
taxable year in which the authority amends the agreement or the | 1085 |
director of development notifies the taxpayer in writing of such | 1086 |
failure, or (2) in the first tax period beginning in the calendar | 1087 |
year immediately following the calendar year in which the | 1088 |
authority amends the agreement or the director notifies the | 1089 |
taxpayer in writing of such failure. If the taxpayer fails to | 1090 |
annually report any of the information required by division (D)(6) | 1091 |
of this section within the time required by the director, the | 1092 |
reduction of the percentage or term may take effect in the current | 1093 |
taxable year. If the taxpayer relocates employment positions in | 1094 |
violation of the provision required under division (D)(8)(a) of | 1095 |
this section, the taxpayer shall not claim the tax credit under | 1096 |
section 5733.0610 of the Revised Code for any tax years following | 1097 |
the calendar year in which the relocation occurs, or shall not | 1098 |
claim the tax credit under section 5725.32, 5729.032, or 5747.058 | 1099 |
of the Revised Code for the taxable year in which the relocation | 1100 |
occurs and any subsequent taxable years, and shall not claim the | 1101 |
tax credit under division (A) of section 5751.50 of the Revised | 1102 |
Code for any tax period in the calendar year in which the | 1103 |
relocation occurs and any subsequent tax periods. | 1104 |
(F) Projects that consist solely of point-of-final-purchase | 1105 |
retail facilities are not eligible for a tax credit under this | 1106 |
section. If a project consists of both point-of-final-purchase | 1107 |
retail facilities and nonretail facilities, only the portion of | 1108 |
the project consisting of the nonretail facilities is eligible for | 1109 |
a tax credit and only the new income tax revenue from new | 1110 |
employees of the nonretail facilities shall be considered when | 1111 |
computing the amount of the tax credit. If a warehouse facility is | 1112 |
part of a point-of-final-purchase retail facility and supplies | 1113 |
only that facility, the warehouse facility is not eligible for a | 1114 |
tax credit. Catalog distribution centers are not considered | 1115 |
point-of-final-purchase retail facilities for the purposes of this | 1116 |
division, and are eligible for tax credits under this section. | 1117 |
(G) Financial statements and other information submitted to | 1118 |
the department of development or the tax credit authority by an | 1119 |
applicant or recipient of a tax credit under this section, and any | 1120 |
information taken for any purpose from such statements or | 1121 |
information, are not public records subject to section 149.43 of | 1122 |
the Revised Code. However, the chairperson of the authority may | 1123 |
make use of the statements and other information for purposes of | 1124 |
issuing public reports or in connection with court proceedings | 1125 |
concerning tax credit agreements under this section. Upon the | 1126 |
request of the tax commissioner or, if the applicant or recipient | 1127 |
is an insurance company, upon the request of the superintendent of | 1128 |
insurance, the chairperson of the authority shall provide to the | 1129 |
commissioner or superintendent any statement or information | 1130 |
submitted by an applicant or recipient of a tax credit in | 1131 |
connection with the credit. The commissioner or superintendent | 1132 |
shall preserve the confidentiality of the statement or | 1133 |
information. | 1134 |
(H) A taxpayer claiming a credit under this section shall | 1135 |
submit to the tax commissioner or, if the taxpayer is an insurance | 1136 |
company, to the superintendent of insurance, a copy of the | 1137 |
director of development's certificate of verification under | 1138 |
division (D)(7) of this section with the taxpayer's tax report or | 1139 |
return for the taxable year or for the calendar year that includes | 1140 |
the tax period. Failure to submit a copy of the certificate with | 1141 |
the report or return does not invalidate a claim for a credit if | 1142 |
the taxpayer submits a copy of the certificate to the commissioner | 1143 |
or superintendent within sixty days after the commissioner or | 1144 |
superintendent requests it. | 1145 |
(I) The director of development, after consultation with the | 1146 |
tax commissioner and the superintendent of insurance and in | 1147 |
accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, shall adopt | 1148 |
rules necessary to implement this section. The rules may provide | 1149 |
for recipients of tax credits under this section to be charged | 1150 |
fees to cover administrative costs of the tax credit program. At | 1151 |
the time the director gives public notice under division (A) of | 1152 |
section 119.03 of the Revised Code of the adoption of the rules, | 1153 |
the director shall submit copies of the proposed rules to the | 1154 |
chairpersons of the standing committees on economic development in | 1155 |

(J) For the purposes of this section, a taxpayer may include | 1157 |
a partnership, a corporation that has made an election under | 1158 |
subchapter S of chapter one of subtitle A of the Internal Revenue | 1159 |
Code, or any other business entity through which income flows as a | 1160 |
distributive share to its owners. A credit received under this | 1161 |
section by a partnership, S-corporation, or other such business | 1162 |
entity shall be apportioned among the persons to whom the income | 1163 |
or profit of the partnership, S-corporation, or other entity is | 1164 |
distributed, in the same proportions as those in which the income | 1165 |
or profit is distributed. | 1166 |
(K) If the director of development determines that a taxpayer | 1167 |
who has received a credit under this section is not complying with | 1168 |
the requirement under division (D)(3) of this section, the | 1169 |
director shall notify the tax credit authority of the | 1170 |
noncompliance. After receiving such a notice, and after giving the | 1171 |
taxpayer an opportunity to explain the noncompliance, the tax | 1172 |
credit authority may require the taxpayer to refund to this state | 1173 |
a portion of the credit in accordance with the following: | 1174 |
(1) If the taxpayer maintained operations at the project | 1175 |
location for at least one and one-half times the number of years | 1176 |
of the term of the tax credit, an amount not exceeding twenty-five | 1177 |
per cent of the sum of any previously allowed credits under this | 1178 |
section; | 1179 |
(2) If the taxpayer maintained operations at the project | 1180 |
location for at least the number of years of the term of the tax | 1181 |
credit, an amount not exceeding fifty per cent of the sum of any | 1182 |
previously allowed credits under this section; | 1183 |
(3) If the taxpayer maintained operations at the project | 1184 |
location for less than the number of years of the term of the tax | 1185 |
credit, an amount not exceeding one hundred per cent of the sum of | 1186 |
any previously allowed credits under this section. | 1187 |
In determining the portion of the tax credit to be refunded | 1188 |
to this state, the tax credit authority shall consider the effect | 1189 |
of market conditions on the taxpayer's project and whether the | 1190 |
taxpayer continues to maintain other operations in this state. | 1191 |
After making the determination, the authority shall certify the | 1192 |
amount to be refunded to the tax commissioner or superintendent of | 1193 |
insurance, as appropriate. If the amount is certified to the | 1194 |
commissioner, the commissioner shall make an assessment for that | 1195 |
amount against the taxpayer under Chapter 5733., 5747., or 5751. | 1196 |
of the Revised Code. If the amount is certified to the | 1197 |
superintendent, the superintendent shall make an assessment for | 1198 |
that amount against the taxpayer under Chapter 5725. or 5729. of | 1199 |
the Revised Code. The time limitations on assessments under those | 1200 |
chapters do not apply to an assessment under this division, but | 1201 |
the commissioner or superintendent, as appropriate, shall make the | 1202 |
assessment within one year after the date the authority certifies | 1203 |
to the commissioner or superintendent the amount to be refunded. | 1204 |
(L) On or before the thirty-first day of March each year, the | 1205 |
director of development shall submit a report to the governor, the | 1206 |
president of the senate, and the speaker of the house of | 1207 |
representatives on the tax credit program under this section. The | 1208 |
report shall include information on the number of agreements that | 1209 |
were entered into under this section during the preceding calendar | 1210 |
year, a description of the project that is the subject of each | 1211 |
such agreement, and an update on the status of projects under | 1212 |
agreements entered into before the preceding calendar year. | 1213 |
(M) There is hereby created the tax credit authority, which | 1214 |
consists of the director of development and four other members | 1215 |
appointed as follows: the governor, the president of the senate, | 1216 |
and the speaker of the house of representatives each shall appoint | 1217 |
one member who shall be a specialist in economic development; the | 1218 |
governor also shall appoint a member who is a specialist in | 1219 |
taxation. Of the initial appointees, the members appointed by the | 1220 |
governor shall serve a term of two years; the members appointed by | 1221 |
the president of the senate and the speaker of the house of | 1222 |
representatives shall serve a term of four years. Thereafter, | 1223 |

the authority shall be made within thirty days after January 13, | 1225 |

the term for which the member was appointed. Vacancies shall be | 1227 |
filled in the same manner provided for original appointments. Any | 1228 |
member appointed to fill a vacancy occurring prior to the | 1229 |
expiration of the term for which the member's predecessor was | 1230 |
appointed shall hold office for the remainder of that term. | 1231 |
Members may be reappointed to the authority. Members of the | 1232 |
authority shall receive their necessary and actual expenses while | 1233 |
engaged in the business of the authority. The director of | 1234 |
development shall serve as chairperson of the authority, and the | 1235 |
members annually shall elect a vice-chairperson from among | 1236 |
themselves. Three members of the authority constitute a quorum to | 1237 |
transact and vote on the business of the authority. The majority | 1238 |
vote of the membership of the authority is necessary to approve | 1239 |
any such business, including the election of the vice-chairperson. | 1240 |
The director of development may appoint a professional | 1241 |
employee of the department of development to serve as the | 1242 |
director's substitute at a meeting of the authority. The director | 1243 |
shall make the appointment in writing. In the absence of the | 1244 |
director from a meeting of the authority, the appointed substitute | 1245 |
shall serve as chairperson. In the absence of both the director | 1246 |
and the director's substitute from a meeting, the vice-chairperson | 1247 |
shall serve as chairperson. | 1248 |

section, but in no event shall the credit be claimed for a taxable | 1381 |

extent not fully utilized against such tax for taxable years | 1385 |
ending prior to 2008, shall automatically be converted without any | 1386 |
action taken by the tax credit authority to a credit against the | 1387 |

beginning on or after July 1, 2008, provided that the person to | 1389 |
whom the credit was granted is subject to such tax. The converted | 1390 |
credit shall apply to those calendar years in which the remaining | 1391 |
taxable years specified in the agreement end. | 1392 |

credit authority may also include in the agreement. | 1395 |

(C) A taxpayer that proposes a capital investment project to | 1399 |
retain jobs in this state may apply to the tax credit authority to | 1400 |
enter into an agreement for a tax credit under this section. The | 1401 |
director of development shall prescribe the form of the | 1402 |
application. After receipt of an application, the authority shall | 1403 |
forward copies of the application to the director of budget and | 1404 |
management, the tax commissioner, and the director of development, | 1405 |

economic impact the proposed project would have on the state and | 1407 |
the affected political subdivisions and shall submit a summary of | 1408 |
their determinations and recommendations to the authority. | 1409 |
(D) Upon review of the determinations and recommendations | 1410 |
described in division (C) of this section, the tax credit | 1411 |

(1) The taxpayer's capital investment project will result in | 1415 |
the retention of full-time employment positions in this state. | 1416 |

complete the proposed capital investment project. | 1418 |
(3) The taxpayer intends to and has the ability to maintain | 1419 |

(4) Receiving the credit is a major factor in the taxpayer's | 1422 |
decision to begin, continue with, or complete the project. | 1423 |
(5) The political subdivisions in which the project is | 1424 |
located have agreed to provide substantial financial support to | 1425 |
the project. | 1426 |

following: | 1428 |

employees in full-time employment positions at the project site | 1445 |
during the entire term of any agreement, subject to division | 1446 |
(E)(7) of this section. | 1447 |
(6) A requirement that the taxpayer annually report to the | 1448 |
director of development the number of full-time employment | 1449 |
positions subject to the credit, the amount of tax withheld from | 1450 |
employees in those positions, the amount of the payments made for | 1451 |
the capital investment project, and any other information the | 1452 |
director needs to perform the director's duties under this | 1453 |
section. | 1454 |
(7) A requirement that the director of development annually | 1455 |
review the annual reports of the taxpayer to verify the | 1456 |
information reported under division (E)(6) of this section and | 1457 |
compliance with the agreement. Upon verification, the director | 1458 |
shall issue a certificate to the taxpayer stating that the | 1459 |
information has been verified and identifying the amount of the | 1460 |
credit for the taxable year. Unless otherwise specified by the tax | 1461 |
credit authority in a resolution and included as part of the | 1462 |
agreement, the director shall not issue a certificate for any year | 1463 |
in which the total number of filled full-time employment positions | 1464 |

