House Bill 395 aims to protect employers from those who skip job interviews

• Ohio House Bill 395 proposes the creation of an online registry for individuals who fail to attend job interviews without notice.
• The bill aims to protect employers and state unemployment services by promoting accountability and preventing the waste of taxpayer money.
• Ohio Representative Brian Lorenz, a co-sponsor, argues the bill is 'common sense' and necessary to bring accountability back to the system.
• Opponents, including Senate Democrat Bill DeMora, contend that existing Ohio laws already address unemployment requirements and the bill could unfairly penalize those in emergency situations.
• While the Department of Job and Family Services currently has a system for reporting interview no-shows, proponents of the bill seek a more streamlined process.
