Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 5705.44, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5705.44.
When contracts or leases run beyond the termination of the fiscal year in which they
are made, the fiscal officer of the taxing authority shall make a certification for
the amount required to meet the obligation of such contract or lease maturing in such
fiscal year. The amount of the obligation under such contract or lease remaining unfulfilled
at the end of a fiscal year, and which will become payable during the next fiscal
year, shall be included in the annual appropriation measure for the next year as a
fixed charge. The certificate required by section 5705.41 of the Revised Code as to money in the treasury shall not be required for contracts on which payments
are to be made from the earnings of a publicly operated water works or public utility,
but in the case of any such contract made without such certification, no payment shall
be made on account thereof, and no claim or demand thereon shall be recoverable, except
out of such earnings. That certificate also shall not be required if requiring the certificate makes it
impossible for a county board of developmental disabilities to pay the nonfederal
share of medicaid expenditures that the county board is required by sections 5126.059 and 5126.0510 of the Revised Code to pay.
