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

Section 1. That section 5101.543 of the Revised Code be	6

Sec. 5101.543.  The director of job and family services shall	8
request that the United States secretary of agriculture waive the	9
applicability of the "Food and Nutrition Act of 2008," section	10
6(o)(2), 7 U.S.C. 2015(o)(2), for areas of the state that have	11
unemployment rates of over ten per cent or do not have a	12
sufficient number of jobs to provide employment for the areas'	13
residents. The director shall request the waiver for all areas of	14
the state that qualify to be covered under the waiver. The	15
director shall request the waiver for the entire state when the	16
entire state qualifies to be covered under the waiver, including	17
when the United States department of labor's unemployment	18
insurance service determines that the state qualifies for extended	19
unemployment benefits. The director shall request the waiver each	20
time one or more areas of the state or the entire state qualifies	21
to be covered under the waiver. The director also shall request	22
the waiver whenever the United States secretary informs the	23
director that the secretary would grant the waiver.	24
