Ohio House of Representatives Commerce and Labor Committee
Senate Bill 30 Testimony
Tuesday, April 18, 2023
Ohio Statehouse

Chairman Johnson and members of the House of Representative’s Commerce and Labor
Committee, thank you for the opportunity to present testimony in support of Senate Bill 30.

As President & CEO of the Pickerington Area Chamber of Commerce, | represent the needs of
more than 400 small- to mid-size business owners and entrepreneurs in a thriving area
preparing for additional growth. | am testifying in favor of Senate Bill 30 as a positive and vital
means to aid in the debilitating workforce issues our businesses are facing.

By providing the opportunity for 14- or 15-year-olds to be employed between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
at any time during the year, Senate Bill 30 will ease staffing burdens faced by business owners
across the state and has the added benefit of bolstering work skills and ethics of the next
generation. By requiring approval from the minor’s parent or legal guardian to work during
these additional hours, Senate Bill 30 also preserves the protection of minors as intended by
current law.

Thank you, Chairman Johnson and members of the committee, for the opportunity to share my
support of Senate Bill 30.

Sincerely,

Kim Barlag
President & CEO

THE MISSION of the Pickerington Area Chamber of Commerce is to connect business, government,
