The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) posts proposed rules for public comment below as draft rules. Draft rules posted for public comment may be edited based on comments received but have not yet been formally proposed for adoption.
The draft rules are written, with input by some affected organizations and individuals, by the Ohio Department of Health's programs responsible for carrying out the rules. The draft rules are then posted for public comment for anyone to provide comments on the draft. Upon posting the draft rules, ODH sends out an e-notification alert to interested parties who have signed up on the Ohio Business Gateway Regulatory Reform site (http://business.ohio.gov/reform/).
Posting of the draft rules also begins the 60-day review period by the Ohio Public Health Advisory Board (OPHAB). OPHAB is tasked with reviewing all ODH rules and making a recommendation to the Director of Health. ODH also provides a copy of the draft rules to the Common Sense Initiative (CSI) in the Office of Lieutenant Governor.
Once rules are reviewed by CSI and OPHAB, the rules may be formally proposed.

After the public comment period and review by the Common Sense Initiative (CSI) and the Ohio Public Health Advisory Board (OPHAB), draft rules become proposed rules when original filed with the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR), the Legislative Service Commission (LSC), and the Secretary of State. In some cases, rules are also filed with the Ohio Department of Aging (ODA) as necessary (See R.C. 173.01).
A public hearing will be scheduled 30-45 days after the proposed rules are original filed at JCARR. Notification of the public hearing will be available on The Ohio Department of Health's website (HERE) and through e-notifications.
