OH HB410

Grants municipal and county courts original and exclusive jurisdiction over civil actions for traffic law violations, including those detected by photo-monitoring devices.

Requires local authorities to provide advance deposits covering all court costs and fees when filing civil actions based on traffic camera violations, with courts retaining deposits regardless of case outcome.

Classifies traffic violations recorded by photo-monitoring devices as civil violations rather than moving violations, with no points assessed to driver's licenses and no reporting to state motor vehicle registration bureaus.

Establishes new reporting requirements for local authorities operating traffic photo-monitoring devices, requiring annual reports to the tax commissioner detailing collected fines by July 31st.

Creates financial consequences for non-compliance: local government fund payments are reduced or withheld based on photo-monitoring fines collected, with amounts deposited into a new Ohio highway and transportation safety fund.
