Lead Sponsors: Senator Bill DeMora and Senator Theresa Gavarone
Status: Introduced (February 4, 2025)
Description: The bill includes certain election officials as designated public service workers for public records law provisions that exempt their residential and familial information from disclosure. The bill uses the "election official" definition in R.C. 3501.01 but excludes precinct election officials and temporary or part-time employees of a board of elections.
The Legislative Service Commission's fiscal analysis of a similar bill from the 135th General Assembly determined that there would likely be minimal local costs, if any, and that they may be offset by a reduction in costs to fulfill now-exempted requests.
CCAO Position: No position (as of February 2025)
