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 current law stipulates that these directors must be appointed by the mayor and must become residents of the city within six months of their appointment unless the residency requirement is waived by ordinance. The proposed changes remove this residency requirement entirely, allowing for greater flexibility in the appointment of these directors.

In addition to removing the residency stipulation, the bill also updates the language to ensure consistency in referring to the directors. The term "director" is used in place of "he" or "his," making the language more inclusive. The existing sections 735.01 and 737.01 are set to be repealed, effectively replacing the previous legal framework with the new provisions outlined in the bill.
