Ohio HB546 regulates employment of minors in the entertainment industry, including age verification, medical certification, and trust account.

Ohio HB546 amends and enacts sections of the Revised Code to regulate the employment of minors as performers in the entertainment industry. Employers must provide a written statement to the minor's parent or guardian, who must then have the minor examined by a physician to determine physical capability. Employers must keep documentation on file and deposit 15% of the minor's earnings into a trust account. The bill also sets specific hours minors can work and outlines exceptions for certain types of employment.
