SB 423: Regards employment status of health care workers for certain laws

Ohio · Senate · 136th General Assembly (2025–2026) · last verified September 24, 2026

What SB 423 does, verified September 24, 2026

The bill amends several Ohio Revised Code sections to specify that a health care worker is not considered an employee of a health care worker platform or health care facility under certain circumstances. This change affects laws related to employment standards, overtime pay, minimum wage, and labor regulations. The amendments aim to clarify the legal status of health care workers who use platforms to find work, ensuring they are not subject to specific employer-employee laws when booked through these platforms.<br><p>The bill addresses how the United States Department of Labor and federal courts interpret the term "volunteer" under the Fair Labor Standards Act and its regulations.</p>
