Ohio Revised Code Title I. State Government § 121.952

(A) If a state agency fails to reduce regulatory restrictions by a required percentage within one hundred twenty days after a reduction deadline in section 121.951 of the Revised Code, the joint committee on agency rule review shall afford the state agency an opportunity to appear before the joint committee to show cause why the agency's required reduction in regulatory restrictions should be lessened. If the joint committee determines that the state agency has shown cause, the joint committee shall determine a lessened required reduction in regulatory restrictions for that agency and shall submit a written report to the speaker of the house of representatives and the president of the senate, indicating the lessened required reduction in regulatory restrictions for that agency and the reason the joint committee determined that lessened required reduction.
