The bill H. B. No. 2025-2026 proposes the enactment of section 124.143 of the Revised Code, which mandates that appointing authorities review vacant state civil service positions every thirty days. The initial review must be completed within thirty days of the bill's effective date. If any permanent full-time position has been vacant for ninety days or more, the appointing authority is required to eliminate that position.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a position is eliminated and is part of the job classification plan established by the director of administrative services, the appointing authority must notify the director of the elimination. Upon receiving this notification, the director is responsible for updating the job classification plan as necessary. This legislation aims to streamline state employment by addressing prolonged vacancies in civil service positions.
