3.  Statute prescribing the procedure in accordance with the agency is required to adopt the rule: 119.03

4.  Statute(s) authorizing agency to adopt the rule: 124.09, 124.391

5.  Statute(s) the rule, as filed, amplifies or implements: 124.391

6.  State the reason(s) for proposing (i.e., why are you filing,) this rule:

To clarify some of the language in the current version of the rule to make it easier for employees and appointing authorities to unerstand and apply the donated paid leave program.

7.  If the rule is an AMENDMENT, then summarize the changes and the content of the proposed rule; If the rule type is RESCISSION, NEW or NO CHANGE, then summarize the content of the rule:

The rule contains the eligibility requirements to both donate leave and to receive

donated leave. The rule also contains the mechanics and the restrictions for the donated leave program.

8.  If the rule incorporates a text or other material by reference and the agency claims the incorporation by reference is exempt from compliance with sections

121.71 to 121.74 of the Revised Code because the text or other material is generally available to persons who reasonably can be expected to be affected by the rule, provide an explanation of how the text or other material is generally available to those persons:

This response left blank because filer specified online that the rule does not incorporate a text or other material by reference.

9.  If the rule incorporates a text or other material by reference, and it was infeasible for the agency to file the text or other material electronically, provide an explanation of why filing the text or other material electronically was infeasible:

This response left blank because filer specified online that the rule does not incorporate a text or other material by reference.

10.  If the rule is being rescinded and incorporates a text or other material by reference, and it was infeasible for the agency to file the text or other material, provide an explanation of why filing the text or other material was infeasible:

Not Applicable.

11.  If revising or refiling this rule, identify changes made from the previously filed version of this rule; if none, please state so:

Revised the language in paragraph (B)(4) to bring the scope of the type of situation back to just including the serious illness or injury of an employee or a member of the employee's immediate family as a qualifying factor. This change keeps this scope consistent with the current version of the rule, which was not intended to be changed by adopting this new version of the rule. Added a definition for the term "new sick leave" in paragraph (A)(2) and then use that term in paragraph (C)(4) to describe that "new sick leave" must be donated first by an eligible employee and only if they exhaust their "new sick leave" can they donate other sick leave the donating employee might have subject to the requirements that cover a donating employee.

12.  119.032 Rule Review Date:

(If the rule is not exempt and you answered NO to question No. 1, provide the scheduled review date. If you answered YES to No. 1, the review date for this rule is the filing date.)

NOTE: If the rule is not exempt at the time of final filing, two dates are required: the current review date plus a date not to exceed 5 years from the effective date for Amended rules or a date not to exceed 5 years from the review date for No Change rules.
