An executive order is a declaration issued by the president or by a governor that has the force of law. Executive Orders are usually based on existing statutory authority and require no action by Congress or the state legislature to become effective. ...
Without the ratification by Congress or the state legilature the Executive order has a 90 day life. The Governor can not pass authority that he does not have to someone else. The Ohio Revised Code can not be changed at the whim of the Governor, it takes the Congress and House to enact change to the Ohio Revised code.

Yes, I doubt it will end it but considering the board consists of 5 Republican Senators, 3 Republican Representatives, and 2 Democrat Representatives they may decide to vote and thumb their noses at an outgoing Democrat Governor using any loop hole they can.
