A shared employee under a professional employer organization agreement shall not,

solely as a result of being a shared employee, be considered an employee of the professional

employer organization for purposes of general liability insurance, fidelity bonds,

surety bonds, employer liability not otherwise covered by Chapters 4121. and 4123.

of the Revised Code, or liquor liability insurance carried by the professional employer

organization, unless the professional employer organization agreement and applicable

prearranged employment contract, insurance contract, or bond specifically states otherwise. A shared employee shall be considered an employee of the professional employer organization

for purposes of determining whether a professional employer organization who sponsors

a group health benefit plan is a small employer under division (M)(1) of section 3924.01 of the Revised Code .  A fully insured health benefit plan sponsored by a professional employer organization

is not subject to sections 3924.01 to 3924.06 of the Revised Code if the professional employer organization is not a small employer for purposes of

those sections.
