A BILL
To enact section 101.18 of the Revised Code to 1
allow a General Assembly member to determine the 2
member's legislative aide's work-from-home 3
hours. 4
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 101.18 of the Revised Code be 5
enacted to read as follows: 6
Sec. 101.18. Each member of the general assembly shall 7
determine how many hours per week, if any, the member's 8
legislative aide may work from the aide's place of residence. A 9
general rule or policy that would otherwise apply to the 10
legislative aide applies only if the aide's member has not yet 11
made a determination. 12
Nothing in this section precludes a legislative aide from 13
being permitted to work from the employee's place of residence 14
for more than the amount of hours determined by the member as a 15
reasonable accommodation under Title I of the "Americans with 16
Disabilities Act of 1990," 42 U.S.C. 12111, et seq., or Chapter 17
4112. of the Revised Code. 18
