MODERATE
The bill was amended to create two separate databases: one for state government spending and one for local government spending. The state database now includes detailed requirements for tracking both expenditures and revenue, while the local database focuses on political subdivisions. The bill also added a new requirement for the Department of Transportation to report on grant and loan expenses.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly create and maintain a separate 'Ohio Local Government Expenditure Database' for political subdivisions, in addition to the existing state database.
REQUIREMENT

Added a new requirement for the Department of Transportation to prepare and submit expense reports regarding grants and loans to the legislature.

Modified the state database requirements to include tracking of revenue received by state entities, not just expenditures.

Added new sections establishing a separate 'Ohio Local Government Expenditure Database' for counties, cities, and other political subdivisions.

DEFINITION

Added new definitions for 'State entity' and 'State retirement system' to clarify which organizations must participate in the state database.

TIMELINE

Modified reporting timelines for both state and local entities to require updates every six months starting five years after the amendment's effective date.
