Rumpke Sanitary Landfill, Inc. v. State

Sundermann, Judge.

{¶ 1} The state of Ohio and Colerain Township appeal the trial court’s judgment that denied Colerain’s motion to intervene and that struck revisions to R.C. 303.211 and 519.211 as unconstitutional. We conclude that Colerain was not an interested party under R.C. 2721.12, so the trial court had jurisdiction and did not abuse its discretion when it denied Colerain’s motion to intervene. We further conclude that the trial court properly determined that the revisions to R.C. 303.211 and 519.211 violated the one-subject rule.1 We therefore affirm the judgment of the trial court.
