(D) The director of environmental protection may establish fees to be paid by persons, other than public officers or employees, to cover the costs of obtaining copies of documents or information submitted to the director under this chapter and rules adopted under it. The director shall not charge more than the actual cost of making and delivering such copies or of accessing any computerized data base established or used for the purposes of assisting in the administration of this chapter. (E) All moneys received by the agency under divisions (A), (C), and (D) of this section shall be transmitted to the treasurer of state to be credited to the risk management plan reporting fund, which is hereby created in the state treasury. The fund shall be administered by the director and used exclusively for the administration and enforcement of this chapter and rules adopted under it. (F) Beginning in fiscal year 2001, and every two years thereafter, the director shall review the total amount of moneys in the risk management plan reporting fund to determine if that amount exceeds seven hundred fifty thousand dollars in either of the two preceding fiscal years. If the total amount of moneys in the fund exceeded seven hundred fifty thousand dollars in either fiscal year, the director, after review of the fee structure and consultation with affected persons, shall issue an order reducing the amount of the fees levied under division (A) of this section so that the estimated amount of moneys resulting from the fees will not exceed seven hundred fifty thousand dollars in any fiscal year. If, upon review of the fees under this division and after the fees have been reduced, the director determines that the total amount of moneys collected and accumulated is less than seven hundred fifty thousand dollars, the director, after review of the fee structure and consultation with affected persons, may issue an order increasing the amount of the fees levied under division (A) of this section so that the estimated amount of moneys resulting from the fees will be approximately seven hundred fifty thousand dollars. Fees shall never be increased to an amount exceeding the amount specified in division (A) of this section. Notwithstanding section 119.06 of the Revised Code, the director may issue an order under this division without the necessity to hold an adjudicatory hearing in connection with the order. The issuance of an order under this division is not an act or action for purposes of section 3745.04 of the Revised Code. (G) This section does not apply to the owner or operator of a business that employs one hundred or fewer individuals and is a small business concern as defined in the Small Business Act, 72 Stat. 384 (1958), 15 U.S.C.A. 632, as amended.

Thereafter, such an appointing or licensing authority shall obtain a criminal records check of the same individual at three-year intervals. The appointing or licensing authority shall make available to each person of whom a criminal records check is required a copy of the form and the standard fingerprint impression sheet prescribed under divisions (C)(1) and (2) of section 109.572 of the Revised Code. The person shall complete the form and impression sheet and return them as directed by the appointing or licensing authority. If a person fails to complete and return the form and impression sheet within a reasonable time, the person is ineligible to be appointed or licensed or to continue in the appointment or licensure. The appointing or licensing authority shall cause the completed form and impression sheet to be forwarded to the superintendent of the bureau of criminal identification and investigation. The appointing or licensing authority shall request the superintendent also to obtain information from the federal bureau of investigation, including fingerprint-based checks of the national crime information databases, and from other states and the federal government under the national crime prevention and privacy compact as part of the criminal records check. For all criminal records checks conducted under this section, the applicant for a casino operator, management company, holding company, gaming-related vendor, key employee, or casino gaming employee license shall pay the fee charged by the bureau of criminal identification and investigation or by a vendor approved by the bureau to conduct a criminal records check based on the applicant's fingerprints in accordance with division (A)(15) of section 109.572 of the Revised Code. If the applicant for a key employee or casino gaming employee license is applying at the request of a casino operator, management company, holding company, or gaming-related vendor, the casino operator, management company, holding company, or gaming-related vendor shall pay the fee charged for all criminal records checks conducted under this section. The appointing or licensing authority shall review the results of a criminal records check. An appointee for a commission member shall forward the results of the criminal records check to the president of the senate before the senate advises and consents to the appointment of the commission member. The appointing authority shall not appoint or retain the appointment of a person a criminal records check discloses has been convicted of or has pleaded guilty or no contest to any gambling offense, any theft offense, any offense having an element of fraud or misrepresentation, any offense having an element of moral turpitude, and any felony not otherwise included in the foregoing list, except as otherwise provided in section 3772.10 of the Revised Code. The licensing authority shall not license a person if a criminal records check discloses that the person has been convicted of a disqualifying offense. As used in this section, "disqualifying offense" means a disqualifying offense as determined by the licensing authority under section 9.79 of the Revised Code. The report of a criminal records check is not a public record that is open to public inspection and copying. The commission shall not make the report available to any person other than the person who was the subject of the criminal records check; an appointing or licensing authority; a member, the executive director, or an employee of the commission; or any court or agency, including a hearing examiner, in a judicial or administrative proceeding relating to the person's employment or application for a license under this chapter.

