the best of the state public defender's knowledge and information;	799
a written statement whether the fees, costs, and expenses are for	800
all legal services to be rendered in connection with that defense,	801
are only for legal services rendered to the date of the request	802
and additional legal services likely will have to be provided in	803
connection with that defense, or are for the final legal services	804
rendered in connection with that defense; a written statement	805
indicating whether the private legal counsel previously submitted	806
a request for an award under division (E)(2) of this section in	807

(ii) Upon receipt of a request for an award of legal fees,	816
court costs, and expenses and the requisite supportive	817
documentation described in division (E)(2)(a)(i) of this section,	818
the attorney general shall review the request and documentation;	819
determine whether any of the limitations specified in division	820

applying the limitations, prepare a document awarding legal fees,	823
court costs, or expenses to the private legal counsel. The	824
document shall name the private legal counsel as the recipient of	825
the award; specify the total amount of the award as determined by	826
the attorney general; itemize the portions of the award that	827
represent legal fees, court costs, and expenses; specify any	828

state public defender's appropriations, to the extent there is a	839
sufficient available balance in those appropriations. If the	840
state public defender does not have a sufficient available balance	841
in the state public defender's appropriations to pay the entire	842
award of legal fees, court costs, or expenses, the director shall	843
make application for a transfer of appropriations out of the	844
emergency purposes account or any other appropriation for	845
emergencies or contingencies in an amount equal to the portion of	846
the award that exceeds the sufficient available balance in the	847
state public defender's appropriations. A transfer of	848
appropriations out of the emergency purposes account or any other	849
appropriation for emergencies or contingencies shall be authorized	850
if there are sufficient moneys greater than the sum total of then	851
pending emergency purposes account requests, or requests for	852
releases from the other appropriation. If a transfer of	853
appropriations out of the emergency purposes account or other	854
appropriation for emergencies or contingencies is made to pay an	855
amount equal to the portion of the award that exceeds the	856
sufficient available balance in the state public defender's	857
appropriations, the director shall cause the payment to be made to	858
the private legal counsel. If sufficient moneys do not exist in	859
the emergency purposes account or other appropriation for	860
emergencies or contingencies to pay an amount equal to the portion	861
of the award that exceeds the sufficient available balance in the	862
state public defender's appropriations, the private legal counsel	863
shall request the general assembly to make an appropriation	864
sufficient to pay an amount equal to the portion of the award that	865
exceeds the sufficient available balance in the state public	866
defender's appropriations, and no payment in that amount shall be	867

counsel shall make the request during the current biennium and	869

is made.	871

defender commission, the state public defender, an assistant state	889
public defender, an employee, or an attorney in a specified civil	890
action or proceeding.	891

(c) If, pursuant to division (E)(2)(a) of this section, the	892

counsel in writing of the denial and of the limitation applied.	897

application of a limitation specified in division (E)(2)(b) of	902

action against the attorney general in the court of claims to	904
prove the private legal counsel's entitlement to the award sought,	905
to prove that division (E)(2)(b) of this section does not prohibit	906

the amount of the award sought. A civil action under division	908
(E)(2)(d) of this section shall be commenced no later than two	909
years after receipt of a denial of award notification or, if the	910

of a limitation specified in division (E)(2)(b) of this section,	913
no later than two years after the refusal. Any judgment of the	914
court of claims in favor of the private legal counsel shall be	915

the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a	3705
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county,	3706
a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity. The court	3707
shall consider the victim impact statement in determining the	3708
order of disposition to issue for the child.	3709

(2) Each victim impact statement shall identify the victim	3710
of the act for which the child was adjudicated a delinquent child,	3711
itemize any economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of	3712
the act, identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a	3713
result of the act and the seriousness and permanence of the	3714
injury, identify any change in the victim's personal welfare or	3715
familial relationships as a result of the act and any	3716
psychological impact experienced by the victim or the victim's	3717
family as a result of the act, and contain any other information	3718
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the court	3719
requires.	3720

(3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and	3721
is not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of	3722
the statement to the department of youth services if the	3723
delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the	3724
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's	3725
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact	3726
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to	3727
this section shall be kept confidential and is not a public	3728
record. If an officer is preparing pursuant to section 2947.06 or	3729
2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 a presentence	3730
investigation report pertaining to a person, the court shall make	3731
available to the officer, for use in preparing the report, a copy	3732
of any victim impact statement regarding that person. The copies	3733
of a victim impact statement that are made available to the	3734
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's	3735
counsel and the prosecuting attorney pursuant to this division	3736
shall be returned to the court by the person to whom they were	3737
made available immediately following the imposition of an order of	3738
disposition for the child under this chapter.	3739

The copy of a victim impact statement that is made available	3740
pursuant to this division to an officer preparing a criminal	3741
presentence investigation report shall be returned to the court by	3742
the officer immediately following its use in preparing the report.	3743

(4) The department of youth services shall work with local	3744
probation departments and victim assistance programs to develop a	3745
standard victim impact statement.	3746

(E) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a	3747
chronic truant or an habitual truant who previously has been	3748
adjudicated an unruly child for being an habitual truant and the	3749
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having	3750
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at	3751
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in	3752
addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section,	3753
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having	3754
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as	3755
an unruly or delinquent child for being an habitual or chronic	3756
truant may result in a criminal charge against the parent,	3757
guardian, or other person having care of the child for a violation	3758
of division (C) of section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the	3759
Revised Code.	3760

(F)(1) During the period of a delinquent child's community	3761
control granted under this section, authorized probation officers	3762
who are engaged within the scope of their supervisory duties or	3763
responsibilities may search, with or without a warrant, the person	3764
of the delinquent child, the place of residence of the delinquent	3765
child, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or intangible	3766
personal property, or other real property in which the delinquent	3767
child has a right, title, or interest or for which the delinquent	3768
child has the express or implied permission of a person with a	3769
right, title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the	3770
probation officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the	3771
delinquent child is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not	3772
complying with the conditions of the delinquent child's community	3773
control. The court that places a delinquent child on community	3774
control under this section shall provide the delinquent child with	3775
a written notice that informs the delinquent child that authorized	3776
probation officers who are engaged within the scope of their	3777
supervisory duties or responsibilities may conduct those types of	3778
searches during the period of community control if they have	3779
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is not	3780
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the	3781
conditions of the delinquent child's community control. The court	3782
also shall provide the written notice described in division (E)(2)	3783
of this section to each parent, guardian, or custodian of the	3784
delinquent child who is described in that division.	3785

(2) The court that places a child on community control under	3786
this section shall provide the child's parent, guardian, or other	3787
custodian with a written notice that informs them that authorized	3788
probation officers may conduct searches pursuant to division	3789
(E)(1) of this section. The notice shall specifically state that	3790
a permissible search might extend to a motor vehicle, another item	3791
of tangible or intangible personal property, or a place of	3792
residence or other real property in which a notified parent,	3793
guardian, or custodian has a right, title, or interest and that	3794
the parent, guardian, or custodian expressly or impliedly permits	3795
the child to use, occupy, or possess.	3796

(G) If a juvenile court commits a delinquent child to the	3797
custody of any person, organization, or entity pursuant to this	3798
section and if the delinquent act for which the child is so	3799
committed is a sexually oriented offense, the court in the order	3800
of disposition shall do one of the following:	3801

(1) Require that the child be provided treatment as	3802
described in division (A)(2) of section 5139.13 of the Revised	3803
Code;	3804

(2) Inform the person, organization, or entity that it is	3805
the preferred course of action in this state that the child be	3806
provided treatment as described in division (A)(2) of section	3807
5139.13 of the Revised Code and encourage the person,	3808
organization, or entity to provide that treatment.	3809

Sec. 2152.20.  (A) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent	3810

the child's delinquent act or, if the victim is deceased, to a	3849
survivor of the victim in an amount based upon the victim's	3850
economic loss caused by or related to the delinquent act.	3851
Restitution required under this division shall be made directly to	3852
the victim in open court or to the probation department that	3853
serves the jurisdiction or the clerk of courts on behalf of the	3854
victim. The restitution may include reimbursement to third	3855
parties, other than the delinquent child's insurer, for amounts	3856
paid to the victim or to any survivor of the victim for economic	3857
loss resulting from the delinquent act. If reimbursement to a	3858
third party is required, the reimbursement shall be made to any	3859
governmental agency to repay any amounts the agency paid to the	3860
victim or any survivor of the victim before any reimbursement is	3861
made to any other person.	3862

Restitution required under this division may be in the form	3863
of a cash reimbursement paid in a lump sum or in installments, the	3864
performance of repair work to restore any damaged property to its	3865
original condition, the performance of a reasonable amount of	3866
labor for the victim or survivor of the victim, the performance of	3867
community service work, any other form of restitution devised by	3868
the court, or any combination of the previously described forms of	3869
restitution.	3870

