within ninety days after receiving notice that the employee has587
been credited with the purchased service credit, the system shall588
refund to the employing unit the amount paid for the service589
credit.590

       No payment made to the public employees retirement system591
under this section shall affect any payment required by section592
145.48 of the Revised Code.593

       (B) Each academic distress commission shall consist of five 2785
voting members, three of whom shall be appointed by the 2786

president of the district board to submit to the superintendent 2793
of public instruction, in writing, the names of the president's 2794
appointees to the commission. The superintendent of public 2795
instruction and the president of the district board shall make 2796

appoint a successor within fifteen days after the vacancy occurs. 2803
Members shall serve without compensation, but shall be paid by the 2804
commission their necessary and actual expenses incurred while 2805
engaged in the business of the commission.2806

       (C) Immediately after appointment of the initial members of 2807
an academic distress commission, the superintendent of public 2808
instruction shall call the first meeting of the commission and 2809
shall cause written notice of the time, date, and place of that 2810
meeting to be given to each member of the commission at least 2811
forty-eight hours in advance of the meeting. The first meeting 2812
shall include an overview of the commission's roles and 2813
responsibilities, the requirements of section 2921.42 and Chapter 2814

also shall appoint a secretary, who shall not be a member of the 2826
commission.2827

        The department of education shall provide administrative 2828
support for the commission, provide data requested by the 2829
commission, and inform the commission of available state resources 2830
that could assist the commission in its work.2831

        (D) Each academic distress commission may adopt and alter 2832
bylaws and rules, which shall not be subject to section 111.15 or 2833
Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, for the conduct of its affairs 2834
and for the manner, subject to this section, in which its powers 2835
and functions shall be exercised and embodied.2836

        (E) Three members of an academic distress commission 2837
constitute a quorum of the commission. The affirmative vote of 2838
three members of the commission is necessary for any action taken 2839
by vote of the commission. No vacancy in the membership of the 2840
commission shall impair the rights of a quorum by such vote to 2841
exercise all the rights and perform all the duties of the 2842
commission. Members of the commission are not disqualified from 2843
voting by reason of the functions of any other office they hold 2844
and are not disqualified from exercising the functions of the 2845
other office with respect to the school district, its officers, or 2846
the commission.2847

        (F) The members of an academic distress commission, the 2848
superintendent of public instruction, and any person authorized to 2849
act on behalf of or assist them shall not be personally liable or 2850
subject to any suit, judgment, or claim for damages resulting from 2851
the exercise of or failure to exercise the powers, duties, and 2852
functions granted to them in regard to their functioning under 2853
this section, but the commission, superintendent of public 2854
instruction, and such other persons shall be subject to mandamus 2855
proceedings to compel performance of their duties under this 2856
section.2857

of an academic distress commission, the commission shall adopt an 2865
academic recovery plan to improve academic performance in the 2866
school district. The plan shall address academic problems at both 2867
the district and school levels. The plan shall include the 2868
following:2869

        (a) Short-term and long-term actions to be taken to improve 2870
the district's academic performance, including any actions 2871
required by section 3302.04 or 3302.041 of the Revised Code;2872

        (b) The sequence and timing of the actions described in 2873

least annually.2884

        (3) The commission shall submit the academic recovery plan it 2885
adopts or updates to the superintendent of public instruction for 2886
approval immediately following its adoption or updating. The 2887
superintendent shall evaluate the plan and either approve or 2888
disapprove it within thirty days after its submission. If the plan 2889
is disapproved, the superintendent shall recommend modifications 2890
that will render it acceptable. No academic distress commission 2891
shall implement an academic recovery plan unless the 2892
superintendent has approved it.2893

        (4) County, state, and school district officers and employees 2894
shall assist the commission diligently and promptly in the 2895
implementation of the academic recovery plan.2896

        (J) Each academic distress commission shall seek input from 2897
the district board of education regarding ways to improve the 2898
district's academic performance, but any decision of the 2899
commission related to any authority granted to the commission 2900
under this section shall be final.2901

       (K) If the board of education of a district for which an 2915
academic distress commission has been established under this 2916
section renews any collective bargaining agreement under Chapter 2917
4117. of the Revised Code during the existence of the commission, 2918
the district board shall not enter into any agreement that would 2919
render any decision of the commission unenforceable. Section 2920
3302.08 of the Revised Code does not apply to this division.2921

       Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Chapter 2922
4117. of the Revised Code, if the board of education has entered 2923
into a collective bargaining agreement after September 29, 2005, 2924
that contains stipulations relinquishing one or more of the 2925
rights or responsibilities listed in division (C) of section 2926
4117.08 of the Revised Code, those stipulations are not 2927
enforceable and the district board shall resume holding those 2928
rights or responsibilities as if it had not relinquished them in 2929
that agreement until such time as both the academic distress 2930
commission ceases to exist and the district board agrees to 2931
relinquish those rights or responsibilities in a new collective 2932
bargaining agreement. The provisions of this paragraph apply to a 2933
collective bargaining agreement entered into after September 29, 2934
2005, and those provisions are deemed to be part of that 2935
agreement regardless of whether the district satisfied the 2936
conditions prescribed in division (A) of this section at the time 2937
the district entered into that agreement.2938

       (L) An academic distress commission shall cease to exist 2939
when the district for which it was established receives a 2940
performance rating under section 3302.03 of the Revised Code of in 2941
need of continuous improvement or better for two of the three 2942
prior school years; however, the superintendent of public 2943
instruction may dissolve the commission earlier if the 2944
superintendent determines that the district can perform adequately 2945
without the supervision of the commission. Upon termination of the 2946
commission, the department of education shall compile a final 2947
report of the commission's activities to assist other academic 2948
distress commissions in the conduct of their functions.2949

which to meet the needs of the state, for the use of the general3824
revenue fund of the state, for the purpose of securing a thorough3825

the purpose of affording revenues, in addition to those from3827
general property taxes, permitted under constitutional3828
limitations, and from other sources, for the support of local3829
governmental functions, and for the purpose of reimbursing the3830
state for the expense of administering this chapter, an excise tax3831
is hereby levied on each retail sale made in this state.3832

       (A)(1) The tax shall be collected as provided in section 3833
5739.025 of the Revised Code. The rate of the tax shall be five 3834
and one-half per cent. The tax applies and is collectible when 3835

or delivered.3837

        (2) In the case of the lease or rental, with a fixed term of 3838
more than thirty days or an indefinite term with a minimum period 3839

manufacturer to carry a load of not more than one ton, watercraft, 3841
outboard motor, or aircraft, or of any tangible personal property, 3842
other than motor vehicles designed by the manufacturer to carry a 3843
load of more than one ton, to be used by the lessee or renter 3844
primarily for business purposes, the tax shall be collected by the 3845
vendor at the time the lease or rental is consummated and shall be 3846
calculated by the vendor on the basis of the total amount to be 3847
paid by the lessee or renter under the lease agreement. If the 3848
total amount of the consideration for the lease or rental includes 3849
amounts that are not calculated at the time the lease or rental is 3850
executed, the tax shall be calculated and collected by the vendor 3851
at the time such amounts are billed to the lessee or renter. In 3852
the case of an open-end lease or rental, the tax shall be 3853
calculated by the vendor on the basis of the total amount to be 3854
paid during the initial fixed term of the lease or rental, and for 3855
each subsequent renewal period as it comes due. As used in this 3856
division, "motor vehicle" has the same meaning as in section 3857
4501.01 of the Revised Code, and "watercraft" includes an outdrive 3858
unit attached to the watercraft.3859

       A lease with a renewal clause and a termination penalty or 3860
similar provision that applies if the renewal clause is not 3861
exercised is presumed to be a sham transaction. In such a case, 3862
the tax shall be calculated and paid on the basis of the entire 3863
length of the lease period, including any renewal periods, until 3864
the termination penalty or similar provision no longer applies. 3865
The taxpayer shall bear the burden, by a preponderance of the 3866
evidence, that the transaction or series of transactions is not a 3867
sham transaction.3868

       (3) Except as provided in division (A)(2) of this section, in 3869

part of the lease or rental of tangible personal property, the tax 3871
shall be measured by the installments of that lease or rental.3872

       (4) In the case of a sale of a physical fitness facility 3873
service or recreation and sports club service, the price of which 3874
consists in whole or in part of a membership for the receipt of 3875
