The proposed bill, known as the Consumer Protection Call Center Act, aims to regulate the eligibility of employers that relocate call centers to foreign countries in relation to state grants, loans, and other benefits. It introduces new sections (4113.87 to 4113.92) to the Revised Code, defining key terms such as "employer," "state agency," and "part-time employee." The bill mandates that employers intending to relocate a call center or significant portions of it must notify the director of job and family services at least 120 days prior to the move. Failure to provide this notice could result in civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.

Additionally, the bill establishes that employers who relocate will be ineligible for state economic incentives for five years following the relocation. However, there are provisions for waiving this disqualification if the employer can demonstrate potential substantial job loss, environmental harm, or significant economic impact to the state. Furthermore, it requires that all call center work for state agencies be performed within Ohio, and prohibits contractors from hiring individuals to perform such work outside the state. The bill also clarifies that it does not affect employee benefits under existing state laws for those employed by relocating employers.