April 7, 2023 House Bill 507 - 134th General Assembly (A)(1) As used in this section, "food processing establishment" has the same meaning as in section 3715.021 of the Revised Code. (2) A person that operates a food processing establishment shall register the establishment annually with the director of agriculture. The person shall submit an application for registration or renewal on a form prescribed and provided by the director. Except as provided in division (G) of this section, an application for registration or renewal shall be accompanied by a registration fee in an amount established in rules adopted under this section. If a person files an application for registration on or after the first day of August of any year, the fee shall be one-half of the annual registration fee. (B)(1) The director shall inspect the food processing establishment for which an application for initial registration has been submitted. If, upon inspection, the director finds that the establishment is in compliance with this chapter and Chapter 911., 913., 915., or 925. of the Revised Code, as applicable, or applicable rules adopted under those chapters, the director shall issue a certificate of registration to the food processing establishment.

The director shall not renew the registration until the applicant pays the late fee. (D) A copy of the food processing establishment registration certificate shall be conspicuously displayed in an area of the establishment to which customers of the establishment have access.

Except as provided in division (E)(2) of this section, a registration shall not be suspended or revoked until the registration holder is provided an opportunity to appeal the suspension or revocation in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code. (2) If the director determines that a food processing establishment presents an immediate danger to the public health, the director may issue an order immediately suspending the establishment's registration without affording the registration holder an opportunity for a hearing. The director then shall afford the registration holder an opportunity for a hearing in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code not later than ten days after the date of suspension. (3) If the director finds that a person is operating a food processing establishment without registering the establishment under this section, the director shall issue a letter of warning to the person giving the person ten days to register the establishment.

Ohio Rev. Code § 3767.50 — Ohio Revised Code / Title 37 / Chapter 3767 / § 3767.50
§ 3767.50. Action to foreclose lien on blighted parcel
Status: in_force

April 7, 2009 Senate Bill 277 - 127th General Assembly (A) For purposes of this section: (1) "Blighted parcel" has the same meaning as in section 1.08 of the Revised Code. (2) "Owner" means any of the following: (a) The owner of record as shown on the current tax list of the county auditor; (b) A person who has a freehold or lesser estate in the premises; (c) A mortgagee in possession or vendee in possession who evidences charge, care, or control of the premises, including, but not limited to, a person to whom the sheriff has issued a deed for the premises after a judicial sale regardless of whether the deed has been recorded; (d) A person who has charge, care, or control of the premises as executor, administrator, assignee, receiver, trustee, or legal guardian; (e) A person who holds the person's self out to be in charge, care, or control of the premises as evidenced by the negotiation of written or oral lease agreements for the premises, the collection of rents for the premises, the performance of maintenance or repairs on the premises, or the authorization of others to perform maintenance or repairs on the premises. (B)(1) A municipal corporation, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, has a cause of action in the environmental division of the municipal court to foreclose any existing liens upon a blighted parcel located in the municipal corporation provided that no other foreclosure action affecting the blighted parcel is being actively prosecuted in any court of record. It is an affirmative defense to an action under this division that the owner of the blighted parcel has not been in default on any mortgage on the property for twelve months or more or that there is a bankruptcy proceeding pending in which the blighted parcel has been listed as an asset. To maintain the action, it is not necessary for the municipal corporation to have a lien of its own upon the property. Rather, it is sufficient for the municipal corporation to allege that, because of the continuing existence of conditions causing the property to be a blighted parcel, the owner has defaulted on the terms of any agreement giving rise to a lien for failure to maintain the property, and then to marshal and plead for foreclosure of any or all outstanding liens upon the blighted parcel. Section 3767.50 of the Revised Code does not create a cause of action regarding any property not subject to a lien. The municipal corporation shall not marshal a lien held by the United States, a lien held by this state other than a lien for real property taxes and assessments, a lien held by a political subdivision other than itself, or a lien vested by a tax certificate held under sections 5721.30 to 5721.43 of the Revised Code. The municipal corporation shall join as a party to the action a lienholder whose lien is being marshaled and shall notify the lienholder party that the municipal corporation is proceeding to foreclose the lien under this section and that the lienholder party may remediate the conditions of the parcel constituting blight. If a lienholder party certifies to the court that the party will remediate the conditions of the parcel constituting blight within sixty days after the party is served with a copy of the complaint of the foreclosure action, the municipal corporation shall move to dismiss the action. In a judicial sale of a blighted parcel that is ordered as a result of the foreclosure action, the priority of distribution of the proceeds from the sale shall not be altered because the municipal corporation marshaled and foreclosed on one or more liens. Rather, proceeds from the sale shall be distributed according to the priorities otherwise established by law. (2) The environmental division of the municipal court has exclusive original jurisdiction of an action under this section. (C)(1) With respect to any blighted parcel that is or may be subject to an action under this section, the municipal corporation may notify the taxing authority of each taxing unit in which the blighted parcel is located that the municipal corporation is proceeding to foreclose the lien under this section. The notice shall state that the taxing authority may preserve its claim on any distributions of delinquent or unpaid taxes and assessments charged against the blighted parcel and arising from the judicial sale proceeds by responding in writing to the municipal corporation within a period of time to be specified in the notice. The written response shall be certified by the taxing authority or by the fiscal officer or other person authorized by the taxing authority to respond. If such a response is received by the municipal corporation within the specified time, or if such a notice is not provided, the taxing authority's claim on distributions of delinquent or unpaid taxes and assessments charged against the blighted parcel and payable from proceeds of the judicial sale shall be preserved and shall be disposed of in the priority and manner otherwise prescribed by law. If such a notice is provided and the response is not received within the specified time, the taxing authority's claim on the delinquent or unpaid taxes and assessments is extinguished, the lien for such taxes is satisfied and discharged to the extent of that claim, and the blighted parcel may be sold at judicial sale free and clear of such lien to that extent, unless the successful bidder at the judicial sale is a lienholder of the blighted parcel. If the successful bidder is a lienholder of the blighted parcel, the lien for all delinquent or unpaid taxes and assessments charged against the blighted parcel shall continue until discharged as otherwise provided by law. (2) The taxing authority of a taxing unit and a municipal corporation may enter into an agreement whereby the taxing authority consents in advance to release the taxing authority's claim on distributions of delinquent or unpaid taxes and assessments charged against blighted parcels in the taxing unit's territory and waives its right to prior notice and response under division (C)(1) of this section. The agreement shall provide for any terms and conditions on the release of such claim as are mutually agreeable to the taxing authority and municipal corporation, including any option vesting in the taxing authority the right to revoke its release with respect to any blighted parcel before the release becomes effective, and the manner in which notice of such revocation shall be effected.

