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 notices online. Key modifications include the requirement for employers to display lists of employed minors and summaries of labor law sections both on their premises and on the internet. Additionally, the bill mandates that the director of commerce provide updated summaries of labor laws on the department's website, thereby modernizing the communication of labor laws and ensuring that employees are well-informed about their rights and responsibilities.

Furthermore, the bill introduces significant changes to workers' compensation laws, particularly regarding employer responsibilities and employee rights. It specifies 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. The bill also clarifies that employees from other states covered under their own workers' compensation laws are not eligible for benefits under Ohio's laws for injuries sustained while temporarily in the state. Additionally, it allows professional athletes and coaches to receive workers' compensation coverage through league policies from other states under certain conditions and requires employers to post notices about their workers' compensation coverage both in the workplace and online. The bill also repeals several existing sections of the Revised Code to streamline the legal framework surrounding workers' compensation.
