To the extent that Ohio Law and the provisions of this Chapter may conflict, Ohio Law should be applied. Unless otherwise specifically defined in this Chapter, all terms used herein shall have the same meaning as defined within Chapter 955 of the Ohio Revised Code. Compliance with the requirements of the Ohio Revised Code shall be deemed compliance with similar provisions of this Chapter.
