Here's a look at some of the issues we're tracking in the 135th General Assembly
NFIB's Legislative Agenda for Ohio
- Continuing TechCred as a way for employers to receive reimbursement for upskilling current and prospective employees.
- Reducing or eliminating obstacles to state licensure. “One in five jobs in Ohio requires the state’s permission to practice,” Ferruso said. “We believe it’s time the General Assembly review which jobs require a license and make it easier, not harder, for people to work.”
- Making the Department of Education & Workforce a cabinet-level agency to ensure accountability on education and workforce training.
