The bill introduced by Senator DeMora aims to enact section 2307.56 of the Revised Code, which establishes a "reasonable expectation test" for determining liability in civil actions related to injuries caused by the consumption of food containing harmful substances. The new section defines key terms such as "food," "food service operation," "operator," and "supplier," aligning them with existing definitions in the Revised Code.

Under this proposed law, if an individual suffers injury, death, or loss due to consuming food that contains a substance injurious to health, the liability of the food service operator or supplier will hinge on whether the injured person had a reasonable expectation that the food was safe. The determination of this expectation will be made by the trier of fact, ensuring that the jury plays a crucial role in assessing the circumstances surrounding the consumption of the food in question.
