Executive Order 2022-02D is an official document issued by Mike DeWine, Governor of the State of Ohio, addressing the state's response to Russia's war on Ukraine. The order specifically targets Ohio state agencies, boards, commissions, state educational institutions, and pension funds, focusing on severing financial and contractual ties with Russian institutions and companies in light of the conflict.

The document directs all state procurement officers and executive agencies to divest from Russian investments, terminate existing contracts, and prohibit future contracts with Russian institutions or companies. Key requirements include mandating standard contract language that reflects the order's prohibitions, requiring service providers to affirm understanding of the order, disclose business locations, and provide details about subcontractors. The order applies broadly to various business entities including sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and other profit-generating organizations. It is intended to be read in conjunction with a previous Executive Order 2019-12D concerning offshore services and is designed to support Ukraine while aligning with federal sanctions against Russia.
