AI Summary
This bill amends the Ohio Revised Code to make COVID-19 contracted by an employee of a retail food establishment or food processing establishment an occupational disease covered under the Workers' Compensation Law under certain circumstances. It establishes a presumption that COVID-19 contracted by such an employee during the state of emergency declared due to the COVID-19 pandemic was contracted in the course of and arising out of the employee's employment, which can be refuted by affirmative evidence. The bill also declares the act to be an emergency measure necessary for the immediate preservation of public health and safety.
