Ohio HB536 modifies cost apportionment for municipal court civil traffic tickets.

Ohio HB536 amends the Revised Code to adjust how operating costs for municipal courts are apportioned among municipal corporations and townships. The bill specifies that the current operating costs of a municipal court, excluding county-operated courts, should be divided based on the percentage of the total criminal and civil caseload that arises within each municipal corporation or township. It also mandates that municipal corporations and townships are not required to pay more than the total amount of costs, fees, fines, bail, or other collected from them.
