The director of health shall file proposed rules in accordance with section 119.03 of the Revised Code. If, prior to expiration of the time for legislative review and invalidation under division (I) of that section, the joint committee on agency rule review recommends the adoption of a concurrent resolution invalidating a proposed rule, the director shall withdraw the proposed rule, revise it, and refile it as if it were a newly proposed rule; the director shall not file the proposed rule in final form. A proposed rule that the director refiles following a recommendation for a concurrent resolution of invalidation shall be treated, for purposes of determining the time for legislative review and invalidation under section 119.03 of the Revised Code, as if it were a newly proposed rule. If, after filing the revised proposed rule, the joint committee again recommends the adoption of a concurrent resolution of invalidation, the director shall file the revised proposed rule in final form in accordance with section 111.15 of the Revised Code, and the rule shall take effect in accordance with that section.

If, prior to expiration of the time for legislative review and invalidation, the joint committee does not recommend the adoption of a concurrent resolution invalidating a proposed rule or revised proposed rule filed in accordance with section 119.03 of the Revised Code, the director shall file the rule in final form in accordance with section 119.04 of the Revised Code, and the rule shall take effect in accordance with that section.

Initial rules adopted for each activity specified in section 3702.11 of the Revised Code shall include rules pertaining to all of the matters required by section 3702.16 of the Revised Code.
