Executive Order 2022-02D is an official document issued by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine in response to Russia's war on Ukraine, specifically addressing the State of Ohio's stance and actions regarding Russian institutions and companies. The order applies to all state agencies, boards, commissions, state educational institutions, and pension funds, and is aimed at supporting Ukraine and implementing sanctions against Russia.

The order directs state entities to divest money and assets from Russian institutions and companies, terminate existing contracts, and refrain from entering new contracts with such entities. All agency procurement officers must ensure that contract language reflects the order's prohibitions, require service providers to affirm understanding of the order, disclose business locations, and include specific disclosure requirements in proposals. The order is to be read in conjunction with a previous Executive Order 2019-12D that already largely prohibits contracting and purchasing services from overseas sources, and it does not intend to contradict any state or federal law.
