Governor Kasich recently issued Executive Order 2012-03K granting the Department of Commerce, Division of Industrial Compliance exclusive jurisdiction to "regulate the construction of buildings or structures within the scope of the Ohio Building Code directly related to the operation of all natural gas liquids fractionation or processing facilities in the State."  To do so, he asserted that an emergency exists that necessitates the suspension of normal rule-making procedures.

Interesting.
