The State Medical Board of Ohio (SMBO) seeks public input on proposed rules several times during the rule-making process. Public input is sought after the SMBO has conducted its initial review of rules, after rules are filed with the Common Sense Initiative (CSI) Office, and at the public hearing that occurs after the rules are formally filed with the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review.
The SMBO’s initial review of rules may result in a proposal to amend current rules, rescind current rules, make no changes to current rules, and/or adopt new rules. Comments received will be reviewed and possibly result in changes to the initially proposed language before the rules are then filed with the CSI Office.
