6.4 Ohio Revised Code

The Ohio Revised Code lays out the rules by which local governments operate. You are not required to read those statutes; I just want you to know they exist and the state controls much about local government.  

For the record, the Ohio Revised Code is a collection of all permanent laws enacted by the Ohio General Assembly, organized by subject matter into titles, chapters, and sections. It serves as the primary source of state law in Ohio, detailing the statutes and regulations that govern various aspects of life in the state.
