OH HB473

Prohibits public employers from paying the employee's share of contributions to Ohio's five state retirement systems: Public Employees Retirement System, Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund, State Teachers Retirement System, School Employees Retirement System, and State Highway Patrol Retirement System

Removes employer "pickup" of employee retirement contributions as a subject of collective bargaining for agreements entered into after the bill's effective date

Contributions may still be treated as employer contributions for state and federal income tax deferred income purposes, preserving the tax treatment while shifting actual payment responsibility to employees

Applies to school district and public school employment contracts entered into on or after the effective date

Also adds state employee worksite location as a non-bargainable subject for collective bargaining agreements entered into on or after September 30, 2025
