Sub. H.B. No. 15, 136th General Assembly (As Enrolled) statute two-reviewer
“That sections 3706.40, 3706.41, 3706.43, 3706.431, 3706.45, 3706.46, 3706.49, ECTION 3706.491, 3706.55, 3706.551, 3706.59, 3706.63, 3706.65, 4906.105, 4928.143, 4928.148, 4928.47, and 4928.642 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.”

Downloaded directly (101-page PDF) from search-prod.lis.state.oh.us, the underlying Ohio Legislative Information System document API that ohiohouse.gov's own “View Bill Text (PDF)” links point to, and text-extracted locally with pdfplumber, not via WebFetch summarization. PDF-EXTRACTION ARTIFACT (same pattern as the sibling TX collector file's 'AA' tokens): the enrolled bill's two-column drop-cap 'SECTION' heading extracts as a stray mid-sentence 'ECTION' token when pdfplumber concatenates the drop-cap 'S' (positioned in the left margin gutter) out of reading order with the body text that follows the SAME 'SECTION 3.' heading on the next line, here injected between '3706.49,' and '3706.491,' in a mid-sentence list, even though the visible/rendered bill text reads as one continuous sentence with 'SECTION 3.' only appearing once at the start. Reproduced verbatim per collection rules rather than silently corrected. A full-text, page-by-page search of all 101 pages for the case-insensitive string “data center” returned ZERO matches, the basis for this instrument's finding that HB 15 contains no data-center-specific text. Sections 3706.4x/3706.5x/3706.6x are the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority solar-generation-fund provisions tied to 2019's H.B. 6 (133rd GA). The enrolled PDF's own signature block (p.100) is blank (Speaker/President/Governor lines left as blank underscores), consistent with an enrolled-bill template captured before physical signing.
