Bill would move funds for Ohio’s children’s health program

The bill would repeal section 3701.024 of Ohio law. The bill identifies section 3701.024 as the section it would repeal, but does not include that section’s rules.

The state would transfer Fund 6660’s cash balance to the General Revenue Fund and abolish Fund 6660. It would also move specified program obligations and appropriations to another account. These directions cover the Medically Handicapped Children County Assessment Fund and state accounts for children and youth with special health care needs. The remaining fiscal year 2026 and 2027 amounts would move after the health director certifies them. The transfer and account changes would occur on the section’s effective date or as soon as possible afterward. Remaining fiscal year 2026 and 2027 amounts would move after certification.
