4141.14 Rules of director subject to approval of unemployment compensation review commission.
(A) All rules of the director of the department of job and family services adopted pursuant to this chapter shall be approved by the unemployment compensation review commission before the rules become effective. All such rules shall specify on their face their effective date and the date on which they will expire, if known. Approval by the unemployment compensation review commission shall also be required before amendments to, or rescission of, any rules of the director adopted pursuant to this chapter become effective. If the commission disapproves a rule of the director, it shall determine and promulgate a rule that it considers appropriate after affording a hearing to the director.
(B)(1) Any rule promulgated pursuant to this section shall be effective on the tenth day after the day on which the rule in final form and in compliance with division (B)(2) of this section is filed as follows:
(a) The rule shall be filed in electronic form with both the secretary of state and the director of the legislative service commission;
(b) The rule shall be filed in electronic form with the joint committee on agency rule review. Division (B)(1)(b) of this section does not apply to any rule to which division (H) of section 119.03 of the Revised Code does not apply.
If all filings are not completed on the same day, the rule shall be effective on the tenth day after the day on which the latest filing is completed. If the department of job and family services or the unemployment compensation review commission in adopting a rule pursuant to this chapter designates an effective date that is later than the effective date provided for by this division, the rule if filed as required by this division shall become effective on the later date designated by the department or commission.
If the commission or department adopts or amends a rule that is subject to division (H) of section 119.03 of the Revised Code, the commission or department shall assign a review date to the rule that is not later than five years after its effective date. If no review date is assigned to a rule, or if a review date assigned to a rule exceeds the five-year maximum, the review date for the rule is five years after its effective date. A rule with a review date is subject to review under section 119.032 of the Revised Code.
(2) The department and commission shall file the rule in compliance with the following standards and procedures:
(a) The rule shall be numbered in accordance with the numbering system devised by the director for the Ohio administrative code.
(b) The rule shall be prepared and submitted in compliance with the rules of the legislative service commission.
(c) The rule shall clearly state the date on which it is to be effective and the date on which it will expire, if known.
(d) Each rule that amends or rescinds another rule shall clearly refer to the rule that is amended or rescinded. Each amendment shall fully restate the rule as amended.
If the director of the legislative service commission or the director’s designee gives the department of job and family services or the unemployment compensation review commission notice pursuant to section 103.05 of the Revised Code that a rule filed by the department or review commission is not in compliance with the rules of the legislative service commission, the department or review commission shall within thirty days after receipt of the notice conform the rule to the rules of the commission as directed in the notice.
The secretary of state and the director of the legislative service commission shall preserve the rules filed under division (B)(1)(a) of this section in an accessible manner. Each such rule shall be a public record open to public inspection and may be transmitted to any law publishing company that wishes to reproduce it.
(C) As used in this section:
(1) “Rule” includes an amendment or rescission of a rule.
(2) “Substantive revision” has the same meaning as in division (J) of section 119.01 of the Revised Code.