(C) Notwithstanding division (B) of this section, no applicant shall be denied the issuance or renewal of a permit or license on the basis of a conviction of any individual or business concern required to be listed in the disclosure statement or shown to have a beneficial interest in the business of the applicant or the permittee, other than an equity interest or debt liability, by the investigation thereof for any of the offenses enumerated in that division as disqualification criteria if that applicant has affirmatively demonstrated rehabilitation of the individual or business concern by a preponderance of the evidence. If any such individual was convicted of any of the offenses so enumerated that are felonies, a permit shall be denied unless five years have elapsed since the individual was fully discharged from imprisonment and parole for the offense, from a community control sanction imposed under section 2929.15 of the Revised Code, from a post-release control sanction imposed under section 2967.28 of the Revised Code for the offense, or imprisonment, probation, and parole for an offense that was committed prior to July 1, 1996. In determining whether an applicant has affirmatively demonstrated rehabilitation, the director or the board of health shall request a recommendation on the matter from the attorney general and shall consider and base the determination on the following factors: (1) The nature and responsibilities of the position a convicted individual would hold; (2) The nature and seriousness of the offense; (3) The circumstances under which the offense occurred; (4) The date of the offense; (5) The age of the individual when the offense was committed; (6) Whether the offense was an isolated or repeated incident; (7) Any social conditions that may have contributed to the offense; (8) Any evidence of rehabilitation, including good conduct in prison or in the community, counseling or psychiatric treatment received, acquisition of additional academic or vocational schooling, successful participation in correctional work release programs, or the recommendation of persons who have or have had the applicant under their supervision; (9) In the instance of an applicant that is a business concern, rehabilitation shall be established if the applicant has implemented formal management controls to minimize and prevent the occurrence of violations and activities that will or may result in permit or license denial or revocation or if the applicant has formalized those controls as a result of a revocation or denial of a permit or license. Those controls may include, but are not limited to, instituting environmental auditing programs to help ensure the adequacy of internal systems to achieve, maintain, and monitor compliance with applicable environmental laws and standards or instituting an antitrust compliance auditing program to help ensure full compliance with applicable antitrust laws. The business concern shall prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the management controls are effective in preventing the violations that are the subject of concern. (D) Unless the director or the board of health finds that the applicant has a history of compliance with environmental laws in this state and other jurisdictions and is presently in substantial compliance with, or on a legally enforceable schedule that will result in compliance with, environmental laws in this state and other jurisdictions; (E) With respect to the approval of a permit, if the director determines that current prosecutions or pending charges in any jurisdiction for any of the offenses enumerated in division (B) of this section against any individual or business concern required to be listed in the disclosure statement or shown by the investigation to have a beneficial interest in the business of the applicant other than an equity interest or debt liability are of such magnitude that they prevent making the finding required under division (A) of this section, provided that at the request of the applicant or the individual or business concern charged, the director shall defer decision upon the application during the pendency of the charge. (F) The director or the board of health shall not refuse to issue a permit or license to an applicant because of a conviction of an offense unless the refusal is in accordance with section 9.79 of the Revised Code.

