The bill amends sections 735.01 and 737.01 of the Revised Code to eliminate residency requirements for the positions of city director of public service and city director of public safety. Specifically, the bill removes the stipulation that these directors must be residents of the city at the time of their appointment or become residents within six months unless a waiver is granted by ordinance.

In the revised language, the term "director" is used consistently, replacing the previous gender-specific pronouns. The bill aims to provide greater flexibility in the appointment of these directors, allowing mayors to select candidates without the constraint of residency, which could potentially broaden the pool of qualified applicants for these important city positions.
