BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

Section 1. That section 3701.136 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:

Sec. 3701.136. (A) There is hereby created the sickle cell anemia advisory committee. The committee shall assist the director of health in fulfilling the director's duties under section 3701.131 of the Revised Code.

(B) The director shall appoint five members to the committee who are familiar with sickle cell anemia, including researchers, health care professionals, and persons personally affected by sickle cell anemia.

Not later than ninety days after the effective date of this section, the director shall make initial appointments to the committee. Of the initial appointments, one shall be for a term ending one year after the effective date of this section, two shall be for terms ending two years after that date, and two shall be for terms ending three years after that date. Thereafter, terms of office shall be three years, with each term ending on the same day of the same month as did the term that it succeeds. Each member shall hold office from the date of appointment until the end of the term for which the member was appointed. Members may be reappointed.

Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner as original appointments. Any member appointed to fill a vacancy occurring prior to the expiration of the term for which the member's predecessor was appointed shall hold office for the remainder of that term. A member shall continue in office subsequent to the expiration date of the member's term until the member's successor takes office or until a period of sixty days has elapsed, whichever occurs first.

Members of the committee shall serve without compensation, but may be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

(C) The committee shall annually select from among its members a chairperson. The committee shall meet at the call of the chairperson, but not less than twice each year. A majority of the members of the committee constitutes a quorum.
