Modify jurisdiction of the Erie County prosecuting attorney
Refer to Committee
Summary
The proposal requires the Erie County prosecuting attorney to prosecute all state law violations that occur in the county’s unincorporated areas, except for offenses in the townships of Florence, Huron, Perkins, and Vermilion. It also clarifies how other Ohio counties may assign prosecution duties to their county attorneys or municipal lawyers and provides modest extra pay for those taking on the added work.
