Summary

The bill revises the Unemployment Compensation Law to require each employer to keep a separate account, set rules for moving negative balances into a shared pool, and create new reporting and experience‑rate rules for professional employer organizations (PEOs) and alternate employer organizations (AEOs). It also adds procedures for handling over‑paid benefits, account closures, business transfers, and a minimum contribution rate. The changes affect all Ohio employers, especially those that use PEOs or AEOs, and the state unemployment fund.