In determining the number of full-time employment positions, no | 1468 |

included in the calculation of a tax credit under section 122.17 | 1470 |
of the Revised Code. | 1471 |
(8)(a) A provision requiring that the taxpayer, except as | 1472 |
otherwise provided in division (E)(8)(b) of this section, shall | 1473 |
not relocate employment positions from elsewhere in this state to | 1474 |
the project site that is the subject of the agreement for the | 1475 |
lesser of five years from the date the agreement is entered into | 1476 |
or the number of years the taxpayer is entitled to claim the | 1477 |
credit. | 1478 |
(b) The taxpayer may relocate employment positions from | 1479 |
elsewhere in this state to the project site that is the subject of | 1480 |
the agreement if the director of development determines both of | 1481 |
the following: | 1482 |
(i) That the site from which the employment positions would | 1483 |
be relocated is inadequate to meet market and industry conditions, | 1484 |
expansion plans, consolidation plans, or other business | 1485 |
considerations affecting the taxpayer; | 1486 |
(ii) That the legislative authority of the county, township, | 1487 |
or municipal corporation from which the employment positions would | 1488 |
be relocated has been notified of the relocation. | 1489 |
For purposes of this section, the movement of an employment | 1490 |
position from one political subdivision to another political | 1491 |
subdivision shall be considered a relocation of an employment | 1492 |
position unless the movement is confined to the project site. The | 1493 |
transfer of an individual employee from one political subdivision | 1494 |
to another political subdivision shall not be considered a | 1495 |
relocation of an employment position as long as the individual's | 1496 |
employment position in the first political subdivision is | 1497 |
refilled. | 1498 |
(9) A waiver by the taxpayer of any limitations periods | 1499 |
relating to assessments or adjustments resulting from the | 1500 |
taxpayer's failure to comply with the agreement. | 1501 |
(F) If a taxpayer fails to meet or comply with any condition | 1502 |
or requirement set forth in a tax credit agreement, the tax credit | 1503 |
authority may amend the agreement to reduce the percentage or term | 1504 |
of the credit. The reduction of the percentage or term shall take | 1505 |
effect in the taxable year immediately following the taxable year | 1506 |
in which the authority amends the agreement or the director of | 1507 |
development notifies the taxpayer in writing of such failure, or | 1508 |
in the first tax period beginning in the calendar year immediately | 1509 |
following the calendar year in which the authority amends the | 1510 |
agreement or the director notifies the taxpayer in writing of such | 1511 |
failure. If the taxpayer fails to annually report any of the | 1512 |
information required by division (E)(6) of this section within the | 1513 |
time required by the director, the reduction of the percentage or | 1514 |
term may take effect in the current taxable year. If the taxpayer | 1515 |
relocates employment positions in violation of the provision | 1516 |
required under division (D)(8)(a) of this section, the taxpayer | 1517 |
shall not claim the tax credit under section 5733.0610 of the | 1518 |
Revised Code for any tax years following the calendar year in | 1519 |
which the relocation occurs, shall not claim the tax credit under | 1520 |
section 5747.058 of the Revised Code for the taxable year in which | 1521 |
the relocation occurs and any subsequent taxable years, and shall | 1522 |
not claim the tax credit under division (A) of section 5751.50 of | 1523 |
the Revised Code for the tax period in which the relocation occurs | 1524 |
and any subsequent tax periods. | 1525 |
(G) Financial statements and other information submitted to | 1526 |
the department of development or the tax credit authority by an | 1527 |
applicant for or recipient of a tax credit under this section, and | 1528 |
any information taken for any purpose from such statements or | 1529 |
information, are not public records subject to section 149.43 of | 1530 |
the Revised Code. However, the chairperson of the authority may | 1531 |
make use of the statements and other information for purposes of | 1532 |
issuing public reports or in connection with court proceedings | 1533 |
concerning tax credit agreements under this section. Upon the | 1534 |
request of the tax commissioner, the chairperson of the authority | 1535 |
shall provide to the commissioner any statement or other | 1536 |
information submitted by an applicant for or recipient of a tax | 1537 |
credit in connection with the credit. The commissioner shall | 1538 |
preserve the confidentiality of the statement or other | 1539 |
information. | 1540 |
(H) A taxpayer claiming a tax credit under this section shall | 1541 |
submit to the tax commissioner a copy of the director of | 1542 |
development's certificate of verification under division (E)(7) of | 1543 |
this section with the taxpayer's tax report or return for the | 1544 |
taxable year or for the calendar year that includes the tax | 1545 |
period. Failure to submit a copy of the certificate with the | 1546 |
report or return does not invalidate a claim for a credit if the | 1547 |
taxpayer submits a copy of the certificate to the commissioner | 1548 |
within sixty days after the commissioner requests it. | 1549 |
(I) For the purposes of this section, a taxpayer may include | 1550 |
a partnership, a corporation that has made an election under | 1551 |
subchapter S of chapter one of subtitle A of the Internal Revenue | 1552 |
Code, or any other business entity through which income flows as a | 1553 |
distributive share to its owners. A tax credit received under this | 1554 |
section by a partnership, S-corporation, or other such business | 1555 |
entity shall be apportioned among the persons to whom the income | 1556 |
or profit of the partnership, S-corporation, or other entity is | 1557 |
distributed, in the same proportions as those in which the income | 1558 |
or profit is distributed. | 1559 |
(J) If the director of development determines that a taxpayer | 1560 |
that received a tax credit under this section is not complying | 1561 |
with the requirement under division (E)(4) of this section, the | 1562 |
director shall notify the tax credit authority of the | 1563 |
noncompliance. After receiving such a notice, and after giving the | 1564 |
taxpayer an opportunity to explain the noncompliance, the | 1565 |
authority may terminate the agreement and require the taxpayer to | 1566 |
refund to the state all or a portion of the credit claimed in | 1567 |
previous years, as follows: | 1568 |
(1) If the taxpayer maintained operations at the project site | 1569 |
for less than the term of the credit, the amount required to be | 1570 |
refunded shall not exceed the amount of any tax credits previously | 1571 |
allowed and received under this section. | 1572 |
(2) If the taxpayer maintained operations at the project site | 1573 |
longer than the term of the credit but less than one and one-half | 1574 |
times the term of the credit, the amount required to be refunded | 1575 |
shall not exceed fifty per cent of the sum of any tax credits | 1576 |
previously allowed and received under this section. | 1577 |
(3) If the taxpayer maintained operations at the project site | 1578 |
for at least one and one-half times the term of the credit but | 1579 |
less than twice the term of the credit, the amount required to be | 1580 |
refunded shall not exceed twenty-five per cent of the sum of any | 1581 |
tax credits previously allowed and received under this section. | 1582 |
In determining the portion of the credit to be refunded to | 1583 |
this state, the authority shall consider the effect of market | 1584 |
conditions on the taxpayer's project and whether the taxpayer | 1585 |
continues to maintain other operations in this state. After making | 1586 |
the determination, the authority shall certify the amount to be | 1587 |
refunded to the tax commissioner. The commissioner shall make an | 1588 |
assessment for that amount against the taxpayer under Chapter | 1589 |
5733., 5747., or 5751. of the Revised Code. The time limitations | 1590 |
on assessments under those chapters do not apply to an assessment | 1591 |
under this division, but the commissioner shall make the | 1592 |
assessment within one year after the date the authority certifies | 1593 |
to the commissioner the amount to be refunded. | 1594 |
If the director of development determines that a taxpayer | 1595 |
that received a tax credit under this section has reduced the | 1596 |
number of employees agreed to under division (E)(5) of this | 1597 |
section by more than ten per cent, the director shall notify the | 1598 |
tax credit authority of the noncompliance. After receiving such | 1599 |
notice, and after providing the taxpayer an opportunity to explain | 1600 |
the noncompliance, the authority may amend the agreement to reduce | 1601 |
the percentage or term of the tax credit. The reduction in the | 1602 |
percentage or term shall take effect in the taxable year, or in | 1603 |
the calendar year that includes the tax period, in which the | 1604 |
authority amends the agreement. | 1605 |
(K) The director of development, after consultation with the | 1606 |
tax commissioner and in accordance with Chapter 119. of the | 1607 |
Revised Code, shall adopt rules necessary to implement this | 1608 |
section. The rules may provide for recipients of tax credits under | 1609 |
this section to be charged fees to cover administrative costs of | 1610 |
the tax credit program. At the time the director gives public | 1611 |
notice under division (A) of section 119.03 of the Revised Code of | 1612 |
the adoption of the rules, the director shall submit copies of the | 1613 |
proposed rules to the chairpersons of the standing committees on | 1614 |
economic development in the senate and the house of | 1615 |
representatives. | 1616 |
(L) On or before the thirty-first day of March of each year, | 1617 |
the director of development shall submit a report to the governor, | 1618 |
the president of the senate, and the speaker of the house of | 1619 |
representatives on the tax credit program under this section. The | 1620 |
report shall include information on the number of agreements that | 1621 |
were entered into under this section during the preceding calendar | 1622 |
year, a description of the project that is the subject of each | 1623 |
such agreement, and an update on the status of projects under | 1624 |
agreements entered into before the preceding calendar year. | 1625 |
(M)(1) A nonrefundable credit shall be allowed to an | 1626 |
applicable corporation and its related members in an amount equal | 1627 |
to the applicable difference. The credit is in addition to the | 1628 |
credit granted to the corporation or related members under | 1629 |
division (B) of this section. The credit is subject to divisions | 1630 |
(B) to (E) and division (J) of this section. | 1631 |
(2) A person qualifying as an applicable corporation under | 1632 |
this section for a tax year does not necessarily qualify as an | 1633 |
applicable corporation for any other tax year. No person is | 1634 |
entitled to the credit allowed under division (M) of this section | 1635 |
for the tax year immediately following the taxable year during | 1636 |
which the person fails to meet the requirements in divisions | 1637 |
(A)(6)(a)(i) and (A)(6)(b) of this section. No person is entitled | 1638 |
to the credit allowed under division (M) of this section for any | 1639 |
tax year for which the person is not eligible for the credit | 1640 |
provided under division (B) of this section. | 1641 |

conveyed, or transferred to a private entity pursuant to this | 1941 |
section is confidential pursuant to federal law or a section of | 1942 |

Sec. 133.021. The general assembly hereby finds and declares | 1946 |
that the "Tax Reform Act of 1986" (the "Act") establishes a | 1947 |
unified volume ceiling on the aggregate amount of private activity | 1948 |
bonds that can be issued in each state. The amount of the unified | 1949 |
volume ceiling shall be the amount determined as set forth in | 1950 |
section 146(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. | 1951 |
The general assembly further finds and declares that the Act | 1952 |
requires the state to allocate its volume ceiling according to a | 1953 |
specified formula unless a different procedure is established by | 1954 |
the governor or general assembly. | 1955 |
The general assembly further finds and declares that pursuant | 1956 |
to authorization of state legislation the general assembly has, by | 1957 |
division (D)(3) of section 133.02 of the Revised Code, effective | 1958 |
October 30, 1989, provided for delegating such function to the | 1959 |
governor and for further delegation as therein provided, subject | 1960 |
to such prospectively effective actions as may subsequently be | 1961 |
taken by the general assembly. | 1962 |
The general assembly further finds and declares that it | 1963 |
desires to by legislation provide for an efficient, effective, and | 1964 |
equitable procedure under which the state will allocate the | 1965 |
unified volume ceiling. | 1966 |
The general assembly therefore finds and declares that it is | 1967 |
necessary to create the joint select committee on volume cap to | 1968 |
create a process for the allocation of the unified volume ceiling. | 1969 |

selected for the member's knowledge and experience in tax exempt | 1982 |
private activity bonds. The members shall serve at the pleasure of | 1983 |
the appointing authority. A vacancy shall be filled in the same | 1984 |
manner as the original appointment. | 1985 |
(C) The purpose of the committee shall be to maximize the | 1986 |
economic benefits of the unified volume ceiling to all citizens of | 1987 |
the state. To this end, the joint select committee on volume cap | 1988 |
shall: | 1989 |
(1) Set forth procedures for making allocations, reallocation | 1990 |
and carry forward of the state's unified volume ceiling in | 1991 |

(2) Develop strategies for allocating and reallocating the | 1993 |
unified volume ceiling which are designed to maximize the | 1994 |
availability of tax exempt private activity bonds among competing | 1995 |
sectors of the state. | 1996 |
(D) To provide for the orderly and prompt issuance of private | 1997 |
activity bonds, the committee is authorized to allocate the | 1998 |
unified volume ceiling among those governmental units (or other | 1999 |
authorities) in the state having authority to issue tax exempt | 2000 |
private activity bonds. The committee shall reserve a portion of | 2001 |

ceiling allocations and reallocations shall consider the | 2004 |

services from a community mental health agency as defined in | 4602 |

facility licensed under section 5119.22 of the Revised Code. If | 4604 |
the investigation substantiates the charge of abuse or neglect, | 4605 |
the board shall take whatever action it determines is necessary to | 4606 |
correct the situation, including notification of the appropriate | 4607 |
authorities. Upon request, the board shall provide information | 4608 |

process shall be established as part of the contract for services | 4651 |
entered into between a board and a community mental health agency. | 4652 |
The board may establish this process in a way that is most | 4653 |
effective and efficient in meeting local needs. In the case of a | 4654 |
contract with a community mental health facility, as defined in | 4655 |
section 5111.023 of the Revised Code, to provide services listed | 4656 |

this section proposes not to renew the contract or proposes | 4664 |
substantial changes in contract terms, the other party shall be | 4665 |
given written notice at least one hundred twenty days before the | 4666 |
expiration date of the contract. During the first sixty days of | 4667 |
this one hundred twenty-day period, both parties shall attempt to | 4668 |
resolve any dispute through good faith collaboration and | 4669 |
negotiation in order to continue to provide services to persons in | 4670 |
need. If the dispute has not been resolved sixty days before the | 4671 |
expiration date of the contract, either party may notify the | 4672 |
department of mental health of the unresolved dispute. The | 4673 |
director may require both parties to submit the dispute to a third | 4674 |
party with the cost to be shared by the board and the facility or | 4675 |
community mental health agency. The third party shall issue to the | 4676 |
board, the facility or agency, and the department recommendations | 4677 |
on how the dispute may be resolved twenty days prior to the | 4678 |
expiration date of the contract, unless both parties agree to a | 4679 |
time extension. The director shall adopt rules establishing the | 4680 |
procedures of this dispute resolution process. | 4681 |

immediately available and willing to operate such a facility or | 4686 |
provide the service: | 4687 |

facility or provide a community mental health service in order to | 4689 |
provide essential services for the duration of the emergency; | 4690 |
(ii) In a service district with a population of at least one | 4691 |
hundred thousand but less than five hundred thousand, a board may | 4692 |

corporation and the board of township trustees of each township | 4976 |
included in the district consent, by ordinance or resolution, to | 4977 |
the application of those sections of the Revised Code. | 4978 |

district. Any increase in the rate of an income tax that was first | 5173 |
levied within one hundred eighty days after the first meeting of | 5174 |
the board of directors shall be approved by a vote of the electors | 5175 |
of the district, shall be in force for the remaining period of the | 5176 |

for the office of governor at the most recent general election for | 5195 |
the office of governor, is filed with the county auditor of each | 5196 |
such county ordering that a resolution to amend or repeal a prior | 5197 |
resolution levying an income tax be submitted to the electors | 5198 |

auditor of each such county, after ten days and not later than | 5200 |
four p.m. of the seventy-fifth day before the election, shall | 5201 |

contracting parties constituting the district approving the levy | 5212 |
of the tax is required before it may be imposed pursuant to this | 5213 |

if any, to residents of the district for income taxes paid to | 5225 |
other such districts or municipal corporations where the residents | 5226 |

any section of the Revised Code or any charter provision | 5240 |
prohibiting the holding of other public office or employment, and | 5241 |

contract or expenditure of money by any municipal corporation, | 5243 |
township, county, or other political subdivision with which the | 5244 |
member may be connected. No member of a board of directors shall | 5245 |
be disqualified from holding any public office or employment, nor | 5246 |
shall such member forfeit or be disqualified from holding any such | 5247 |

or hear the proceedings of the meeting, participate in the | 5657 |

uses authorized communications equipment under this division is | 5660 |
deemed to be present in person at the meeting whether the meeting | 5661 |
is held at a designated place or solely by means of authorized | 5662 |
communications equipment. The directors may adopt procedures and | 5663 |
guidelines for the use of authorized communications equipment in | 5664 |
connection with a meeting of voting members to permit the | 5665 |

regulations, or (in the case of directors) the bylaws, may be | 5672 |
waived in writing, either before or after the holding of such | 5673 |
meeting, by any member, or by any director, which writing shall be | 5674 |
filed with or entered upon the records of the meeting. A | 5675 |
transmission by authorized communications equipment that contains | 5676 |
a waiver is a writing for purposes of this division. | 5677 |
(B) If a member or director attends a meeting described in | 5678 |
division (A) of this section without protesting prior to or at the | 5679 |
commencement of the meeting, then the lack of proper notice shall | 5680 |

if the director is present in person or by the use of authorized | 5691 |

any of the means of communication described in division (B) of | 5703 |
this section constitutes presence in person of that member at the | 5704 |
meeting. The directors may adopt procedures and guidelines for the | 5705 |
use of authorized communications equipment to permit the | 5706 |
corporation to verify that a person is a voting member and to | 5707 |
maintain a record of any vote. | 5708 |

no member who is a natural person shall vote or act by proxy. | 5710 |

(2) The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting members | 5717 |
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present as provided in | 5718 |

except that no action required by law, the articles, or the | 5721 |
regulations to be authorized or taken by a specified proportion or | 5722 |
number of the voting members or of any class of voting members may | 5723 |
be authorized or taken by a lesser proportion or number. | 5724 |

the articles or the regulations fix the number of directors or | 5736 |
provide the manner in which that number may be fixed or changed by | 5737 |
the voting members, the number may be fixed or changed at a | 5738 |
meeting of the voting members called for the purpose of electing | 5739 |
directors, if a quorum is present, by the affirmative vote of a | 5740 |

section. | 6897 |
(D)(1) As used in this division: | 6898 |
(a) "Daily bus miles per student" equals the number of bus | 6899 |
miles traveled per day, divided by transportation base. | 6900 |
(b) "Transportation base" equals total student count as | 6901 |
defined in section 3301.011 of the Revised Code, minus the number | 6902 |

