Ohio Rev. Code § 5103.0326: Nonrenewals based on refusals to accept children.

(A) A recommending agency may recommend that the department of children and youth revoke a foster home certificate under section 5103.03 of the Revised Code if the foster caregiver refused to accept the placement of any children into the foster home during the preceding twelve months. Based on the agency's recommendation, the department may revoke a foster home certificate pursuant to an adjudication under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code.

(B) The department of children and youth may revoke, pursuant to an adjudication under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, the certification of any foster caregiver who has not cared for one or more foster children in the foster caregiver's home within the preceding twelve months. Prior to the revocation of any certification pursuant to this division, the recommending agency shall have the opportunity to provide good cause for the department to continue the certification and not revoke the certification. If the department decides to revoke the certification, the department shall notify the recommending agency that the certification will be revoked.
