September 29, 2015 House Bill 64 - 131st General Assembly (A) As used in this section: (1) An "accredited Ohio thoroughbred horse" means a horse conceived in this state and born in this state which is both of the following: (a) Born of a mare that is domiciled in this state at the time of the horse's conception, that remains continuously in the state through the date on which the horse is born, and that is registered as required by the rules of the state racing commission; (b) By a stallion that stands for breeding purposes only in this state in the year in which the horse is conceived, and that is registered as required by the rules of the commission. (2) An "Ohio foaled horse" means a horse registered as required by the rules of the state racing commission which is either of the following: (a) A horse born of a mare that enters this state before foaling and remains continuously in this state until the horse is born; (b) A thoroughbred foal produced within the state by any broodmare shipped into the state to foal and be bred to a registered Ohio stallion. To qualify this foal as an Ohio foaled horse, the broodmare shall remain in this state one year continuously after foaling or continuously through foaling to the cover of the Ohio stallion, whichever is sooner. All horses previously registered as Ohio conceived and foaled shall be considered as Ohio foaled horses effective January 1, 1976. Any thoroughbred mare may leave this state for periods of time for purposes of activities such as veterinary treatment or surgery, sales purposes, breeding purposes, racing purposes, and similar activities if permission is granted by the state racing commission and the mare is returned to this state immediately upon the conclusion of the requested activity. (3) "Horse," "stallion," "mare," or "foal" means a horse of the thoroughbred breed as distinguished from a horse of the standard breed or any other breed, and "race" means a race for thoroughbred horses conducted by a permit holder of the state racing commission. (4) "Horse" includes animals of all ages and of both sexes. (B) There is hereby created in the state treasury the Ohio thoroughbred race fund, to consist of moneys paid into it pursuant to sections 3769.08 and 3769.087 of the Revised Code. All investment earnings on the cash balances in the fund shall be credited to it. Moneys to the credit of the fund shall be distributed on order of the state racing commission. The commission, with the advice and assistance of the Ohio thoroughbred racing advisory committee, shall use the fund, except as provided in divisions (C)(2) and (3) and (D) of this section, to promote races and provide purses for races for horses in the following classes: (1) Accredited Ohio thoroughbred horses; (2) Ohio foaled horses. Not less than ten nor more than twenty-five per cent of the total money to be paid from the fund for all types of races shall be allocated to races restricted to accredited Ohio thoroughbred horses. The commission may combine the classes of horses described in divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this section in one race, except in stakes races. (C)(1) Each permit holder conducting thoroughbred races shall schedule races each week for horses in the classes named in division (B) of this section; the number of the races shall be prescribed by the state racing commission. The commission, pursuant to division (B) of this section, shall prescribe the class or classes of the races to be held by each permit holder and, with the advice of the Ohio thoroughbred racing advisory committee, shall fix the dates and conditions of the races and the amount of moneys to be paid from the Ohio thoroughbred race fund to be added in each race to the minimum purse established by the permit holder for the class of race held. (2) The commission, with the advice of the Ohio thoroughbred racing advisory committee, may provide for stakes races to be run each year, and fix the number of stakes races and the time, place, and conditions under which each shall be run. The commission shall fix the amount of moneys to be paid from the Ohio thoroughbred race fund to be added to the purse provided for each stakes race by the permit holder, except that, in at least four stakes races each year, the commission shall require, if four stakes races can be arranged, that the permit holder conducting the stakes race provide no less than fifteen thousand dollars for the purse for the stakes race, and the commission shall provide moneys from the fund to be added to the purse in an amount equal to or greater than the amount provided by the permit holder. The commission may require a nominating, sustaining, and entry fee not to exceed one per cent of the money added from the fund for each horse in any stakes race, which fee shall be added to the purse for the race. Stakes races where money is added from the Ohio thoroughbred race fund shall be open only to accredited Ohio thoroughbred horses and Ohio foaled horses. Twenty-five per cent of the total moneys to be paid from the fund for stakes races shall be allocated to races for only accredited Ohio thoroughbred horses. The commission may require a nominating, sustaining, and entry fee, not to exceed one per cent of the money added from the fund, for each horse in any of these stakes races. These fees shall be accumulated by the commission and shall be paid out by the commission at its discretion as part of the purse money for additional races. (3) The commission may pay from the Ohio thoroughbred race fund to the breeder of a horse of class (1) or (2) of division (B) of this section winning first, second, or third prize money of a purse for a thoroughbred race an amount not to exceed fifteen per cent of the first, second, or third prize money of the purse. For the purposes of this division, the term "breeder" shall be defined by rule of the commission. The commission also may provide for stallion owners' awards in an amount equal to not less than three nor more than ten per cent of the first, second, or third place share of the purse. The award shall be paid to the owner of the stallion, provided that the stallion was standing in this state as provided in division (A)(1)(b) of this section at the time the horse placing first, second, or third was conceived. (D) The state racing commission may provide for the expenditure of moneys from the Ohio thoroughbred race fund in an amount not to exceed in any one calendar year ten per cent of the total amount received in the account that year to provide for research projects directed toward improving the breeding, raising, racing, and health and soundness of thoroughbred horses in the state and toward education