general revenue fund to the State Board of Education licensure fund.
DETAILED ANALYSIS
State Board of Education licensure fund
The bill requires the Director of Budget and Management to transfer $4.5 million from
the general revenue fund to the State Board of Education licensure fund each fiscal year.1
Continuing law establishes the State Board of Education licensure fund for the purpose
of paying the State Board’s operating expenses, including any cost incurred by performing a
duty prescribed by law and any cost related to the issuance and renewal of licenses,
certificates, and permits.2
While the bill requires an annual transfer into the State Board Education licensure fund,
it does not include an appropriation. Under Ohio’s Constitution, state funds cannot be spent
without an appropriation made by law. In addition, an appropriation cannot be made for a
period longer than two years.3
