To amend sections 117.46, 121.01, 121.22, 149.011, 149.43, 187.01, 187.03, and 187.04 of the Revised Code to establish that records created by JobsOhio are public records under Ohio Public Records Law, to require JobsOhio to comply with the Open Meetings Law, and to require the Auditor of State to conduct a performance audit of JobsOhio.

AI Summary

This bill amends Ohio law to make records created by JobsOhio, a nonprofit corporation formed to promote economic development, subject to the state's Public Records Law, meaning they will generally be accessible to the public. It also requires JobsOhio to comply with the Open Meetings Law, ensuring that its decision-making processes are transparent and open to public observation. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Auditor of State conduct a performance audit of JobsOhio, which is an examination of the organization's efficiency and effectiveness, to ensure accountability. These changes aim to increase transparency and oversight of JobsOhio's operations, which were previously less subject to public scrutiny.