or promotion of the industry. Research for which the moneys from the fund may be used may include, but shall not be limited to, studies of pre-race blood testing, post-race testing, improvement of the breed, and nutrition. (E) The state racing commission shall appoint qualified personnel as may be required to supervise registration of horses under the terms of this section, to determine the eligibility of horses for accredited Ohio thoroughbred races, Ohio foaled races, and the stakes races authorized by division (C)(2) of this section, and to assist the Ohio thoroughbred racing advisory committee and the commission in determining the conditions, class, and quality of the race program to be established under this section so as to carry out the purposes of this section. The personnel shall serve at the pleasure of the commission, and compensation shall be fixed by the commission. The compensation of the personnel and necessary expenses shall be paid out of the Ohio thoroughbred race fund. The commission shall adopt rules as are necessary to carry out this section and shall administer the stakes race program and other races supported by the Ohio thoroughbred race fund in a manner best designed to aid in the development of the thoroughbred horse industry in the state, to upgrade the quality of horse racing in the state, and to improve the quality of horses conceived and foaled in the state. (F) The state racing commission shall adopt rules regarding the maintenance and use of money collected for quarter horse development and purses under division (C) of section 3769.08 and division (A) of section 3769.087 of the Revised Code.

§ 3734.55. Preliminary review of draft plan
Status: in_force

September 10, 2012 House Bill 487 - 129th General Assembly (A) Upon completion of its draft solid waste management plan under section 3734.54 of the Revised Code, the solid waste management policy committee of a county or joint solid waste management district shall send a copy of the draft plan to the director of environmental protection for preliminary review and comment. Within forty-five days after receiving the draft plan, the director shall provide the committee with a written, nonbinding advisory opinion regarding the draft plan and any recommended changes to it that the director considers necessary to effect its approval. After receipt of the director's written opinion, the committee may make such revisions to the draft plan based on the director's opinion as it considers appropriate. Upon receipt of the director's opinion and after making any such revisions to the draft plan, the committee shall prepare and publish in at least one newspaper of general circulation within the county or joint district a public notice that describes the draft plan, specifies the location where it is available for review, and establishes a period of thirty days for comments concerning the draft plan. The committee shall send written notice of the draft plan to adjacent county and joint districts and shall make it available for review by those districts, by the board of county commissioners of each county forming the district, by all municipal corporations and townships within the county or joint district, and by the public. The committee also shall send written notice of the plan to the director and to the fifty industrial, commercial, or institutional generators of solid wastes within the district that generate the largest quantities of solid wastes, as determined by the board, and their local trade associations. The board shall make good faith efforts to identify those generators within the district and their local trade associations, but the nonprovision of notice under this division to a particular industrial, commercial, or institutional generator or local trade association does not invalidate the proceedings under this section. All such written notices shall include the date, time, and location of the public hearing; the dates when the comment period begins and ends; and a description of the plan that includes, without limitation, the proposed amount of the fees to be levied under the plan pursuant to division (B) of section 3734.57 or division (A) of section 3734.573 of the Revised Code, if any, and an indication as to whether the provision required to be included in the plan under division (E)(1) of section 3734.53 of the Revised Code authorizes the board of county commissioners or directors of the district to establish, or precludes the board from establishing, facility designations under section 343.014 of the Revised Code. Within fifteen days after expiration of the comment period, the committee shall conduct a public hearing concerning the draft plan and, at least fifteen days before the hearing, shall publish in at least one newspaper of general circulation within the county or joint district a notice containing the time and place of the hearing and the location where the draft plan is available for review. (B) After the public hearing, the committee may modify the draft plan based upon the public's comments and shall adopt or reject it by a majority vote. Within thirty days after adoption of the draft plan, the committee shall deliver a copy of it to the board of county commissioners of each county forming the district and to the legislative authority of each municipal corporation and township under the jurisdiction of the district. Within ninety days after receiving a copy of the draft plan adopted by the committee, each such board and legislative authority shall approve or disapprove the draft plan, by ordinance or resolution, and deliver a copy of the ordinance or resolution to the committee. The solid waste management policy committee of a county district or a joint district formed by two or three counties shall declare the draft plan to be ratified as the solid waste management plan of the district upon determining that the board of county commissioners of each county forming the district has approved the draft plan and that the legislative authorities of a combination of municipal corporations and townships with a combined population within the county or joint district comprising at least sixty per cent of the total population of the district have approved the draft plan, provided that in the case of a county district, that combination shall include the municipal corporation having the largest population within the boundaries of the district, and provided further that in the case of a joint district formed by two or three counties, that combination shall include for each county forming the joint district the municipal corporation having the largest population within the boundaries of both the county in which the municipal