SB 302 Ohio Senate · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Regards courts and court procedures

SB 302 amends Ohio Revised Code sections to clarify how municipal court judges can sit in different locations within their territorial jurisdictions, including specific assignments for courts in counties like Hamilton, Portage, and Miami. The bill also outlines procedures for judges to perform duties such as officiating marriages and collecting fees outside of active court cases, directing those fees to the appropriate city or county treasury. Additionally, it establishes rules for housing and environmental divisions to create their own procedural guidelines separate from general court rules. This legislation primarily affects municipal court judges, clerks, and the administrative structure of local courts across various Ohio counties.
