The bill amends several sections of the Revised Code to enhance the accessibility of labor law notices for employees by allowing employers to post required notices online. Specifically, it modifies sections 4109.08, 4111.09, 4112.07, 4115.07, 4123.54, 4123.83, and 4167.11, enabling employers to fulfill their posting obligations either at the workplace or on the internet. This includes the requirement to post a complete list of all minors employed and a summary of relevant labor laws. Additionally, the director of commerce is tasked with making summaries of labor laws available online and ensuring they are updated annually. The bill also addresses the posting of notices related to workers' compensation and chemical testing, ensuring employees are informed of their rights and responsibilities.

Moreover, the bill outlines the responsibilities of employers regarding workers' compensation claims and benefits. It stipulates that if an employer pays premiums into the state insurance fund, the administrator will not charge the collected compensation or benefits to the employer's experience. It also clarifies that employees from other states covered under their own workers' compensation laws are not entitled to benefits under Ohio's laws for injuries occurring while temporarily in Ohio. Employees must sign an election form to receive benefits under Ohio law, waiving their rights to file for benefits in other states. The bill further modifies the requirements for posting workers' compensation coverage notices and mandates a program for public employers to analyze employment risk reduction statistics, streamlining the legal framework surrounding workers' compensation.
