(C) of section 4503.77 of the
Revised Code.
SECTION 2. That existing sections 901.04, 4501.21, 4503.77,
and
4503.78 of the
Revised Code are hereby repealed.
SECTION 3. Section 4501.21 of the Revised Code is presented
in

General Assembly, applying the
principle stated in division (B) of
section 1.52 of the Revised
