The bill proposes the establishment of the Ohio International Trade Commission, as outlined in the newly enacted section 122.97 of the Revised Code. The commission will focus on enhancing trade and investment relations between Ohio and Japan, Ireland, Israel, and two additional nations designated by the director of development. Its responsibilities will include promoting multilateral trade, facilitating joint research agreements, fostering business and academic exchanges, creating technology centers, and supporting mutual economic initiatives. The commission will consist of members from both the Senate and House of Representatives, as well as representatives from various communities and organizations related to the specified nations.

Additionally, the commission will be required to meet regularly, issue annual reports on its activities, and may raise funds through various means to support its operations. Members will serve without compensation, with specific term lengths depending on their appointment category. The commission will also have the authority to create a fund to manage its financial resources, which will be used to cover administrative expenses and further its objectives.
