State Legislature Bills

Requires project labor agreements on state-funded infrastructure projects over $10 million, including uniform wages and safety rules, Ohio-resident hiring efforts, registered apprenticeships, and annual reporting on local workforce outcomes.

This bill creates an Ohio program to fund workforce housing near industrial corridors, manufacturing sites, and apprenticeship hubs through grants, low-interest loans, and tax incentives. It ties aid to union or prevailing-wage labor, local hiring, apprenticeship participation, and long-term affordability, with priority for teachers, first responders, trades workers, and manufacturing employees.

The Ohio Working-Class Healthcare Access Expansion Act seeks to improve affordable healthcare access for working-class families by increasing funding for community health centers and supporting union-negotiated health benefits.
