Committee adopts two clerical amendments to House Bill 446
Summary
The House Judiciary Committee accepted two amendments to HB 446: AM_1222, clarifying funeral‑expense reimbursement from estates, and AM_1237, fixing a statutory cross‑reference. Both were accepted without objection during the bill's fourth hearing.
Chairman Thomas called House Bill 446 for its fourth hearing and Representative Matthews moved two amendments. Matthews said AM_1222 clarifies that funeral expenses are paid and reimbursed from the decedent’s estate regardless of whether a reimbursement claim was filed and noted support from the Ohio Judicial Conference, the Probate Judges Association, and the Ohio State Bar Association.
Matthews described AM_1237 as a clerical correction fixing a cross‑reference (changing 5518.03 to 5818.03). Both amendments were read as being available on committee iPads and were accepted without objection.
The committee proceeded as a full committee with a quorum present and moved on to other agenda items after accepting the amendments.
