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

Section 1. That section 121.531 of the Revised Code be	6
enacted to read as follows:	7

Sec. 121.531.  No recipient or distributor of funds received	8
under the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009," Pub.	9
L. No. 111-5, 123 Stat. 115, shall spend such funds to purchase,	10
produce, erect, or maintain signs identifying the American	11
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as the source of specific	12
project funding.	13

Section 2. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency	14
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public	15
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is that	16
as federal stimulus funds are being depleted, it is imperative	17
that the funds be used to create jobs and stimulate economic	18
growth in Ohio. Therefore, this act shall go into immediate	19
effect.	20
