The bill enacts a new section, 4113.13, of the Revised Code, which mandates the creation of a veterans' benefits and services poster by the director of commerce in consultation with the director of veterans services. This poster will include essential information on various topics relevant to veterans, such as programs offered by the department of veterans services, the veterans crisis line, mental health treatment options, educational resources, tax benefits, and legal services. Additionally, it will inform veterans about the availability of an armed forces designation on Ohio driver's licenses and eligibility for unemployment benefits.
Employers in Ohio are required to display this poster in a prominent location accessible to all employees. The director of commerce will provide a copy of the poster free of charge upon request from employers. This initiative aims to ensure that veterans are well-informed about the benefits and services available to them, thereby enhancing their access to necessary resources.
