Ohio law requires the Board to review each rule every five years to determine if the rule should remain unchanged, amended, or eliminated.
The Board is formally notifying you of the following rules scheduled for review to collaborate and seek input, as well as assess and justify any adverse impact on the business community. As a stakeholder your feedback is encouraged.
If you wish to provide comment on any of the rules listed below, please respond to me on or before April 16, 2021. All feedback will be considered by the Board at its April 22, 2021 meeting.
What happens after the April 22 Board Meeting?
The Board will consider the feedback received and decide on how to proceed with each rule. Once the Board has made a final determination, you will receive an email notification advising whether the rules will remain unchanged, amended, or eliminated. A document called a Business Impact Analysis Form will be included with the notification to explain the impact the rules, and any proposed changes, have on business. With this second notification you will have the opportunity to comment on the rules to the Common Sense Initiative Office.
The CSI Office will review the rules and comments received and will provide a recommendation to the Board to either proceed or make modifications to the rules. The Board will then proceed with formally filing the rules with the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR) for adoption. A formal rules hearing will be held, and you will receive an email notification advising of the date and time of the hearing at which time you may provide testimony.
