For the purposes of this section, "actual and direct control" does not include any action taken to inspect the facility for the occurrence of a release or threatened release of a regulated substance; any response action taken under section 107(d)(1) of the "Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980," 94 Stat. 2781, 42 U.S.C.A. 9607, as amended, and applicable regulations adopted under that act; compliance with the requirements established in this section; or any remedial action taken under the trust indenture or other similar document or trust agreement. (B) In order to be and remain exempt from this chapter and rules adopted under it, if the operator of a reporting facility fails to comply with section 3752.07 of the Revised Code, and if the indenture trustee has foreclosed on its interest either by formal means such as the use of judicial process or informal means such as through the terms of the indenture agreement or similar financing document between the indenture trustee and the issuing entity, the indenture trustee shall do one of the following to the extent there are sufficient assets in the trust: (1) Petition the court for the appointment of a receiver under Chapter 2735. of the Revised Code to perform or cause the performance of the actions required under section 3752.04 , divisions (A)(4) to (6) of section 3752.06 , and section 3752.07 of the Revised Code. The court may appoint the indenture trustee as the receiver. The receiver has the powers necessary to spend money and to perform or cause the performance of those measures as so required with such additional terms and conditions as may be imposed by the court. The receiver shall perform the required actions or cause them to be performed within such times as the court may prescribe. The indenture trustee is not liable for any of the costs of the receivership. (2) Do both of the following: (a) Secure against unauthorized entry each building or structure at the facility where regulated operations were conducted and that contains or is contaminated with regulated substances and each outdoor location of operation. The indenture trustee shall secure each such building, structure, or outdoor location of operation by boarding windows, doors, and other potential means of entry, by providing security personnel, or by other methods prescribed in rules adopted under section 3752.03 of the Revised Code. The indenture trustee also shall post about each such building, structure, or outdoor location of operation in publicly visible locations warning signs that prohibit trespassing and state that the building, structure, or outdoor location of operation contains or is contaminated with regulated substances that may endanger public health or safety if released into the environment. The indenture trustee shall continue the security measures, and maintain the warning signs, as required at each such building, structure, or outdoor location of operation until the indenture trustee no longer holds legal title to the facility or until the indenture trustee or another person has performed the measures required under divisions (A)(4) and (5) of section 3752.06 of the Revised Code in connection with the regulated substances present at the facility. Promptly after discovering that any of the entry barriers or warning signs installed pursuant to division (B)(2)(a) of this section have been damaged, lost, or removed, the indenture trustee shall repair or replace them in order to maintain the security of the building, structure, or outdoor location of operation. (b) Submit to the director, the local emergency planning committee of the emergency planning district in which the facility is located, and the fire department having jurisdiction where the facility is located a notice of the cessation of regulated operations at the facility and of the indenture trustee's compliance with division (B)(2)(a) of this section. The indenture trustee shall submit the notice on a form prescribed by the director. (C) No person shall fail to comply with this section.

Upon the written request of the local emergency planning committee of the emergency planning district in which a facility is located, the emergency response commission may, by issuance of an order in accordance with section 3750.18 of the Revised Code, designate an additional facility as being subject to the requirements of this section and section 3750.04 of the Revised Code if the commission determines from the request that, due to the size of the facility, the nature of its operations, or its proximity to a residential area or an area where significant numbers of people work or congregate, participation in the emergency planning process under this section and section 3750.04 of the Revised Code is necessary or appropriate to protect the public health or safety or the environment. At least forty-five days before issuance of such an order the commission shall mail written notice to the owner or operator of the facility by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall notify the public, by the publication of notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the facility is located, of the commission's intention to approve the request and to issue the order and that the public may submit written comments to the commission regarding approval of the request during that time. The commission shall not issue any such order unless at least sixty per cent of the voting members of the commission vote to approve the request and issuance of the order. Designations under this division shall be made on the basis of individual facilities rather than on a categorical basis. (B) Within thirty days after the committee of a district is appointed under section 3750.03 of the Revised Code, the owner or operator of any facility located in the district and identified under division (A) of this section shall select a facility representative and provide the name of the representative to the committee. The facility representative is the person who will participate in the district's emergency planning process as the facility emergency coordinator. If the owner or operator changes its facility emergency coordinator, the owner or operator shall promptly provide the name of the new facility emergency coordinator to the committee. If an extremely hazardous substance first becomes present at a facility on or after the effective date of this section in an amount that exceeds the threshold planning quantity established for the substance in rules adopted under division (B)(1)(a) of section 3750.02 of the Revised Code, or if, after rules have been adopted under division (C)(5) of section 3750.02 of the Revised Code, an extremely hazardous substance becomes present at a facility in an amount that exceeds the threshold planning quantity for the extremely hazardous substance, the owner or operator of the facility shall notify the emergency response commission and the local emergency planning committee of the emergency planning district in which the facility is located that the facility is subject to this section and section 3750.04 of the Revised Code within sixty days after first acquiring the substance. If rules are adopted under division (C)(5) of section 3750.02 of the Revised Code, or if rules adopted under division (B)(1)(a) or (C)(5) of that section are amended, and a facility has present an extremely hazardous substance in an amount exceeding the threshold planning quantity for the extremely hazardous substance established in those rules or amended rules, the owner or operator of the facility shall notify the commission and the local emergency planning committee of the emergency planning district in which the facility is located that the facility is subject to this section and section 3750.04 of the Revised Code within sixty days after adoption or amendment of the rules. If the owner or operator had not previously been required to select a facility emergency coordinator under this division, he shall select one and provide his name to the committee within sixty days after first acquiring the extremely hazardous substance or within sixty days after adoption or amendment of the rule, as appropriate. (C) Upon the request of the committee having jurisdiction, the owner or operator of a facility identified in division (A) of this section shall promptly provide to the committee the information necessary for developing and implementing the chemical emergency response and preparedness plan for the district. (D) An agricultural producer who has complied with section 302 of the "Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986," 100 Stat. 1730, 42 U.S.C.A. 11002, and divisions (B) and (C) of this section is not subject to the requirements of sections 3750.07 and 3750.08 of the Revised Code nor to the payment of filing fees under division (A) of section 3750.13 of the Revised Code with respect to his agricultural production activities.

