OH HB788

Expands the definition of "public safety employee" to include law enforcement officers (as defined in section 9.69 of the Revised Code), in addition to firefighters and emergency medical technicians

Public safety employees who are members of the Ohio organized militia or U.S. armed forces reserve components receive paid military leave calculated as 17 twenty-four-hour days or 408 hours per federal fiscal year

Law enforcement officers now qualify for the same enhanced paid military leave calculation previously available only to firefighters and EMTs

Amendments apply to collective bargaining agreements entered into, modified, or renewed on or after the effective date of the act
