I Want to Work There, but do I Have to Live There? Ohio's Restrictions on Residency Laws to be Tested

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | November 18, 2008 - 12:36

Oral argument is scheduled for January 20, 2009 in the cases of State of Ohio v. City of Akron, Case No. 2008-0418 [Appellate decision: City of Akron v. State of Ohio, (Jan. 9, 2008), 2008-ohio-38] and City of Lima v. State of Ohio, Case No. 2008-0128 [Appellate decision: City of Lima v. State of Ohio (Dec. 3, 2007), 2007-Ohio-6419, Allen County App. No. 1-07-21]. These cases held unconstitutional the state’s restrictions on city residency requirements enacted by S.B. 82 in 2006.

How did I stumble upon this bit of info? Sue Altmeyer recently added an option to subscribe to an RSS feed of Pending Ohio Supreme Court Opinions re the Ohio Constitution to her Ohio Constitutional Law and History Resource Guide on our web site. If you have in interest in Ohio state and local government, be sure to bookmark this guide: it is a tremendous source of information and insight into how Ohio operates (not a bad source for ideas for paper topics, either!)