corporation is located and the joint district. The solid waste management policy committee of a joint district formed by four or more counties shall declare the draft plan to be ratified as the solid waste management plan of the joint district upon determining that the boards of county commissioners of a majority of the counties forming the district have approved the draft plan; that, in each of a majority of the counties forming the joint district, the draft plan has been approved by the municipal corporation having the largest population within the county and the joint district; and that the legislative authorities of a combination of municipal corporations and townships with a combined population within the joint district comprising at least sixty per cent of the total population of the joint district have approved the draft plan. For the purposes of this division and division (C)(2) of this section, only the population of the unincorporated area of a township shall be considered. For the purpose of determining the largest municipal corporation within each county under this division and division (C)(2) of this section, a municipal corporation that is located in more than one solid waste management district, but that is under the jurisdiction of one county or joint solid waste management district in accordance with division (A) of section 3734.52 of the Revised Code shall be considered to be within the boundaries of the county in which a majority of the population of the municipal corporation resides. (C)(1) Upon ratification of the draft plan under division (B) of this section, the committee shall submit it to the director for review and approval for compliance with the requirements of divisions (A), (B), (D), and (E)(1) of section 3734.53 of the Revised Code. The director, by order, shall approve or disapprove the plan within ninety days after its submission. The director shall include with an order disapproving a plan a statement outlining the deficiencies in the plan and directing the committee to submit, within ninety days after issuance of the order, a revised plan that remedies those deficiencies, except that if the committee, by resolution, requests an extension of the time for submission of a revised plan, the director, for good cause shown, may grant one such extension for a period of not more than sixty additional days. (2) Within sixty days after issuance of the order disapproving its plan, the committee shall prepare a draft revised plan, adopt a draft revised plan by a majority vote, and deliver a copy of the draft revised plan to the board of county commissioners of each county forming the district and to the legislative authority of each municipal corporation and township under the jurisdiction of the district. Within twenty-one days after the delivery of the draft revised plan, each such board and legislative authority shall approve or disapprove the draft revised plan, by ordinance or resolution, and deliver a copy of the ordinance or resolution to the committee. In the case of a county district or a joint district formed by two or three counties, the committee shall declare the draft revised plan to be ratified as the solid waste management plan of the county or joint district upon determining that the board of county commissioners of each county forming the district has approved the draft revised plan and that the legislative authorities of a combination of municipal corporations and townships with a combined population within the district comprising at least sixty per cent of the total population of the district have approved the draft revised plan, provided that in the case of a county district, that combination shall include the municipal corporation having the largest population within the boundaries of the district, and provided further that in the case of a joint district formed by two or three counties, that combination shall include for each county forming the joint district the municipal corporation having the largest population within the boundaries of both the county in which the municipal corporation is located and the joint district. In the case of a joint district formed by four or more counties, the committee shall declare the draft revised plan to be ratified as the solid waste management plan of the joint district upon determining that the boards of county commissioners of a majority of the counties forming the district have approved the draft revised plan; that, in each of a majority of the counties forming the joint district, the draft revised plan has been approved by the municipal corporation having the largest population within the county and the joint district; and that the legislative authorities of a combination of municipal corporations and townships with a combined population within the joint district comprising at least sixty per cent of the total population of the joint district have approved the draft revised plan. Upon ratification of the draft revised plan, the committee shall submit it to the director for approval in accordance with division (C)(1) of this section. The director, by order, shall approve or disapprove the draft revised plan within thirty days after receiving it. (3) Notwithstanding section 119.06 of the Revised Code, the director may approve or disapprove a plan or revised plan submitted under division (C)(1) or (2) of this section by issuance of a final order that is effective upon issuance, without the necessity to hold any adjudication hearing in connection with the order and without issuance of a proposed action under section 3745.07 of the Revised Code. In any appeal taken under section 3745.04 of the Revised Code pertaining to the director's disapproval of the solid waste management plan or revised plan of a county or joint district, the solid waste management policy committee of the county or joint district and the director shall be the parties. Upon a showing by the policy committee that there is a substantial likelihood that it will prevail on the merits, the environmental review appeals commission, within thirty days after filing of the notice of appeal under that section and pending final determination of the appeal, may grant temporary relief from the director's order disapproving the district's plan, including the issuance of appropriate orders to the director to refrain from acting under division (D) of this section. (4) After approval of the plan or revised plan by the director, the board of county commissioners of a county district or board of directors of a joint district shall implement the plan in compliance with the implementation schedule contained in the approved plan. The committee annually shall review implementation of the