BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

340.08, 340.09, 340.15, 2945.402, 3701.74, 4511.191, 4758.01,	18

4758.26, 4758.28, 4758.29, 4758.30, 4758.31, 4758.35, 4758.36,	20
4758.50, 4758.51, 4758.60, 4758.71, 5119.21, 5119.22, 5119.23, and	21
5119.25 be amended and sections 340.092, 340.093, 340.20, 4758.48,	22
4758.62, 4758.63, 4758.64, 5119.362, 5119.363, 5119.364, 5119.365,	23
and 5122.36 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:	24

Sec. 340.01.  (A) As used in this chapter, "addiction,":

25

(1) "Addiction," "addiction services," "alcohol and drug	26
addiction services," "community addiction services provider,"	27
"community mental health services provider," "drug addiction,"	28
"gambling addiction services," "mental health services," and	29
"mental illness" have the same meanings as in section 5119.01 of	30
the Revised Code.	31

(2) "Medication-assisted treatment" means alcohol and drug	32
addiction services that are accompanied by medication approved by	33
the United States food and drug administration for the treatment	34
of drug addiction, prevention of relapse of drug addiction, or	35
both.	36

(3) "Recovery housing" means housing for individuals	37
recovering from drug addiction that provides an alcohol and	38
drug-free living environment, peer support, assistance with	39
obtaining drug addiction services, and other drug addiction	40
recovery assistance.	41

(B) An alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health service	42
district shall be established in any county or combination of	43
counties having a population of at least fifty thousand to provide	44
addiction services and mental health services. With the approval	45
of the director of mental health and addiction services, any	46
county or combination of counties having a population of less than	47
fifty thousand may establish such a district. Districts	48
comprising more than one county shall be known as joint-county	49
districts.	50

The board of county commissioners of any county participating	51
in a joint-county district may submit a resolution requesting	52
withdrawal from the district together with a comprehensive plan or	53
plans that are in compliance with rules adopted by the director of	54
mental health and addiction services under section 5119.22 of the	55
Revised Code, and that provide for the equitable adjustment and	56
division of all services, assets, property, debts, and	57
obligations, if any, of the joint-county district to the board of	58
alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services, to the boards	59
of county commissioners of each county in the district, and to the	60
directorsdirector. No county participating in a joint-county	61
service district may withdraw from the district without the	62
consent of the director of mental health and addiction services	63
nor earlier than one year after the submission of such resolution	64
unless all of the participating counties agree to an earlier	65
withdrawal. Any county withdrawing from a joint-county district	66
shall continue to have levied against its tax list and duplicate	67
any tax levied by the district during the period in which the	68
county was a member of the district until such time as the levy	69
expires or is renewed or replaced.	70

Sec. 340.02.  (A) For each alcohol, drug addiction, and	71
mental health service district, there shall be appointed a board	72
of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services consisting	73
of eighteen members or fourteen members. Should the board of	74
alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services elect to	75
remain at eighteen members, as provided under section 340.02 of	76
the Revised Code as it existed immediately prior to the date of	77
this amendment, the board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental	78
health services and the board of county commissioners shall not be	79
required to take any action. Should the board of alcohol, drug	80
addiction, and mental health services elect a recommendation to	81
become a fourteen-member board, that recommendation must be	82
approved by the board of county commissioners of the county in	83
which the alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health district is	84
located in order for the transition to a fourteen-member board to	85
occur. Not later than September 30, 2013, each board of alcohol,	86
drug addiction, and mental health services wishing to become a	87
fourteen-member board shall notify the board of county	88
commissioners of that recommendation. Failure of the board of	89
county commissioners to take action within thirty days after	90
receipt of the recommendation shall be deemed agreement by the	91
board of county commissioners to transition to a fourteen-member	92
board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services.	93
Should the board of county commissioners reject the	94
recommendation, the board of county commissioners shall adopt a	95
resolution stating that rejection within thirty days after receipt	96
of the recommendation. Upon adoption of the resolution, the board	97
of county commissioners shall meet with the board of alcohol, drug	98
addiction, and mental health services to discuss the matter. After	99
the meeting, the board of county commissioners shall notify the	100
department of mental health and addiction services of its election	101
not later than January 1, 2014. In a joint-county district, a	102
majority of the boards of county commissioners must not reject the	103
recommendation of a joint-county board to become a fourteen-member	104
board in order for the transition to a fourteen-member board to	105
occur. Should the joint-county district have an even number of	106
counties, and the boards of county commissioners of these counties	107
tie in terms of whether or not to accept the recommendation of the	108
alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services board, the	109
recommendation of the alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health	110
service board to become a fourteen-member board shall prevail. The	111
election shall be final. Failure to provide notice of its election	112
to the department on or before January 1, 2014, shall constitute	113
an election to continue to operate as an eighteen-member board,	114
which election shall also be final. If an existing board provides	115
timely notice of its election to transition to operate as a	116
fourteen-member board, the number of board members may decline	117
from eighteen to fourteen by attrition as current members' terms	118
expire. However, the composition of the board must reflect the	119
requirements set forth in this section for fourteen-member boards.	120
For all boards, half of the members shall be interested in mental	121
health services and half of the members shall be interested in	122
alcohol, drug, or gambling addiction services. All members shall	123
be residents of the service district. The membership shall, as	124
nearly as possible, reflect the composition of the population of	125
the service district as to race and sex.	126