Status: in_force

July 26, 1991 House Bill 298 - 119th General Assembly (A) There is hereby created in the state treasury the emergency planning and community right-to-know reserve fund consisting of all moneys credited to it under section 3750.14 of the Revised Code. Fifty per cent of the moneys in the reserve fund shall be used for the grant program under division (B) of this section, and fifty per cent of the moneys shall be held in reserve for the purposes of division (C) of this section. The emergency response commission shall administer the reserve fund. (B) The commission may make grants from the reserve fund to the commission, local emergency planning committees, and fire departments for the development and implementation of chemical emergency response and preparedness plans, advanced training, data management, performing hazard analysis and vulnerability studies for purposes of developing or revising their plans, and the acquisition of first response equipment. No more than twenty-five per cent of the moneys available for grants in any year shall be available to the commission. A fire department may apply for and receive a grant only through the committee for the local emergency planning district in which the fire department is located. Grants to committees and fire departments for advanced training, data management, performing hazard analysis and vulnerability studies, or the acquisition of first response equipment shall be made only when expenditures for that purpose are identified as being needed in the chemical emergency response and preparedness plan of the district prepared under section 3750.04 of the Revised Code or in the most recent review of the plan conducted under division (C) of that section. The commission shall make grants under this division in accordance with rules adopted under division (B)(7) of section 3750.02 of the Revised Code governing the awarding of those grants. Each application for a grant under this division shall be made in accordance with rules adopted under division (B)(7) of section 3750.02 of the Revised Code governing applications for grants under this division and shall demonstrate that the grant will enhance the ability of the recipient or, in the case of the commission, the state as a whole to prepare for and respond to releases of hazardous substances and extremely hazardous substances. All applications for grants from the reserve fund to a committee and to fire departments within the jurisdiction of a committee shall be submitted by the committee to the commission at the same time. Each application from a committee shall demonstrate that expenditures from applicable local revenues for the purpose of preparedness for emergency response to those releases and for administration of the district's emergency response program did not decline during the immediately preceding three years. No grant under this division shall exceed one hundred thousand dollars. No grant shall be made under this division unless the grantee provides matching funds equal to twenty-five per cent of the amount requested. If two or more committees submit a joint application for a grant to promote cooperative emergency planning and training or to share first response equipment, the matching requirement shall be reduced to ten per cent of the amount requested. The matching funds required by this division may consist of contributions of money by any person or of contributions in kind through the purchase of first response equipment; however, moneys allocated under section 3750.14 of the Revised Code shall not be used to provide any of the matching funds required by this division. Grant moneys awarded to the commission under this division may be expended, by contract, to support the participation of any state agency in chemical emergency response planning and training or to acquire first response equipment for any state agency whose needs have been identified in the state emergency response plan prepared under division (B)(13) of section 3750.02 of the Revised Code. The state agency receiving moneys from the commission shall provide the required matching funds from moneys available to the agency, other than those received under division (D)(2) of section 3750.14 of the Revised Code. Grant moneys awarded under this division shall not be used to do either of the following: (1) Reimburse any person for expenditures incurred for emergency response and cleanup of a release of oil, a hazardous substance, or an extremely hazardous substance; (2) Perform any assessment of damages to natural resources resulting from a release of oil, a hazardous substance, or an extremely hazardous substance. (C) If in any fiscal year less than five million dollars is credited to the emergency planning and community right-to-know fund created in section 3750.14 of the Revised Code, the director of budget and management, upon the certification of the commission, may transfer up to fifty per cent of the moneys in the reserve fund to that fund. The director shall transfer only such amounts of the reserve fund to the fund as are necessary to ensure that all budgetary requirements of the fund are met, provided that expenditures from the fund shall not exceed five million dollars during any fiscal year.
