S.B. 12 would establish employment period minimums for Ohioans trained through state-backed oil and gas programs
In February, Sen. Capri Cafaro (D-Hubbard) introduced S.B. 12, which would require oil and gas well owners to employ for no less than three years any hired Ohio resident who was trained for the industry in state-backed programs, The Vindicator reports. The bill would also appropriate $10 million in fiscal year 2013 to oil and gas training programs at community and technical colleges, as well as “to provide employee training grants to oil or gas well owners,” an analysis of the bill said. The bill is currently pending before the Senate Education Committee. For more, read the full story and the full text of S.B. 12.
