The First Ohio District Court of Appeals has upheld a Hamilton County court ruling striking down a Cincinnati law prohibiting municipal employees from living outside the state. The appeals court says the ordinance conflicts with state law. The state law upheld by the Ohio Supreme Court in 2009 says employees of political subdivisions in the state have the right to reside any place they desire. But local governments are allowed to require certain employees to live no farther away than adjacent counties to ensure adequate response times toemergencies or disasters.
