SB 277 Ohio Senate · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Regards higher ed accommodations for student election officials

This bill requires state higher education institutions to create a policy that excuses students from missing class if they are working as precinct election officials. Under the new rules, schools cannot penalize students academically for attending required election training or working election shifts. Students who miss exams or other assignments due to this work must receive alternative accommodations if they provide written notice to their instructor at least 24 hours in advance. Additionally, the bill mandates that colleges inform all students about these specific accommodations.