(B) For boards operating as eighteen-member boards, the	127
director of mental health and addiction services shall appoint	128
eight members of the board and the board of county commissioners	129
shall appoint ten members. For boards operating as fourteen-member	130
boards, the director of mental health and addiction services shall	131
appoint six members of the board and the board of county	132
commissioners shall appoint eight members. In a joint-county	133
district, the county commissioners of each participating county	134
shall appoint members in as nearly as possible the same proportion	135
as that county's population bears to the total population of the	136
district, except that at least one member shall be appointed from	137
each participating county.	138

(C) The director of mental health and addiction services	139
shall ensure that at least one member of the board is a clinician	140
with experience in the delivery of mental health services, at	141
least one member of the board is a person who has received or is	142
receiving mental health services paid for by public funds, at	143
least one member of the board is a parent or other relative of	144
such a person, at least one member of the board is a clinician	145
with experience in the delivery of addiction services, at least	146
one member of the board is a person who has received or is	147
receiving addiction services paid for by public funds, and at	148
least one member of the board is a parent or other relative of	149
such a person. A single member who meets both qualifications may	150
fulfill the requirement for a clinician with experience in the	151
delivery of mental health services and a clinician with experience	152
in the delivery of addiction services.	153

(D) No member or employee of a board of alcohol, drug	154
addiction, and mental health services shall serve as a member of	155
the board of any provider with which the board of alcohol, drug	156
addiction, and mental health services has entered into a contract	157
for the provision of services or facilities. No member of a board	158
of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services shall be an	159
employee of any provider with which the board has entered into a	160
contract for the provision of services or facilities. No person	161
shall be an employee of a board and such a provider unless the	162
board and provider both agree in writing.	163

(E) No person shall serve as a member of the board of	164
alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services whose spouse,	165
child, parent, brother, sister, grandchild, stepparent, stepchild,	166
stepbrother, stepsister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law,	167
daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law serves as a	168
member of the board of any provider with which the board of	169
alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services has entered	170
into a contract for the provision of services or facilities. No	171
person shall serve as a member or employee of the board whose	172
spouse, child, parent, brother, sister, stepparent, stepchild,	173
stepbrother, stepsister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law,	174
daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law serves as a	175
county commissioner of a county or counties in the alcohol, drug	176
addiction, and mental health service district.	177

(F) Each year each board member shall attend at least one	178
inservice training session provided or approved by the department	179
of mental health and addiction services.	180

(G) For boards operating as eighteen-member boards, each	181
member shall be appointed for a term of four years, commencing the	182
first day of July, except that one-third of initial appointments	183
to a newly established board, and to the extent possible to	184
expanded boards, shall be for terms of two years, one-third of	185
initial appointments shall be for terms of three years, and	186
one-third of initial appointments shall be for terms of four	187
years. For boards operating as fourteen-member boards, each member	188
shall be appointed for a term of four years, commencing the first	189
day of July, except that four of the initial appointments to a	190
newly established board, and to the extent possible to expanded	191
boards, shall be for terms of two years, five initial appointments	192
shall be for terms of three years, and five initial appointments	193
shall be for terms of four years. No member shall serve more than	194
two consecutive four-year terms under the same appointing	195
authority. A member may serve for three consecutive terms under	196
the same appointing authority only if one of the terms is for less	197
than two years. A member who has served two consecutive four-year	198
terms or three consecutive terms totaling less than ten years is	199
eligible for reappointment by the same appointing authority one	200
year following the end of the second or third term, respectively.	201

When a vacancy occurs, appointment for the expired or	202
unexpired term shall be made in the same manner as an original	203
appointment. The appointing authority shall be notified by	204
certified mail of any vacancy and shall fill the vacancy within	205
sixty days following that notice.	206

