(B) Minors THE FOLLOWING MINORS aged sixteen or seventeen ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN AGE AND SCHOOLING CERTIFICATE AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT:

Section 2. That existing section 4109.02 of the Revised Code is hereby repealed.


Section 3. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.

Therefore, this act shall go into immediate effect.
