Ohio Revised Code
Chapter 5126 | County Boards of Developmental Disabilities
Section 5126.0214 | Waiver of Removal Requirement for Nonattendance.

Effective: October 6, 2009
Latest Legislation: Senate Bill 79 - 128th General Assembly
An appointing authority shall not remove a member of a county board of developmental disabilities from the county board by reason of division (A)(5), (6), or (7) of section 5126.0213 of the Revised Code if the director of developmental disabilities waives the requirement that the member be removed. The director may issue the waiver only if the appointing authority requests that the director issue the waiver and provides the director evidence that is satisfactory to the director that the member's absences from the in-service training sessions or regularly scheduled board meetings are due to a serious health problem of the member or a member of the member's immediate family. The director's decision on whether to issue the waiver is final and not subject to appeal.
The county board on which the member serves may pass a resolution urging the appointing authority to request that the director issue the waiver. The member whose absences from the sessions or meetings are at issue may not vote on the resolution. The appointing authority may request the waiver regardless of whether the county board adopts the resolution.
