Proposed civil penalty rules will be filed with the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR) to begin the rule-making process.
The proposed civil penalties for each livestock care standard will be based on major and minor violations of Ohio Administrative Code 901:12. A major violation may result in a civil penalty of $1,000 up to $5,000 for a first offense and $5,000 up to $10,000 for each subsequent offense. A minor violation may result in a civil penalty of up to $500 for a first offense and up to $1,000 for each subsequent offense. Major and minor violations will remain on record for five years.