The length of quarantine and quarantine requirements must not be more restrictive for advocates than for hospital or facility staff.

(2) Division (F)(1) of this section does not grant a congregate care setting that is a hospital or health care facility immunity from a claim of negligence or medical malpractice for any care provided to the advocate should the advocate seek treatment at the hospital or facility for the infectious disease described in division (F)(1) of this section.

(H) Either of the following individuals may petition a court of common pleas for injunctive relief restraining a violation or threatened violation of this section: (1) A patient or resident; (2) A patient's or resident's advocate, but only if the advocate is one of the following: the patient's or resident's immediate family member, spouse, or guardian; in the case of a minor patient or resident, the minor's residential parent and legal custodian or the minor's guardian; or the patient's or resident's attorney in fact under a durable power of attorney for health care. If the individual prevails, the court shall award the individual court costs associated with petitioning the court for injunctive relief. (I) Nothing in this section shall be construed to change, interfere with, or restrict any of the rights and duties described in sections 1337.11 to 1337.17 of the Revised Code.

Status: in_force

September 30, 2025 House Bill 96 - 136th General Assembly (A) Any person required to pay the fee imposed by section 3734.901 of the Revised Code is personally liable for the fee.

The commissioner shall give the person assessed written notice of the assessment in the manner provided in section 5703.37 of the Revised Code. With the notice, the commissioner shall provide instructions on how to petition for reassessment and request a hearing on the petition. (B) When the information in the possession of the tax commissioner indicates that a person liable for the fee imposed by section 3734.901 of the Revised Code has not paid the full amount of fee due, the commissioner may audit a representative sample of the person's business and may issue an assessment based on the audit. (C) A penalty of up to fifteen per cent may be added to all amounts assessed under this section. The commissioner may adopt rules providing for the imposition and remission of the penalties. (D) Unless the person assessed files with the tax commissioner within sixty days after service of the notice of assessment a written petition for reassessment signed by the person assessed or that person's authorized agent having knowledge of the facts, the assessment becomes final and the amount of the assessment is due and payable from the person assessed to the treasurer of state. The petition shall indicate the objections of the person assessed, but additional objections may be raised in writing if received by the commissioner prior to the date shown on the final determination. If the petition has been properly filed, the commissioner shall proceed under section 5703.60 of the Revised Code. (E) After an assessment becomes final, if any portion of the assessment, including accrued interest, remains unpaid, a certified copy of the tax commissioner's entry making the assessment final may be filed in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas in the county in which the person assessed resides or in which the person's business is conducted. If the person assessed maintains no place of business in this state and is not a resident of this state, the certified copy of the entry may be filed in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas of Franklin county. Immediately upon the filing of the entry, the clerk shall enter a judgment for the state against the person assessed in the amount shown on the entry. The judgment may be filed by the clerk in a loose-leaf book entitled "special judgments for state tire fee," and shall have the same effect as other judgments. Execution shall issue upon the judgment upon the request of the tax commissioner, and all laws applicable to sales on execution shall apply to sales made under the judgment. If the assessment is not paid in its entirety within sixty days after the day the assessment was issued, the portion of the assessment consisting of the fee due shall bear interest at the rate per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code from the day the commissioner issues the assessment until the day the assessment is paid or until it is certified to the attorney general for collection under section 131.02 of the Revised Code, whichever comes first. If the unpaid portion of the assessment is certified to the attorney general for collection, the entire unpaid portion of the assessment shall bear interest at the rate per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code from the date of certification until the date it is paid in its entirety. Interest shall be paid in the same manner as the fee and may be collected by the issuance of an assessment under this section. (F) If the tax commissioner believes that collection of the fee will be jeopardized unless proceedings to collect or secure collection of the fee are instituted without delay, the commissioner may issue a jeopardy assessment against the person liable for the fee. Immediately upon the issuance of the jeopardy assessment, the commissioner shall file an entry with the clerk of the court of common pleas in the manner prescribed by division (E) of this section. Notice of the jeopardy assessment shall be served on the person assessed or the person's legal representative, as provided in section 5703.37 of the Revised Code, within five days of the filing of the entry with the clerk. The total amount assessed is immediately due and payable, unless the person assessed files a petition for reassessment in accordance with division (D) of this section and provides security in a form satisfactory to the commissioner and in an amount sufficient to satisfy the unpaid balance of the assessment. Full or partial payment of the assessment does not prejudice the commissioner's consideration of the petition for reassessment. (G) All money collected by the tax commissioner under this section shall be paid to the treasurer of state as revenue arising from the fee imposed by section 3734.901 of the Revised Code.
