Ohio HB588 applies employment portions of Civil Rights Law to unpaid interns.
Ohio HB588 amends the Ohio Revised Code to ensure the employment portions of the Ohio Civil Rights Law apply to unpaid interns. This means unpaid interns must be protected from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, military status, familial status, national origin, disability, or ancestry. The bill redefines "employee" to include individuals performing unpaid work for an employer primarily to gain career-relevant knowledge or experience.