The court may base the restitution order under this division	3871
on an amount recommended by the victim or survivor of the victim,	3872
the delinquent child, a presentence investigation report,	3873
estimates or receipts indicating the cost of repairing or	3874
replacing property, and any other information. If the amount of	3875
the restitution is disputed by the victim or survivor or by the	3876
delinquent child, the court shall hold a hearing on the	3877
restitution. The court shall determine, or order the	3878
determination of, the amount of restitution to be paid by the	3879
delinquent child. All restitution payments shall be credited	3880
against any recovery of economic loss in a civil action brought by	3881
or on behalf of the victim against the delinquent child or the	3882
delinquent child's parent, guardian, or other custodian.	3883

The court may order that the delinquent child pay a	3884
surcharge, in an amount not exceeding five per cent of the amount	3885
of restitution otherwise ordered under this division, to the	3886
entity responsible for collecting and processing the restitution	3887
payments.	3888

The victim or the survivor of the victim may request that the	3889
prosecuting authority file a motion, or the delinquent child may	3890
file a motion, for modification of the payment terms of any	3891
restitution ordered under this division, based on a substantial	3892
change in the delinquent child's ability to pay. If the court	3893
grants the motion, it may modify the payment terms as it	3894
determines appropriate.	3895

(4) Require the child to reimburse any or all of the costs	3896
incurred for services or sanctions provided or imposed, including,	3897
but not limited to, the following:	3898

(a) All or part of the costs of implementing any community	3899
control imposed as a disposition under section 2152.19 of the	3900
Revised Code, including a supervision fee;	3901

(b) All or part of the costs of confinement in a residential	3902
facility described in section 2152.19 of the Revised Code or in a	3903
department of youth services institution, including, but not	3904
limited to, a per diem fee for room and board, the costs of	3905
medical and dental treatment provided, and the costs of repairing	3906
property the delinquent child damaged while so confined. The	3907
amount of reimbursement ordered for a child under this division	3908
shall not exceed the total amount of reimbursement the child is	3909
able to pay as determined at a hearing and shall not exceed the	3910
actual cost of the confinement. The court may collect any	3911
reimbursement ordered under this division. If the court does not	3912
order reimbursement under this division, confinement costs may be	3913
assessed pursuant to a repayment policy adopted under section	3914
2929.37 of the Revised Code and division (D) of section 307.93,	3915
division (A) of section 341.19, division (C) of section 341.23 or	3916
753.16, or division (B) of section 341.14, 753.02, 753.04,	3917
2301.56, or 2947.19 of the Revised Code.	3918

(B)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for	3919
violating section 2923.32 of the Revised Code, the court shall	3920
enter an order of criminal forfeiture against the child in	3921
accordance with divisions (B)(3), (4), (5), and (6) and (C) to (F)	3922
of section 2923.32 of the Revised Code.	3923

(2) Sections 2925.41 to 2925.45 of the Revised Code apply to	3924
children who are adjudicated or could be adjudicated by a juvenile	3925
court to be delinquent children for an act that, if committed by	3926
an adult, would be a felony drug abuse offense. Subject to	3927
division (B) of section 2925.42 and division (E) of section	3928
2925.43 of the Revised Code, a delinquent child of that nature	3929
loses any right to the possession of, and forfeits to the state	3930
any right, title, and interest that the delinquent child may have	3931
in, property as defined in section 2925.41 of the Revised Code and	3932
further described in section 2925.42 or 2925.43 of the Revised	3933
Code.	3934

(3) Sections 2923.44 to 2923.47 of the Revised Code apply to	3935
children who are adjudicated or could be adjudicated by a juvenile	3936
court to be delinquent children for an act in violation of section	3937
2923.42 of the Revised Code. Subject to division (B) of section	3938
2923.44 and division (E) of section 2923.45 of the Revised Code, a	3939
delinquent child of that nature loses any right to the possession	3940
of, and forfeits to the state any right, title, and interest that	3941
the delinquent child may have in, property as defined in section	3942
2923.41 of the Revised Code and further described in section	3943
2923.44 or 2923.45 of the Revised Code.	3944

(C) The court may hold a hearing if necessary to determine	3945
whether a child is able to pay a sanction under this section.	3946

(D) If a child who is adjudicated a delinquent child is	3947
indigent, the court shall consider imposing a term of community	3948
service under division (A) of section 2152.19 of the Revised Code	3949
in lieu of imposing a financial sanction under this section. If a	3950
child who is adjudicated a delinquent child is not indigent, the	3951
court may impose a term of community service under that division	3952
in lieu of, or in addition to, imposing a financial sanction under	3953
this section. The court may order community service for an act	3954
that if committed by an adult would be a minor misdemeanor.	3955

If a child fails to pay a financial sanction imposed under	3956
this section, the court may impose a term of community service in	3957
lieu of the sanction.	3958

(E) The clerk of the court, or another person authorized by	3959
law or by the court to collect a financial sanction imposed under	3960
this section, may do any of the following:	3961

private vendors for the collection of the amounts due under the	3963
financial sanction, which amounts may include interest from the	3964

(2) Permit payment of all, or any portion of, the financial	3966
sanction in installments, by credit or debit card, by another type	3967
of electronic transfer, or by any other reasonable method, within	3968
any period of time, and on any terms that the court considers	3969
just, except that the maximum time permitted for payment shall not	3970
exceed five years. The clerk may pay any fee associated with	3971
processing an electronic transfer out of public money and may	3972
charge the fee to the delinquent child.	3973

(3) To defray administrative costs, charge a reasonable fee	3974
to a child who elects a payment plan rather than a lump sum	3975
payment of a financial sanction.	3976

a course of medical treatment for the venereal disease. If the	6035
offender does not seek the required medical treatment, the court	6036
may revoke the offender's probationcommunity control and order	6037
the offender to undergo medical treatment during the period of the	6038
offender's incarceration and to pay the cost of that treatment.	6039

section 2907.02, 2907.03, 2907.04, 2907.05, 2907.12, 2907.24,	6043
2907.241, or 2907.25 of the Revised Code or with a violation of a	6044
municipal ordinance that is substantially equivalent to that	6045
division or any of those sections, the court, upon the request of	6046
the prosecutor in the case, upon the request of the victim, or	6047
upon the request of any other person whom the court reasonably	6048
believes had contact with the accused in circumstances related to	6049
the violation that could have resulted in the transmission to that	6050
person of a virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome,	6051
shall cause the accused to submit to one or more tests designated	6052
by the director of health under section 3701.241 of the Revised	6053
Code to determine if the accused is a carrier of a virus that	6054
causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The court, upon the	6055
request of the prosecutor in the case, upon the request of the	6056
victim with the agreement of the prosecutor, or upon the request	6057
of any other person with the agreement of the prosecutor, may	6058
cause an accused who is charged with a violation of any other	6059
section of the Revised Code or with a violation of any other	6060
municipal ordinance to submit to one or more tests so designated	6061
by the director of health if the circumstances of the violation	6062
indicate probable cause to believe that the accused, if the	6063
accused is infected with the virus that causes acquired	6064
immunodeficiency syndrome, might have transmitted the virus to any	6065
of the following persons in committing the violation:	6066

(i) In relation to a request made by the prosecuting	6067
attorney, to the victim or to any other person;	6068

(ii) In relation to a request made by the victim, to the	6069
victim making the request;	6070

and the court shall inform the accused of the result. The court	6075
shall inform the victim that the test was performed and that the	6076
victim has a right to receive the results on request. If the test	6077
was performed upon the request of a person other than the	6078
prosecutor in the case and other than the victim, the court shall	6079
inform the person who made the request that the test was performed	6080
and that the person has a right to receive the results upon	6081
request. Additionally, regardless of who made the request that	6082
was the basis of the test being performed, if the court reasonably	6083
believes that, in circumstances related to the violation, a person	6084
other than the victim had contact with the accused that could have	6085
resulted in the transmission of the virus to that person, the	6086
court may inform that person that the test was performed and that	6087
the person has a right to receive the results of the test on	6088
request. If the accused tests positive for a virus that causes	6089
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, the test results shall be	6090
reported to the department of health in accordance with section	6091
3701.24 of the Revised Code and to the sheriff, head of the state	6092
correctional institution, or other person in charge of any jail or	6093
prison in which the accused is incarcerated. If the accused tests	6094
positive for a virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency	6095
syndrome and the accused was charged with, and was convicted of or	6096
pleaded guilty to, a violation of section 2907.24, 2907.241, or	6097
2907.25 of the Revised Code or a violation of a municipal	6098
ordinance that is substantially equivalent to any of those	6099
sections, the test results also shall be reported to the law	6100
enforcement agency that arrested the accused, and the law	6101
enforcement agency may use the test results as the basis for any	6102
future charge of a violation of division (B) of any of those	6103
sections or a violation of a municipal ordinance that is	6104
substantially equivalent to division (B) of any of those sections.	6105
No other disclosure of the test results or the fact that a test	6106
was performed shall be made, other than as evidence in a grand	6107
jury proceeding or as evidence in a judicial proceeding in	6108
accordance with the Rules of Evidence. If the test result is	6109
negative, and the charge has not been dismissed or if the accused	6110
has been convicted of the charge or a different offense arising	6111
out of the same circumstances as the offense charged, the court	6112
shall order that the test be repeated not earlier than three	6113
months nor later than six months after the original test.	6114