in a finding that an average efficient transportation use cost per | 6912 |
student can be calculated by means of a regression formula that | 6913 |
has as its two independent variables the number of daily bus miles | 6914 |
per student and the transported student percentage. For fiscal | 6915 |
year 1998 transportation cost data, the average efficient | 6916 |
transportation use cost per student is expressed as follows: | 6917 |
6918 |
6919 |
The department of education shall annually determine the | 6920 |
average efficient transportation use cost per student in | 6921 |
accordance with the principles stated in division (D)(2) of this | 6922 |
section, updating the intercept and regression coefficients of the | 6923 |
regression formula modeled in this division, based on an annual | 6924 |
statewide analysis of each school district's daily bus miles per | 6925 |
student, transported student percentage, and transportation cost | 6926 |
per student data. The department shall conduct the annual update | 6927 |
using data, including daily bus miles per student, transported | 6928 |
student percentage, and transportation cost per student data, from | 6929 |
the prior fiscal year. The department shall notify the office of | 6930 |
budget and management of such update by the fifteenth day of | 6931 |
February of each year. | 6932 |
(3) In addition to funds paid under divisions (A), (C), and | 6933 |
(E) of this section, each district with a transported student | 6934 |
percentage greater than zero shall receive a payment equal to a | 6935 |
percentage of the product of the district's transportation base | 6936 |
from the prior fiscal year times the annually updated average | 6937 |
efficient transportation use cost per student, times an inflation | 6938 |
factor of two and eight tenths per cent to account for the | 6939 |
one-year difference between the data used in updating the formula | 6940 |
and calculating the payment and the year in which the payment is | 6941 |
made. The percentage shall be the following percentage of that | 6942 |
product specified for the corresponding fiscal year: | 6943 |
FISCAL YEAR | PERCENTAGE | 6944 | |||
2000 | 52.5% | 6945 | |||
2001 | 55% | 6946 | |||
2002 | 57.5% | 6947 | |||
2003 and thereafter | The greater of 60% or the district's state share percentage | 6948 |
The payments made under division (D)(3) of this section each | 6949 |
year shall be calculated based on all of the same prior year's | 6950 |
data used to update the formula. | 6951 |
(4) In addition to funds paid under divisions (D)(2) and (3) | 6952 |
of this section, a school district shall receive a rough road | 6953 |
subsidy if both of the following apply: | 6954 |

statewide rough road percentage, as those terms are defined in | 6956 |
division (D)(5) of this section; | 6957 |
(b) Its district student density is lower than the statewide | 6958 |
student density, as those terms are defined in that division. | 6959 |
(5) The rough road subsidy paid to each district meeting the | 6960 |
qualifications of division (D)(4) of this section shall be | 6961 |
calculated in accordance with the following formula: | 6962 |
6963 |
6964 |
where: | 6965 |
(a) "Per rough mile subsidy" equals the amount calculated in | 6966 |
accordance with the following formula: | 6967 |

the school district's poverty percentage by the statewide poverty | 7089 |
percentage. | 7090 |
(4) "Poverty student count" means the five-year average | 7091 |
number of children ages five to seventeen residing in the school | 7092 |
district and living in a family receiving assistance under the | 7093 |

(E) A class-size reduction payment based on calculating the | 7245 |
number of new teachers necessary to achieve a lower | 7246 |
student-teacher ratio, as follows: | 7247 |
(1) Determine or calculate a formula number of teachers per | 7248 |
one thousand students based on the poverty index of the school | 7249 |
district as follows: | 7250 |
(a) If the poverty index of the school district is less than | 7251 |
1.0, the formula number of teachers is 50.0, which is the number | 7252 |
of teachers per one thousand students at a student-teacher ratio | 7253 |
of twenty to one; | 7254 |
(b) If the poverty index of the school district is greater | 7255 |
than or equal to 1.0, but less than 1.5, the formula number of | 7256 |
teachers is calculated as follows: | 7257 |
7258 |
Where 50.0 is the number of teachers per one thousand | 7259 |
students at a student-teacher ratio of twenty to one; 0.5 is the | 7260 |
interval from a poverty index of 1.0 to a poverty index of 1.5; | 7261 |
and 16.667 is the difference in the number of teachers per one | 7262 |
thousand students at a student-teacher ratio of fifteen to one and | 7263 |

calculated in division (E)(1) of this section by the kindergarten | 7271 |
through third grade ADM for the district and divide that product | 7272 |
by one thousand; | 7273 |
(3) Calculate the number of new teachers as follows: | 7274 |
(a) Multiply the kindergarten through third grade ADM by | 7275 |
50.0, which is the number of teachers per one thousand students at | 7276 |
a student-teacher ratio of twenty to one, and divide that product | 7277 |
by one thousand; | 7278 |
(b) Subtract the quotient obtained in division (E)(3)(a) of | 7279 |
this section from the product in division (E)(2) of this section. | 7280 |
(4) Multiply the greater of the difference obtained under | 7281 |
division (E)(3) of this section or zero by the statewide average | 7282 |
teachers compensation. For this purpose, the "statewide average | 7283 |
teacher compensation" is $53,680 in fiscal year 2006 and $54,941 | 7284 |
in fiscal year 2007, which includes an amount for the value of | 7285 |
fringe benefits. | 7286 |

English proficient student as follows: | 7296 |
7297 |
7298 |
(2) If the district's poverty index is greater than or equal | 7299 |
to 1.75, the amount per limited English proficient student equals: | 7300 |
7301 |
(3) Multiply the per student amount determined for the | 7302 |
district under division (F)(1) or (2) of this section by the | 7303 |
number of the district's limited English proficient students, | 7304 |
times a phase-in percentage of 0.40 in fiscal year 2006 and 0.70 | 7305 |
in fiscal year 2007. For purposes of this calculation, the number | 7306 |
of limited English proficient students for each district shall be | 7307 |
the number determined by the department when it calculated the | 7308 |
district's percentage of limited English proficient students for | 7309 |
its school district report card issued in 2003 for the 2002-2003 | 7310 |
school year. | 7311 |
Not later than December 31, 2006, the department of education | 7312 |

the waiver, the district may use its payment under division (H) of | 7406 |
this section to implement the alternative program. | 7407 |
(5) Except as permitted under division (J)(1) of this | 7408 |
section, each urban school district that has a poverty index | 7409 |
greater than or equal to 1.0 shall use its payment under division | 7410 |
(I) of this section for one or a combination of the following | 7411 |
purposes: | 7412 |
(a) To hire or contract for community liaison officers, | 7413 |
attendance or truant officers, or safety and security personnel; | 7414 |
(b) To implement programs designed to ensure that schools are | 7415 |
free of drugs and violence and have a disciplined environment | 7416 |
conducive to learning; | 7417 |
(c) To implement academic intervention services described in | 7418 |
division (J)(6) of this section. | 7419 |
(6) Except as permitted under division (J)(1) of this | 7420 |
section, each school district with a poverty index greater than or | 7421 |
equal to 1.0 shall use the amount of its payment under division | 7422 |
(C) of this section, and may use any amount of its payment under | 7423 |
division (H) or (I) of this section, for academic intervention | 7424 |
services for students who have failed or are in danger of failing | 7425 |
any of the tests administered pursuant to section 3301.0710 of the | 7426 |
Revised Code, including intervention services required by section | 7427 |
3313.608 of the Revised Code. Except as permitted under division | 7428 |
(J)(1) of this section, no district shall spend any portion of its | 7429 |
payment under division (C) of this section for any other purpose. | 7430 |
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Chapter 4117. of | 7431 |
the Revised Code, no collective bargaining agreement entered into | 7432 |
after June 30, 2005, shall require use of the payment for any | 7433 |
other purpose. | 7434 |
(7) Except as otherwise required by division (K) or permitted | 7435 |
under division (O) of this section, all remaining funds | 7436 |
distributed under this section to districts with a poverty index | 7437 |
greater than or equal to 1.0 shall be utilized for the purpose of | 7438 |
the third grade guarantee. The third grade guarantee consists of | 7439 |
increasing the amount of instructional attention received per | 7440 |
pupil in kindergarten through third grade, either by reducing the | 7441 |
ratio of students to instructional personnel or by increasing the | 7442 |
amount of instruction and curriculum-related activities by | 7443 |
extending the length of the school day or the school year. | 7444 |
School districts may implement a reduction of the ratio of | 7445 |
students to instructional personnel through any or all of the | 7446 |
following methods: | 7447 |
(a) Reducing the number of students in a classroom taught by | 7448 |
a single teacher; | 7449 |
(b) Employing full-time educational aides or educational | 7450 |
paraprofessionals issued a permit or license under section | 7451 |
3319.088 of the Revised Code; | 7452 |
(c) Instituting a team-teaching method that will result in a | 7453 |
lower student-teacher ratio in a classroom. | 7454 |
Districts may extend the school day either by increasing the | 7455 |
amount of time allocated for each class, increasing the number of | 7456 |
classes provided per day, offering optional academic-related | 7457 |
after-school programs, providing curriculum-related extra | 7458 |
curricular activities, or establishing tutoring or remedial | 7459 |
services for students who have demonstrated an educational need. | 7460 |
In accordance with section 3319.089 of the Revised Code, a | 7461 |
district extending the school day pursuant to this division may | 7462 |
utilize a participant of the work experience program who has a | 7463 |
child enrolled in a public school in that district and who is | 7464 |
fulfilling the work requirements of that program by volunteering | 7465 |
or working in that public school. If the work experience program | 7466 |
participant is compensated, the school district may use the funds | 7467 |
distributed under this section for all or part of the | 7468 |
compensation. | 7469 |
Districts may extend the school year either through adding | 7470 |
regular days of instruction to the school calendar or by providing | 7471 |
summer programs. | 7472 |
(K) Each district shall not expend any funds received under | 7473 |
division (E) of this section in any school buildings that are not | 7474 |
buildings with the highest concentration of need, unless there is | 7475 |
a ratio of instructional personnel to students of no more than | 7476 |
fifteen to one in each kindergarten and first grade class in all | 7477 |
buildings with the highest concentration of need. This division | 7478 |
does not require that the funds used in buildings with the highest | 7479 |
concentration of need be spent solely to reduce the ratio of | 7480 |
instructional personnel to students in kindergarten and first | 7481 |
grade. A school district may spend the funds in those buildings in | 7482 |
any manner permitted by division (J)(7) of this section, but may | 7483 |
not spend the money in other buildings unless the fifteen-to-one | 7484 |
ratio required by this division is attained. | 7485 |
(L)(1) By the first day of August of each fiscal year, each | 7486 |
school district wishing to receive any funds under division (D) of | 7487 |
this section shall submit to the department of education an | 7488 |
estimate of its all-day kindergarten percentage. Each district | 7489 |
shall update its estimate throughout the fiscal year in the form | 7490 |
and manner required by the department, and the department shall | 7491 |
adjust payments under this section to reflect the updates. | 7492 |
(2) Annually by the end of December, the department of | 7493 |
education, utilizing data from the information system established | 7494 |
under section 3301.0714 of the Revised Code, shall determine for | 7495 |
each school district subject to division (J) of this section | 7496 |
whether in the preceding fiscal year the district's ratio of | 7497 |
instructional personnel to students and its number of kindergarten | 7498 |
students receiving all-day kindergarten appear reasonable, given | 7499 |
the amounts of money the district received for that fiscal year | 7500 |
pursuant to divisions (D) and (E) of this section. If the | 7501 |
department is unable to verify from the data available that | 7502 |
students are receiving reasonable amounts of instructional | 7503 |
attention and all-day kindergarten, given the funds the district | 7504 |
has received under this section and that class-size reduction | 7505 |
funds are being used in school buildings with the highest | 7506 |
concentration of need as required by division (K) of this section, | 7507 |
the department shall conduct a more intensive investigation to | 7508 |
ensure that funds have been expended as required by this section. | 7509 |
The department shall file an annual report of its findings under | 7510 |
this division with the chairpersons of the committees in each | 7511 |
house of the general assembly dealing with finance and education. | 7512 |
(M)(1) Each school district with a poverty index less than | 7513 |
1.0 that receives a payment under division (D) of this section | 7514 |
shall first utilize funds received under this section so that, | 7515 |
when combined with other funds of the district, sufficient funds | 7516 |
exist to provide all-day kindergarten to at least the number of | 7517 |
children in the district's all-day kindergarten percentage. To | 7518 |
satisfy this requirement, a district may use funds paid under | 7519 |
division (C) or (I) of this section to provide all-day | 7520 |
kindergarten in addition to the all-day kindergarten payment under | 7521 |
division (D) of this section. | 7522 |
(2) Except as permitted under division (M)(1) of this | 7523 |
section, each school district with a poverty index less than 1.0 | 7524 |
that receives a payment under division (C) of this section shall | 7525 |
use its payment under that division in accordance with all | 7526 |
requirements of division (J)(6) of this section. | 7527 |
(3) Except as permitted under division (M)(1) of this | 7528 |
section, each school district with a poverty index less than 1.0 | 7529 |
that receives a payment under division (I) of this section shall | 7530 |
use its payment under that division for one or a combination of | 7531 |
the following purposes: | 7532 |
(a) To hire or contract for community liaison officers, | 7533 |
attendance or truant officers, or safety and security personnel; | 7534 |
(b) To implement programs designed to ensure that schools are | 7535 |
free of drugs and violence and have a disciplined environment | 7536 |
conducive to learning; | 7537 |
(c) To implement academic intervention services described in | 7538 |
division (J)(6) of this section. | 7539 |
(4) Each school district to which division (M)(1), (2), or | 7540 |
(3) of this section applies shall expend the remaining funds | 7541 |
received under this section, and any other district with a poverty | 7542 |
index less than 1.0 shall expend all funds received under this | 7543 |
section, for any of the following purposes: | 7544 |
(a) The purchase of technology for instructional purposes for | 7545 |
remediation; | 7546 |
(b) All-day kindergarten; | 7547 |
(c) Reduction of class sizes in grades kindergarten through | 7548 |
three, as described in division (J)(7) of this section; | 7549 |
(d) Summer school remediation; | 7550 |
(e) Dropout prevention programs approved by the department of | 7551 |
education under division (J)(4) of this section; | 7552 |
(f) Guaranteeing that all third graders are ready to progress | 7553 |
to more advanced work; | 7554 |
(g) Summer education and work programs; | 7555 |
(h) Adolescent pregnancy programs; | 7556 |
(i) Head start, preschool, early childhood education, or | 7557 |
early learning programs; | 7558 |
(j) Reading improvement and remediation programs described by | 7559 |
the department of education; | 7560 |
(k) Programs designed to ensure that schools are free of | 7561 |
drugs and violence and have a disciplined environment conducive to | 7562 |
learning; | 7563 |
(l) Furnishing, free of charge, materials used in courses of | 7564 |
instruction, except for the necessary textbooks or electronic | 7565 |
textbooks required to be furnished without charge pursuant to | 7566 |
section 3329.06 of the Revised Code, to pupils living in families | 7567 |
participating in Ohio works first in accordance with section | 7568 |
3313.642 of the Revised Code; | 7569 |
(m) School breakfasts provided pursuant to section 3313.813 | 7570 |
of the Revised Code. | 7571 |
(N) If at any time the superintendent of public instruction | 7572 |
determines that a school district receiving funds under division | 7573 |
(D) of this section has enrolled less than the all-day | 7574 |
kindergarten percentage reported for that fiscal year, the | 7575 |
superintendent shall withhold from the funds otherwise due the | 7576 |
district under this section a proportional amount as determined by | 7577 |
the difference in the certified all-day kindergarten percentage | 7578 |
and the percentage actually enrolled in all-day kindergarten. | 7579 |
The superintendent shall also withhold an appropriate amount | 7580 |
of funds otherwise due a district for any other misuse of funds | 7581 |
not in accordance with this section. | 7582 |
(O)(1) A district may use a portion of the funds calculated | 7583 |
for it under division (D) of this section to modify or purchase | 7584 |
classroom space to provide all-day kindergarten, if both of the | 7585 |
following conditions are met: | 7586 |
(a) The district certifies to the department, in a manner | 7587 |
acceptable to the department, that it has a shortage of space for | 7588 |
providing all-day kindergarten. | 7589 |
(b) The district provides all-day kindergarten to the number | 7590 |
of children in the all-day kindergarten percentage it certified | 7591 |
under this section. | 7592 |
(2) A district may use a portion of the funds described in | 7593 |
division (J)(7) of this section to modify or purchase classroom | 7594 |
space to enable it to further reduce class size in grades | 7595 |
kindergarten through two with a goal of attaining class sizes of | 7596 |
fifteen students per licensed teacher. To do so, the district must | 7597 |
certify its need for additional space to the department, in a | 7598 |
manner satisfactory to the department. | 7599 |
Sec. 3317.0217. The department of education shall annually | 7600 |
compute and pay state parity aid to school districts, as follows: | 7601 |
(A) Calculate the local wealth per pupil of each school | 7602 |
district, which equals the following sum: | 7603 |
(1) Two-thirds times the quotient of (a) the district's | 7604 |
recognized valuation divided by (b) its formula ADM; plus | 7605 |
(2) One-third times the quotient of (a) the average of the | 7606 |
total federal adjusted gross income of the school district's | 7607 |
residents for the three years most recently reported under section | 7608 |
3317.021 of the Revised Code divided by (b) its formula ADM. | 7609 |
(B) Rank all school districts in order of local wealth per | 7610 |
pupil, from the district with the lowest local wealth per pupil to | 7611 |
the district with the highest local wealth per pupil. | 7612 |
(C) Compute the per pupil state parity aid funding for each | 7613 |
school district in accordance with the following formula: | 7614 |
7615 |
7616 |
7617 |
Where: | 7618 |
(1) Seven and one-half mills (0.0075) is an adjustment to the | 7619 |
original parity aid standard of nine and one-half mills, to | 7620 |
account for the general assembly's policy decision to phase-out | 7621 |
use of the cost-of-doing-business factor in the base cost formula. | 7622 |
(2) The "threshold local wealth per pupil" is the local | 7623 |
wealth per pupil of the school district with the | 7624 |
four-hundred-ninetieth lowest local wealth per pupil. | 7625 |
If the result of the calculation for a school district under | 7626 |
division (C) of this section is less than zero, the district's per | 7627 |
pupil parity aid shall be zero. | 7628 |
(D) Compute the per pupil alternative parity aid for each | 7629 |
school district that has a combination of an income factor of 1.0 | 7630 |
or less, a poverty index of 1.0 or greater, and a fiscal year 2005 | 7631 |
cost-of-doing-business factor of 1.0375 or greater, in accordance | 7632 |
with the following formula: | 7633 |
7634 |
7635 |
Where: | 7636 |
(1) "Poverty index" has the same meaning as in section | 7637 |
3317.029 of the Revised Code. | 7638 |
(2) "Payment percentage," for purposes of division (D) of | 7639 |
this section, equals 50% in fiscal year 2002 and 100% after fiscal | 7640 |
year 2002. | 7641 |
(E) Pay each district that has a combination of an income | 7642 |
factor of 1.0 or less, a poverty index of 1.0 or greater, and a | 7643 |
fiscal year 2005 cost-of-doing-business factor of 1.0375 or | 7644 |
greater, the greater of the following: | 7645 |
(1) The product of the district's per pupil parity aid | 7646 |
calculated under division (C) of this section times its net | 7647 |
formula ADM; | 7648 |
(2) The product of its per pupil alternative parity aid | 7649 |
calculated under division (D) of this section times its net | 7650 |
formula ADM. | 7651 |
(F) Pay every other district the product of its per pupil | 7652 |
parity aid calculated under division (C) of this section times its | 7653 |
net formula ADM. | 7654 |
(G) As used in divisions (E) and (F) of this section, "net | 7655 |
formula ADM" means formula ADM minus the number of internet- and | 7656 |
computer-based community school students and scholarship students | 7657 |
reported under divisions (B)(3)(e) | 7658 |
3317.03 of the Revised Code. | 7659 |
Sec. 3317.03. Notwithstanding divisions (A)(1), (B)(1), and | 7660 |
(C) of this section, except as provided in division (A)(2)(h) of | 7661 |
this section, any student enrolled in kindergarten more than half | 7662 |
time shall be reported as one-half student under this section. | 7663 |
(A) The superintendent of each city and exempted village | 7664 |
school district and of each educational service center shall, for | 7665 |
the schools under the superintendent's supervision, certify to the | 7666 |
state board of education on or before the fifteenth day of October | 7667 |
in each year for the first full school week in October the formula | 7668 |
ADM. Beginning in fiscal year 2007, each superintendent also shall | 7669 |
certify to the state board, for the schools under the | 7670 |
superintendent's supervision, the formula ADM for the first full | 7671 |
week in February. If a school under the superintendent's | 7672 |
supervision is closed for one or more days during that week due to | 7673 |
hazardous weather conditions or other circumstances described in | 7674 |
the first paragraph of division (B) of section 3317.01 of the | 7675 |
Revised Code, the superintendent may apply to the superintendent | 7676 |
of public instruction for a waiver, under which the superintendent | 7677 |
of public instruction may exempt the district superintendent from | 7678 |
certifying the formula ADM for that school for that week and | 7679 |
specify an alternate week for certifying the formula ADM of that | 7680 |
school. | 7681 |
The formula ADM shall consist of the average daily membership | 7682 |
during such week of the sum of the following: | 7683 |
(1) On an FTE basis, the number of students in grades | 7684 |
kindergarten through twelve receiving any educational services | 7685 |

