Good morning,

The Legislative Service Commission announces a change to the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) and Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) websites. Effective April 1, 2007, the sites will be hosted by Lawriter, LLC, an Ohio-based company in partnership with the Ohio State Bar Association.

The new site provides many user-friendly features, which should appeal to a wide range of users.

- fully accessible to those with disabilities
- frames-free presentation
- ORC to be updated every quarter
- OAC to be updated every month
- fully searchable
- users can easily drill down to desired section - navigational breadcrumbs track your progress enabling you to quickly return to any previous levels
- choose to view entire chapters or individual sections - the choice is yours
- persistent web addresses - if a code section is updated, its web address will not change

On April 1, please plan to visit the sites at their new addresses:

-- Single menu page with links to both the ORC and OAC located at http://codes.ohio.gov

-- Ohio Revised Code located at http://codes.ohio.gov/orc

-- Ohio Administrative Code located at http://codes.ohio.gov/oac

Thank you,
Julie Hartzell
Rules Unit Administrator