(2) If an accused who is free on bond refuses to submit to a	6115
test ordered by the court pursuant to division (B)(1) of this	6116
section, the court may order that the accused's bond be revoked	6117
and that the accused be incarcerated until the test is performed.	6118
If an accused who is incarcerated refuses to submit to a test	6119
ordered by the court pursuant to division (B)(1) of this section,	6120
the court shall order the person in charge of the jail or prison	6121
in which the accused is incarcerated to take any action necessary	6122
to facilitate the performance of the test, including the forcible	6123
restraint of the accused for the purpose of drawing blood to be	6124
used in the test.	6125

an employee of a state agency or of a political subdivision of the	6127
state is immune from liability in a civil action to recover	6128
damages for injury, death, or loss to person or property allegedly	6129
caused by any act or omission in connection with the performance	6130
of the duties required under division (B)(2) of this section	6131
unless the acts or omissions are with malicious purpose, in bad	6132
faith, or in a wanton or reckless manner.	6133

is applicable to the offender who is serving a prison term, and	7873
require that the results of the drug test administered under any	7874
of those sections indicate that the offender did not ingest or was	7875
not injected with a drug of abuse.	7876

(4) If the offender is being sentenced for a sexually	7877
violent offense that the offender committed on or after January 1,	7878
1997, and the offender also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	7879
sexually violent predator specification that was included in the	7880
indictment, count in the indictment, or information charging the	7881
sexually violent offense, if the offender is being sentenced for a	7882
sexually oriented offense that the offender committed on or after	7883
January 1, 1997, and the court imposing the sentence has	7884
determined pursuant to division (B) of section 2950.09 of the	7885
Revised Code that the offender is a sexual predator, or if the	7886
offender is being sentenced for an aggravated sexually oriented	7887
offense as defined in section 2950.01 of the Revised Code that the	7888
offender committed on or after the effective date of this	7889

sentence a statement that the offender has been adjudicated as	7891
being a sexual predator or has been convicted of or pleaded guilty	7892
to an aggravated sexually oriented offense, whichever is	7893
applicable, and shall comply with the requirements of section	7894
2950.03 of the Revised Code. Additionally, in the circumstances	7895
described in division (G) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code,	7896
the court shall impose sentence on the offender as described in	7897
that division.	7898

(5) If the sentencing court determines at the sentencing	7899
hearing that a community control sanction should be imposed and	7900
the court is not prohibited from imposing a community control	7901
sanction, the court shall impose a community control sanction. The	7902
court shall notify the offender that, if the conditions of the	7903
sanction are violated, if the offender commits a violation of any	7904
law, or if the offender leaves this state without the permission	7905
of the court or the offender's probation officer, the court may	7906
impose a longer time under the same sanction, may impose a more	7907
restrictive sanction, or may impose a prison term on the offender	7908
and shall indicate the specific prison term that may be imposed as	7909
a sanction for the violation, as selected by the court from the	7910
range of prison terms for the offense pursuant to section 2929.14	7911
of the Revised Code.	7912

(6) Before imposing a financial sanction under section	7913
2929.18 of the Revised Code or a fine under section 2929.25	7914
2929.32 of the Revised Code, the court shall consider the	7915
offender's present and future ability to pay the amount of the	7916
sanction or fine.	7917

(7) If the sentencing court sentences the offender to a	7918
sanction of confinement pursuant to section 2929.14 or 2929.16 of	7919
the Revised Code that is to be served in a local detention	7920
facility, as defined in section 2929.352929.36 of the Revised	7921
Code, and if the local detention facility is covered by a policy	7922
adopted pursuant to section 307.93, 341.14, 341.19, 341.21,	7923
341.23, 753.02, 753.04, 753.16, 2301.56, or 2947.19 of the Revised	7924
Code and section 2929.37 of the Revised Code, both of the	7925
following apply:	7926

(a) The court shall specify both of the following as part of	7927
the sentence:	7928

(i) If the offender is presented with an itemized bill	7929
pursuant to section 2929.37 of the Revised Code for payment of the	7930
costs of confinement, the offender is required to pay the bill in	7931
accordance with that section.	7932

(ii) If the offender does not dispute the bill described in	7933
division (B)(7)(a)(i) of this section and does not pay the bill by	7934
the times specified in section 2929.37 of the Revised Code, the	7935
clerk of the court may issue a certificate of judgment against the	7936
offender as described in that section.	7937

(b) The sentence automatically includes any certificate of	7938
judgment issued as described in division (B)(7)(a)(ii) of this	7939
section.	7940

(C)(1) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth	7941
degree felony OVI offense under division (G)(1) of section 2929.13	7942
of the Revised Code, the court shall impose the mandatory term of	7943
local incarceration in accordance with that division, shall impose	7944
a mandatory fine in accordance with division (B)(3) of section	7945
2929.18 of the Revised Code, and, in addition, may impose	7946
additional sanctions as specified in sections 2929.15, 2929.16,	7947
2929.17, and 2929.18 of the Revised Code. The court shall not	7948
impose a prison term on the offender.	7949

(2) If the offender is being sentenced for a third or fourth	7950
degree felony OVI offense under division (G)(2) of section 2929.13	7951
of the Revised Code, the court shall impose the mandatory prison	7952
term in accordance with that division, shall impose a mandatory	7953
fine in accordance with division (B)(3) of section 2929.18 of the	7954
Revised Code, and, in addition, may impose an additional prison	7955
term as specified in section 2929.14 of the Revised Code. The	7956
court shall not impose any community control sanction on the	7957
offender.	7958

(D) The sentencing court, pursuant to division (K) of	7959
section 2929.14 of the Revised Code, may recommend placement of	7960
the offender in a program of shock incarceration under section	7961
5120.031 of the Revised Code or an intensive program prison under	7962
section 5120.032 of the Revised Code, disapprove placement of the	7963
offender in a program or prison of that nature, or make no	7964
recommendation. If the court recommends or disapproves placement,	7965
it shall make a finding that gives its reasons for its	7966
recommendation or disapproval.	7967

Sec. 2929.21.  (A) A court that sentences an offender for a	7968
misdemeanor or minor misdemeanor shall be guided by the overriding	7969
purposes of misdemeanor sentencing. The overriding purposes of	7970
misdemeanor sentencing are to protect the public from future crime	7971
by the offender and others and to punish the offender. To achieve	7972
those purposes, the sentencing court shall consider the impact of	7973
the offense upon the victim and the need for changing the	7974
offender's behavior, rehabilitating the offender, and making	7975
restitution to the victim of the offense, the public, or the	7976
victim and the public.	7977

(B) A sentence imposed for a misdemeanor or minor misdemeanor	7978
shall be reasonably calculated to achieve the two overriding	7979
purposes of misdemeanor sentencing set forth in division (A) of	7980
this section, commensurate with and not demeaning to the	7981
seriousness of the offender's conduct and its impact upon the	7982
victim, and consistent with sentences imposed for similar offenses	7983
committed by similar offenders.	7984

(C) A court that imposes a sentence upon an offender for a	7985
misdemeanor or minor misdemeanor shall not base the sentence upon	7986
the race, ethnic background, gender, or religion of the offender.	7987

Sec. 2929.22.  (A) Unless a mandatory jail term is required	7988
to be imposed by division (G) of section 1547.99, division (B) of	7989
section 4510.14, division (G) of section 4511.19 of the Revised	7990
Code, or any other provision of the Revised Code a court that	7991
imposes a sentence under this chapter upon an offender for a	7992
misdemeanor or minor misdemeanor has discretion to determine the	7993
most effective way to achieve the purposes and principles of	7994
sentencing set forth in section 2929.21 of the Revised Code.	7995

Unless a specific sanction is required to be imposed or is	7996
precluded from being imposed by the section setting forth an	7997
offense or the penalty for an offense or by any provision of	7998
sections 2929.23 to 2929.28 of the Revised Code, a court that	7999
imposes a sentence upon an offender for a misdemeanor may impose	8000
on the offender any sanction or combination of sanctions under	8001
sections 2929.24 to 2929.28 of the Revised Code. The court shall	8002
not impose a sentence that imposes an unnecessary burden on local	8003
government resources.	8004