Any member of the board may be removed from office by the	207
appointing authority for neglect of duty, misconduct, or	208
malfeasance in office, and shall be removed by the appointing	209
authority if the member is barred by this section from serving as	210
a board member. The member shall be informed in writing of the	211
charges and afforded an opportunity for a hearing. Upon the	212
absence of a member within one year from either four board	213
meetings or from two board meetings without prior notice, the	214
board shall notify the appointing authority, which may vacate the	215
appointment and appoint another person to complete the member's	216
term.	217

Members of the board shall serve without compensation, but	218
shall be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in	219
the performance of their official duties, as defined by rules of	220
the department of mental health and addiction services.	221

Sec. 340.021.  (A) In an alcohol, drug addiction, and mental	222
health service district where the board of county commissioners	223
has established an alcohol and drug addiction services board, the	224
community mental health board established under former section	225
340.02 of the Revised Code shall serve as the entity responsible	226
for providing mental health services in the county. A community	227
mental health board has all the powers, duties, and obligations of	228
a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services	229
with regard to mental health services. An alcohol and drug	230
addiction services board has all the powers, duties, and	231
obligations of a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental	232
health services with regard to addiction services. Any provision	233
of the Revised Code that refers to a board of alcohol, drug	234
addiction, and mental health services with regard to mental health	235
services also refers to a community mental health board and any	236
provision that refers to a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and	237
mental health services with regard to alcohol and drug addiction	238
services also refers to an alcohol and drug addiction services	239
board.	240

An alcohol and drug addiction services board shall consist of	241
eighteen members or fourteen members, at the election of the	242
board. Not later than January 1, 2014, each alcohol and drug	243
addiction services board shall notify the department of mental	244
health and addiction services of its election to operate as an	245
eighteen-member board or to operate as a fourteen-member board.	246
The election shall be final. Failure to provide notice of its	247
election to the department on or before January 1, 2014, shall	248
constitute an election to continue to operate as an	249
eighteen-member board. If an existing board provides timely notice	250
of its election to operate as a fourteen-member board, the number	251
of board members may decline from eighteen to fourteen by	252
attrition as current members' terms expire. However, the	253
composition of the board must reflect the requirements set forth	254
in this section and in applicable provisions of section 340.02 of	255
the Revised Code for fourteen-member boards. For boards operating	256
as eighteen-member boards, six members shall be appointed by the	257
director of mental health and addiction services and twelve	258
members shall be appointed by the board of county commissioners.	259
The director of mental health and addiction services shall ensure	260
that at least one member of the board is a person who has received	261
or is receiving services for alcohol, drug, or gambling addiction	262
paid for with public funds, at least one member is a parent or	263
relative of such a person, and at least one member is a clinician	264
with experience in the delivery of addiction services. The	265
membership of the board shall, as nearly as possible, reflect the	266
composition of the population of the service district as to race	267
and sex. Members shall be residents of the service district and	268
shall be interested in alcohol, drug, or gambling addiction	269
services. Requirements for membership, including prohibitions	270
against certain family and business relationships, and terms of	271
office shall be the same as those for members of boards of	272
alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services.	273

A community mental health board shall consist of eighteen	274
members or fourteen members, at the election of the board. Not	275
later than January 1, 2014, each community mental health board	276
shall notify the department of mental health and addiction	277
services of its election to operate as an eighteen-member board or	278
to operate as a fourteen-member board. The election shall be	279
final. Failure to provide notice of its election to the department	280
on or before January 1, 2014, shall constitute an election to	281
continue to operate as an eighteen-member board. If an existing	282
board provides timely notice of its election to operate as a	283
fourteen-member board, the number of board members may decline	284
from eighteen to fourteen by attrition as current members' terms	285
expire. However, the composition of the board must reflect the	286
requirements set forth in this section and in applicable	287
provisions of section 340.02 of the Revised Code for	288
fourteen-member boards. For boards operating as eighteen-member	289
boards, six members shall be appointed by the director of mental	290
health and addiction services and twelve members shall be	291
appointed by the board of county commissioners. The director of	292
mental health and addiction services shall ensure that at least	293
one member of the board is a person who has received or is	294
receiving mental health services paid for with public funds, at	295
least one member is a parent or relative of such a person, and at	296
least one member is a clinician with experience in the delivery of	297
mental health services. The membership of the board as nearly as	298
possible shall reflect the composition of the population of the	299
service district as to race and sex. Members shall be residents of	300
the service district and shall be interested in mental health	301
services. Requirements for membership, including prohibitions	302
against certain family and business relationships, and terms of	303
office shall be the same as those for members of boards of	304
alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services.	305

(B)(1) If a board of county commissioners subject to division	306
(A) of this section did not adopt a final resolution providing for	307
a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services on	308
or before July 1, 2007, the board of county commissioners may	309
establish a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health	310
services on or after the effective date of this amendment	311
September 23, 2008. To establish the board, the board of county	312
commissioners shall adopt a resolution providing for the board's	313
establishment. The composition of the board, the procedures for	314
appointing members, and all other matters related to the board and	315
its members are subject to section 340.02 of the Revised Code,	316
with the following exceptions:	317

