AI Summary
This bill makes several technical amendments to various sections of Ohio's Revised Code related to court procedures and operations. The bill primarily updates and streamlines references to court rules, replacing specific statutory citations with broader references to the Rules of Superintendence for the Courts of Ohio and the Rules of Civil Procedure. Key changes include modifications to how municipal court judges can sit in different locations, how court clerks handle records and finances, and technical updates to provisions related to depositions, grand juries, and testimonial privileges. The bill also repeals several existing sections of the Revised Code that are now deemed unnecessary or have been replaced by more general procedural rules. The amendments appear to be primarily administrative in nature, aimed at simplifying and modernizing court-related statutory language while maintaining the essential legal frameworks for court operations.