(B)(1) In determining the appropriate sentence for a	8005
misdemeanor, the court shall determine whether the victim of the	8006
offense was sixty-five years of age or older, permanently and	8007
totally disabled, or under eighteen years of age at the time of	8008
the commission of the offense and, to the extent applicable, shall	8009
proceed as follows:	8010

(a) If the court determines that the victim was sixty-five	8011
years of age or older, permanently and totally disabled, or under	8012
eighteen years of age at the time of the commission of the	8013
offense, regardless of whether the offender knew the age of the	8014
victim or knew of the victim's disability, and if the offense is a	8015
misdemeanor other than a minor misdemeanor, the court shall	8016
consider that fact in favor of imposing a jail term on the	8017
offender, but that fact shall not control the decision of the	8018
court.	8019

(b) If the court determines that the victim was sixty-five	8020
years of age or older or permanently and totally disabled at the	8021
time of the commission of the offense, regardless of whether the	8022
offender knew the age of the victim or knew of the victim's	8023
disability, the court shall consider that fact in favor of	8024
imposing a financial sanction of restitution on the offender under	8025
section 2929.28 of the Revised Code, but that fact shall not	8026
control the decision of the court.	8027

(2) In determining the appropriate sentence for a	8028
misdemeanor, in addition to complying with division (B)(1) of this	8029
section, the court shall consider all of the following factors:	8030

(a) The nature and circumstances of the offense or offenses;

8031

(b) Whether the circumstances regarding the offender and the	8032
offense or offenses indicate that the offender has a history of	8033
persistent criminal activity and that the offender's character and	8034
condition reveal a substantial risk that the offender will commit	8035
another offense;	8036

(c) Whether the circumstances regarding the offender and the	8037
offense or offenses indicate that the offender's history,	8038
character, and condition reveal a substantial risk that the	8039
offender will be a danger to others and that the offender's	8040
conduct has been characterized by a pattern of repetitive,	8041
compulsive, or aggressive behavior with heedless indifference to	8042
the consequences;	8043

(d) The criminal history and character of the offender in	8044
general, in addition to the circumstances described in divisions	8045
(B)(2)(b) and (c) of this section;	8046

(e) Whether the offender is likely to commit future crimes	8047
in general, in addition to the circumstances described in	8048
divisions (B)(2)(b) and (c) of this section.	8049

(3) In determining the appropriate sentence for a	8050
misdemeanor, in addition to complying with divisions (B)(1) and	8051
(2) of this section, the court may consider any other factors that	8052
are relevant to achieving the purposes and principles of	8053
sentencing set forth in section 2929.21 of the Revised Code.	8054

(C) Before imposing a jail term as a sentence for a	8055
misdemeanor, a court shall consider the appropriateness of	8056
imposing a community control sanction or a combination of	8057
community control sanctions under sections 2929.25, 2929.26,	8058
2929.27, and 2929.28 of the Revised Code. A court may impose the	8059
longest jail term authorized under section 2929.24 of the Revised	8060
Code only upon offenders who commit the worst forms of the offense	8061
or upon offenders whose conduct and response to prior sanctions	8062
for prior offenses demonstrate that the imposition of the longest	8063
jail term is necessary to deter the offender from committing a	8064
future crime.	8065

(D)(1) A sentencing court shall consider any relevant oral	8066
or written statement made by the victim, the defendant, the	8067
defense attorney, or the prosecuting authority regarding	8068
sentencing for a misdemeanor. This division does not create any	8069
rights to notice other than those rights authorized by Chapter	8070
2930. of the Revised Code.	8071

(2) At the time of sentencing for a misdemeanor or as soon	8072
as possible after sentencing, the court shall notify the victim of	8073
the offense of the victim's right to file an application for an	8074
award of reparations pursuant to sections 2743.51 to 2743.72 of	8075
the Revised Code.	8076

Sec. 2929.23.  (A) If an offender is being sentenced for a	8077
sexually oriented offense that is a misdemeanor committed on or	8078
after January 1, 1997, and if the judge imposing sentence for the	8079
sexually oriented offense determines pursuant to division (B) of	8080
section 2950.09 of the Revised Code that the offender is a sexual	8081
predator, the judge shall include in the offender's sentence a	8082
statement that the offender has been adjudicated a sexual	8083
predator, shall comply with the requirements of section 2950.03 of	8084
the Revised Code, and shall require the offender to submit to a	8085
DNA specimen collection procedure pursuant to section 2901.07 of	8086
the Revised Code.	8087

(B) Before imposing sentence on an offender who is being	8088
sentenced for a sexually oriented offense that is a misdemeanor	8089
committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall conduct a	8090
hearing in accordance with division (B) of section 2950.09 of the	8091
Revised Code to determine whether the offender is a sexual	8092
predator. Before imposing sentence on an offender who is being	8093
sentenced for a sexually oriented offense, the court also shall	8094
comply with division (E) of section 2950.09 of the Revised Code.	8095

(C) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually	8096
oriented offense that is a misdemeanor committed on or after	8097
January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a summary	8098
of the offender's duty to register pursuant to section 2950.04 of	8099
the Revised Code, the offender's duty to provide notice of an	8100
intent to reside in a county if applicable pursuant to division	8101
(G) of section 2950.04 of the Revised Code, the offender's duty to	8102
provide notice of a change in residence address and register the	8103
new residence address pursuant to section 2950.05 of the Revised	8104
Code, the offender's duty to periodically verify the offender's	8105
current residence address pursuant to section 2950.06 of the	8106
Revised Code, and the duration of the duties. The judge shall	8107
inform the offender, at the time of sentencing, of those duties	8108
and of their duration and, if required under division (A)(2) of	8109
section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, shall perform the duties	8110
specified in that section.	8111

Sec. 2929.24.  (A) Except as provided in section 2929.22 or	8112
2929.23 of the Revised Code and unless another term is required or	8113
authorized pursuant to law, if the sentencing court imposing a	8114
sentence upon an offender for a misdemeanor elects or is required	8115
to impose a jail term on the offender pursuant to this chapter,	8116
the court shall impose a definite jail term that shall be one of	8117
the following:	8118

(1) For a misdemeanor of the first degree, not more than one	8119
hundred eighty days;	8120

(2) For a misdemeanor of the second degree, not more than	8121
ninety days;	8122

(3) For a misdemeanor of the third degree, not more than	8123
sixty days;	8124

(4) For a misdemeanor of the fourth degree, not more than	8125
thirty days.	8126

(B) A court that sentences an offender to a jail term under	8127
this section may permit the offender to serve the sentence in	8128
intermittent confinement or may authorize a limited release of the	8129
offender as provided in division (B) of section 2929.26 of the	8130
Revised Code.	8131

(C) If a court sentences an offender to a jail term under	8132
this section and the court assigns the offender to a county jail	8133
that has established a county jail industry program pursuant to	8134
section 5147.30 of the Revised Code, the court shall specify, as	8135
part of the sentence, whether the offender may be considered for	8136
participation in the program. During the offender's term in the	8137
county jail, the court retains jurisdiction to modify its	8138
specification regarding the offender's participation in the county	8139
jail industry program.	8140

(D) If a person is sentenced to a jail term pursuant to this	8141
section, the court may impose as part of the sentence pursuant to	8142
section 2929.28 of the Revised Code a reimbursement sanction, and,	8143
if the local detention facility in which the term is to be served	8144
is covered by a policy adopted pursuant to section 307.93, 341.14,	8145
341.19, 341.21, 341.23, 753.02, 753.04, 753.16, 2301.56, or	8146
2947.19 of the Revised Code and section 2929.37 of the Revised	8147
Code, both of the following apply:	8148

(1) The court shall specify both of the following as part of	8149
the sentence:	8150

(a) If the person is presented with an itemized bill pursuant	8151
to section 2929.37 of the Revised Code for payment of the costs of	8152
confinement, the person is required to pay the bill in accordance	8153
with that section.	8154

(b) If the person does not dispute the bill described in	8155
division (D)(1)(a) of this section and does not pay the bill by	8156
the times specified in section 2929.37 of the Revised Code, the	8157
clerk of the court may issue a certificate of judgment against the	8158
person as described in that section.	8159

(2) The sentence automatically includes any certificate of	8160
judgment issued as described in division (D)(1)(b) of this	8161
section.	8162

Sec. 2929.25.  (A)(1) Except as provided in sections 2929.22	8163
and 2929.23 of the Revised Code or when a jail term is required by	8164
law, in sentencing an offender for a misdemeanor, other than a	8165
minor misdemeanor, the sentencing court may do either of the	8166
following:	8167

