Amended Substitute Senate Bill 331 Summary

• Amends Ohio's sunset review law (sections 101.82-101.87 of the Revised Code) to require a Sunset Review Committee to be convened during each General Assembly rather than only odd-numbered assemblies, providing two bienniums to complete agency reviews.

• Renews approximately 130 state agencies and boards with expiration dates of December 31, 2024, including the Ohio Judicial Conference and State Criminal Sentencing Commission.

• Terminates 20 agencies and commissions effective upon bill enactment, including the English Language Arts Academic Standards Review Committee, Mathematics Academic Standards Review Committee, Ohio Healthier Buckeye Advisory Council, and Maternity and Newborn Advisory Council.

• Amends multiple sections of the Revised Code related to judicial impact statements, school district land management, education standards, health licensing, and nursing regulation to conform with sunset review recommendations.

• Directs the Sunset Review Committee convened during the 134th General Assembly to reconsider agencies renewed by this act and determine whether to extend expiration dates to December 31, 2026, with or without further review.
