A BILL

To enact section 121.531 of the Revised Code to prohibit spending American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funds on signs that identify the source of specific project funding and to declare an emergency.

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

Section 1. That section 121.531 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:

Sec. 121.531. No recipient or distributor of funds received under the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009," Pub. L. No. 111-5, 123 Stat. 115, shall spend such funds to purchase, produce, erect, or maintain signs identifying the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as the source of specific project funding.

Section 2. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is that as federal stimulus funds are being depleted, it is imperative that the funds be used to create jobs and stimulate economic growth in Ohio. Therefore, this act shall go into immediate effect.
