Bill Summary
To amend section 124.341 of the Revised Code to extend whistleblower protection to certain reports made to the Inspector General under the Public Employee Whistleblower Law.
AI Summary
This bill revises Ohio's whistleblower protection laws to extend protection to certain reports made to the Inspector General under the Public Employee Whistleblower Law. Specifically, the bill allows public employees to file complaints with the Inspector General in addition to or instead of filing reports with their supervisor, the Office of Internal Audit, or the Auditor of State's fraud-reporting system. The bill also clarifies that the existing protections against disciplinary action for making such reports apply to complaints filed with the Inspector General, but only if the complaint is about a state officer or state employee within the Inspector General's investigative authority.
