Code, shall be one and three-fourths inches in diameter, and shall be surrounded by the proper name of the department, to which may be added the title of any division, board or commission within the department, if the director of the department shall so prescribe. Such seal may be affixed to any writs and authentications of copies of records and official papers, and to such other instruments as may be authorized by law or prescribed by the proper authority in any department to be executed. When so authenticated, any copy of such record, official paper, or other instrument shall be received in evidence in any court in lieu of the original.

Each employe in the several departments shall be entitled during each calendar year to fourteen days leave of absence with full pay. In special and meritorious cases where to limit the annual leave to fourteen days in any one calendar year would work peculiar hardship, it may, in the discretion of the of the department, be extended. No employe in the several departments, employed at a fixed compensation, shall be paid for any extra services, unless expressly authorized by law. Sec. 154-21. Under the direction of the governor, the directors of departments shall devise a practical and working basis for cooperation and coordination of work and for the elimination of duplication and overlapping functions. They shall, so far as practicable, cooperate with each other in the employment of services and the use of quarters and equipment.

Every person, firm and corporation shall be subject to the same obligations and duties and shall have the same rights arising from the exercise of such rights, powers and duties as if such rights, powers and duties were exercised by the officer, board, commission, department or institution, or deputy, inspector or subordinate thereof, designated in the respective laws which are to be administered by departments created by this chapter. Every person, firm and corporation shall be subject to the same penalty or penalties, civil or criminal, for failure to perform any such obligation or duty, or for doing a prohibited act, as if such obligation or duty arose from, or such act were prohibited in, the exercise of such right, power or duty by the officer, board, commission or institution, or deputy, inspector or subordinate thereof, designated in the respective laws which are to be administered by departments created by this chapter.

SECTION 4. Every officer and employe in the classified civil service of the state civil service at the time this act takes effect shall be assigned to a position in the proper department created by this act, and, so far as possible, to duties equivalent to his former office or employment; and such officers and employes shall be employes of the state in the classified civil service of the state of the same standing, grade and privileges which they respectively had in the office, board, department, commission or institution from which they were transferred, subject, however, to existing and future civil service laws. This section shall not be construed to require the retention of more employes than are necessary to the proper performance of the functions of such departments. All books, records, papers, documents, property, real and personal, and pending business in any way pertaining to the rights, powers and duties by this act transferred to or vested in a department created by this act, or to or in any other office, department or institution, at the time this act takes effect shall be delivered and transferred to the department, office or institution succeeding to such rights, powers and duties. This act shall not affect any act done, ratified or affirmed, or any right accrued or established, or any pending action, prosecution or proceedings, civil or criminal, at the time it takes effect; nor shall this act effect causes of such action, prosecution or proceeding existing at the time it takes effect; but such actions, prosecutions or proceedings may be prosecuted and continued, or instituted and prosecuted, by or before the department having jurisdiction or power under this act of the subject matter to which such action, prosecution or proceeding pertains. If the senate is not in session at the time initial appointments are to be made under this act, the governor shall make temporary appointments as in case of a vacancy, to all offices required by this act to be filled by appointment by the governor by and with the advice and consent of the senate, unless the initial appointments are otherwise provided for in this act. If this act shall go into effect prior to the expiration of the present fiscal year, the present existing departments, bureaus, offices, boards, commissions, and other organizations of the state government affected by this act shall continue, and the officers and employes therein shall continue to serve until the expiration of the present fiscal year for which appropriations have been made, unless their terms of office expire prior thereto; and the reorganization herein provided for shall be put into effect and the officers whose positions are hereby created shall assume their duties at the commencement of the succeeding fiscal year. SECTION 5. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency law necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety. The reasons for such necessity lie in facts, which two-thirds of all the members elected to each branch of the general assembly have considered, found and determined and which are separately set forth herein, as follows: The eighty-third general assembly created a joint legislative committee to "investigate all of the * * * offices which have been created by the general assembly * * * with a view of * * * combining and centralizing the duties of the various departments, eliminating such as are useless and securing for the state of Ohio such a reorganization of its governmental activities as will promote greater efficiency and greater economy therein." Said committee made exhaustive investigations and published numerous reports, declaring the necessity of reorganizing fundamentally the executive branch of the state government in order to promote efficiency and conserve the public funds. Upon the organization of the eighty-fourth general assembly, special committees were appointed in each house thereof to consider the recommendations of the former joint committee. The governor, in his message to the general assembly, recommended action along the general lines indicated by the former committee's report. Wide publicity has been given to various projected plans of reorganization. According to the annual reports of the auditor of state, the balances subject to draft in the general revenue fund of the state, from which many of the activities of the state government are supported, had shrunk from more than two million dollars on June 30th, 1919, to less than one million dollars on June 30th, 1920, (all of which, and more, was covered by unlapsed appropriations for the preceding fiscal year), clearly indicating the immediate necessity either for increasing the revenues of the state, or for effecting such a reorganization of the state administration as would tend to conserve the present revenues. General economic conditions make increased taxes highly undesirable at the present time. At the convening of the eighty-fourth general assembly numerous vacancies existed in various state offices and in various state boards, and other like vacancies have occurred since that time. By reason of the known probability of a reorganization such as is embodied in this act, persons appointed to fill such vacancies have uncertain tenure and are thereby deterred from initiating and carrying through definite administrative policies; and in several instances such appointments have been accepted temporarily only, pending early reorganization. As a result of all the foregoing, the state service in the appointive state departments, shown by said investigations to be wasteful and inefficient, is becoming increasingly demoralized. All of these departments exercise functions pertaining to the protection of the public health, the conservation of the public peace and morals, or the promotion of the public safety. The necessity of placing their functions upon a sound, economical, permanent and secure basis is great and immediate. The appropriations for the current expenses of the state government and institutions which must be made by the eighty-fourth general assembly for the fiscal biennium beginning July 1st, 1921, cannot be effectually apportioned nor their amounts fixed unless the reorganization effected by this act is operative during the period to be covered by such appropriations, so that the departments and offices of the state government are definitely determined; and such determination must be made and the framework of the executive branch of the state government must be definitely established and known at the time the general assembly is considering such appropriations. Therefore, this act shall go into immediate effect. Passed April 19, 1921. Approved April 26, 1921. RUPERT BEETHAM, Speaker of the House of Representatives . CLARENCE J.