plan approved under this section or section 3734.521 of the Revised Code and subsequent amended plans approved under section 3734.521 or 3734.56 of the Revised Code and report its findings and recommendations regarding implementation of the plan to the board of county commissioners or board of directors of the district. (D) If the director finds that a county or joint solid waste management district has failed to obtain approval of its solid waste management plan within eighteen months after the applicable date prescribed for submission of its plan under division (A) of section 3734.54 of the Revised Code or within twenty-four months after that date if the date for submission was extended under that division, the director shall prepare a solid waste management plan for the county or joint district that complies with divisions (A) and (D) of section 3734.53 of the Revised Code. The plan shall not contain any of the provisions required or authorized to be included in plans submitted by districts under division (B), (C), or (E) of that section. Upon completion of the plan, the director shall issue an order in accordance with Chapter 3745. of the Revised Code directing the board of county commissioners or board of directors of the district to implement the plan in compliance with the implementation schedule contained in it. Within thirty days after the effective date of the order to implement the plan, the board of county commissioners or board of directors of the district shall determine whether the solid waste management policy committee of the district should continue to exist to monitor implementation of the plan or for the purposes of division (B) of section 3734.57 or section 3734.574 of the Revised Code. The board, by resolution, may abolish the committee if it determines that the committee is not necessary for any of those purposes. If the board of county commissioners or directors of a district that has so abolished the policy committee of the district finds that it is necessary or appropriate for the district to consider levying fees under section 3734.574 of the Revised Code, the board shall reestablish and convene the policy committee to initiate proceedings to levy the fees. If the fees are levied, the policy committee shall continue to exist for as long as the district is levying the fees. If, after a policy committee is convened to initiate proceedings to levy those fees, the fees are not levied or are abolished under section 3734.574 of the Revised Code, the board, by resolution, may abolish the committee if it determines that the committee is not necessary to monitor implementation of the plan. (E) If the director finds that the board of county commissioners or the board of directors of a district has materially failed to implement the district's plan or amended plan approved under division (C) of this section or section 3734.521 or 3734.56 of the Revised Code, or prepared and ordered to be implemented under division (D) of this section or section 3734.521 or 3734.56 of the Revised Code, in compliance with the implementation schedule contained in the plan or amended plan, the director shall issue an enforcement order under division (A) of section 3734.13 of the Revised Code directing the board to comply with the implementation schedule in the plan or amended plan within a specified, reasonable time. If the director finds that the board of county commissioners or directors of a district for which the provision included in the district's initial or amended plan approved under section 3734.521 , 3734.55 , or 3734.56 of the Revised Code pursuant to division (E)(1) or (2)(b) or (c) of section 3734.53 of the Revised Code, or an amendment to the district's approved initial or amended plan adopted and ratified under division (F) of section 3734.56 of the Revised Code, precludes the board from establishing facility designations under section 343.014 of the Revised Code has initiated proceedings to establish facility designations in violation of that section and the district's initial or amended plan, the director shall issue an enforcement order under division (A) of section 3734.13 of the Revised Code directing the board, at the board's discretion, to either abandon the proceedings or suspend them until after the board has adopted and obtained ratification of an amendment to the district's initial or amended plan under division (F) of section 3734.56 of the Revised Code that authorizes the board to establish facility designations under section 343.014 of the Revised Code. If the director finds that a board of county commissioners or directors of a district for which the provision included in the district's initial or amended plan approved under section 3734.521 , 3734.55 , or 3734.56 of the Revised Code pursuant to division (E)(1) or (2)(b) or (c) of section 3734.53 of the Revised Code, or an amendment to the district's approved initial or amended plan adopted and ratified under division (F) of section 3734.56 of the Revised Code, authorizes the board to establish facility designations under section 343.014 of the Revised Code has established facility designations under section 343.014 of the Revised Code or continued facility designations under section 343.015 of the Revised Code and subsequently has initiated proceedings to terminate any such facility designations in violation of section 343.014 of the Revised Code and the district's initial or amended plan, the director shall issue an enforcement order under division (A) of section 3734.13 of the Revised Code directing the board, at the board's discretion, to either abandon the proceedings or adopt and obtain ratification of an amendment to the district's initial or amended plan under division (F) of section 3734.56 of the Revised Code that precludes the board from establishing facility designations under section 343.014 of the Revised Code. (F) The director shall maintain a record of the county and joint solid waste management district solid waste management plans and amended plans that the director has approved or ordered to be implemented under this section, section 3734.521 , and section 3734.56 of the Revised Code. (G)(1) As used in divisions (C)(4), (D)(1) and (2), and (E) of this section and section 3734.521 of the Revised Code, any reference to a board of county commissioners of a county or a board of directors of a joint solid waste management district is deemed to include the board of trustees of a regional solid waste management authority formed under section 343.011 of the Revised Code. (2) As used in this section and sections 3734.521 and 3734.57 of the Revised Code, "deliver" includes mailing as well as delivery by a means other than mailing.

