Introduced·3/18/25
Introduced Text

Ohio HB180 protects employees from adverse actions for serving or training as precinct election officials.

Ohio HB180 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit employers from taking adverse actions against employees who are absent from work due to their service or training as precinct election officials. This protection applies unless the employee failed to provide reasonable notice to their employer beforehand and is absent specifically for the election service or training. The bill does not mandate employers to provide annual, vacation, or sick leave for these activities, though employees may use such leave if available under other laws or employer policies.
