It directly affects Ohio employees who live in the state, cannot use publicly funded child care, and are selected by their employer to participate. The program requires voluntary enrollment, sets eligibility rules for employees, employers, and licensed child care providers, and has the department manage payments and administration. The bill appropriates state funds specifically for this program to help reduce child care expenses for participating families.

To amend sections 5101.54 and 5101.542 of the Revised Code to require Ohio's SNAP program to begin using chip-enabled EBT cards, to name this act the Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act, and to make an appropriation.
This Ohio Senate resolution (SR 29) urges Congress to resume restoring SNAP benefits stolen through card skimming and to fund anti-fraud measures. It specifically requests Congress extend federal funding to replace benefits stolen via fraudulent devices on EBT cards (which lack security chips) and upgrade EBT cards to include security chips. The resolution cites Ohio’s successful replacement of over $12.6 million in stolen benefits using prior federal funding. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new law but formally requests federal action to address ongoing fraud.