Any order issued under division (C)(1) of this section shall not become final until thirty days after it has been served by certified mail upon the county or joint solid waste management district that will receive the out-of-district wastes. (2) Governing the maintenance, protection, and use of solid waste collection, storage, disposal, transfer, recycling, processing, and resource recovery facilities within the district and requiring the submission of general plans and specifications for the construction, enlargement, or modification of any such facility to the board of county commissioners or board of directors of the district for review and approval as complying with the plan or amended plan of the district; (3) Governing development and implementation of a program for the inspection of solid wastes generated outside the boundaries of the state that are being disposed of at solid waste facilities included in the district's plan; (4) Exempting the owner or operator of any existing or proposed solid waste facility provided for in the plan from compliance with any amendment to a township zoning resolution adopted under section 519.12 of the Revised Code or to a county rural zoning resolution adopted under section 303.12 of the Revised Code that rezoned or redistricted the parcel or parcels upon which the facility is to be constructed or modified and that became effective within two years prior to the filing of an application for a permit required under division (A)(2)(a) of section 3734.05 of the Revised Code to open a new or modify an existing solid waste facility. (D) Except for the inventories required by divisions (A)(1), (2), and (4) of this section and the projections required by division (A)(6) of this section, neither this section nor the solid waste management plan of a county or joint district applies to the construction, operation, use, repair, or maintenance of either of the following: (1) A solid waste facility owned by a generator of solid wastes when the solid waste facility exclusively disposes of solid wastes generated at one or more premises owned by the generator regardless of whether the facility is located on a premises where the wastes are generated; (2) A facility that exclusively disposes of wastes that are generated from the combustion of coal, or from the combustion of primarily coal in combination with scrap tires, that is not combined in any way with garbage at one or more premises owned by the generator. (E)(1) The initial solid waste management plans prepared by county or joint districts under section 3734.521 of the Revised Code and the amended plans prepared under section 3734.521 or 3734.56 of the Revised Code shall contain a clear statement as to whether the board of county commissioners or directors is authorized to or precluded from establishing facility designations under section 343.014 of the Revised Code. (2) A policy committee that is preparing a draft or revised draft plan under section 3734.55 of the Revised Code on October 29, 1993, may include in the draft or revised draft plan only one of the following pertaining to the solid waste facilities or recycling activities where solid wastes generated within or transported into the district are to be taken for disposal, transfer, resource recovery, or recycling: (a) The designations required under former division (A)(12)(a) of this section as it existed prior to October 29, 1993; (b) The identifications required in division (A)(12)(a) of this section and the statement required under division (E)(1) of this section; (c) Both of the following: (i) The designations required under former division (A)(12)(a) of this section as it existed prior to October 29, 1993, except that those designations only shall pertain to solid waste disposal, transfer, or resource recovery facilities or recycling activities that are owned by a municipal corporation, county, county or joint solid waste management district, township, or township waste disposal district created under section 505.28 of the Revised Code for which debt issued under Chapter 133., 343., or 6123. of the Revised Code is outstanding; (ii) The identifications required under division (A)(12)(a) of this section, and the statement required under division (E)(1) of this section, pertaining to the solid waste facilities and recycling activities described in division (A) of section 343.014 of the Revised Code. (F) Notwithstanding section 3734.01 of the Revised Code, "solid wastes" does not include scrap tires and "facility" does not include any scrap tire collection, storage, monocell, monofill, or recovery facility in either of the following circumstances: (1) For the purposes of an initial plan prepared and ordered to be implemented by the director under section 3734.55 of the Revised Code; (2) For the purposes of an initial or amended plan prepared and ordered to be implemented by the director under division (D) of section 3734.521 of the Revised Code in connection with a change in district composition as defined in that section that involves an existing district that is operating under either an initial plan approved or prepared and ordered to be implemented under section 3734.55 of the Revised Code or an initial or amended plan approved or prepared and ordered to be implemented under section 3734.521 of the Revised Code that does not provide for the management of scrap tires and scrap tire facilities.

