❌ SB135
Regards real property foreclosures and estate sales
Summary
This bill amends various sections of the Ohio Revised Code related to real property foreclosures and estate sales, detailing the distribution of sale proceeds, the roles of private selling officers, and the procedures for public auctions. It establishes requirements for appraisals, sale notifications, and the handling of unsold properties, including provisions for online auctions and remote bidding. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of the sheriff and private selling officers in conducting these sales.
Rationale
The bill introduces additional regulations and procedures for property sales and foreclosures, which may conflict with Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and free market operations. However, it does not significantly infringe on individual rights, leading to a mixed alignment with the Libertarian Party and a somewhat clearer alignment with the Libertarian Party of Ohio's focus on property rights and local governance.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government regulation of property sales
- Potential for bureaucratic inefficiencies
- Restrictions on private property transactions