(a) Directly impose a sentence that consists of one or more	8168
community control sanctions authorized by section 2929.26,	8169
2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code. The court may impose any	8170
other conditions of release under a community control sanction	8171
that the court considers appropriate, including, but not limited	8172
to, requiring that the offender not ingest or be injected with a	8173
drug of abuse and submit to random drug testing and requiring that	8174
the results of the drug test indicate that the offender did not	8175
ingest or was not injected with a drug of abuse. If the court	8176
imposes a jail term upon the offender, the court may impose any	8177
community control sanction or combination of community control	8178
sanctions in addition to the jail term.	8179

(b) Impose a jail term under section 2929.24 of the Revised	8180
Code from the range of jail terms authorized under that section	8181
for the offense, suspend all or a portion of the jail term	8182
imposed, and place the offender under a community control sanction	8183
or combination of community control sanctions authorized under	8184
section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code.	8185

(2) The duration of all community control sanctions imposed	8186
upon an offender and in effect for an offender at any time shall	8187
not exceed five years.	8188

(3) At sentencing, if a court directly imposes a community	8189
control sanction or combination of community control sanctions	8190
pursuant to division (A)(1)(a) of this section, the court shall	8191
state the duration of the community control sanctions imposed and	8192
shall notify the offender that if any of the conditions of the	8193
community control sanctions are violated the court may do any of	8194
the following:	8195

(a) Impose a longer time under the same community control	8196
sanction if the total time under all of the offender's community	8197
control sanctions does not exceed the five-year limit specified in	8198
division (A)(2) of this section;	8199

(b) Impose a more restrictive community control sanction	8200
under section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code,	8201
but the court is not required to impose any particular sanction or	8202
sanctions;	8203

(c) Impose a definite jail term from the range of jail terms	8204
authorized for the offense under section 2929.24 of the Revised	8205
Code.	8206

(B)(1) If a court sentences an offender to any community	8207
control sanction or combination of community control sanctions	8208
authorized under section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the	8209
Revised Code, the court shall place the offender under the general	8210
control and supervision of the court or of a department of	8211
probation in the jurisdiction that serves the court for purposes	8212
of reporting to the court a violation of any of the conditions of	8213
the sanctions imposed. If the offender resides in another	8214
jurisdiction and a department of probation has been established to	8215
serve the municipal court or county court in that jurisdiction,	8216
the sentencing court may request the municipal court or the county	8217
court to receive the offender into the general control and	8218
supervision of that department of probation for purposes of	8219
reporting to the sentencing court a violation of any of the	8220
conditions of the sanctions imposed. The sentencing court retains	8221
jurisdiction over any offender whom it sentences for the duration	8222
of the sanction or sanctions imposed.	8223

(2) The sentencing court shall require as a condition of any	8224
community control sanction that the offender abide by the law and	8225
not leave the state without the permission of the court or the	8226
offender's probation officer. In the interests of doing justice,	8227
rehabilitating the offender, and ensuring the offender's good	8228
behavior, the court may impose additional requirements on the	8229
offender. The offender's compliance with the additional	8230
requirements also shall be a condition of the community control	8231
sanction imposed upon the offender.	8232

(C)(1) If the court imposing sentence upon an offender	8233
sentences the offender to any community control sanction or	8234
combination of community control sanctions authorized under	8235
section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code, and if	8236
the offender violates any of the conditions of the sanctions, the	8237
public or private person or entity that supervises or administers	8238
the program or activity that comprises the sanction shall report	8239
the violation directly to the sentencing court or to the	8240
department of probation or probation officer with general control	8241
and supervision over the offender. If the public or private	8242
person or entity reports the violation to the department of	8243
probation or probation officer, the department or officer shall	8244
report the violation to the sentencing court.	8245

(2) If an offender violates any condition of a community	8246
control sanction, the sentencing court may impose upon the	8247
violator a longer time under the same community control sanction	8248
if the total time under all of the community control sanctions	8249
imposed on the violator does not exceed the five-year limit	8250
specified in division (A)(2) of this section or may impose on the	8251
violator a more restrictive community control sanction or	8252
combination of community control sanctions, including a jail term.	8253
If the court imposes a jail term upon a violator pursuant to this	8254
division, the total time spent in jail for the misdemeanor offense	8255
and the violation of a condition of the community control sanction	8256
shall not exceed the maximum jail term available for the offense	8257
for which the sanction that was violated was imposed. The court	8258
may reduce the longer period of time that the violator is required	8259
to spend under the longer sanction or the more restrictive	8260
sanction by all or part of the time the violator successfully	8261
spent under the sanction that was initially imposed.	8262

(D) Except as otherwise provided in this division, if an	8263
offender, for a significant period of time, fulfills the	8264
conditions of a community control sanction imposed pursuant to	8265
section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code in an	8266
exemplary manner, the court may reduce the period of time under	8267
the community control sanction or impose a less restrictive	8268
community control sanction. Fulfilling the conditions of a	8269
community control sanction does not relieve the offender of a duty	8270
to make restitution under section 2929.28 of the Revised Code.	8271

Sec. 2929.26.  (A) Except when a mandatory jail term is	8272
required by law, the court imposing a sentence for a misdemeanor,	8273
other than a minor misdemeanor, may impose upon the offender any	8274
community residential sanction or combination of community	8275
residential sanctions under this section. Community residential	8276

(1) A term of up to one hundred eighty days in a halfway	8278
house or a term in a halfway house not to exceed the longest jail	8279
term available for the offense, whichever is shorter, if the	8280

the costs of confining the offender in a jail has entered into a	8282
contract with the halfway house for use of the facility for	8283
misdemeanor offenders;	8284

(2) A term of up to one hundred eighty days in an	8285

residential sanction under this section may do either or both of	8292
the following:	8293

training, receive treatment, perform community service, or	8300
otherwise fulfill an obligation imposed by law or by the court. A	8301
release pursuant to this division shall be only for the duration	8302
of time that is needed to fulfill the purpose of the release and	8303
for travel that reasonably is necessary to fulfill the purposes of	8304
the release.	8305

(C) The court may order that a reasonable portion of the	8306
income earned by the offender upon a release pursuant to division	8307
(B) of this section be applied to any financial sanction imposed	8308
under section 2929.28 of the Revised Code.	8309

(D) No court shall sentence any person to a prison term for	8310
a misdemeanor or minor misdemeanor or to a jail term for a minor	8311
misdemeanor.	8312

(E) If a court sentences a person who has been convicted of	8313
or pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor to a community residential	8314
sanction as described in division (A) of this section, at the time	8315
of reception and at other times the person in charge of the	8316
operation of the halfway house, alternative residential facility,	8317
or other place at which the offender will serve the residential	8318
sanction determines to be appropriate, the person in charge of the	8319
operation of the halfway house, alternative residential facility,	8320
or other place may cause the convicted offender to be examined and	8321
tested for tuberculosis, HIV infection, hepatitis, including, but	8322
not limited to, hepatitis A, B, and C, and other contagious	8323
diseases. The person in charge of the operation of the halfway	8324

convicted offender in the halfway house, alternative residential	8327
facility, or other place who refuses to be tested or treated for	8328
tuberculosis, HIV infection, hepatitis, including, but not limited	8329
to, hepatitis A, B, and C, or another contagious disease to be	8330
tested and treated involuntarily.	8331

(F) A political subdivision may enter into a contract with a	8332
halfway house for use of the halfway house to house misdemeanor	8333
offenders under a sanction imposed under division (A)(1) of this	8334

Sec. 2929.27.  (A) Except when a mandatory jail term is	8336
required by law, the court imposing a sentence for a misdemeanor,	8337
other than a minor misdemeanor, may impose upon the offender any	8338
nonresidential sanction or combination of nonresidential sanctions	8339

(13) If authorized by law, suspension of the offender's	8363
privilege to operate a motor vehicle, immobilization or forfeiture	8364
of the offender's motor vehicle, a requirement that the offender	8365
obtain a valid motor vehicle operator's license, or any other	8366
related sanction;	8367

(14) A requirement that the offender obtain counseling if the	8368
offense is a violation of section 2919.25 or a violation of	8369
section 2903.13 of the Revised Code involving a person who was a	8370
family or household member at the time of the violation, if the	8371
offender committed the offense in the vicinity of one or more	8372
children who are not victims of the offense, and if the offender	8373
or the victim of the offense is a parent, guardian, custodian, or	8374
person in loco parentis of one or more of those children. This	8375
division does not limit the court in requiring that the offender	8376
obtain counseling for any offense or in any circumstance not	8377
specified in this division.	8378