February 1, 2001 House Bill 223 - 123rd General Assembly (A) The person or government entity holding a license for a retail food establishment may provide the services of a food service operation within the retail food establishment without obtaining a food service operation license if the person or entity has received from the licensor of retail food establishments an endorsement to provide the services of a food service operation. (B) When the activities of a retail food establishment and a food service operation are carried on within the same facility by the same person or government entity, the determination of whether the person or entity must be licensed as a retail food establishment or food service operation shall be made according to the primary business of the person or entity. If the primary business is that of a retail food establishment, the person or entity shall be licensed as a retail food establishment operation with an endorsement from the licensor issued under this section to provide the services of a food service operation. If the primary business is that of a food service operation, the person or entity shall be licensed as a food service operation and is subject to the endorsement provisions of section 3717.44 of the Revised Code. The licensor of retail food establishments and food service operations for the area in which a facility is located shall make the determination of whether the primary business carried on within a facility is that of a retail food establishment or food service operation.

Procedures for making separate requests shall be the same as the license application procedures established under section 3717.23 of the Revised Code. An endorsement may be suspended or revoked in the same manner as a license may be suspended or revoked under section 3717.29 or 3717.30 of the Revised Code. The suspension or revocation of an endorsement does not affect the retail food establishment license that includes the endorsement. If the retail food establishment license is suspended or revoked, the endorsement included on the license is also suspended or revoked. (D) If a food service operation is operated within a retail food establishment by a person or government entity other than the person or entity holding the license to operate the retail food establishment, the food service operation may not be operated under an endorsement issued under this section. The operation shall be licensed as a separate food service operation.

Status: in_force

September 12, 2008 Senate Bill 237 - 127th General Assembly (A) Upon notice and hearing, the state fire marshal may suspend or revoke any license or impose a fine against an owner, proprietor, or agent of a hotel or SRO facility licensed under this chapter for violation of sections 3731.01 to 3731.21 of the Revised Code, the rules adopted pursuant to those sections, or the state fire code adopted pursuant to section 3737.82 of the Revised Code. The state fire marshal shall impose fines in accordance with the requirements specified in division (E) of this section. The state fire marshal shall not impose a fine, and such suspension or revocation shall not take place, until the state fire marshal first notifies such licensee in writing, calling specific attention to the infractions and until, pursuant to section 3731.05 of the Revised Code, a reasonable time and opportunity is given to reform and correct the matter complained of. Except as provided in division (E) of this section, if such notice proves unavailing for the correction of such matter, the state fire marshal shall then fix a time and place for hearing in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code. Upon the conclusion of such hearing the state fire marshal may suspend or revoke the license in question, impose a fine against an owner, proprietor, or agent of a hotel or SRO facility licensed under this chapter, or dismiss the proceedings against such licensee. (B) If the state fire marshal proposes to deny or otherwise refuse to grant a license to any person or to permit a license already issued to be transferred, as provided in section 3731.03 of the Revised Code, or proposes to revoke a license, the party aggrieved by such decision or refusal shall be heard upon the question as to the right of the party aggrieved to such license or to a transfer of the same, which hearing shall be had in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code. An appeal may be taken from the action of the state fire marshal in failing to issue said license or permit said transfer in accordance with section 119.12 of the Revised Code. (C) If the state fire marshal suspends a hotel or SRO facility license in accordance with this section and Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, the state fire marshal shall suspend that license for a reasonable period of time as may be necessary to allow the owner, proprietor, or agent of the licensed hotel or SRO facility to reform and correct the violation for which the state fire marshal suspended the license, not to exceed one hundred eighty days. The owner, proprietor, or agent of the hotel or SRO facility whose license is suspended shall not operate the facility as a hotel or SRO facility and shall not open that structure for use by the public during the time period that the license is suspended. If, at the expiration of the suspension period the violation has not been reformed or corrected, the license automatically shall be revoked without the taking of any action by the state fire marshal. (D) An operator, proprietor, or agent of a hotel or SRO facility whose license has been revoked by the state fire marshal in accordance with this section and Chapter 119. of the Revised Code may apply for a license in accordance with section 3731.03 of the Revised Code. The state fire marshal shall not issue that operator, proprietor, or agent a new license for a period of one year after the date of revocation, unless the state fire marshal determines that it is appropriate to issue that license at an earlier date. The state fire marshal shall issue that hotel or SRO facility a new license only if the hotel or SRO facility satisfies the applicable requirements for licensure specified in this chapter and in the rules adopted pursuant to it and the operator, proprietor, or agent has corrected the violation for which the state fire marshal revoked the license. (E) If the state fire marshal elects to impose a fine against an owner, proprietor, or agent of a licensed hotel or SRO facility in accordance with this section and Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, the state fire marshal shall not impose that fine until thirty days after the state fire marshal sends the written notice in accordance with division (A) of this section or, if the state fire marshal has given the owner, proprietor, or agent more than thirty days to reform or correct the violation, the expiration of that time period. The state fire marshal may impose a fine against an owner, proprietor, or agent in the following amounts: (1) If, in the opinion of the state fire marshal, the violation is a fire safety issue, two hundred fifty dollars per violation, except that the amount of the fine shall not exceed one thousand dollars per day, regardless of the number of violations. (2) For all other violations of section 3731.08 of the Revised Code, a fine of ten dollars for each violation. The state fire marshal shall deposit all fines the state fire marshal collects under this division into the state fire marshal fund created in section 3737.71 of the Revised Code. (F) If the state fire marshal takes any action against an owner, proprietor, or agent of a licensed hotel or SRO facility pursuant to sections 3737.41 to 3737.51 of the Revised Code, the state fire marshal may take action against the license issued to that hotel or SRO facility that is prompted by or is a result of action taken under sections 3737.41 to 3737.51 of the Revised Code.

