OH SB91

Adds credit history discrimination as an unlawful employment practice under Ohio Civil Rights Law by amending section 4112.02 to prohibit employers from using credit rating, score, or consumer credit history in hiring, tenure, terms, conditions, or other employment decisions.

Extends the filing deadline for credit history discrimination charges to six months after the alleged unlawful practice, consistent with other employment discrimination claims under the law.

Applies the same enforcement mechanisms and remedies available for other forms of employment discrimination, including commission investigation, informal conciliation, formal hearings, cease-and-desist orders, and potential damages.

Renumbers existing sections (L) through (Q) of section 4112.02 to (M) through (R) to accommodate the new credit history discrimination provision as subsection (K).

Updates cross-references throughout sections 4112.05, 4112.08, and 4112.14 to reflect the addition of credit history discrimination as a covered unlawful practice.