(a) For initial appointments to the board, the county's	318
community mental health board and alcohol and drug addiction	319
services board shall jointly recommend members of those boards for	320
reappointment and shall submit the recommendations to the board of	321
county commissioners and the director of mental health and	322
addiction services.	323

(b) To the greatest extent possible, the appointing	324
authorities shall appoint the initial members from among the	325
members jointly recommended under division (B)(1)(a) of this	326
section.	327

(2) If a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health	328
services is established pursuant to division (B)(1) of this	329
section, the board has the same rights, privileges, immunities,	330
powers, and duties that were possessed by the county's community	331
mental health board and alcohol and drug addiction services board.	332
When the board is established, all property and obligations of the	333
community mental health board and alcohol and drug addiction	334
services board shall be transferred to the board of alcohol, drug	335
addiction, and mental health services.	336

Sec. 340.03.  (A) Subject to rules issued by the director of	337
mental health and addiction services after consultation with	338
relevant constituencies as required by division (A)(10) of section	339
5119.21 of the Revised Code, the board of alcohol, drug addiction,	340
and mental health services shall:	341

(1) Serve as the community addiction and mental health	342
services planning agency for the county or counties under its	343
jurisdiction, and in so doing it shall:	344

(a) Evaluate the need for facilities and community addiction	345
and mental health services;	346

(b) In cooperation with other local and regional planning and	347
funding bodies and with relevant ethnic organizations, assess the	348
community addiction and mental health needs, evaluate strengths	349
and challenges, and set priorities for community addiction and	350
mental health services, including treatment and prevention. When	351
the board sets priorities for the operation of addiction services,	352
the board shall consult with the county commissioners of the	353
counties in the board's service district regarding the services	354
described in section 340.15 of the Revised Code and shall give	355
priority to those services, except that those services shall not	356
have a priority over services provided to pregnant women under	357
programs developed in relation to the mandate established in	358
section 5119.17 of the Revised Code;	359

(c) In accordance with guidelines issued by the director of	360
mental health and addiction services after consultation with board	361
representatives, annually develop and submit to the department of	362
mental health and addiction services a community addiction and	363
mental health services plan listing community addiction and mental	364
health services needs, including the needs of all residents of the	365
district currently receiving inpatient services in state-operated	366
hospitals, the needs of other populations as required by state or	367
federal law or programs, the needs of all children subject to a	368
determination made pursuant to section 121.38 of the Revised Code,	369
and priorities for facilities and community addiction and mental	370
health services during the period for which the plan will be in	371
effect.	372

In alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health service	373
districts that have separate alcohol and drug addiction services	374
and community mental health boards, the alcohol and drug addiction	375
services board shall submit a community addiction services plan	376
and the community mental health board shall submit a community	377
mental health services plan. Each board shall consult with its	378
counterpart in developing its plan and address the interaction	379
between the local addiction services and mental health services	380
systems and populations with regard to needs and priorities in	381
developing its plan.	382

The department shall approve or disapprove the plan, in whole	383
or in part, according to the criteria developed pursuant to	384
section 5119.22 of the Revised Code. Eligibility for state and	385
federal funding shall be contingent upon an approved plan or	386
relevant part of a plan.	387

If a board determines that it is necessary to amend a plan	388
that has been approved under this division, the board shall submit	389
a proposed amendment to the director. The director may approve or	390
disapprove all or part of the amendment. The director shall inform	391
the board of the reasons for disapproval of all or part of an	392
amendment and of the criteria that must be met before the	393
amendment may be approved. The director shall provide the board an	394
opportunity to present its case on behalf of the amendment. The	395
director shall give the board a reasonable time in which to meet	396
the criteria, and shall offer the board technical assistance to	397
help it meet the criteria.	398

The board shall operate in accordance with the plan approved	399
by the department.	400

(d) Promote, arrange, and implement working agreements with	401
social agencies, both public and private, and with judicial	402
agencies.	403

(2) Investigate, or request another agency to investigate,	404
any complaint alleging abuse or neglect of any person receiving	405
services from a community addiction or mental health services	406
provider certified under section 5119.36 of the Revised Code or	407
alleging abuse or neglect of a resident receiving addiction	408
services or with mental illness or severe mental disability	409
residing in a residential facility licensed under section 5119.34	410
of the Revised Code. If the investigation substantiates the charge	411
of abuse or neglect, the board shall take whatever action it	412
determines is necessary to correct the situation, including	413
notification of the appropriate authorities. Upon request, the	414
