court shall return the permit or license when the child457
satisfactorily completes the program.458

       (C) The court may establish a victim-offender mediation459
program in which victims and their offenders meet to discuss the460
offense and suggest possible restitution. If the court obtains461
the assent of the victim of the delinquent act committed by the462
child, the court may require the child to participate in the463
program.464

       (D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for465
committing an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult466
and if the child caused, attempted to cause, threatened to cause,467
or created a risk of physical harm to the victim of the act, the468
court, prior to issuing an order of disposition under this469
section, shall order the preparation of a victim impact statement470
by the probation department of the county in which the victim of471
the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a472
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county,473
a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity. The court474
shall consider the victim impact statement in determining the475
order of disposition to issue for the child.476

       (2) Each victim impact statement shall identify the victim477
of the act for which the child was adjudicated a delinquent child,478
itemize any economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of479
the act, identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a480
result of the act and the seriousness and permanence of the481
injury, identify any change in the victim's personal welfare or482
familial relationships as a result of the act and any483
psychological impact experienced by the victim or the victim's484
family as a result of the act, and contain any other information485
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the court486
requires.487

       (3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and488
is not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of489
the statement to the department of youth services if the490
delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the491
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's492
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact493
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to494
this section shall be kept confidential and is not a public495
record. If an officer is preparing pursuant to section 2947.06 or496
2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 a presentence497
investigation report pertaining to a person, the court shall make498
available to the officer, for use in preparing the report, a copy499
of any victim impact statement regarding that person. The copies500
of a victim impact statement that are made available to the501
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's502
counsel and the prosecuting attorney pursuant to this division503
shall be returned to the court by the person to whom they were504
made available immediately following the imposition of an order of505
disposition for the child under this chapter.506

       The copy of a victim impact statement that is made available507
pursuant to this division to an officer preparing a criminal508
presentence investigation report shall be returned to the court by509
the officer immediately following its use in preparing the report.510

       (4) The department of youth services shall work with local511
probation departments and victim assistance programs to develop a512
standard victim impact statement.513

       (E) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a514
chronic truant or an habitual truant who previously has been515
adjudicated an unruly child for being an habitual truant and the516
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having517
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at518
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in519
addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section,520
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having521
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as522
an unruly or delinquent child for being an habitual or chronic523
truant may result in a criminal charge against the parent,524
guardian, or other person having care of the child for a violation525
of division (C) of section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the526
Revised Code.527

       (F)(1) During the period of a delinquent child's community528
control granted under this section, authorized probation officers529

probation officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the538
delinquent child is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not539
complying with the conditions of the delinquent child's community540
control. The court that places a delinquent child on community541
control under this section shall provide the delinquent child with542
a written notice that informs the delinquent child that authorized543
probation officers who are engaged within the scope of their544
supervisory duties or responsibilities may conduct those types of545
searches during the period of community control if they have546
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is not547
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the548
conditions of the delinquent child's community control. The court549
also shall provide the written notice described in division (E)(2)550
of this section to each parent, guardian, or custodian of the551
delinquent child who is described in that division.552

       (2) The court that places a child on community control under553
this section shall provide the child's parent, guardian, or other554
custodian with a written notice that informs them that authorized555
probation officers may conduct searches pursuant to division556

person, organization, or entity to provide that treatment.572

court shall do either of the following with respect to each733
alleged factual inaccuracy:734

       (a) Make a finding as to the allegation;735

       (C) A court's decision as to the content of a summary under739
division (B)(3) of this section or as to the withholding of740

section shall be considered to be within the discretion of the742

neither of those decisions shall be the basis for a reversal of744
the sentence imposed.745

described in division (B) of section 2151.14, division (C)(3) of787
section 2152.18, division (D)(3) of section 2152.19, and division788

2152.71, and 2951.03 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.798

       Section 3. Section 2152.18 of the Revised Code, as presented799
in this act, includes matter that was amended into former section800
2151.355 of the Revised Code by Am. Sub. S.B. 181 of the 123rd801
General Assembly. Paragraphs of former section 2151.355 of the802
Revised Code containing S.B. 181 amendments were transferred to803
section 2152.18 of the Revised Code by S.B. 179 of the 123rd804
General Assembly as part of its general revision of the juvenile805
sentencing laws. The General Assembly, applying the principle806
stated in division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised Code that807
amendments are to be harmonized if reasonably capable of808
simultaneous operation, finds that the version of section 2152.18809
of the Revised Code presented in this act is the resulting version810
of the section in effect prior to the effective date of the811
section as presented in this act.812
