OH SB76

Amends Ohio Revised Code sections 125.25, 153.02, and 5513.06 to create mandatory debarment requirements for state vendors and contractors convicted of or pleading guilty to antitrust violations, corruption, bribery, or admitting to racketeering (section 2923.32) in civil proceedings or settlement agreements

Establishes a two-tier debarment system: discretionary debarment ("may debar") for performance-related issues like contract defaults, failure to maintain insurance, or unsatisfactory work; mandatory debarment ("shall debar") for criminal convictions involving fraud, bribery, collusion, or antitrust violations

Sets debarment periods at a minimum of 1 year and maximum of 3 years, replacing previous law that allowed directors unlimited discretion in setting debarment length

Applies to three state agencies: Department of Administrative Services (general state vendors), Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (public improvement contracts), and Department of Transportation (transportation contracts)

Allows rescission of discretionary debarments at any time but removes that flexibility for mandatory debarments, and requires debarred vendors to remain ineligible for all state contracts during the debarment period