(B) No home health agency shall employ an applicant or continue to employ an employee in a position that involves providing direct care to an individual if any of the following apply: (1) A review of the databases listed in division (D) of this section reveals any of the following: (a) That the applicant or employee is included in one or more of the databases listed in divisions (D)(1) to (5) of this section; (b) That there is in the state nurse aide registry established under section 3721.32 of the Revised Code a statement detailing findings by the director of health that the applicant or employee abused, neglected, or exploited a long-term care facility or residential care facility resident or misappropriated property of such a resident; (c) That the applicant or employee is included in one or more of the databases, if any, specified in rules adopted under this section and the rules prohibit the home health agency from employing an applicant or continuing to employ an employee included in such a database in a position that involves providing direct care to an individual. (2) After the applicant or employee is provided, pursuant to division (E)(2)(a) of this section, a copy of the form prescribed pursuant to division (C)(1) of section 109.572 of the Revised Code and the standard impression sheet prescribed pursuant to division (C)(2) of that section, the applicant or employee fails to complete the form or provide the applicant's or employee's fingerprint impressions on the standard impression sheet. (3) Except as provided in rules adopted under this section, the applicant or employee is found by a criminal records check required by this section to have been convicted of, pleaded guilty to, or been found eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction for a disqualifying offense. (C) Except as provided by division (F) of this section, the chief administrator of a home health agency shall inform each applicant of both of the following at the time of the applicant's initial application for employment or referral to the home health agency by an employment service for a position that involves providing direct care to an individual: (1) That a review of the databases listed in division (D) of this section will be conducted to determine whether the home health agency is prohibited by division (B)(1) of this section from employing the applicant in the position; (2) That, unless the database review reveals that the applicant may not be employed in the position, a criminal records check of the applicant will be conducted and the applicant is required to provide a set of the applicant's fingerprint impressions as part of the criminal records check. (D) As a condition of employing any applicant in a position that involves providing direct care to an individual, the chief administrator of a home health agency shall conduct a database review of the applicant in accordance with rules adopted under this section. If rules adopted under this section so require, the chief administrator of a home health agency shall conduct a database review of an employee in accordance with the rules as a condition of continuing to employ the employee in a position that involves providing direct care to an individual. However, the chief administrator is not required to conduct a database review of an applicant or employee if division (F) of this section applies.

