The bill amends various sections of the Revised Code to enhance the accessibility of labor law information for employees by allowing employers to post required labor law notices online, in addition to physical postings. This includes summaries of labor laws, information regarding minors' employment, and wage laws, which must now be made available both online and in conspicuous physical locations. The bill also introduces new requirements for contractors and subcontractors to post wage rates and compliance information online, as well as provisions for workers' compensation notices related to chemical testing.

Additionally, the bill addresses workers' compensation laws, specifying that employees covered under another state's workers' compensation laws are not entitled to benefits in Ohio for injuries sustained while temporarily in the state. It requires employees to elect Ohio benefits within twenty-eight days of a request, waiving claims in other jurisdictions. The bill modifies the posting requirements for workers' compensation coverage notices, mandating that they be posted conspicuously either in the workplace or online. It also establishes a framework for collecting employment risk reduction statistics and repeals several existing sections of the Revised Code to streamline the legislation.
