The bill enacts a new section, 102.10, of the Revised Code, which allows certain public hospitality employees to accept gratuities in addition to their regular compensation. A "public hospitality employee" is defined as a public employee whose primary duties are performed at various publicly owned facilities, including parks, swimming pools, golf courses, hotels, theaters, and retail establishments. The bill specifies that these employees may receive gratuities from patrons as recognition for their services.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that public agencies employing these hospitality workers cannot count the gratuities towards the minimum wage requirements set forth in the Ohio Constitution and relevant state laws. This legislation aims to enhance the compensation structure for public hospitality employees while ensuring compliance with existing wage laws.
