OH HB696

Amends Ohio Revised Code section 1901.34 to modify the prosecutorial jurisdiction of the Erie County prosecuting attorney in Erie County Municipal Court

Requires the Erie County prosecuting attorney to prosecute all state law violations arising in unincorporated areas of the county, with specific exceptions for Florence, Huron, Perkins, and Vermilion townships

Removes Erie County from the group of counties where prosecutors receive additional compensation for municipal court duties, meaning the Erie County prosecutor will not receive extra pay for these responsibilities

Takes effect upon the effective date of the amendment, changing the scope from the previous January 1, 2024 provision that applied to all unincorporated areas without township exceptions
