Commissioners told to adopt Butler County cybersecurity program required by state law
Summary
Staff asked the board to adopt a cybersecurity program and policies required by Ohio House Bill 96 (Section 9.64, Ohio Revised Code), noting the full plan is records‑exempt and an executive summary was provided; adoption is required before January 1 under the statute.
County staff told commissioners they must adopt a Butler County cybersecurity program, including policies and an implementation plan, to comply with Ohio House Bill 96 and Section 9.64 of the Ohio Revised Code. Staff said they provided an executive summary to commissioners and offered to brief the board in more detail outside of open session; the complete plan and policies are exempt from public records per the statute.
Staff described the program as the county's approach to prepare response and procedures for a data or system penetration and to designate how Butler County Information Services will enact those procedures. The presenter emphasized the statutory deadline and requested approval so the program would be in effect on January 1.
Commissioners did not debate technical policy details in this session. Staff offered to present full details and answer commissioner questions in a follow‑up meeting.
Next steps: staff requested formal adoption prior to the end of the year to meet the statutory requirement; the record indicates the executive summary was provided to commissioners.
