Ohio Admin. Code 102-5-10 - Deadlines; receipt of financial disclosure statements
(A) General filing
deadline:
(1) The general filing deadline is
May fifteenth of each year.
(2) If
May fifteenth falls on a day that the ethics commission is closed to the public
for the entire day, the filing deadline will be determined by section
1.14 of the Revised
Code.
(3) If the internal revenue
service has extended or changed the April fifteenth filing deadline for federal
tax returns in any year, the commission may, by a vote of four members, extend
the general financial disclosure filing deadline up to thirty days past that
deadline.
(4) The general filing
deadline does not apply to any of the following persons:
(a) A candidate for elective
office;
(b) A person appointed to
an unexpired term of elective office;
(c) A person who holds elective office in a
village advanced to city status;
(d) A person appointed to or employed in a
non-elective filing position after February fifteenth of any calendar year; or
(e) A state employee serving in a
filing position in a temporary working level until he or she has served in the
position for more than ninety days.
The appropriate filing deadline for each of these individuals is set forth in this rule.
(B) Filing deadline for a candidate for
elective office:
(1) A candidate for elective
office must file the financial disclosure statement no later than the thirtieth
day before the primary, special, or general election at which the candidate's
candidacy is to be voted upon, whichever election occurs first.
(2) A person who is a write-in candidate must
file the financial disclosure statement no later than the twentieth day before
the earliest election at which the write-in candidate's candidacy is to be
voted upon.
(3) For purposes of
paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2) of this rule, a "candidate" is defined as a person
certified by a board of elections for placement on the official ballot of a
primary, general, or special election as described in division (H) of section
3501.01 of the Revised
Code.
(4) An incumbent who serves
in any of the offices for which the filing of a financial disclosure statement
with the ethics commission is required, and who, at the time of the general
filing deadline for the filing of a financial disclosure statement, is not
certified by a board of elections for placement on the official ballot of a
primary, special, or general election, is not a "candidate" at the time of the
deadline. Therefore, the incumbent is required to file a financial disclosure
statement with the Ohio ethics commission on or before the general filing
deadline, due to having held office in the prior year, even if the incumbent
intends to become a "candidate" later in the year in which the statement is
required to be filed.
(C) Filing deadline for a person appointed to
an unexpired term of elective office:
(1) A
person appointed to fill a vacancy for an unexpired term of elective office
must file the financial disclosure statement within fifteen days after the
person is sworn into office.
(D) Filing deadline for a person who holds
elective office in a village advanced to city status:
(1) A person who holds elective office in a
village that has been advanced to a city based on an increase in the population
of the municipality is not required to file a financial disclosure statement so
long as the person continues in the village position to which the person was
elected or appointed prior to the advancement of the municipality;
(2) A person who holds elective office in a
village that has been advanced to a city must file a financial disclosure
statement consistent with paragraph (B) of this rule if the person is a
candidate or write-in candidate for an elective position with the
city.
(E) Filing
deadline for a person newly appointed to, or employed in, a non-elective filing position after
February fifteenth of any calendar year:
(1)
A person who is newly appointed to a non-elective
position after February fifteenth must file within ninety days of the
appointment date or the term start date, whichever is later.
(2)
A person who is
employed in a non-elective position after February fifteenth must file within
ninety days of the employment date.
A person who is appointed to, or

position in a temporary working level for fewer than ninety days is not
required to file a financial disclosure statement;
(2) A state employee serving in a filing
position in a temporary working level for ninety days or more is required to
file a financial disclosure statement. The employee must file the statement
