Ohio § 4141.41

§ 4141.41.

Any nonresident employer who exercises the privilege of having one or more individuals

perform personal services for the nonresident employer within this state and any resident

employer who exercises that privilege and thereafter removes from this state shall

be deemed thereby to appoint the secretary of state as the employer's agent and attorney

for the acceptance of process in any civil action under this section.  The director of job and family services in instituting an action against any such

employer shall cause such process or notice to be filed with the secretary of state

and such service shall be sufficient service upon such employer, and shall be of the

same force and validity as if served upon the employer personally within this state;

 provided the director shall forthwith send notice of the service of such process

or notice, together with a copy thereof, by registered mail, return receipt requested,

to such employer at the employer's last known address, and such return receipt, the

director's affidavit of compliance with this section, and the copy of the notice of

service shall be appended to the original of the process filed in the court in which

such civil action is pending.  The court in which such action is pending may grant continuances to afford such

employer a reasonable opportunity to defend the employer's interests. The courts of this state shall recognize and enforce liabilities for unemployment

contributions imposed by other states which extend a like comity to this state. The attorney general may commence action in any other jurisdiction by and in the name

of the director to collect unemployment contributions, forfeitures, and interest legally

due this state.  The officials of other states which extend a like comity to this state may sue for

the collection of such contributions in the courts of this state.  A certificate by the secretary of state under the great seal of the state that such

officers of the department as designated by the director have authority to collect

the unemployment contributions shall be conclusive evidence of such authority. No person residing in this state shall willfully make a false statement or representation

or knowingly fail to disclose a material fact to obtain or increase benefits or payments

under the unemployment insurance law of any other state. The attorney general may commence action in this state as agent for or on behalf of

any other state to enforce judgments and liabilities for unemployment insurance taxes

or contributions due such other state if such other state extends a like comity to

this state.
