HB 548 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Prohibit certain sales types in real property foreclosure sales

This bill amends state laws to allow county officials, such as sheriffs and clerks, to accept electronic payments like credit and debit cards for various county expenses, including fines and fees. The legislation requires local boards of county commissioners to adopt resolutions specifying which officials and fees can accept these payments, along with rules for any convenience fees and penalties for failed transactions. To implement this system, counties must solicit proposals from financial institutions and processors, with the county treasurer acting as an administrative agent to manage the process unless they decline the role. Ultimately, the bill aims to modernize how individuals pay debts to county offices by expanding the accepted methods beyond cash and checks.