kindergarten through twelve from one or more of the following | 7704 |
entities: | 7705 |
(a) A community school pursuant to Chapter 3314. of the | 7706 |

enrolled in a community school pursuant to Chapter 3314. of the | 7715 |
Revised Code; | 7716 |
(d) An adjacent or other school district under an open | 7717 |
enrollment policy adopted pursuant to section 3313.98 of the | 7718 |

district pursuant to section 3313.64 or 3313.65 of the Revised | 7743 |
Code who are placed by the district with a county MR/DD board, | 7744 |
minus the number of such children placed with a county MR/DD board | 7745 |
in fiscal year 1998. If this calculation produces a negative | 7746 |
number, the number reported under division (A)(4) of this section | 7747 |
shall be zero. | 7748 |

(D)(1) The superintendent of each joint vocational school | 7929 |
district shall certify to the superintendent of public instruction | 7930 |

district in which each joint vocational district pupil is entitled | 8011 |

Revised Code. | 8013 |
(E) In each school of each city, local, exempted village, | 8014 |
joint vocational, and cooperative education school district there | 8015 |
shall be maintained a record of school membership, which record | 8016 |
shall accurately show, for each day the school is in session, the | 8017 |
actual membership enrolled in regular day classes. For the purpose | 8018 |
of determining average daily membership, the membership figure of | 8019 |
any school shall not include any pupils except those pupils | 8020 |
described by division (A) of this section. The record of | 8021 |
membership for each school shall be maintained in such manner that | 8022 |
no pupil shall be counted as in membership prior to the actual | 8023 |
date of entry in the school and also in such manner that where for | 8024 |
any cause a pupil permanently withdraws from the school that pupil | 8025 |
shall not be counted as in membership from and after the date of | 8026 |
such withdrawal. There shall not be included in the membership of | 8027 |
any school any of the following: | 8028 |

of the tests required by that section and was not excused pursuant | 8035 |
to division (C)(1) or (3) of that section; | 8036 |
(4) Any pupil who has attained the age of twenty-two years, | 8037 |
except for veterans of the armed services whose attendance was | 8038 |
interrupted before completing the recognized twelve-year course of | 8039 |
the public schools by reason of induction or enlistment in the | 8040 |
armed forces and who apply for reenrollment in the public school | 8041 |
system of their residence not later than four years after | 8042 |
termination of war or their honorable discharge. | 8043 |
If, however, any veteran described by division (E)(4) of this | 8044 |
section elects to enroll in special courses organized for veterans | 8045 |
for whom tuition is paid under the provisions of federal laws, or | 8046 |
otherwise, that veteran shall not be included in average daily | 8047 |
membership. | 8048 |
Notwithstanding division (E)(3) of this section, the | 8049 |
membership of any school may include a pupil who did not take a | 8050 |
test required by section 3301.0711 of the Revised Code if the | 8051 |
superintendent of public instruction grants a waiver from the | 8052 |
requirement to take the test to the specific pupil and a parent is | 8053 |
not paying tuition for the pupil pursuant to section 3313.6410 of | 8054 |
the Revised Code. The superintendent may grant such a waiver only | 8055 |
for good cause in accordance with rules adopted by the state board | 8056 |
of education. | 8057 |
Except as provided in divisions (B)(2) and (F) of this | 8058 |
section, the average daily membership figure of any local, city, | 8059 |
exempted village, or joint vocational school district shall be | 8060 |
determined by dividing the figure representing the sum of the | 8061 |
number of pupils enrolled during each day the school of attendance | 8062 |
is actually open for instruction during the week for which the | 8063 |
formula ADM is being certified by the total number of days the | 8064 |
school was actually open for instruction during that week. For | 8065 |
purposes of state funding, "enrolled" persons are only those | 8066 |
pupils who are attending school, those who have attended school | 8067 |
during the current school year and are absent for authorized | 8068 |
reasons, and those handicapped children currently receiving home | 8069 |
instruction. | 8070 |
The average daily membership figure of any cooperative | 8071 |

vocational school district or educational service center shall | 8078 |
certify such increase to the superintendent of public instruction. | 8079 |
Such certification shall be submitted no later than the fifteenth | 8080 |

instruction shall use the increased formula ADM in calculating or | 8083 |
recalculating the amounts to be allocated in accordance with | 8084 |
section 3317.022 or 3317.16 of the Revised Code. In no event shall | 8085 |
the superintendent use an increased membership certified to the | 8086 |
superintendent after the fifteenth day of February. Division | 8087 |
(F)(1) of this section does not apply after fiscal year 2006. | 8088 |
(2) If on the first school day of April the total number of | 8089 |

eligible for approval under division (B) of section 3317.05 of the | 8091 |
Revised Code exceeds the number of units that have been approved | 8092 |
for the year under that division, the superintendent of schools of | 8093 |
any city, exempted village, or cooperative education school | 8094 |
district or educational service center shall make the | 8095 |
certifications required by this section for that day. If the | 8096 |
department determines additional units can be approved for the | 8097 |
fiscal year within any limitations set forth in the acts | 8098 |
appropriating moneys for the funding of such units, the department | 8099 |
shall approve additional units for the fiscal year on the basis of | 8100 |
such average daily membership. For each unit so approved, the | 8101 |
department shall pay an amount computed in the manner prescribed | 8102 |
in section 3317.052 or 3317.19 and section 3317.053 of the Revised | 8103 |
Code. | 8104 |

certified for the school district in which the student is entitled | 8107 |
to attend school under section 3313.64 or 3313.65 of the Revised | 8108 |
Code, the department of education shall adjust the formula ADM of | 8109 |
that school district to include the community school student in | 8110 |
accordance with division (C)(2) of this section, and shall | 8111 |
recalculate the school district's payments under this chapter for | 8112 |
the entire fiscal year on the basis of that adjusted formula ADM. | 8113 |
This requirement applies regardless of whether the student was | 8114 |
enrolled, as defined in division (E) of this section, in the | 8115 |
community school during the first full school week in October. | 8116 |

(3)(a) If on the first school day of April the number of | 8150 |
classes or units maintained for handicapped preschool children by | 8151 |
the county MR/DD board that are eligible for approval under | 8152 |
division (B) of section 3317.05 of the Revised Code is greater | 8153 |
than the number of units approved for the year under that | 8154 |
division, the superintendent shall make the certification required | 8155 |
by this section for that day. | 8156 |
(b) If the department determines that additional classes or | 8157 |
units can be approved for the fiscal year within any limitations | 8158 |
set forth in the acts appropriating moneys for the funding of the | 8159 |
classes and units described in division (G)(3)(a) of this section, | 8160 |
the department shall approve and fund additional units for the | 8161 |

spend money on, or an appropriation for, construction of the | 8504 |
cultural project. | 8505 |
(E) No state funds, including any state bond proceeds, shall | 8506 |

that there is a need for the facility in the region of the state | 8524 |

or less, the commission may delegate to its executive director the | 8528 |
authority to determine need but only in the affirmative. | 8529 |

the facility. Authorization to spend money, or an appropriation, | 8546 |
for planning or determining the feasibility of or need for the | 8547 |
facility does not constitute authorization to spend money on, or | 8548 |
an appropriation for, costs of constructing the facility. | 8549 |

financed from proceeds of state bonds, which may include, but is | 8554 |

the bureau of workers' compensation and for the discharge of all | 9208 |
administrative duties imposed upon the administrator in this | 9209 |
chapter and Chapters 4123., 4127., 4131., and 4167. of the Revised | 9210 |
Code, and in the discharge thereof shall do all of the following: | 9211 |
(1) Establish the overall administrative policy of the bureau | 9212 |
for the purposes of this chapter and Chapters 4123., 4127., 4131., | 9213 |
and 4167. of the Revised Code, and perform all acts and exercise | 9214 |
all authorities and powers, discretionary and otherwise that are | 9215 |
required of or vested in the bureau or any of its employees in | 9216 |
this chapter and Chapters 4123., 4127., 4131., and 4167. of the | 9217 |
Revised Code, except the acts and the exercise of authority and | 9218 |
power that is required of and vested in the oversight commission | 9219 |
or the industrial commission pursuant to those chapters. The | 9220 |
treasurer of state shall honor all warrants signed by the | 9221 |
administrator, or by one or more of the administrator's employees, | 9222 |
authorized by the administrator in writing, or bearing the | 9223 |
facsimile signature of the administrator or such employee under | 9224 |
sections 4123.42 and 4123.44 of the Revised Code. | 9225 |
(2) Employ, direct, and supervise all employees required in | 9226 |
connection with the performance of the duties assigned to the | 9227 |
bureau by this chapter and Chapters 4123., 4127., 4131., and 4167. | 9228 |
of the Revised Code, and may establish job classification plans | 9229 |
and compensation for all employees of the bureau provided that | 9230 |
this grant of authority shall not be construed as affecting any | 9231 |
employee for whom the state employment relations board has | 9232 |
established an appropriate bargaining unit under section 4117.06 | 9233 |
of the Revised Code. All positions of employment in the bureau are | 9234 |
in the classified civil service except those employees the | 9235 |
administrator may appoint to serve at the administrator's pleasure | 9236 |
in the unclassified civil service pursuant to section 124.11 of | 9237 |
the Revised Code. The administrator shall fix the salaries of | 9238 |
employees the administrator appoints to serve at the | 9239 |
administrator's pleasure, including the chief operating officer, | 9240 |
staff physicians, and other senior management personnel of the | 9241 |
bureau and shall establish the compensation of staff attorneys of | 9242 |
the bureau's legal section and their immediate supervisors, and | 9243 |
take whatever steps are necessary to provide adequate compensation | 9244 |

