Part I · General Provisions

Rule 47. Effective Date

Amended July 1, 2025 (current)

(A) Original Rules The Ohio Rules of Juvenile Procedure originally took effect July 1, 1972, pursuant to Article IV, Section 5 of the Ohio Constitution. Some rules have been amended in succeeding years, again pursuant to the Constitution.

(B) Date of amendments Amendments to these rules filed hereafter by the Supreme Court with the General Assembly pursuant to Article IV, Section 5 of the Ohio Constitution, and not thereafter the subject of a concurrent resolution of disapproval, shall take effect on the following first day of July. They shall govern all proceedings in actions brought after they take effect and also all further proceedings in actions then pending, except to the extent that their application in a particular action pending when the amendments take effect would not be feasible or would work injustice, in which event the former procedure applies.
