deposited in a state or national bank, or a domestic savings and 4,489
loan association, as defined in section 1151.01 of the Revised 4,490
Code, that is selected by the clerk. Any interest received upon 4,491
the deposits shall be paid into the city treasury, except that, 4,492
in a county-operated municipal court, the interest shall be paid 4,493
into the treasury of the county in which the court is located. 4,494
On the first Monday in January of each year, the clerk 4,496
shall make a list of the titles of all cases in the court that 4,497
were finally determined more than one year past in which there 4,498
remains unclaimed in the possession of the clerk any funds, or 4,499
any part of a deposit for security of costs not consumed by the 4,500
costs in the case. The clerk shall give notice of the moneys to 4,501
the parties who are entitled to the moneys or to their attorneys 4,502
of record. All the moneys remaining unclaimed on the first day 4,503
of April of each year shall be paid by the clerk to the city 4,504
treasurer, except that, in a county-operated municipal court, the 4,505
moneys shall be paid to the treasurer of the county in which the 4,506
court is located. The treasurer shall pay any part of the moneys 4,508
at any time to the person who has the right to the moneys upon 4,509
proper certification of the clerk.
(H) Deputy clerks may be appointed by the clerk and shall 4,511
receive the compensation, payable in semimonthly installments out 4,512
of the city treasury, that the clerk may prescribe, except that 4,513
99
the compensation of any deputy clerk of a county-operated 4,514
municipal court shall be paid out of the treasury of the county 4,515
in which the court is located. Each deputy clerk shall take an 4,516
oath of office before entering upon the duties of the deputy 4,517
clerk's office and, when so qualified, may perform the duties 4,518
appertaining to the office of the clerk. The clerk may require 4,519
any of the deputy clerks to give bond of not less than three 4,520
thousand dollars, conditioned for the faithful performance of the 4,521
deputy clerk's duties.
(I) For the purposes of this section, whenever the 4,523
population of the territory of a municipal court falls below one 4,524
hundred thousand but not below ninety thousand, and the 4,525
population of the territory prior to the most recent regular 4,526
federal census exceeded one hundred thousand, the legislative 4,527
authority of the municipal corporation may declare, by 4,528
resolution, that the territory shall be considered to have a 4,529
population of at least one hundred thousand. 4,530
(J) The clerk or a deputy clerk shall be in attendance at 4,532
all sessions of the municipal court, although not necessarily in 4,533
the courtroom, and may administer oaths to witnesses and jurors 4,534
and receive verdicts. 4,535
Section 9. That the existing version of section 1901.31 of 4,537
the Revised Code that is scheduled to take effect January 1, 4,538
2002, is hereby repealed.
Section 10. Sections 8 and 9 of this act shall take effect 4,540
January 1, 2002. 4,541
Section 11. Section 1901.31 of the Revised Code is 4,543
presented in Section 8 of this act as a composite of the section 4,545
as amended by both Sub. H.B. 559 and Sub. H.B. 599 of the 123rd 4,546
General Assembly, with the new language of neither of the acts 4,547
shown in capital letters. This is in recognition of the 4,548
principle stated in division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised 4,549
Code that such amendments are to be harmonized where not 4,550
substantively irreconcilable and constitutes a legislative 4,551
100
finding that such is the resulting version on January 1, 2002. 4,552
Section 12. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency 4,554
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public 4,555
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is that 4,556
the compensation matters covered by this act require immediate 4,557
resolution. Therefore, this act shall go into immediate effect. 4,558