(B) In addition to the sanctions authorized under division	8379
(A) of this section, the court imposing a sentence for a	8380
misdemeanor, other than a minor misdemeanor, upon an offender who	8381
is not required to serve a mandatory jail term may impose any	8382
other sanction that is intended to discourage the offender or	8383
other persons from committing a similar offense if the sanction is	8384
reasonably related to the overriding purposes and principles of	8385
misdemeanor sentencing.	8386

(C) The court imposing a sentence for a minor misdemeanor	8387
may impose a term of community service in lieu of all or part of a	8388
fine. The term of community service imposed for a minor	8389
misdemeanor shall not exceed thirty hours.	8390

Sec. 2929.28.  (A) In addition to imposing court costs	8391
pursuant to section 2947.23 of the Revised Code, the court	8392
imposing a sentence upon an offender for a misdemeanor, including	8393
a minor misdemeanor, may sentence the offender to any financial	8394
sanction or combination of financial sanctions authorized under	8395
this section. Financial sanctions that may be imposed pursuant to	8396
this section include, but are not limited to, the following:	8397

(1) Restitution by the offender to the victim of the	8398
offender's crime or any survivor of the victim, in an amount based	8399
on the victim's economic loss. The court shall order that the	8400
restitution be made to the victim in open court or to the adult	8401
probation department that serves the jurisdiction or the clerk of	8402
the court on behalf of the victim. The order may include a	8403
requirement that reimbursement be made to third parties, other	8404
than the offender's insurer, for amounts paid to the victim or any	8405
survivor of the victim for economic loss resulting from the	8406
offense. If reimbursement to third parties is required, the	8407
offender shall make the reimbursement to any governmental agency	8408
to repay any amounts paid by the agency to the victim or survivor	8409
before the offender makes any reimbursement to any other person.	8410

The court shall determine, or order to be determined, the	8411
amount of restitution to be paid by the offender. The court may	8412
base the amount of restitution it orders on an amount recommended	8413
by the victim, the offender, a presentence investigation report,	8414
estimates or receipts indicating the cost of repairing or	8415
replacing property, and other information. The court shall hold a	8416
hearing on restitution if the offender, victim, or survivor	8417
disputes the amount of restitution.	8418

All restitution payments shall be credited against any	8419
recovery of economic loss in a civil action brought by the victim	8420
or any survivor of the victim against the offender.	8421

The court may order that the offender pay a surcharge, of not	8422
more than five per cent of the amount of the restitution otherwise	8423
ordered, to the entity responsible for collecting and processing	8424
restitution payments.	8425

The victim or survivor may request that the prosecuting	8426
attorney file a motion, or the offender may file a motion, for	8427
modification of the payment terms of any restitution ordered. If	8428
the court grants the motion, it may modify the payment terms as it	8429
determines appropriate.	8430

(2) A fine of the type described in divisions (A)(2)(a) and	8431
(b) of this section payable to the appropriate entity as required	8432
by law:	8433

(a) A fine in the following amount:

8434

(i) For a misdemeanor of the first degree, not more than one	8435
thousand dollars;	8436

(ii) For a misdemeanor of the second degree, not more than	8437
seven hundred fifty dollars;	8438

(iii) For a misdemeanor of the third degree, not more than	8439
five hundred dollars;	8440

(iv) For a misdemeanor of the fourth degree, not more than	8441
two hundred fifty dollars;	8442

(v) For a minor misdemeanor, not more than one hundred fifty	8443
dollars.	8444

(b) A state fine or cost as defined in section 2949.111 of	8445
the Revised Code.	8446

(3)(a) Reimbursement by the offender of any or all of the	8447
costs of sanctions incurred by the government, including, but not	8448
limited to, the following:	8449

(i) All or part of the costs of implementing any community	8450
control sanction, including a supervision fee under section	8451
2951.021 of the Revised Code;	8452

(ii) All or part of the costs of confinement in a jail or	8453
other residential facility, including, but not limited to, a per	8454
diem fee for room and board, the costs of medical and dental	8455
treatment, and the costs of repairing property damaged by the	8456
offender while confined.	8457

(b) The amount of reimbursement ordered under division	8458
(A)(3)(a) of this section shall not exceed the total amount of	8459
reimbursement the offender is able to pay and shall not exceed the	8460
actual cost of the sanctions. The court may collect any amount of	8461
reimbursement the offender is required to pay under that division.	8462
If the court does not order reimbursement under that division,	8463
confinement costs may be assessed pursuant to a repayment policy	8464
adopted under section 2929.37 of the Revised Code. In addition,	8465
the offender may be required to pay the fees specified in section	8466
2929.38 of the Revised Code in accordance with that section.	8467

(B) If the court determines a hearing is necessary, the	8468
court may hold a hearing to determine whether the offender is able	8469
to pay the financial sanction imposed pursuant to this section or	8470
court costs or is likely in the future to be able to pay the	8471
sanction or costs.	8472

If the court determines that the offender is indigent and	8473
unable to pay the financial sanction or court costs, the court	8474
shall consider imposing and may impose a term of community service	8475
under division (A) of section 2929.27 of the Revised Code in lieu	8476
of imposing a financial sanction or court costs. If the court	8477
does not determine that the offender is indigent, the court may	8478
impose a term of community service under division (A) of section	8479
2929.27 of the Revised Code in lieu of or in addition to imposing	8480
a financial sanction under this section and in addition to	8481
imposing court costs. The court may order community service for a	8482
minor misdemeanor pursuant to division (C) of section 2929.27 of	8483
the Revised Code in lieu of or in addition to imposing a financial	8484
sanction under this section and in addition to imposing court	8485
costs. If a person fails to pay a financial sanction or court	8486
costs, the court may order community service in lieu of the	8487
financial sanction or court costs.	8488

(C)(1) The offender shall pay reimbursements imposed upon	8489
the offender pursuant to division (A)(3) of this section to pay	8490
the costs incurred by a county pursuant to any sanction imposed	8491
under this section or section 2929.26 or 2929.27 of the Revised	8492
Code or in operating a facility used to confine offenders pursuant	8493
to a sanction imposed under section 2929.26 of the Revised Code to	8494
the county treasurer. The county treasurer shall deposit the	8495
reimbursements in the county's general fund in accordance with	8496
division (H) of this section. The county shall use the amounts	8497
deposited in the fund to pay the costs incurred by the county	8498
pursuant to any sanction imposed under this section or section	8499
2929.26 or 2929.27 of the Revised Code or in operating a facility	8500
used to confine offenders pursuant to a sanction imposed under	8501
section 2929.26 of the Revised Code.	8502

(2) The offender shall pay reimbursements imposed upon the	8503
offender pursuant to division (A)(3) of this section to pay the	8504
costs incurred by a municipal corporation pursuant to any sanction	8505
imposed under this section or section 2929.26 or 2929.27 of the	8506
Revised Code or in operating a facility used to confine offenders	8507
pursuant to a sanction imposed under section 2929.26 of the	8508
Revised Code to the treasurer of the municipal corporation. The	8509
treasurer shall deposit the reimbursements in the municipal	8510
corporation's general fund in accordance with division (H) of	8511
this section. The municipal corporation shall use the amounts	8512
deposited in the fund to pay the costs incurred by the municipal	8513
corporation pursuant to any sanction imposed under this section or	8514
section 2929.26 or 2929.27 of the Revised Code or in operating a	8515
facility used to confine offenders pursuant to a sanction imposed	8516
under section 2929.26 of the Revised Code.	8517

(3) The offender shall pay reimbursements imposed pursuant	8518
to division (A)(3) of this section for the costs incurred by a	8519
private provider pursuant to a sanction imposed under this section	8520
or section 2929.26 or 2929.27 of the Revised Code to the provider.	8521

(D) Except as otherwise provided in this division, a	8522
financial sanction imposed under division (A) of this section is a	8523
judgment in favor of the state or the political subdivision that	8524
operates the court that imposed the financial sanction. A	8525
financial sanction of reimbursement imposed pursuant to division	8526
(A)(3)(a)(i) of this section upon an offender is a judgment in	8527
favor of the entity administering the community control sanction.	8528
A financial sanction of reimbursement imposed pursuant to division	8529
(A)(3)(a)(ii) of this section upon an offender confined in a jail	8530
or other residential facility is a judgment in favor of the entity	8531
operating the jail or other residential facility. A financial	8532
sanction of restitution imposed pursuant to division (A)(1) of	8533
this section is a judgment in favor of the victim of the	8534
offender's criminal act. The offender subject to the financial	8535
sanction is the judgment debtor.	8536

Once the financial sanction is imposed as a judgment, the	8537
victim, private provider, state, or political subdivision may	8538
bring an action to do any of the following:	8539

(1) Obtain execution of the judgment through any available	8540
procedure, including any of the procedures identified in divisions	8541
(D)(1)(a) to (e) of section 2929.18 of the Revised Code.	8542