(E)(1) As a condition of employing any applicant in a position that involves providing direct care to an individual, the chief administrator of a home health agency shall request the superintendent of the bureau of criminal identification and investigation to conduct a criminal records check of the applicant. If rules adopted under this section so require, the chief administrator of a home health agency shall request the superintendent to conduct a criminal records check of an employee at times specified in the rules as a condition of continuing to employ the employee in a position that involves providing direct care to an individual. However, the chief administrator is not required to request the criminal records check of the applicant or the employee if division (F) of this section applies or the home health agency is prohibited by division (B)(1) of this section from employing the applicant or continuing to employ the employee in a position that involves providing direct care to an individual. If an applicant or employee for whom a criminal records check request is required by this section does not present proof of having been a resident of this state for the five-year period immediately prior to the date upon which the criminal records check is requested or does not provide evidence that within that five-year period the superintendent has requested information about the applicant from the federal bureau of investigation in a criminal records check, the chief administrator shall request that the superintendent obtain information from the federal bureau of investigation as a part of the criminal records check. Even if an applicant or employee for whom a criminal records check request is required by this section presents proof that the applicant or employee has been a resident of this state for that five-year period, the chief administrator may request that the superintendent include information from the federal bureau of investigation in the criminal records check. (2) The chief administrator shall do all of the following: (a) Provide to each applicant and employee for whom a criminal records check request is required by this section a copy of the form prescribed pursuant to division (C)(1) of section 109.572 of the Revised Code and a standard impression sheet prescribed pursuant to division (C)(2) of that section; (b) Obtain the completed form and standard impression sheet from each applicant and employee; (c) Forward the completed form and standard impression sheet to the superintendent at the time the chief administrator requests the criminal records check. (3) A home health agency shall pay to the bureau of criminal identification and investigation the fee prescribed pursuant to division (C)(3) of section 109.572 of the Revised Code for each criminal records check the agency requests under this section. A home health agency may charge an applicant a fee not exceeding the amount the agency pays to the bureau under this section if both of the following apply: (a) The home health agency notifies the applicant at the time of initial application for employment of the amount of the fee and that, unless the fee is paid, the applicant will not be considered for employment. (b) The medicaid program does not reimburse the home health agency for the fee it pays to the bureau under this section. (F) Divisions (C) to (E) of this section do not apply with regard to an applicant or employee if the applicant or employee is referred to a home health agency by an employment service that supplies full-time, part-time, or temporary staff for positions that involve providing direct care to an individual and both of the following apply: (1) The chief administrator of the home health agency receives from the employment service confirmation that a review of the databases listed in division (D) of this section was conducted with regard to the applicant or employee.

(G)(1) A home health agency may employ conditionally an applicant for whom a criminal records check request is required by this section before obtaining the results of the criminal records check if the agency is not prohibited by division (B) of this section from employing the applicant in a position that involves providing direct care to an individual and either of the following applies: (a) The chief administrator of the home health agency requests the criminal records check in accordance with division (E) of this section not later than five business days after the applicant begins conditional employment. (b) The applicant is referred to the home health agency by an employment service, the employment service or the applicant provides the chief administrator of the agency a letter that is on the letterhead of the employment service, the letter is dated and signed by a supervisor or another designated official of the employment service, and the letter states all of the following: (i) That the employment service has requested the superintendent to conduct a criminal records check regarding the applicant; (ii) That the requested criminal records check is to include a determination of whether the applicant has been convicted of, pleaded guilty to, or been found eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction for a disqualifying offense; (iii) That the employment service has not received the results of the criminal records check as of the date set forth on the letter; (iv) That the employment service promptly will send a copy of the results of the criminal records check to the chief administrator of the home health agency when the employment service receives the results. (2) If a home health agency employs an applicant conditionally pursuant to division (G)(1)(b) of this section, the employment service, on its receipt of the results of the criminal records check, promptly shall send a copy of the results to the chief administrator of the agency. (3) A home health agency that employs an applicant conditionally pursuant to division (G)(1)(a) or (b) of this section shall terminate the applicant's employment if the results of the criminal records check, other than the results of any request for information from the federal bureau of investigation, are not obtained within the period ending sixty days after the date the request for the criminal records check is made. Regardless of when the results of the criminal records check are obtained, if the results indicate that the applicant has been convicted of, pleaded guilty to, or been found eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction for a disqualifying offense, the home health agency shall terminate the applicant's employment unless circumstances specified in rules adopted under this section that permit the agency to employ the applicant exist and the agency chooses to employ the applicant. Termination of employment under this division shall be considered just cause for discharge for purposes of division (D)(2) of section 4141.29 of the Revised Code if the applicant makes any attempt to deceive the home health agency about the applicant's criminal record. (H) The report of any criminal records check conducted by the bureau of criminal identification and investigation in accordance with section 109.572 of the Revised Code and pursuant to a request made under this section is not a public record for the purposes of section 149.43 of the Revised Code and shall not be made available to any person other than the following: (1) The applicant or employee who is the subject of the criminal records check or the applicant's or employee's representative; (2) The home health agency requesting the criminal records check or its representative; (3) The administrator of any other facility, agency, or program that provides direct care to individuals that is owned or operated by the same entity that owns or operates the home health agency that requested the criminal records check; (4) The employment service that requested the criminal records check; (5) The director of health and the staff of the department of health who monitor a home health agency's compliance with this section; (6) The director of aging or the director's designee if either of the following apply: (a) In the case of a criminal records check requested by a home health agency, the home health agency also is a community-based long-term care provider or community-based long-term care subcontractor; (b) In the case of a criminal records check requested by an employment service, the employment service makes the request for an applicant or employee the employment service refers to a home health agency that also is a community-based long-term care provider or community-based long-term care subcontractor.
