Introduced Text

Allows deployed elected officials in Ohio to retain their positions and attend meetings virtually.

Ohio HB823 amends the Revised Code to ensure that elected officials deployed on active military duty can retain their positions and participate in meetings virtually. This change applies to various public bodies, including boards, commissions, councils, and boards of trustees. The bill specifies that deployed officials are not considered absent for meeting attendance requirements and are not deemed to have committed nonfeasance in office. It also allows for virtual attendance through teleconference, video conference, or other synchronous electronic technology.