(2) Obtain an order for the assignment of wages of the	8543
judgment debtor under section 1321.33 of the Revised Code.	8544

(E) The civil remedies authorized under division (D) of this	8545
section for the collection of the financial sanction supplement,	8546
but do not preclude, enforcement of the criminal sentence.	8547

(F) Each court imposing a financial sanction upon an	8548
offender under this section may designate the clerk of the court	8549
or another person to collect the financial sanction. The clerk,	8550
or another person authorized by law or the court to collect the	8551
financial sanction may do the following:	8552

(1) Enter into contracts with one or more public agencies or	8553
private vendors for the collection of amounts due under the	8554
sanction. Before entering into a contract for the collection of	8555
amounts due from an offender pursuant to any financial sanction	8556
imposed pursuant to this section, a court shall comply with	8557
sections 307.86 to 307.92 of the Revised Code.	8558

(2) Permit payment of all or any portion of the sanction in	8559
installments, by financial transaction device if the court is a	8560
county court or a municipal court operated by a county, by credit	8561
or debit card or by another electronic transfer if the court is a	8562
municipal court not operated by a county, or by any other	8563
reasonable method, in any time, and on any terms that court	8564
considers just, except that the maximum time permitted for payment	8565
shall not exceed five years. If the court is a county court or a	8566
municipal court operated by a county, the acceptance of payments	8567
by any financial transaction device shall be governed by the	8568
policy adopted by the board of county commissioners of the county	8569
pursuant to section 301.28 of the Revised Code. If the court is a	8570
municipal court not operated by a county, the clerk may pay any	8571
fee associated with processing an electronic transfer out of	8572
public money or may charge the fee to the offender.	8573

(3) To defray administrative costs, charge a reasonable fee	8574
to an offender who elects a payment plan rather than a lump sum	8575
payment of any financial sanction.	8576

(G) No financial sanction imposed under this section shall	8577
preclude a victim from bringing a civil action against the	8578
offender.	8579

(H) Reimbursement imposed under division (A)(3) of this	8580
section to pay the costs incurred by a county or municipal	8581
corporation shall be paid to the general fund of the county or	8582
municipal corporation that incurred the expenses in question, as	8583
described in division (C) of this section.	8584

Sec. 2929.31.  (A) Regardless of the penalties provided in	8585

2929.28 of the Revised Code, an organization convicted of an	8587

than two thousand dollars;	8617

(15) For a minor misdemeanor not specifically classified,	8618
not more than one thousand dollars.	8619

(B) When an organization is convicted of an offense that is	8620
not specifically classified, and the section defining the offense	8621
or penalty plainly indicates a purpose to impose the penalty	8622
provided for violation upon organizations, then the penalty so	8623
provided shall be imposed in lieu of the penalty provided in this	8624
section.	8625

(C) When an organization is convicted of an offense that is	8626
not specifically classified, and the penalty provided includes a	8627
higher fine than the fine that is provided in this section, then	8628
the penalty imposed shall be pursuant to the penalty provided for	8629
the violation of the section defining the offense.	8630

(D) This section does not prevent the imposition of	8631
available civil sanctions against an organization convicted of an	8632
offense pursuant to section 2901.23 of the Revised Code, either in	8633
addition to or in lieu of a fine imposed pursuant to this section.	8634

this section, notwithstanding the fines prescribed in section	8636
2929.02 of the Revised Code for a person who is convicted of or	8637

of the Revised Code.	8657

(c) The offense for which the offender is being sentenced is	8658

of the Revised Code, and the fine imposed under division (A)(1) of	8671
this section shall be deposited pursuant to division (B) of this	8672
section.	8673

(B) If a sentencing court imposes a fine upon an offender	8674
pursuant to division (A)(1) of this section, all moneys paid in	8675

notwithstanding any contrary provision of any section of the	8682
Revised Code, if a sentencing court imposes a fine upon an	8683

right, title, or interest, including property acquired after the	8691
imposition of the fine, in the same manner as if the judgment had	8692
been rendered against the offender and in favor of the state in a	8693

expenses. The prisoner shall sign a copy of the bill, and the	8829
reimbursement coordinator shall retain that copy. If the	8830

authority or managing authority and shall issue a judgment in	8842
favor of the legislative authority or managing authority for any	8843
undisputed expenses and the amount of the disputed expenses for	8844
which the prisoner must reimburse the legislative authority or	8845
managing authority. The reimbursement coordinator shall not seek	8846
to enforce the judgment until at least ninety days after the court	8847
issues the judgment.	8848

(C) If a prisoner does not dispute the itemized bill	8849
presented to the prisoner under division (B) of this section and	8850
does not pay the bill within ninety days, the reimbursement	8851
coordinator shall send by mail a notice to the prisoner	8852
requesting payment of the expenses as stated in the bill. If the	8853
prisoner does not respond to the notice by paying the expenses in	8854
full within thirty days of the date the notice was mailed, the	8855
reimbursement coordinator shall send by mail a second notice to	8856
the prisoner requesting payment of the expenses. If one hundred	8857
eighty days elapse from the date that the reimbursement	8858
coordinator provides the bill and if the prisoner has not paid the	8859
full amount of the expenses pursuant to the bill and the notices,	8860
the reimbursement coordinator may notify the clerk of the	8861
appropriate court of those facts, and the clerk may issue a	8862
certificate of judgment against the prisoner for the balance of	8863
the expenses remaining unpaid.	8864

(D) The reimbursement coordinator may collect any amounts	8865
remaining unpaid on an itemized bill and any costs associated	8866
with the enforcement of the judgment and may enter into a	8867
contract with one or more public agencies or private vendors to	8868
collect any amounts remaining unpaid. For enforcing a judgment	8869
issued under this section, the reimbursement coordinator may	8870
assess an additional poundage fee of two per cent of the amount	8871
remaining unpaid and may collect costs associated with the	8872
enforcement of the judgment.	8873

(E) Neither the reimbursement coordinator nor the	8874
legislative authority or the managing authority shall enforce any	8875
judgment obtained under this section by means of execution against	8876
the prisoner's homestead. Any reimbursement received under this	8877
section shall be credited to the general fund of the treasury of	8878
the political subdivision that incurred the expense, to be used	8879

corrections board, or any other public or private entity that	8884
operates a local detention facility described in division (A) of	8885

of pleading guilty to or having been convicted of an offense to	8888
pay a one-time reception fee for the costs of processing the	8889
prisoner into the facility at the time of the prisoner's initial	8890
entry into the facility under the confinement in question, to pay	8891
a reasonable fee for any medical or dental treatment or service	8892
requested by and provided to that prisoner, and to pay the fee for	8893
a random drug test assessed under division (E) of section 341.26,	8894
and division (E) of section 753.33 of the Revised Code. The fee	8895
for the medical treatment or service shall not exceed the actual	8896
cost of the treatment or service provided. No prisoner confined	8897
in the local detention facility shall be denied any necessary	8898
medical care because of inability to pay the fees.	8899

(B) Upon assessment of a one-time reception fee as described	8900
in division (A) of this section, the provision of the requested	8901
medical treatment or service, or the assessment of a fee for a	8902
random drug test, payment of the required fee may be automatically	8903
deducted from the prisoner's inmate account in the business office	8904
of the local detention facility in which the prisoner is confined.	8905
If there is no money in the account, a deduction may be made at a	8906
later date during the prisoner's confinement if the money becomes	8907
available in the account. If, after release, the prisoner has an	8908
unpaid balance of those fees, the sheriff, legislative authority	8909
of the municipal corporation, corrections commission, judicial	8910
corrections board, or other entity that operates the local	8911
detention facility described in division (A) of section 2929.37	8912
of the Revised Code may bill the prisoner for the payment of the	8913
unpaid fees. Fees received for medical or dental treatment or	8914
services shall be paid to the commissary fund, if one exists for	8915
the facility, or if no commissary fund exists, to the general fund	8916
of the treasury of the political subdivision that incurred the	8917
expenses, in the same proportion as those expenses were borne by	8918
the political subdivision.	8919

(C) Any fee paid by a person under this section shall be	8920
deducted from any medical or dental costs that the person is	8921
ordered to reimburse under a financial sanction imposed pursuant	8922

Sec. 2951.041.  (A)(1) If an offender is charged with a	10430
criminal offense and the court has reason to believe that drug or	10431
alcohol usage by the offender was a factor leading to the	10432
offender's criminal behavior, the court may accept, prior to the	10433
entry of a guilty plea, the offender's request for intervention in	10434

against the offender, and arraignment, unless the hearing,	10438
indictment, or arraignment has already occurred. The court may	10439
reject an offender's request without a hearing. If the court	10440
elects to consider an offender's request, the court shall conduct	10441
a hearing to determine whether the offender is eligible under this	10442
section for intervention in lieu of conviction and shall stay all	10443
criminal proceedings pending the outcome of the hearing. If the	10444
court schedules a hearing, the court shall order an assessment of	10445
the offender for the purpose of determining the offender's	10446
eligibility for intervention in lieu of conviction and	10447
recommending an appropriate intervention plan.	10448

