A BILL

To enact section 4113.13 of the Revised Code to prohibit employers from including on an employment application any question concerning whether an applicant has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a felony.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

Section 1. That section 4113.13 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:

Sec. 4113.13. No employer shall include on any form for application for employment with the employer any question concerning whether the applicant has been convicted of or plead guilty to a felony in this state or any other jurisdiction.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit an employer from completing a criminal records check as part of any application process if otherwise permitted by law.

As used in this section, "employer" has the same meaning as in section 4113.51 of the Revised Code.
