Ohio House Bans Village Of Brice From Collecting High Traffic Fines

The Ohio House has approved legislation aimed at stopping the central Ohio village of Brice from collecting extraordinarily large fines for traffic-related violations. The measure requires municipal or county courts to collect fines and adjudicate tickets, not mayor's courts. The one-person police department in Brice in Franklin County has been using a civil violation system to aggressively ticket motorists after the Legislature in 2013 banned mayor's courts for villages of fewer than 200 people.