The administrator may appoint a person | 9246 |
certified position in the classified service within the bureau to | 9247 |
9248 | |
bureau | 9249 |
this division to a position in the unclassified service shall | 9250 |
retain the right to resume the position and status held by the | 9251 |
person in the classified service immediately prior to the person's | 9252 |
appointment in the
unclassified service | 9253 |
9254 | |
9255 | |
9256 | |
9257 | |
9258 | |
9259 | |
positions the person held in the unclassified service. An | 9260 |
employee's right to resume a position in the classified service | 9261 |
may only be exercised when the administrator demotes the employee | 9262 |
to a pay range lower than the employee's current pay range or | 9263 |
revokes the employee's appointment to the unclassified service. An | 9264 |
employee forfeits the right to resume a position in the classified | 9265 |
service when the employee is removed from the position in the | 9266 |
unclassified service due to incompetence, inefficiency, | 9267 |
dishonesty, drunkenness, immoral conduct, insubordination, | 9268 |
discourteous treatment of the public, neglect of duty, violation | 9269 |
of this chapter or Chapter 124., 4123., 4127., 4131., or 4167. of | 9270 |
the Revised Code, violation of the rules of the director of | 9271 |
administrative services or the administrator of workers' | 9272 |
compensation, any other failure of good behavior, any other acts | 9273 |
of misfeasance, malfeasance, or nonfeasance in office, or | 9274 |
conviction of a felony. An employee also forfeits the right to | 9275 |
resume a position in the classified service upon transfer to a | 9276 |
different agency. | 9277 |
Reinstatement to a position in the classified service shall | 9278 |
be to a position substantially equal to that position in the | 9279 |
classified service held previously, as certified by the department | 9280 |
of administrative services. If the position the person previously | 9281 |
held in the classified service has been placed in the unclassified | 9282 |
service or is otherwise unavailable, the person shall be appointed | 9283 |
to a position in the classified service within the bureau that the | 9284 |
director of administrative services certifies is comparable in | 9285 |
compensation to the position the person previously held in the | 9286 |
classified service. Service in the position in the unclassified | 9287 |
service shall be counted as service in the position in the | 9288 |
classified service held by the person immediately prior to the | 9289 |
person's appointment in the unclassified service. When a person is | 9290 |
reinstated to a position in the classified service as provided in | 9291 |
this | 9292 |
status, and benefits accruing to the position during the person's | 9293 |
time of service in the position in the unclassified service. | 9294 |
(3) Reorganize the work of the bureau, its sections, | 9295 |
departments, and offices to the extent necessary to achieve the | 9296 |
most efficient performance of its functions and to that end may | 9297 |
establish, change, or abolish positions and assign and reassign | 9298 |
duties and responsibilities of every employee of the bureau. All | 9299 |
persons employed by the commission in positions that, after | 9300 |
November 3, 1989, are supervised and directed by the administrator | 9301 |
under this section are transferred to the bureau in their | 9302 |
respective classifications but subject to reassignment and | 9303 |
reclassification of position and compensation as the administrator | 9304 |
determines to be in the interest of efficient administration. The | 9305 |
civil service status of any person employed by the commission is | 9306 |
not affected by this section. Personnel employed by the bureau or | 9307 |
the commission who are subject to Chapter 4117. of the Revised | 9308 |
Code shall retain all of their rights and benefits conferred | 9309 |
pursuant to that chapter as it presently exists or is hereafter | 9310 |
amended and nothing in this chapter or Chapter 4123. of the | 9311 |
Revised Code shall be construed as eliminating or interfering with | 9312 |
Chapter 4117. of the Revised Code or the rights and benefits | 9313 |
conferred under that chapter to public employees or to any | 9314 |
bargaining unit. | 9315 |

and contributions, for the amount to be credited to the surplus | 9324 |
fund, for rules and systems of rating, rate revisions, and merit | 9325 |

other information the oversight commission requires for the prompt | 9327 |
and efficient discharge of its duties. | 9328 |
(6) Keep the accounts required by division (A) of section | 9329 |
4123.34 of the Revised Code and all other accounts and records | 9330 |
necessary to the collection, administration, and distribution of | 9331 |
the workers' compensation funds and shall obtain the statistical | 9332 |
and other information required by section 4123.19 of the Revised | 9333 |
Code. | 9334 |
(7) Exercise the investment powers vested in the | 9335 |
administrator by section 4123.44 of the Revised Code in accordance | 9336 |
with the investment objectives, policies, and criteria established | 9337 |
by the oversight commission pursuant to section 4121.12 of the | 9338 |
Revised Code and in consultation with the chief investment officer | 9339 |
of the bureau of workers' compensation. The administrator shall | 9340 |
not engage in any prohibited investment activity specified by the | 9341 |

cash and securities and other property held, in the name of the | 9347 |
bureau, or in the name of its nominee, provided that nominees are | 9348 |

facilitating the transfer of securities, and restricted to the | 9350 |
administrator and designated employees. | 9351 |
(8) Make contracts for and supervise the construction of any | 9352 |

sections 125.12 to 125.14 of the Revised Code, the administrator | 9360 |
may transfer surplus computers and computer equipment directly to | 9361 |
an accredited public school within the state. The computers and | 9362 |
computer equipment may be repaired or refurbished prior to the | 9363 |

be undertaken at or near the place of injury or the residence of | 9374 |
the claimant and for that purpose establish regional offices, in | 9375 |
such places as the administrator considers proper, capable of | 9376 |
discharging as many of the functions of the bureau as is | 9377 |

requirements by rule. | 10025 |
(E)(1) A nonresident, natural person of this state who has | 10026 |
complied with this section may obtain a certificate, registration, | 10027 |
or license. The board shall adopt rules relating to the | 10028 |
certification, registration, and licensure of a nonresident | 10029 |
applicant whose state of residence the board determines to have | 10030 |
certification, registration, or licensure requirements that are | 10031 |
substantially similar to those set forth in this chapter and the | 10032 |
rules adopted thereunder. | 10033 |
(2) The board shall recognize on a temporary basis a | 10034 |
certification or license issued in another state and shall | 10035 |
register on a temporary basis an appraiser who is certified or | 10036 |
licensed in another state if all of the following apply: | 10037 |
(a) The temporary registration is to perform an appraisal | 10038 |
assignment that is part of a federally related transaction. | 10039 |
(b) The appraiser's business in this state is of a temporary | 10040 |
nature. | 10041 |
(c) The appraiser registers with the board pursuant to this | 10042 |
division. | 10043 |
An appraiser who is certified or licensed in another state | 10044 |
shall register with the board for temporary practice before | 10045 |
performing an appraisal assignment in this state in connection | 10046 |
with a federally related transaction. | 10047 |
The board shall adopt rules relating to registration for the | 10048 |
temporary recognition of certification and licensure of appraisers | 10049 |
from another state. The registration for temporary recognition of | 10050 |
certified or licensed appraisers from another state shall not | 10051 |
authorize completion of more than one appraisal assignment in this | 10052 |
state. The board shall not issue more than two registrations for | 10053 |
temporary practice to any one applicant in any calendar year. | 10054 |
(3) In addition to any other information required to be | 10055 |
submitted with the nonresident applicant's or appraiser's | 10056 |
application for a certificate, registration, license, or temporary | 10057 |
recognition of a certificate or license, each nonresident | 10058 |
applicant or appraiser shall submit a statement consenting to the | 10059 |
service of process upon the nonresident applicant or appraiser by | 10060 |
means of delivering that process to the secretary of state if, in | 10061 |
an action against the applicant, certificate holder, registrant, | 10062 |
or licensee arising from the applicant's, certificate holder's, | 10063 |
registrant's, or licensee's activities as a certificate holder, | 10064 |
registrant, or licensee, the plaintiff, in the exercise of due | 10065 |
diligence, cannot effect personal service upon the applicant, | 10066 |
certificate holder, registrant, or licensee. | 10067 |
(F) The superintendent shall not issue a certificate, | 10068 |
registration, or license to, or recognize on a temporary basis an | 10069 |
appraiser from another state that is a corporation, partnership, | 10070 |
or association. This prohibition shall not be construed to prevent | 10071 |
a certificate holder or licensee from signing an appraisal report | 10072 |
on behalf of a corporation, partnership, or association. | 10073 |
(G) Every person licensed, registered, or certified under | 10074 |
this chapter shall notify the superintendent, on a form provided | 10075 |
by the superintendent, of a change in the address of the | 10076 |
licensee's, registrant's, or certificate holder's principal place | 10077 |
of business or residence within thirty days of the change. If a | 10078 |
licensee's, registrant's, or certificate holder's license, | 10079 |
registration, or certificate is revoked or not renewed, the | 10080 |
licensee, registrant, or certificate holder immediately shall | 10081 |
return the annual and any renewal certificate, registration, or | 10082 |
license to the superintendent. | 10083 |
(H)(1) The superintendent shall not issue a certificate, | 10084 |
registration, or license to any person, or recognize on a | 10085 |
temporary basis an appraiser from another state, who does not meet | 10086 |
applicable minimum criteria for state certification, registration, | 10087 |
or licensure prescribed by federal law or rule. | 10088 |
(2) The superintendent shall not issue a general real estate | 10089 |
appraiser certificate, residential real estate appraiser | 10090 |
certificate, residential real estate appraiser license, or real | 10091 |
estate appraiser assistant registration to any person who has been | 10092 |
convicted of or pleaded guilty to any criminal offense involving | 10093 |
theft, receiving stolen property, embezzlement, forgery, fraud, | 10094 |
passing bad checks, money laundering, or drug trafficking, or any | 10095 |
criminal offense involving money or securities, including a | 10096 |
violation of an existing or former law of this state, any other | 10097 |
state, or the United States that substantially is equivalent to | 10098 |
such an offense. However, if the applicant has pleaded guilty to | 10099 |
or been convicted of such an offense, the superintendent shall not | 10100 |
consider the offense if the applicant has proven to the | 10101 |
superintendent, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the | 10102 |
applicant's activities and employment record since the conviction | 10103 |
show that the applicant is honest, truthful, and of good | 10104 |
reputation, and there is no basis in fact for believing that the | 10105 |
applicant will commit such an offense again. | 10106 |
Sec. 4763.06. (A) A person licensed, registered, or | 10107 |
certified under this chapter may obtain a renewal certificate, | 10108 |

Code and any amount assessed pursuant to division (A)(2) of | 10111 |
section 4763.05 of the Revised Code to the superintendent of real | 10112 |
estate. The renewal application shall include a statement, signed | 10113 |
by the certificate holder, registrant, or licensee, that the | 10114 |
certificate holder, registrant, or licensee has not, during the | 10115 |
immediately preceding twelve-month period, been convicted of or | 10116 |
pleaded guilty to any criminal offense described in division | 10117 |
(H)(2) of section 4763.05 of the Revised Code. The certificate | 10118 |
holder, registrant, or licensee shall file the renewal application | 10119 |
at least thirty days, but no earlier than one hundred twenty days, | 10120 |
prior to expiration of the certificate holder's, registrant's, or | 10121 |
licensee's current certificate, registration, or license. | 10122 |

to renew a certificate, registration, or license prior to its | 10133 |
expiration is ineligible to obtain a renewal certificate, | 10134 |
registration, or license and shall comply with section 4763.05 of | 10135 |
the Revised Code in order to regain certification or licensure, | 10136 |
except that a certificate holder, registrant, or licensee may, | 10137 |

or license, renew the certificate, registration, or license | 10140 |
without having to comply with section 4763.05 of the Revised Code | 10141 |
by payment of all fees for renewal and payment of the late filing | 10142 |
fee set forth in section 4763.09 of the Revised Code. A | 10143 |
certificate holder, registrant, or licensee who applies for late | 10144 |
renewal of the certificate holder's, registrant's, or licensee's | 10145 |
certificate, registration, or license may engage in all activities | 10146 |
permitted by the certification, registration, or license being | 10147 |

services so that the board may assist the agency in satisfying the | 10339 |
standards. The director shall give the agency a reasonable time | 10340 |
within which to demonstrate that its services satisfy the | 10341 |
standards or to bring the services into compliance with the | 10342 |
standards. If the director concludes that the services continue to | 10343 |
fail to satisfy the standards, the director may request that the | 10344 |
board reallocate the funds for the community mental health | 10345 |
services the agency was to provide to another community mental | 10346 |
health agency whose community mental health services satisfy the | 10347 |
standards. If the board does not reallocate those funds in a | 10348 |
reasonable period of time, the director may withhold state and | 10349 |
federal funds for the community mental health services and | 10350 |
allocate those funds directly to a community mental health agency | 10351 |
whose community mental health services satisfy the standards. | 10352 |

(2) "Gas" means all forms of natural gas. | 11527 |
(3) "Well" means an oil or gas well or an oil and gas well. | 11528 |
(4) "M.C.F." means one thousand cubic feet. | 11529 |
(5) "Commonly metered wells" means two or more wells that | 11530 |
share the same meter. | 11531 |
(6) "Total production" means the total amount of oil, | 11532 |
measured in barrels, and the total amount of gas, measured in | 11533 |
M.C.F., of all oil and gas actually produced and sold from a | 11534 |
single well that is developed and producing on the tax lien date. | 11535 |
For commonly metered wells, "total production" means the total | 11536 |
amount of oil, measured in barrels, and the total amount of gas, | 11537 |

commonly metered wells. | 11540 |
(7) "Flush production" means total production from a single | 11541 |
well during the first twelve calendar months during not more than | 11542 |

during a ten-year discount period with production assumed to be | 11580 |
one barrel of oil or one M.C.F. of gas during the first year of | 11581 |
production and declining at the annual average annual decline rate | 11582 |
during the remaining nine years of the ten-year discount period, | 11583 |
as follows: | 11584 |
(a) First year: one barrel or one M.C.F. multiplied by gross | 11585 |
price; | 11586 |

per cent of annual gross revenue. | 11608 |
(15) "Average operating expense" means the annual cost of | 11609 |
operating and maintaining a producing well after it first begins | 11610 |
production. For the purposes of this section, the average | 11611 |

