(G) All moneys paid into a municipal court shall be noted 4,488
on the record of the case in which they are paid and shall be 4,489
deposited in a state or national bank, or a domestic savings and 4,490
loan association, as defined in section 1151.01 of the Revised 4,491
Code, that is selected by the clerk. Any interest received upon 4,492
the deposits shall be paid into the city treasury, except that, 4,493
in a county-operated municipal court, the interest shall be paid 4,494
into the treasury of the county in which the court is located. 4,495
On the first Monday in January of each year, the clerk 4,497
shall make a list of the titles of all cases in the court that 4,498
were finally determined more than one year past in which there 4,499
remains unclaimed in the possession of the clerk any funds, or 4,500
any part of a deposit for security of costs not consumed by the 4,501
costs in the case. The clerk shall give notice of the moneys to 4,502
the parties who are entitled to the moneys or to their attorneys 4,503
of record. All the moneys remaining unclaimed on the first day 4,504
of April of each year shall be paid by the clerk to the city 4,505
treasurer, except that, in a county-operated municipal court, the 4,506
moneys shall be paid to the treasurer of the county in which the 4,507
court is located. The treasurer shall pay any part of the moneys 4,509
at any time to the person who has the right to the moneys upon 4,510
proper certification of the clerk.
(H) Deputy clerks may be appointed by the clerk and shall 4,512
99
receive the compensation, payable in semimonthly installments out 4,513
of the city treasury, that the clerk may prescribe, except that 4,514
the compensation of any deputy clerk of a county-operated 4,515
municipal court shall be paid out of the treasury of the county 4,516
in which the court is located. Each deputy clerk shall take an 4,517
oath of office before entering upon the duties of the deputy 4,518
clerk's office and, when so qualified, may perform the duties 4,519
appertaining to the office of the clerk. The clerk may require 4,520
any of the deputy clerks to give bond of not less than three 4,521
thousand dollars, conditioned for the faithful performance of the 4,522
deputy clerk's duties.
(I) For the purposes of this section, whenever the 4,524
population of the territory of a municipal court falls below one 4,525
hundred thousand but not below ninety thousand, and the 4,526
population of the territory prior to the most recent regular 4,527
federal census exceeded one hundred thousand, the legislative 4,528
authority of the municipal corporation may declare, by 4,529
resolution, that the territory shall be considered to have a 4,530
population of at least one hundred thousand. 4,531
(J) The clerk or a deputy clerk shall be in attendance at 4,533
all sessions of the municipal court, although not necessarily in 4,534
the courtroom, and may administer oaths to witnesses and jurors 4,535
and receive verdicts. 4,536
Section 9. That the existing version of section 1901.31 of 4,538
the Revised Code that is scheduled to take effect January 1, 4,539
2002, is hereby repealed.
Section 10. Sections 8 and 9 of this act shall take effect 4,541
January 1, 2002. 4,542
Section 11. Section 1901.31 of the Revised Code is 4,544
presented in Section 8 of this act as a composite of the section 4,546
as amended by both Sub. H.B. 559 and Sub. H.B. 599 of the 123rd 4,547
General Assembly, with the new language of neither of the acts 4,548
shown in capital letters. This is in recognition of the 4,549
principle stated in division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised 4,550
100
Code that such amendments are to be harmonized where not 4,551
substantively irreconcilable and constitutes a legislative 4,552
finding that such is the resulting version on January 1, 2002. 4,553
Section 12. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency 4,555
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public 4,556
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is that 4,557
the compensation matters covered by this act require immediate 4,558
resolution. Therefore, this act shall go into immediate effect. 4,559
