- New statute of limitations for workplace discrimination in Ohio;
- Imposes new administrative exhaustion requirement for Ohio state law workplace discrimination claims;
- Changes to standard for personal liability for managers and supervisors;
- Applies the U.S. Supreme Court's Faragher-Ellerth defense to harassment-based discrimination claims; and
- Significantly modifies framework for bringing a claim of age discrimination.