(17) "Discount rate" means the rate used to determine the | 11617 |
present net worth of one dollar during each year of the ten-year | 11618 |
discount period assuming the net income stream projected for each | 11619 |
year of the ten-year discount period is received at the half-year | 11620 |
point. For the purposes of this section, the discount rate equals | 11621 |

property necessary to recover the oil, shall be determined under | 11630 |
division (B)(1) or (2) of this section. | 11631 |
(1) For wells for which average daily production of oil is | 11632 |
one barrel or more in the calendar year preceding the tax lien | 11633 |
date, the true value in money equals the average daily production | 11634 |
of oil from the well multiplied by the net present value of one | 11635 |
barrel of oil, where: | 11636 |
(a) Net present value of one barrel of oil = 365 x the sum of | 11637 |
[net income for each year of the discount period x discount rate | 11638 |
factor for that year] for all years in the discount period; and | 11639 |
(b) Net income for a year of the discount period = gross | 11640 |
revenue for that year minus the sum of the following for that | 11641 |
year: average royalty expense, average operating expense, and | 11642 |
average capital recovery expense. | 11643 |
(2) For wells for which average daily production of oil is | 11644 |
less than one barrel in the calendar year preceding the tax lien | 11645 |
date, the true value in money equals the average daily production | 11646 |
of the well in the calendar year preceding the tax lien date | 11647 |
multiplied by sixty per cent of the net present value of one | 11648 |
barrel of oil as computed under division (B)(1) of this section. | 11649 |

property on tax lien dates January 1, 2007, and thereafter with | 11651 |
respect to a developed and producing well that has not been the | 11652 |
subject of a recent arm's length sale, exclusive of personal | 11653 |
property necessary to recover the gas, shall be determined under | 11654 |
division (C)(1) or (2) of this section. | 11655 |
(1) For wells for which average daily production of gas is | 11656 |
eight M.C.F. or more in the calendar year preceding the tax lien | 11657 |
date, the true value in money equals the average daily production | 11658 |
of gas from the well multiplied by the net present value of one | 11659 |
M.C.F. of gas, where: | 11660 |
(a) Net present value of one M.C.F. of gas = 365 x the sum of | 11661 |
[net income for each year of the discount period x discount rate | 11662 |
factor for that year] for all years in the discount period; and | 11663 |
(b) Net income for a year of the discount period = gross | 11664 |
revenue for that year minus the sum of the following for that | 11665 |
year: average royalty expense, average operating expense, and | 11666 |
average capital recovery expense. | 11667 |
(2) For wells for which average daily production of gas is | 11668 |
less than eight M.C.F. in the calendar year preceding the tax lien | 11669 |
date, the true value in money equals the average daily production | 11670 |
of the well in the calendar year preceding the tax lien date | 11671 |
multiplied by fifty per cent of the net present value of one | 11672 |
M.C.F. as computed under division (C)(1) of this section. | 11673 |

levy approved by the voters after June 30, 1999, and the tax | 11991 |
commissioner shall use the greater of the 1999 or the 2000 tax | 11992 |

taxing district, the fixed-rate levy loss calculated under | 11998 |
division (G) of this section, and the fixed-sum levy loss | 11999 |
calculated under division (H) of this section. The calculations | 12000 |

shall prescribe the form of the application, which shall require a | 12147 |
detailed description of the proposed training program. The | 12148 |
director may require applicants to remit an application fee with | 12149 |
each application filed with the director. The fee shall not exceed | 12150 |
the reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the director in | 12151 |
receiving, reviewing, and approving such applications and issuing | 12152 |
tax credit certificates. Proceeds from fees shall be used solely | 12153 |
for the purpose of receiving, reviewing, and approving such | 12154 |
applications and issuing such certificates. | 12155 |
After receipt of an application, the director shall authorize | 12156 |
a credit under this section by issuing a tax credit certificate, | 12157 |
in the form prescribed by the director, if the director determines | 12158 |
all of the following: | 12159 |
(1) The proposed training program is an eligible training | 12160 |
program under this section; | 12161 |
(2) The proposed training program is economically sound and | 12162 |
will benefit the people of this state by improving workforce | 12163 |
skills and strengthening the economy of this state; | 12164 |
(3) Receiving the tax credit is a major factor in the | 12165 |
taxpayer's decision to go forward with the training program; | 12166 |
(4) Authorization of the credit is consistent with division | 12167 |
(H) of this section. | 12168 |
The credit also is allowed for a taxpayer that is a partner | 12169 |
in a partnership that pays or incurs eligible training costs. Such | 12170 |
a taxpayer shall determine the taxpayer's credit amount in the | 12171 |
manner prescribed by division (K) of this section. | 12172 |
(D) If the director of job and family services denies an | 12173 |
application for a tax credit certificate, the director shall send | 12174 |
notice of the denial and the reason for denial to the applicant by | 12175 |
certified mail, return receipt requested. If the director | 12176 |
determines that an authorized training program, as actually | 12177 |
conducted, fails to meet the requirements of this section or to | 12178 |
comply with any condition set forth in the authorization, the | 12179 |
director may reduce the amount of the tax credit previously | 12180 |
granted. If the director reduces a tax credit, the director shall | 12181 |
send notice of the reduction and the reason for the reduction to | 12182 |
the taxpayer by certified mail, return receipt requested, and | 12183 |
shall certify the reduction to the tax commissioner or, in the | 12184 |
case of the reduction of a credit claimed by an insurance company, | 12185 |
the superintendent of insurance. The tax commissioner or | 12186 |
superintendent of insurance shall reduce the credit that may be | 12187 |
claimed by the taxpayer accordingly. Within sixty days after | 12188 |
receiving a notice of denial or notice of reduction of the tax | 12189 |
credit, an applicant or taxpayer may request, in writing, a | 12190 |
hearing before the director to review the denial or reduction. | 12191 |
Within sixty days after receiving a request that is filed within | 12192 |
the prescribed time, the director shall hold such a hearing at a | 12193 |
location to be determined by the director. Within thirty days | 12194 |
after the hearing is adjourned, the director shall issue a | 12195 |
redetermination affirming, reversing, or modifying the denial or | 12196 |
reduction of the tax credit and send notice of the redetermination | 12197 |
to the applicant or taxpayer by certified mail, return receipt | 12198 |
requested, and shall issue a notice of the redetermination to the | 12199 |
tax commissioner or superintendent of insurance. If an applicant | 12200 |
or taxpayer is aggrieved by the director's redetermination, the | 12201 |
applicant or taxpayer may appeal the redetermination to the board | 12202 |
of tax appeals in the manner prescribed by section 5717.02 of the | 12203 |
Revised Code. | 12204 |
(E) A taxpayer to which a tax credit certificate is issued | 12205 |
shall retain records indicating the eligible training costs it | 12206 |
pays or incurs for the eligible training program for which the | 12207 |
certificate is issued for four years following the end of the tax | 12208 |
year for which the credit is claimed. Such records shall be open | 12209 |
to inspection by the director of job and family services upon the | 12210 |
director's request during business hours. | 12211 |
Financial statements and other information submitted by an | 12212 |
applicant to the director of job and family services for a tax | 12213 |
credit under this section, and any information taken for any | 12214 |
purpose from such statements or information, are not public | 12215 |

the director of job and family services, the tax commissioner, or | 12217 |
superintendent of insurance may make use of the statements and | 12218 |
other information for purposes of issuing public reports or in | 12219 |
connection with court proceedings concerning tax credits allowed | 12220 |
under this section and sections 5725.31, 5729.07, and 5747.39 of | 12221 |
the Revised Code. | 12222 |

receiving the certificate, the taxpayer shall repay the total | 12232 |
amount of the tax credit received by the taxpayer for any | 12233 |
employees permanently relocated or transferred. At the time the | 12234 |
director gives public notice under division (A) of section 119.03 | 12235 |
of the Revised Code of the adoption of the rules, the director | 12236 |
shall submit copies of the proposed rules to the chairpersons and | 12237 |
ranking minority members of the standing committees in the senate | 12238 |
and the house of representatives to which legislation on economic | 12239 |
development matters are customarily referred. | 12240 |

representatives on the tax credit program under this section and | 12245 |

programs that were authorized under those sections during the | 12248 |
preceding calendar year, a description of each authorized training | 12249 |
program, the dollar amounts of the credits granted, and an | 12250 |
estimate of the impact of the credits on the economy of this | 12251 |
state. | 12252 |
(H) The aggregate amount of credits authorized under this | 12253 |
section and sections 5725.31, 5729.07, and 5747.39 of the Revised | 12254 |
Code shall not exceed twenty million dollars per calendar year. No | 12255 |
more than ten million dollars in credits per calendar year shall | 12256 |
be authorized for persons engaged primarily in manufacturing. No | 12257 |
less than five million dollars in credits per calendar year shall | 12258 |

Subject to such limits, the director of job and family services | 12261 |
shall adopt a rule under division (F) of this section that | 12262 |

excess of its tax due after allowing for any other credits that | 12269 |
precede the credit under this section in the order required under | 12270 |

claim a credit under this section for the tax year immediately | 12277 |
following that calendar year. The amount of a partner's credit | 12278 |
equals the partner's interest in the partnership on the last day | 12279 |
of such calendar year multiplied by the credit available to the | 12280 |
partnership as computed by the partnership. | 12281 |
(L) The director of job and family services shall not | 12282 |

individuals and estates as defined in divisions (G) and (E)(1)(a) | 13996 |
and (2) of section 5748.01 of the Revised Code with the levy of an | 13997 |
annual tax on the school district income of individuals as defined | 13998 |

Revised Code. In the resolution, the board shall specify the rate | 14000 |
of the replacement tax, whether the replacement tax is to be | 14001 |
levied for a specified number of years or for a continuing time, | 14002 |
the specific school district purposes for which the replacement | 14003 |
tax is to be levied, the date on which the replacement tax will | 14004 |
begin to be levied, the date of the election at which the question | 14005 |
of the replacement is to be submitted to the electors of the | 14006 |
school district, that the existing tax will cease to be levied and | 14007 |
the replacement tax will begin to be levied if the replacement is | 14008 |
approved by a majority of the electors voting on the replacement, | 14009 |
and that if the replacement is not approved by a majority of the | 14010 |
electors voting on the replacement the existing tax will remain in | 14011 |
effect under its original authority for the remainder of its | 14012 |
previously approved term. The resolution goes into immediate | 14013 |
effect upon its adoption. Publication of the resolution is not | 14014 |
necessary, and the information that will be provided in the notice | 14015 |
of election is sufficient notice. At least seventy-five days | 14016 |

replacement will be submitted to the electors of the school | 14018 |
district, the board shall certify a copy of the resolution to the | 14019 |
board of elections. | 14020 |
The replacement tax shall have the same specific school | 14021 |
district purposes as the existing tax, and its rate shall be the | 14022 |
same as the tax commissioner's estimate rounded to the nearest | 14023 |
one-fourth of one per cent. The replacement tax shall begin to be | 14024 |
levied on the first day of January of the year following the year | 14025 |
in which the question of the replacement is submitted to and | 14026 |
approved by the electors of the school district or on the first | 14027 |
day of January of a later year, as specified in the resolution. | 14028 |
The date of the election shall be the date of an otherwise | 14029 |
scheduled primary, general, or special election. | 14030 |
The board of elections shall make arrangements to submit the | 14031 |
question of the replacement to the electors of the school district | 14032 |
on the date specified in the resolution. The board of elections | 14033 |
shall publish notice of the election on the question of the | 14034 |
replacement in one or more newspapers of general circulation in | 14035 |
the school district once a week for four consecutive weeks. The | 14036 |
notice shall set forth the question to be submitted to the | 14037 |
electors and the time and place of the election thereon. | 14038 |
The question shall be submitted to the electors of the school | 14039 |
district as a separate proposition, but may be printed on the same | 14040 |
ballot with other propositions that are submitted at the same | 14041 |
election, other than the election of officers. The form of the | 14042 |
ballot shall be substantially as follows: | 14043 |
"Shall the existing tax of ..... (state the rate) on the | 14044 |
school district income of individuals and estates imposed by ..... | 14045 |
(state the name of the school district) be replaced by a tax of | 14046 |
..... (state the rate) on the earned income of individuals | 14047 |

a continuing time), beginning ..... (state the date the new tax | 14050 |
will take effect), for the purpose of ..... (state the specific | 14051 |
school district purposes of the tax)? If the new tax is not | 14052 |
approved, the existing tax will remain in effect under its | 14053 |
original authority, for the remainder of its previously approved | 14054 |
term. | 14055 |

in the same manner as regular elections in the school district for | 14059 |
the election of county officers. The board shall certify the | 14060 |
results of the election to the board of education and to the tax | 14061 |
commissioner. If a majority of the electors voting on the question | 14062 |
vote in favor of the replacement, the existing tax shall cease to | 14063 |
be levied, and the replacement tax shall begin to be levied, on | 14064 |
the date specified in the ballot question. If a majority of the | 14065 |
electors voting on the question vote against the replacement, the | 14066 |
existing tax shall continue to be levied under its original | 14067 |
authority, for the remainder of its previously approved term. | 14068 |
A board of education may not submit the question of replacing | 14069 |
a tax more than twice in a calendar year. If a board submits the | 14070 |
question more than once, one of the elections at which the | 14071 |
question is submitted shall be on the date of a general election. | 14072 |
If a board of education later intends to renew a replacement | 14073 |
tax levied under this section, it shall repeat the procedure | 14074 |
outlined in this section to do so, the replacement tax then being | 14075 |
levied being the "existing tax" and the renewed replacement tax | 14076 |
being the "replacement tax." | 14077 |

financial institution and the recipient of such receipts have at | 14354 |

dealer in intangibles, other than fees or other consideration, | 14363 |
pursuant to a table-funding mortgage loan or warehouse-lending | 14364 |
mortgage loan. Terms used in division (F)(2)(w) of this section | 14365 |
have the same meanings as in section 1322.01 of the Revised Code, | 14366 |
except "mortgage broker" means a person assisting a buyer in | 14367 |
obtaining a mortgage loan for a fee or other consideration paid by | 14368 |

