The bill amends several sections of the Revised Code to enhance the accessibility of labor law notices for employees by allowing employers to post certain required notices online. This includes lists of employed minors and summaries of labor law sections, which must also be available on the premises. The director of commerce is tasked with making these summaries available on the department's website, with an annual update requirement to reflect changes in minimum wage rates. The amendments clarify that employers can meet their posting obligations by providing online access to these notices, thereby simplifying compliance and ensuring employees can easily access important information regarding their rights.

Additionally, the bill addresses workers' compensation by specifying that employees insured under another state's workers' compensation law are not entitled to benefits under Ohio law for injuries sustained while temporarily in the state. It requires employees to elect Ohio benefits within a specified timeframe, waiving claims in other jurisdictions. The bill also mandates that employers post notices about their workers' compensation coverage either conspicuously at their workplaces or online, ensuring employees are informed about their coverage status. Furthermore, it introduces new rules for public employers regarding record maintenance and employee notifications, while repealing several existing sections of the Revised Code to streamline the legislation.
