What is included in the distribution of fees collected from fines by the board?

The correct choice reflects the specific distribution of fees collected from fines as mandated by Ohio law regarding the chiropractic board. In Ohio, when fines are imposed, the structure typically allocates a portion of the collected fees to the board and a portion to the county where the offense occurred. This reflects a balance aimed at providing funding for both regulatory oversight (to support the board’s activities) and local government needs (benefiting the county).

This equitable division serves both administrative functions and addresses the local impact of regulatory violations. Distributing fees in this manner helps ensure that the enforcement of regulations also contributes positively to community resources and supports regulatory bodies in their ongoing efforts.

Looking at the other choices, one-third to the state treasury and one-third to the board does not conform to the statutory requirements of fee distribution, as it does not provide for local counties. Similarly, stating that all fees would go exclusively to the board overlooks the role of the local counties in these offenses and the necessity of contributing resources back to those local jurisdictions. Additionally, asserting that two-thirds go to the county of offense neglects the necessary funding of the board itself, which is crucial for its operation and regulatory oversight.
