HB 516 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Require annual transfer of funds to education licensure fund

This bill requires the Director of Budget and Management to transfer $4.5 million annually from the state's general revenue fund to a specific account for the State Board of Education. The transferred money is designated to cover the board's operating expenses and the costs associated with issuing and renewing education-related licenses, certificates, and permits. Additionally, the legislation mandates that licensing fees be set each year to ensure they, combined with any state appropriations, are sufficient to fund these administrative activities. The bill explicitly exempts fees for licenses related to Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) programs from these new requirements.
