Pursuant to section 3125.25 and Chapter 119. of the Ohio Revised Code, the director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services gives notice of the department's intent to consider the rescission and adoption of the rules as identified below and of a public hearing thereon.

 

The following Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rules are being proposed for rescission.

·         Rule 5101:12-55-25, " License Suspension," describes when a child support enforcement agency (CSEA) may, as an enforcement technique, submit an obligor to a licensing entity to suspend, refuse, or deny to renew a license. It is being replaced by new rule 5101:12-55-25 and 5101:12-55-25.1.

 

·         Rule 5101:12-55-26, " Suspension of License to Practice Law, " when a child support enforcement agency (CSEA) may, as an enforcement technique, refer an obligor who is licensed to practice law in the state of Ohio to the Ohio supreme court for suspension of a license to practice law.

 

The following new rules are being proposed to replace rescinded rules:

·         Rule 5101:12-55-25, " License Suspension," describes when a child support enforcement agency (CSEA) may, as an enforcement technique, submit an obligor to a licensing entity to suspend, refuse, or deny to renew a professional, driver's, or recreational license. Changes from the rescinded rule include: an expanded list of case requirements which must be met before an obligor may be considered for license suspension, the requirement for a CSEA to utilize a specific pre- suspension notification form, and removal of reinstatement criteria which has been moved into new rule 5101:12-55-25.1.  This rule replaces part of rescinded rule 5101:12-55-25.

 

·         Rule 5101:12-55-25.1, "License Reinstatement." This new rule describes the process and required criteria a child support enforcement agency (CSEA) shall use to reinstate a professional, recreational, or driver's license that has been suspended. This rule replaces part of rescinded rule 5101:12-55-25.

 

·         Rule 5101:12-55-25.2, "Driver's License Abstract," describes the process and criterion a child support enforcement agency (CSEA) shall use to direct the registrar of motor vehicles to eliminate from the abstract maintained by the bureau of motor vehicles (BMV) any reference of a previous license suspension.
