OH HB570

Authorizes garnishment of Ohio state income tax refunds to collect delinquent court costs and fees that have been unpaid for at least one year

Applies to debts owed to mayor's courts, county courts, municipal courts, and courts of common pleas

Court clerks (or mayors for courts without clerks) may certify delinquent amounts and debtor identities to the Ohio Tax Commissioner using prescribed forms

Courts must notify the Tax Commissioner when certified debts receive whole or partial payment from other sources

Amends Ohio Revised Code section 5747.12 and creates new section 5747.124 to add court costs/fees to the existing list of debts that can be satisfied through tax refund offset