permit holder under Chapter 3769. of the Revised Code, an amount | 14378 |
equal to the amounts specified under that chapter that must be | 14379 |
paid to or collected by the tax commissioner as a tax and the | 14380 |
amounts specified under that chapter to be used as purse money; | 14381 |
(z) Qualifying distribution center receipts. | 14382 |
(i) For purposes of division (F)(2)(z) of this section: | 14383 |
(I) "Qualifying distribution center receipts" means receipts | 14384 |
of a supplier from qualified property that is delivered to a | 14385 |
qualified distribution center, multiplied by a quantity that | 14386 |
equals one minus the Ohio delivery percentage. | 14387 |
(II) "Qualified property" means tangible personal property | 14388 |
delivered to a qualified distribution center that is shipped to | 14389 |
that qualified distribution center solely for further shipping by | 14390 |
the qualified distribution center to another location in this | 14391 |
state or elsewhere. "Further shipping" includes storing and | 14392 |
repackaging such property into smaller or larger bundles, so long | 14393 |
as such property is not subject to further manufacturing or | 14394 |
processing. | 14395 |
(III) "Qualified distribution center" means a warehouse or | 14396 |
other similar facility in this state that, for the qualifying | 14397 |
year, is operated by a person that is not part of a combined | 14398 |
taxpayer group and that has a qualifying certificate. However, all | 14399 |
warehouses or other similar facilities that are operated by | 14400 |
persons in the same taxpayer group and that are located within one | 14401 |
mile of each other shall be treated as one qualified distribution | 14402 |
center. | 14403 |
(IV) "Qualifying year" means the calendar year to which the | 14404 |
qualifying certificate applies. | 14405 |
(V) "Qualifying period" means the period of the first day of | 14406 |
July of the second year preceding the qualifying year through the | 14407 |
thirtieth day of June of the year preceding the qualifying year. | 14408 |
(VI) "Qualifying certificate" means an annual application | 14409 |
approved by the tax commissioner from an operator of a | 14410 |
distribution center that has filed an application as prescribed by | 14411 |
the commissioner and paid the annual fee for the qualifying | 14412 |
certificate on or before the first day of September prior to the | 14413 |
qualifying year or forty-five days after the opening of the | 14414 |
distribution center, whichever is later. The application and | 14415 |
annual fee shall be filed and paid for each qualified distribution | 14416 |
center. | 14417 |
The applicant must substantiate to the commissioner's | 14418 |
satisfaction that, for the qualifying period, all persons | 14419 |
operating the distribution center have more than fifty per cent of | 14420 |
the cost of the qualified property shipped to a location such that | 14421 |
it would be sitused outside this state under the provisions of | 14422 |
division (E) of section 5751.033 of the Revised Code. The | 14423 |
applicant must also substantiate that the distribution center | 14424 |
cumulatively had costs from its suppliers equal to or exceeding | 14425 |
five hundred million dollars during the qualifying period. (For | 14426 |
purposes of division (F)(2)(z)(i)(VI) of this section, "supplier" | 14427 |
excludes any person that is part of the consolidated elected | 14428 |
taxpayer group, if applicable, of the operator of the qualified | 14429 |
distribution center.) The commissioner may require the applicant | 14430 |
to have an independent certified public accountant certify that | 14431 |
the calculation of the minimum thresholds required for a qualified | 14432 |
distribution center by the operator of a distribution center has | 14433 |
been made in accordance with generally accepted accounting | 14434 |
principles. The commissioner shall issue or deny the issuance of a | 14435 |
certificate within sixty days after the receipt of the | 14436 |
application. A denial is subject to appeal under section 5717.02 | 14437 |
of the Revised Code. If the operator files a timely appeal under | 14438 |
section 5717.02 of the Revised Code, the operator shall be granted | 14439 |
a qualifying certificate, provided that the operator is liable for | 14440 |
any tax, interest, or penalty upon amounts claimed as qualifying | 14441 |
distribution center receipts, other than those receipts exempt | 14442 |
under division (C)(1) of section 5751.011 of the Revised Code, | 14443 |
that would have otherwise not been owed by its suppliers if the | 14444 |
qualifying certificate was valid. | 14445 |
(VII) "Ohio delivery percentage" means the proportion of the | 14446 |
total property delivered to a destination inside Ohio from the | 14447 |
qualified distribution center during the qualifying period | 14448 |
compared with total deliveries from such distribution center | 14449 |
everywhere during the qualifying period. | 14450 |
(ii) If the distribution center is new and was not open for | 14451 |
the entire qualifying period, the operator of the distribution | 14452 |
center may request that the commissioner grant a qualifying | 14453 |
certificate. If the certificate is granted and it is later | 14454 |
determined that more than fifty per cent of the qualified property | 14455 |
during that year was not shipped to a location such that it would | 14456 |
be sitused outside of this state under the provisions of division | 14457 |
(E) of section 5751.033 of the Revised Code or if it is later | 14458 |
determined that the person that operates the distribution center | 14459 |
had average monthly costs from its suppliers of less than forty | 14460 |
million dollars during that year, then the operator of the | 14461 |
distribution center shall be liable for any tax, interest, or | 14462 |
penalty upon amounts claimed as qualifying distribution center | 14463 |
receipts, other than those receipts exempt under division (C)(1) | 14464 |
of section 5751.011 of the Revised Code, that would have not | 14465 |
otherwise been owed by its suppliers during the qualifying year if | 14466 |
the qualifying certificate was valid. (For purposes of division | 14467 |
(F)(2)(z)(ii) of this section, "supplier" excludes any person that | 14468 |
is part of the consolidated elected taxpayer group, if applicable, | 14469 |
of the operator of the qualified distribution center.) | 14470 |
(iii) When filing an application for a qualifying certificate | 14471 |
under division (F)(2)(z)(i)(VI) of this section, the operator of a | 14472 |
qualified distribution center also shall provide documentation, as | 14473 |
the commissioner requires, for the commissioner to ascertain the | 14474 |
Ohio delivery percentage. The commissioner, upon issuing the | 14475 |
qualifying certificate, also shall certify the Ohio delivery | 14476 |
percentage. The operator of the qualified distribution center may | 14477 |
appeal the commissioner's certification of the Ohio delivery | 14478 |
percentage in the same manner as an appeal is taken from the | 14479 |
denial of a qualifying certificate under division (F)(2)(z)(i)(VI) | 14480 |
of this section. | 14481 |
Within thirty days after all appeals have been exhausted, the | 14482 |
operator of the qualified distribution center shall notify the | 14483 |
affected suppliers of qualified property that such suppliers are | 14484 |
required to file, within sixty days after receiving notice from | 14485 |
the operator of the qualified distribution center, amended reports | 14486 |
for the impacted calendar quarter or quarters or calendar year, | 14487 |
whichever the case may be. Any additional tax liability or tax | 14488 |
overpayment shall be subject to interest but shall not be subject | 14489 |
to the imposition of any penalty so long as the amended returns | 14490 |
are timely filed. The supplier of tangible personal property | 14491 |
delivered to the qualified distribution center shall include in | 14492 |
its report of taxable gross receipts the receipts from the total | 14493 |
sales of property delivered to the qualified distribution center | 14494 |
for the calendar quarter or calendar year, whichever the case may | 14495 |
be, multiplied by the Ohio delivery percentage for the qualifying | 14496 |
year. Nothing in division (F)(2)(z)(iii) of this section shall be | 14497 |
construed as imposing liability on the operator of a qualified | 14498 |
distribution center for the tax imposed by this chapter arising | 14499 |
from any change to the Ohio delivery percentage. | 14500 |
(iv) In the case where the distribution center is new and not | 14501 |
open for the entire qualifying period, the operator shall make a | 14502 |
good faith estimate of an Ohio delivery percentage for use by | 14503 |
suppliers in their reports of taxable gross receipts for the | 14504 |
remainder of the qualifying period. The operator of the facility | 14505 |
shall disclose to the suppliers that such Ohio delivery percentage | 14506 |
is an estimate and is subject to recalculation. By the due date of | 14507 |
the next application for a qualifying certificate, the operator | 14508 |
shall determine the actual Ohio delivery percentage for the | 14509 |
estimated qualifying period and proceed as provided in division | 14510 |
(F)(2)(z)(iii) of this section with respect to the calculation and | 14511 |
recalculation of the Ohio delivery percentage. The supplier is | 14512 |
required to file, within sixty days after receiving notice from | 14513 |
the operator of the qualified distribution center, amended reports | 14514 |
for the impacted calendar quarter or quarters or calendar year, | 14515 |
whichever the case may be. Any additional tax liability or tax | 14516 |
overpayment shall be subject to interest but shall not be subject | 14517 |
to the imposition of any penalty so long as the amended returns | 14518 |
are timely filed. | 14519 |
(v) Qualifying certificates and Ohio delivery percentages | 14520 |
issued by the commissioner shall be open to public inspection and | 14521 |
shall be timely published by the commissioner. A supplier relying | 14522 |
in good faith on a certificate issued under this division shall | 14523 |
not be subject to tax on the qualifying distribution center | 14524 |
receipts under division (F)(2)(z) of this section. A person | 14525 |
receiving a qualifying certificate is responsible for paying the | 14526 |
tax, interest, and penalty upon amounts claimed as qualifying | 14527 |
distribution center receipts that would not otherwise have been | 14528 |
owed by the supplier if the qualifying certificate were available | 14529 |
when it is later determined that the qualifying certificate should | 14530 |
not have been issued because the statutory requirements were in | 14531 |
fact not met. | 14532 |
(vi) The annual fee for a qualifying certificate shall be one | 14533 |
hundred thousand dollars for each qualified distribution center. | 14534 |
If a qualifying certificate is not issued, the annual fee is | 14535 |
subject to refund after the exhaustion of all appeals provided for | 14536 |
in division (F)(2)(z)(i)(VI) of this section. The fee imposed | 14537 |
under this division may be assessed in the same manner as the tax | 14538 |
imposed under this chapter. The first one hundred thousand dollars | 14539 |
of the annual application fees collected each calendar year shall | 14540 |
be credited to the commercial activity tax administrative fund. | 14541 |
The remainder of the annual application fees collected shall be | 14542 |
distributed in the same manner required under section 5751.20 of | 14543 |
the Revised Code. | 14544 |
(vii) The tax commissioner may require that adequate security | 14545 |
be posted by the operator of the distribution center on appeal | 14546 |
when the commissioner disagrees that the applicant has met the | 14547 |
minimum thresholds for a qualified distribution center as set | 14548 |
forth in divisions (F)(2)(z)(i)(VI) and (F)(2)(z)(ii) of this | 14549 |
section. | 14550 |
(aa) Any receipts for which the tax imposed by this chapter | 14551 |
is prohibited by the | 14552 |
United States or the | 14553 |
(3) In the case of a taxpayer when acting as a real estate | 14554 |
broker, "gross receipts" includes only the portion of any fee for | 14555 |
the service of a real estate broker, or service of a real estate | 14556 |
salesperson associated with that broker, that is retained by the | 14557 |
broker and not paid to an associated real estate salesperson or | 14558 |
another real estate broker. For the purposes of this division, | 14559 |
"real estate broker" and "real estate salesperson" have the same | 14560 |
meanings as in section 4735.01 of the Revised Code. | 14561 |
(4) A taxpayer's method of accounting for gross receipts for | 14562 |
a tax period shall be the same as the taxpayer's method of | 14563 |
accounting for federal income tax purposes for the taxpayer's | 14564 |
federal taxable year that includes the tax period. If a taxpayer's | 14565 |
method of accounting for federal income tax purposes changes, its | 14566 |
method of accounting for gross receipts under this chapter shall | 14567 |
be changed accordingly. | 14568 |
In calculating gross receipts, the following shall be | 14569 |
deducted to the extent included as a gross receipt in the current | 14570 |
tax period or reported as taxable gross receipts in a prior tax | 14571 |
period: | 14572 |

(b) Returns and allowances; | 14574 |
(c) Bad debts. For the purposes of this division, "bad debts" | 14575 |
mean any debts that have become worthless or uncollectible between | 14576 |
the preceding and current quarterly tax payment periods, have been | 14577 |
uncollected for at least six months, and may be claimed as a | 14578 |
deduction under section 166 of the Internal Revenue Code and the | 14579 |
regulations adopted pursuant thereto, or that could be claimed as | 14580 |
such if the taxpayer kept its accounts on the accrual basis. "Bad | 14581 |
debts" does not include uncollectible amounts on property that | 14582 |
remains in the possession of the taxpayer until the full purchase | 14583 |
price is paid, expenses in attempting to collect any account | 14584 |
receivable or for any portion of the debt recovered, and | 14585 |
repossessed property; | 14586 |
(d) Any amount realized from the sale of an account | 14587 |
receivable but only to the extent the receipts from the underlying | 14588 |
transaction giving rise to the account receivable were included in | 14589 |
the gross receipts of the taxpayer. | 14590 |
(G) "Taxable gross receipts" means gross receipts sitused to | 14591 |
this state under section 5751.033 of the Revised Code. | 14592 |
(H) A person has "substantial nexus with this state" if any | 14593 |
of the following applies. The person: | 14594 |
(1) Owns or uses a part or all of its capital in this state; | 14595 |

of 1986, 100 Stat. 2085, 26 U.S.C. 1, as amended. Any term used in | 14630 |

when used in a comparable context in the laws of the United States | 14632 |
relating to federal income taxes unless a different meaning is | 14633 |
clearly required. Any reference in this chapter to the Internal | 14634 |

Sec. 5751.011. (A) A group of two or more persons may elect | 14662 |
to be a consolidated elected taxpayer for the purposes of this | 14663 |
chapter if the group satisfies all of the following requirements: | 14664 |
(1) The group elects to include all persons, including | 14665 |
persons enumerated in divisions (E)(2) to (10) of section 5751.01 | 14666 |
of the Revised Code, having at least eighty per cent, or having at | 14667 |
least fifty per cent, of the value of their ownership interests | 14668 |
owned or controlled, directly or constructively through related | 14669 |
interests, by common owners during all or any portion of the tax | 14670 |
period, together with the common owners. At the election of the | 14671 |
group, all entities that are not incorporated or formed under the | 14672 |
laws of a state or of the United States and that meet the elected | 14673 |
ownership test shall either be included in the group or all shall | 14674 |
be excluded from the group. The group shall notify the tax | 14675 |
commissioner of the foregoing elections before the due date of the | 14676 |
return in which the election is to become effective. If fifty per | 14677 |
cent of the value of a person's ownership interests is owned or | 14678 |
controlled by each of two consolidated elected taxpayer groups | 14679 |
formed under the fifty per cent ownership or control test, that | 14680 |
person is a member of each group for the purposes of this section, | 14681 |
and each group shall include in the group's taxable gross receipts | 14682 |
fifty per cent of that person's taxable gross receipts. Otherwise, | 14683 |
all of that person's taxable gross receipts shall be included in | 14684 |
the taxable gross receipts of the consolidated elected taxpayer | 14685 |
group of which the person is a member. In no event shall the | 14686 |
ownership or control of fifty per cent of the value of a person's | 14687 |
ownership interests by two otherwise unrelated groups form the | 14688 |
basis for consolidating the groups into a single consolidated | 14689 |
elected taxpayer group or permit any exclusion under division (C) | 14690 |
of this section of taxable gross receipts between members of the | 14691 |
two groups. Division (A)(3) of this section applies with respect | 14692 |
to the elections described in this division. | 14693 |
(2) The group makes the election to be treated as a | 14694 |
consolidated elected taxpayer in the manner prescribed under | 14695 |
division (D) of this section. | 14696 |
(3) Subject to review and audit by the tax commissioner, the | 14697 |
group agrees that all of the following apply: | 14698 |
(a) The group shall file reports as a single taxpayer for at | 14699 |
least the next eight calendar quarters following the election so | 14700 |
long as at least two or more of the members of the group meet the | 14701 |
requirements of division (A)(1) of this section. | 14702 |
(b) Before the expiration of the eighth such calendar | 14703 |
quarter, the group shall notify the commissioner if it elects to | 14704 |
cancel its designation as a consolidated elected taxpayer. If the | 14705 |
group does not so notify the tax commissioner, the election | 14706 |
remains in effect for another eight calendar quarters. | 14707 |
(c) If, at any time during any of those eight calendar | 14708 |
quarters following the election, a former member of the group no | 14709 |
longer meets the requirements under division (A)(1) of this | 14710 |
section, that member shall report and pay the tax imposed under | 14711 |
this chapter separately, as a member of a combined taxpayer, or, | 14712 |
if the former member satisfies such requirements with respect to | 14713 |
another consolidated elected group, as a member of that | 14714 |
consolidated elected group. | 14715 |
(d) The group agrees to the application of division (B) of | 14716 |
this section. | 14717 |
(B) A group of persons making the election under this section | 14718 |
shall report and pay tax on all of the group's taxable gross | 14719 |
receipts even if substantial nexus with this state does not exist | 14720 |
for one or more persons in the group. | 14721 |
(C)(1) | 14722 |
shall exclude | 14723 |
14724 | |
taxpayer group. | 14725 |
(b) Subject to divisions (C)(1)(c) and (C)(2) of this | 14726 |
section, nothing in this section shall have the effect of | 14727 |
requiring a consolidated elected taxpayer group to include gross | 14728 |
receipts received by a person enumerated in divisions (E)(2) to | 14729 |
(10) of section 5751.01 of the Revised Code | 14730 |
14731 | |

