❌ SB77
Require a system to anonymously report wage discrimination
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Judiciary)
Summary
The bill requires the Ohio Civil Rights Commission to establish a system for individuals to anonymously report wage discrimination by employers, allowing complaints to be submitted via a toll-free number or website. The Commission is mandated to review all complaints in a timely manner.
Rationale
The bill imposes government oversight on wage agreements between employers and employees, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of free markets and minimal government interference in private contracts.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over private employment agreements
- Potential for misuse of the anonymous reporting system
- Encouragement of frivolous complaints
