applicable to such

section 117.47 of the Revised Code, there is hereby appropriated, out of
moneys in the state treasury from the fund credited as provided in section

used for payment of guarantees by or on behalf of the state or for debt
service on bonds, notes, or certificates of participation, may be used
for the
purpose of satisfying judgments, settlements, or administrative awards ordered
or approved by the Court of Claims or any other court of competent
jurisdiction in connection with civil actions against
the state. SECTION 7 . Reappropriation of Unexpended Balances Notwithstanding section 131.33 of the Revised Code, unexpended balances of
appropriations and reappropriations against which encumbrances have been
lawfully incurred by the Industrial Commission are, at the close of fiscal
years 1999 and 2000, to
the extent of such encumbrances, hereby reappropriated from the funds from
which they were originally appropriated and reappropriated and, except for
encumbrances for items of special order manufacture not available on term
contract or open market, made available for the purpose of discharging such
encumbrances for a period of five months from the end of the fiscal year.
Unexpended balances of appropriations and reappropriations against which
encumbrances for items of special order manufacture not available on term
contract or in the open market have been lawfully incurred are, at the close
of the fiscal year, to the extent of such encumbrances, hereby reappropriated
and made available for the purpose of discharging such encumbrances for a
period of five months from the end of the fiscal year or, if the Director of
Budget and Management approves, for a period of not more than twelve months
from the end of the fiscal year. Any items for which unexpended balances are reappropriated beyond a five-month
period from the end of the fiscal year shall be reported to the Controlling
Board by the Director of Budget and Management. The report on each such item
shall include the item, the cost of the item, the vendor involved, and the
delivery date. Such reports to the board shall be updated on a quarterly
basis while the encumbrance remains open. After any such period, reappropriations made for the purpose of discharging
encumbrances for operating expenses, defined as those encumbrances incurred
for personal services, maintenance, and equipment, are canceled.
Reappropriations for encumbrances other than operating expenses or items of
special manufacture not available on term contract or in the open market may
be extended by obtaining the approval of the Director of Budget and
Management. SECTION 8 . Responsibilities of the Chairperson The Chairperson of the Industrial Commission shall, on or before

of the standing committees of the House of Representatives and Senate to which
matters dealing with workers' compensation and the Industrial Commission are
normally referred, and to ranking members of both committees. Each report
shall
contain information relative to the number of cases disposed of in the
preceding six-month period, the number of cases pending, and the
number of cases on appeal as well as the efforts the Commission has made in
maintaining and improving communication with the Administrator of Workers'
Compensation and the Bureau of Workers' Compensation. SECTION 9 . Independent and Severable Items If any item of law that constitutes the whole or
part of a codified or uncodified section of law contained in this act, or if
any application of any item of law that constitutes the whole or
part of a codified or uncodified section of law contained in this act, is held
invalid, the invalidity does not affect other items of law or
applications of items of law that can be given effect without
the invalid item of law or application. To this end, the items
of law of which the codified and uncodified sections of law contained in this
act are composed, and their applications, are independent and severable. SECTION 10 . Effective Date Except as otherwise specifically provided in this act, the
uncodified sections of law contained in this act, and the
items of law of which the uncodified sections of law contained in
this act
are composed, are not subject to the referendum. Therefore,
under Ohio Constitution, Article II, Section 1d and section
1.471 of the Revised Code, the uncodified sections of law