14735 | |
14736 | |
person is a member of the group pursuant to the elections made by | 14737 |
the group under division (A)(1) of this section. | 14738 |
(c)(i) As used in division (C)(1)(c) of this section, "dealer | 14739 |
transfer" means a transfer of property that satisfies both of the | 14740 |
following: (I) the property is directly transferred by any means | 14741 |
from one member of the group to another member of the group that | 14742 |
is a dealer in intangibles but is not a qualifying dealer as | 14743 |
defined in section 5725.24 of the Revised Code; and (II) the | 14744 |
property is subsequently delivered by the dealer in intangibles to | 14745 |
a person that is not a member of the group. | 14746 |
(ii) In the event of a dealer transfer, a consolidated | 14747 |
elected taxpayer group shall not exclude, under division (C) of | 14748 |
this section, gross receipts from the transfer described in | 14749 |
division (C)(1)(c)(i)(I) of this section. | 14750 |
(2) Gross receipts related to the sale or transmission of | 14751 |
electricity through the use of an intermediary regional | 14752 |
transmission organization approved by the federal energy | 14753 |
regulatory commission shall be excluded from taxable gross | 14754 |
receipts under division (C)(1) of this section if all other | 14755 |
requirements of that division are met, even if the receipts are | 14756 |
from and to the same member of the group. | 14757 |
(D) To make the election to be a consolidated elected | 14758 |
taxpayer, a group of persons shall notify the tax commissioner of | 14759 |
the election in the manner prescribed by the commissioner and pay | 14760 |
the commissioner a registration fee equal to the lesser of two | 14761 |
hundred dollars or twenty dollars for each person in the group. No | 14762 |
additional fee shall be imposed for the addition of new members to | 14763 |
the group once the group has remitted a fee in the amount of two | 14764 |
hundred dollars. The election shall be made and the fee paid | 14765 |
before the later of the beginning of the first calendar quarter to | 14766 |
which the election applies or November 15, 2005. The fee shall be | 14767 |
collected and used in the same manner as provided in section | 14768 |
5751.04 of the Revised Code. | 14769 |
The election shall be made on a form prescribed by the tax | 14770 |
commissioner for that purpose and shall be signed by one or more | 14771 |
individuals with authority, separately or together, to make a | 14772 |
binding election on behalf of all persons in the group. | 14773 |
Any person acquired or formed after the filing of the | 14774 |
registration shall be included in the group if the person meets | 14775 |
the requirements of division (A)(1) of this section, and the group | 14776 |
shall notify the tax commissioner of any additions to the group | 14777 |
with the next tax return it files with the commissioner. | 14778 |
(E) Each member of a consolidated elected taxpayer is jointly | 14779 |
and severally liable for the tax imposed by this chapter and any | 14780 |
penalties or interest thereon. The tax commissioner may require | 14781 |
one person in the group to be the taxpayer for purposes of | 14782 |
registration and remittance of the tax, but all members of the | 14783 |
group are subject to assessment under section 5751.09 of the | 14784 |
Revised Code. | 14785 |
Sec. 5751.033. For the purposes of this chapter, gross | 14786 |
receipts shall be sitused to this state as follows: | 14787 |
(A) Gross rents and royalties from real property located in | 14788 |
this state shall be sitused to this state. | 14789 |
(B) Gross rents and royalties from tangible personal property | 14790 |
shall be sitused to this state to the extent the tangible personal | 14791 |
property is located or used in this state. | 14792 |
(C) Gross receipts from the sale of electricity and electric | 14793 |
transmission and distribution services shall be sitused to this | 14794 |
state in the manner provided under section 5733.059 of the Revised | 14795 |
Code. | 14796 |
(D) Gross receipts from the sale of real property located in | 14797 |
this state shall be sitused to this state. | 14798 |
(E) Gross receipts from the sale of tangible personal | 14799 |
property shall be sitused to this state if the property is | 14800 |
received in this state by the purchaser. In the case of delivery | 14801 |
of tangible personal property by common carrier or by other means | 14802 |
of transportation, the place at which such property is ultimately | 14803 |
received after all transportation has been completed shall be | 14804 |
considered the place where the purchaser receives the property. | 14805 |
For purposes of this section, the phrase "delivery of tangible | 14806 |
personal property by common carrier or by other means of | 14807 |
transportation" includes the situation in which a purchaser | 14808 |
accepts the property in this state and then transports the | 14809 |
property directly or by other means to a location outside this | 14810 |
state. Direct delivery in this state, other than for purposes of | 14811 |
transportation, to a person or firm designated by a purchaser | 14812 |
constitutes delivery to the purchaser in this state, and direct | 14813 |
delivery outside this state to a person or firm designated by a | 14814 |
purchaser does not constitute delivery to the purchaser in this | 14815 |
state, regardless of where title passes or other conditions of | 14816 |
sale. | 14817 |
(F) Gross receipts from the sale, exchange, disposition, or | 14818 |
other grant of the right to use trademarks, trade names, patents, | 14819 |
copyrights, and similar intellectual property shall be sitused to | 14820 |
this state to the extent that the receipts are based on the amount | 14821 |
of use of the property in this state. If the receipts are not | 14822 |
based on the amount of use of the property, but rather on the | 14823 |
right to use the property, and the payor has the right to use the | 14824 |
property in this state, then the receipts from the sale, exchange, | 14825 |
disposition, or other grant of the right to use such property | 14826 |
shall be sitused to this state to the extent the receipts are | 14827 |
based on the right to use the property in this state. | 14828 |
(G) Gross receipts from the sale of transportation services | 14829 |
by a common or contract carrier shall be sitused to this state in | 14830 |
proportion to the mileage traveled by the carrier during the tax | 14831 |
period on roadways, waterways, airways, and railways in this state | 14832 |
to the mileage traveled by the carrier during the tax period on | 14833 |
roadways, waterways, airways, and railways everywhere. With prior | 14834 |
written approval of the tax commissioner, a common or contract | 14835 |
carrier may use an alternative situsing procedure for | 14836 |
transportation services. | 14837 |
(H) Gross receipts from dividends, interest, and other | 14838 |
sources of income from financial instruments described in | 14839 |
divisions (F)(4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), and (13) of | 14840 |
section 5733.056 of the Revised Code shall be sitused to this | 14841 |
state in accordance with the situsing provisions set forth in | 14842 |
those divisions. When applying the provisions of divisions (F)(6), | 14843 |
(8), and (13) of section 5733.056 of the Revised Code, "gross | 14844 |
receipts" shall be substituted for "net gains" wherever "net | 14845 |
gains" appears in those divisions. Nothing in this division limits | 14846 |
or modifies the exclusions enumerated in divisions (E) and (F)(2) | 14847 |
of section 5751.01 of the Revised Code. The tax commissioner may | 14848 |
promulgate rules to further specify the manner in which to situs | 14849 |
gross receipts subject to this division. | 14850 |
(I) Gross receipts from the sale of all other services, and | 14851 |
all other gross receipts not otherwise sitused under this section, | 14852 |
shall be sitused to this state in the proportion that the | 14853 |
purchaser's benefit in this state with respect to what was | 14854 |
purchased bears to the purchaser's benefit everywhere with respect | 14855 |
to what was purchased. The physical location where the purchaser | 14856 |
ultimately uses or receives the benefit of what was purchased | 14857 |
shall be paramount in determining the proportion of the benefit in | 14858 |
this state to the benefit everywhere. If a taxpayer's records do | 14859 |
not allow the taxpayer to determine that location, the taxpayer | 14860 |
may use an alternative method to situs gross receipts under this | 14861 |
division if the alternative method is reasonable, is consistently | 14862 |
and uniformly applied, and is supported by the taxpayer's records | 14863 |
as the records exist when the service is provided or within a | 14864 |
reasonable period of time thereafter. | 14865 |
(J) If the situsing provisions of divisions (A) to (H) of | 14866 |
this section do not fairly represent the extent of a person's | 14867 |
activity in this state, the person may request, or the tax | 14868 |
commissioner may require or permit, an alternative method. Such | 14869 |
request by a person must be made within the applicable statute of | 14870 |
limitations set forth in this chapter. | 14871 |
(K) The tax commissioner may adopt rules to provide | 14872 |
additional guidance to the application of this section, and | 14873 |
provide alternative methods of situsing gross receipts that apply | 14874 |
to all persons, or subset of persons, that are engaged in similar | 14875 |
business or trade activities. | 14876 |
Sec. 5910.03. Scholarships shall be granted only to children | 14877 |
of deceased or disabled veterans of the armed services of the | 14878 |

(2) Not as a legal resident of Ohio, have resided in the | 14886 |
state for the year preceding the year in which application for the | 14887 |
scholarship is made and any other four of the last ten years; | 14888 |
(C) Be in financial need, as determined by the board. | 14889 |
Sec. 5919.31. (A) If an active duty member of the Ohio | 14890 |
national guard chooses to purchase life insurance pursuant to the | 14891 |
"Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance Act," 79 Stat. 880 et seq. | 14892 |
(1965), 38 U.S.C. 1965 et seq. and if the adjutant general | 14893 |
determines that the member is ineligible for reimbursement of | 14894 |
associated premiums under federal law, the adjutant general shall | 14895 |
reimburse the member in an amount equal to the monthly premium | 14896 |
paid for each month or part of a month by the member pursuant to | 14897 |
the act while being an active duty member. | 14898 |
(B) The adjutant general may request additional money from | 14899 |
the controlling board if the adjutant general does not have | 14900 |
sufficient available unencumbered funds to reimburse active duty | 14901 |
members for life insurance premiums pursuant to this section. | 14902 |
(C) The adjutant general may prescribe and enforce | 14903 |
regulations to implement the requirements of this section. In | 14904 |
prescribing and enforcing those regulations, the adjutant general | 14905 |
need not comply with section 111.15 or Chapter 119. of the Revised | 14906 |
Code. | 14907 |

member of the Ohio national guard on active duty pursuant to an | 14909 |
executive order of the president of the United States, the "Act of | 14910 |
October 28, 2004," 118 Stat. 1878, 32 U.S.C. 901 to 908, as | 14911 |
amended, another act of the congress of the United States, or a | 14912 |

is insufficient to support the fiscal year 2007 appropriation to | 17465 |

conjunction with funding provided in the Department of Education | 17485 |

broadens the former Joint Council of the Department of Education | 17489 |
and the Board of Regents, shall advise and make recommendations to | 17490 |
promote collaboration among relevant state entities in an effort | 17491 |
to help local communities develop coherent and successful "P-16" | 17492 |
learning systems. The Director of Budget and Management may | 17493 |

Sec. 209.63.30. ACCESS CHALLENGE | 17505 |
In each fiscal year, the foregoing appropriation item | 17506 |
235-418, Access Challenge, shall be distributed to Ohio's | 17507 |
state-assisted access colleges and universities. For the purposes | 17508 |
of this allocation, "access campuses" includes state-assisted | 17509 |
community colleges, state community colleges, technical colleges, | 17510 |
Shawnee State University, Central State University, Cleveland | 17511 |
State University, the regional campuses of state-assisted | 17512 |
universities, and, where they are organizationally distinct and | 17513 |
identifiable, the community-technical colleges located at the | 17514 |
University of Cincinnati, Youngstown State University, and the | 17515 |
University of Akron. | 17516 |
The purpose of Access Challenge is to reduce the student | 17517 |
share of costs for resident undergraduates enrolled in lower | 17518 |
division undergraduate courses at Ohio's access campuses. The | 17519 |
long-term goal is to make the student share of costs for these | 17520 |
students equivalent to the student share of costs for resident | 17521 |
undergraduate students enrolled throughout Ohio's public colleges | 17522 |
and universities. Access Challenge appropriations shall be used in | 17523 |
both years of the biennium to sustain, as much as possible, the | 17524 |
tuition restraint or tuition reduction that was achieved with | 17525 |
Access Challenge allocations in prior years. | 17526 |
In fiscal year 2006, Access Challenge subsidies shall be | 17527 |
distributed by the Board of Regents to eligible access campuses on | 17528 |
the basis of the average of each campus's share of fiscal year | 17529 |
2003 and 2004 all-terms subsidy-eligible General Studies FTEs. In | 17530 |
fiscal year 2007, Access Challenge subsidies shall be distributed | 17531 |
by the Board of Regents to eligible access campuses on the basis | 17532 |
of the average of each campus's share of fiscal year 2004 and 2005 | 17533 |
all-terms subsidy-eligible General Studies FTEs. | 17534 |
For purposes of this calculation, Cleveland State | 17535 |
University's enrollments shall be adjusted by the ratio of the sum | 17536 |
of subsidy-eligible lower-division FTE student enrollments | 17537 |
eligible for access funding to the sum of subsidy-eligible General | 17538 |
Studies FTE student enrollments at Central State University and | 17539 |
Shawnee State University, and for the following universities and | 17540 |
their regional campuses: the Ohio State University, Ohio | 17541 |
University, Kent State University, Bowling Green State University, | 17542 |
Miami University, the University of Cincinnati, the University of | 17543 |
Akron, and Wright State University. | 17544 |
Of the foregoing appropriation item 235-418, Access | 17545 |
Challenge, $10,172,626 in fiscal year 2006 and | 17546 |
$11,413,995 in fiscal year 2007 shall be used by Central State | 17547 |
University to keep undergraduate fees below the statewide average, | 17548 |
consistent with its mission of service to many first-generation | 17549 |
college students from groups historically underrepresented in | 17550 |
higher education and from families with limited incomes. | 17551 |

Consistent with the recommendations of the Governor's | 17791 |
Commission on Higher Education and the Economy, Alignment Programs | 17792 |
shall be managed and administered (1) to build on existing | 17793 |
competitive research strengths, (2) to encourage new and emerging | 17794 |
discoveries and commercialization of ideas and products that will | 17795 |
benefit the Ohio economy, and (3) to assure improved collaboration | 17796 |
among Alignment Programs, with programs administered by the Third | 17797 |
Frontier Commission, and with other state programs that are | 17798 |
intended to improve economic growth and job creation. | 17799 |
As directed by the Third Frontier Commission, Alignment | 17800 |
Program managers shall report to the Commission or to the Third | 17801 |
Frontier Advisory Board on the contributions of their programs to | 17802 |
achieving the objectives stated in the preceding paragraph. | 17803 |
Each alignment program shall be reviewed annually by the | 17804 |
Third Frontier Commission with respect to its development of | 17805 |
complementary relationships within a combined state science and | 17806 |
technology investment portfolio and its overall contribution to | 17807 |
the state's science and technology strategy, including the | 17808 |
adoption of appropriately consistent criteria for: (1) the | 17809 |
scientific merit of activities supported by the program; (2) the | 17810 |
relevance of the program's activities to commercial opportunities | 17811 |
in the private sector; (3) the private sector's involvement in a | 17812 |
process that continually evaluates commercial opportunities to use | 17813 |
the work supported by the program; and (4) the ability of the | 17814 |
program and recipients of grant funding from the program to engage | 17815 |
in activities that are collaborative, complementary, and efficient | 17816 |
with respect to the expenditure of state funds. Each alignment | 17817 |
program shall provide annual reports to the Third Frontier | 17818 |
Commission discussing existing, planned, or possible | 17819 |
collaborations between programs and recipients of grant funding | 17820 |
related to technology, development, commercialization, and | 17821 |
supporting Ohio's economic development. The annual review by the | 17822 |

convene a panel of experts. The panel shall review the proposal to | 17831 |
determine whether the proposal's requirements can be met through | 17832 |
Ohio Supercomputer Center facilities or through other means and | 17833 |
report its conclusion to the Third Frontier Commission. | 17834 |
To ensure that the state receives the maximum benefit from | 17835 |
its investment in the Third Frontier Project and the Third | 17836 |
Frontier Network, organizations receiving Third Frontier awards | 17837 |
and Alignment Program awards shall, as appropriate, be expected to | 17838 |
