House Bill 395 aims to protect employers from those who skip job interviews
Ohio House Bill 395 proposes the creation of an online registry for individuals who fail to attend job interviews without notice.
The bill aims to protect employers and state unemployment services by promoting accountability and preventing the waste of taxpayer money.
Ohio Representative Brian Lorenz, a co-sponsor, argues the bill is 'common sense' and necessary to bring accountability back to the system.
Opponents, including Senate Democrat Bill DeMora, contend that existing Ohio laws already address unemployment requirements and the bill could unfairly penalize those in emergency situations.
While the Department of Job and Family Services currently has a system for reporting interview no-shows, proponents of the bill seek a more streamlined process.
