The Ohio Ethics Commission and the Ohio Casino Control Commission will jointly host information sessions regarding the Ohio Ethics Law as it pertains to Ohio’s casinos. The free educational sessions will be held in the four Ohio cities where casinos are located.

The sessions will offer guidance regarding the Ohio Ethics Law to those in the casino industry as well as the public officials and employees charged with regulating Ohio’s casinos, both at the state and local level.

“Because casinos are relatively new to Ohio, it’s important for people to understand when ethical dilemmas may occur and what to do about them,” said Ohio Ethics Commission Executive Director Paul Nick. “These sessions will help both the public and private sectors to identify and avoid potential violations of Ohio’s Ethics Laws.”

The sessions will be held on the following dates:

1.         Friday, October 4, 2013

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
