In 2018, the Ohio General Assembly established a program that allows an eligible practitioner who is impaired due to a substance use disorder to avoid formal disciplinary action by the State Medical Board (SMBO) by utilizing established confidential monitoring and treatment conditions as defined in ORC 4731.251 and 4731.252. This is known as the One-Bite Program.
