Ohio Ethics Law |
No provision. |
Provides that the members
of the judicial advisory board and the facility governing board of a CBCF or
DCBCF are to be considered public officials or employees for purposes of the
Ohio Ethics Law and to be considered public officials or public servants for
purposes of provisions of law dealing with conflicts of interest (R.C. 2301.51(A)(6)). |
Retains the provisions of
the Senate Version but clarifies that each officer or board member of a
nonprofit or private entity who serves solely as an officer or board
member and who does not serve the CBCF or DCBCF as director or
in a substantially equivalent capacity to director is not required to
file a financial disclosure statement with the Ohio Ethics Commission (R.C. 2301.55(A)(2)(d)). |
Collective bargaining |
No provision. |
No provision. |
Adds to the list of
persons exempted from the definition of
"public employee" for purposes of the Collective Bargaining
Law employees of a CBCF and DCBCF created under the bill who are not subject
to a collective bargaining agreement on June 1, 2005; states that this
preserves the nonexempt collective bargaining status of employees of CBCFs
and DCBCFs who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement existing on
June 1, 2005 and specifies that these employees maintain their nonexempt
status beyond the termination date of the existing collective bargaining
agreement; and states that all employees who are not covered by a collective
bargaining agreement on June 1, 2005, will be exempt from collective
bargaining rights under the Collective Bargaining Law (R.C. 4117.01(C)(18) and Section 4 of the bill). |
