Section 4. That existing Section 203.99 of Am. Sub. H.B. 66	153
of the 126th General Assembly, as most recently amended by Sub.	154
H.B. 251 and Am. Sub. H.B. 699, both of the 126th General	155
Assembly, is hereby repealed.	156

Section 5. The sections of law contained in this act are not	157
subject to the referendum. Therefore, under Ohio Constitution,	158
Article II, Section 1d and section 1.471 of the Revised Code, the	159
sections of law contained in this act go into immediate effect	160
when this act becomes law.	161

Section 6. Section 203.99 of Am. Sub. H.B. 66 of the 126th	162
General Assembly is presented in this act as a composite of the	163
section as amended by both Sub. H.B. 251 and Am. Sub. H.B. 699 of	164
the 126th General Assembly. The General Assembly, applying the	165
principle stated in division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised	166
Code that amendments are to be harmonized if reasonably capable of	167
simultaneous operation, finds that the composite is the resulting	168
version of the section in effect prior to the effective date of	169
the section as presented in this act.	170
