OH SB8

Public employers in Ohio are prohibited from providing paid leave or compensation for employees to engage in union political activities, including advocating for or against political candidates

Public employers also cannot compensate employees for union lobbying activities that attempt to influence federal, state, or local legislation, ordinances, or ballot measures

Employees may still use accrued personal leave or other general-purpose leave for these political and lobbying activities at their own discretion

Any collective bargaining agreement provision that violates these restrictions is declared void, unenforceable, and against public policy

The law applies only to collective bargaining agreements entered into on or after the effective date, not existing contracts
