Let’s give a shout out for State Rep Lauren McNally‘s (D-Youngstown) sponsorship of HB 422, which would apply Ohio Civil Rights protections to unpaid interns!
The Hearing on May 16will cover both the injunctive relief (TRO) and the merits of the case. We hope that the TRO will be extended but the law may go into effect immediately. The hearing is expected to last 2 days, and we anticipate that an appeal is coming regardless of the ruling.
Please follow ACLU Ohio, TransOhio, and Trans Allies of Ohio for more information as it becomes available.
BACKGROUND:
4/24/24 was the effective date of HB 68. It is currently on hold due to a temporary restraining order won by ACLU of Ohio.
Another hearing will take place in May to decide if this temporary injunction will stand until the court hears arguments on the merit of their case against H.B. 68.
Please follow ACLU of Ohio and TransOhio for updates.
