HB 710 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Create Attorney General's special counsel billing database

This bill requires the Attorney General's office to create a public database that tracks the billing hours for special counsel appointed to handle specific cases. Under the new rules, special counsel must record every hour worked as either billable or pro bono and submit detailed invoices through the office's existing system. The Attorney General will then enter this data into a publicly accessible online database that lists case names, attorney names, total hours worked, and the status of submitted invoices. Additionally, the bill establishes a role for problem resolution officers to review complaints regarding collections when taxpayers cannot get satisfactory answers from assigned staff.
