  • Proposed rules are defined as rules that are filed with the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR), the Legislative Service Commission (LSC), and the Secretary of State. 
  • Final rules are defined as those that have completed the rules process, been adopted by the Director of the Ohio Department of Insurance, and are codified in the Ohio Administrative Code.