(2) The victim notification provisions of division (C) of	10449
section 2930.08 of the Revised Code apply in relation to any	10450
hearing held under division (A)(1) of this section.	10451

(B) An offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of	10452
conviction if the court finds all of the following:	10453

(1) The offender previously has not been convicted of or	10454
pleaded guilty to a felony, previously has not been through	10455
intervention in lieu of conviction under this section or any	10456
similar regimen, and is charged with a felony for which the court,	10457
upon conviction, would impose sentence under division (B)(2)(b) of	10458
section 2929.13 of the Revised Code or with a misdemeanor.	10459

(2) The offense is not a felony of the first, second, or	10460

term, a mandatory term of local incarceration, or a mandatory term	10468
of imprisonment in a jail.	10469

(3) The offender is not charged with a violation of section	10470
2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, or 2925.06 of the Revised Code and is	10471
not charged with a violation of section 2925.11 of the Revised	10472
Code that is a felony of the first, second, or third degree.	10473

2925.11 of the Revised Code that is a felony of the fourth degree,	10475
or the offender is charged with a violation of that section that	10476
is a felony of the fourth degree and the prosecutor in the case	10477
has recommended that the offender be classified as being eligible	10478
for intervention in lieu of conviction under this section.	10479

(5) The offender has been assessed by an appropriately	10480
licensed provider, certified facility, or licensed and	10481
credentialed professional, including, but not limited to, a	10482
program licensed by the department of alcohol and drug addiction	10483

plan.	10493

(6) The offender's drug or alcohol usage was a factor	10494
leading to the criminal offense with which the offender is	10495
charged, intervention in lieu of conviction would not demean the	10496
seriousness of the offense, and intervention would substantially	10497
reduce the likelihood of any future criminal activity.	10498

(7) The alleged victim of the offense was not sixty-five	10499
years of age or older, permanently and totally disabled, under	10500

conditions imposed by the court pursuant to division (D) of this	10508
section.	10509

(A) of this section, the court shall enter its determination as to	10511
whether the offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of	10512
conviction and as to whether to grant the offender's request. If	10513
the court finds under division (B) of this section that the	10514
offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction and	10515
grants the offender's request, the court shall accept the	10516
offender's plea of guilty and waiver of the defendant's right to a	10517
speedy trial, the preliminary hearing, the time period within	10518
which the grand jury may consider an indictment against the	10519
offender, and arraignment, unless the hearing, indictment, or	10520
arraignment has already occurred. In addition, the court then may	10521
stay all criminal proceedings and order the offender to comply	10522
with all terms and conditions imposed by the court pursuant to	10523
division (D) of this section. If the court finds that the	10524
offender is not eligible or does not grant the offender's request,	10525
the criminal proceedings against the offender shall proceed as if	10526
the offender's request for intervention in lieu of conviction had	10527
not been made.	10528

(D) If the court grants an offender's request for	10529
intervention in lieu of conviction, the court shall place the	10530
offender under the general control and supervision of the county	10531
probation department, the adult parole authority, or another	10532
appropriate local probation or court services agency, if one	10533
exists, as if the offender was subject to a community control	10534
sanction imposed under section 2929.15 or, 2929.18, or 2929.25 of	10535
the Revised Code or was on probation under sections 2929.51 and	10536
2951.02 of the Revised Code and other provisions of the	10537
misdemeanor sentencing law. The court shall establish an	10538
intervention plan for the offender. The terms and conditions of	10539
the intervention plan shall require the offender, for at least one	10540
year from the date on which the court grants the order of	10541
intervention in lieu of conviction, to abstain from the use of	10542
illegal drugs and alcohol and to submit to regular random testing	10543
for drug and alcohol use and may include any other treatment terms	10544
and conditions, or terms and conditions similar to community	10545
control sanctions, that are ordered by the court.	10546

(E) If the court grants an offender's request for	10547
intervention in lieu of conviction and the court finds that the	10548
offender has successfully completed the intervention plan for the	10549
offender, including the requirement that the offender abstain from	10550
using drugs and alcohol for a period of at least one year from the	10551
date on which the court granted the order of intervention in lieu	10552
of conviction and all other terms and conditions ordered by the	10553
court, the court shall dismiss the proceedings against the	10554
offender. Successful completion of the intervention plan and	10555
period of abstinence under this section shall be without	10556
adjudication of guilt and is not a criminal conviction for	10557
purposes of any disqualification or disability imposed by law and	10558
upon conviction of a crime, and the court may order the sealing of	10559
records related to the offense in question in the manner provided	10560
in sections 2953.31 to 2953.36 of the Revised Code.	10561

(F) If the court grants an offender's request for	10562
intervention in lieu of conviction and the offender fails to	10563
comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the	10564
intervention plan for the offender, the supervising authority for	10565
the offender promptly shall advise the court of this failure, and	10566
the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether the offender	10567
failed to comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the	10568
plan. If the court determines that the offender has failed to	10569
comply with any of those terms and conditions, it shall enter a	10570
finding of guilty and shall impose an appropriate sanction under	10571
Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code.	10572

(G) As used in this section:

10573

(1) "Community control sanction" has the same meaning as in	10574

receive the offender into the control and supervision of that	10596
county or multicounty department of probation, subject to the	10597
jurisdiction of the trial judge over and with respect to the	10598
person of the offender, and to the rules governing that department	10599

of the Revised Code, a first offender may apply to the sentencing	10811
court if convicted in this state, or to a court of common pleas if	10812
convicted in another state or in a federal court, for the sealing	10813
of the conviction record. Application may be made at the	10814
expiration of three years after the offender's final discharge if	10815
convicted of a felony, or at the expiration of one year after the	10816
offender's final discharge if convicted of a misdemeanor.	10817

(2) Any person who has been arrested for any misdemeanor	10818
offense and who has effected a bail forfeiture may apply to the	10819
court in which the misdemeanor criminal case was pending when bail	10820
was forfeited for the sealing of the record of the case. Except	10821
as provided in section 2953.61 of the Revised Code, the	10822
application may be filed at any time after the expiration of one	10823
year from the date on which the bail forfeiture was entered upon	10824
the minutes of the court or the journal, whichever entry occurs	10825
first.	10826

(B) Upon the filing of an application under this section,	10827
the court shall set a date for a hearing and shall notify the	10828
prosecutor for the case of the hearing on the application. The	10829
prosecutor may object to the granting of the application by filing	10830
an objection with the court prior to the date set for the hearing.	10831
The prosecutor shall specify in the objection the reasons for	10832
believing a denial of the application is justified. The court	10833
shall direct its regular probation officer, a state probation	10834
officer, or the department of probation of the county in which the	10835
applicant resides to make inquiries and written reports as the	10836
court requires concerning the applicant.	10837

(C)(1) The court shall do each of the following:

10838

(a) Determine whether the applicant is a first offender or	10839
whether the forfeiture of bail was agreed to by the applicant and	10840
the prosecutor in the case. If the applicant applies as a first	10841
offender pursuant to division (A)(1) of this section and has two	10842
or three convictions that result from the same indictment,	10843
information, or complaint, from the same plea of guilty, or from	10844
the same official proceeding, and result from related criminal	10845
acts that were committed within a three-month period but do not	10846
result from the same act or from offenses committed at the same	10847
time, in making its determination under this division, the court	10848
initially shall determine whether it is not in the public interest	10849
for the two or three convictions to be counted as one conviction.	10850
If the court determines that it is not in the public interest for	10851
the two or three convictions to be counted as one conviction, the	10852
court shall determine that the applicant is not a first offender;	10853
if the court does not make that determination, the court shall	10854
determine that the offender is a first offender.	10855

(b) Determine whether criminal proceedings are pending	10856
against the applicant;	10857

(c) If the applicant is a first offender who applies	10858
pursuant to division (A)(1) of this section, determine whether the	10859
applicant has been rehabilitated to the satisfaction of the court;	10860

(d) If the prosecutor has filed an objection in accordance	10861
with division (B) of this section, consider the reasons against	10862
granting the application specified by the prosecutor in the	10863
objection;	10864

(e) Weigh the interests of the applicant in having the	10865
records pertaining to the applicant's conviction sealed against	10866
the legitimate needs, if any, of the government to maintain those	10867
records.	10868

(2) If the court determines, after complying with division	10869
(C)(1) of this section, that the applicant is a first offender or	10870
the subject of a bail forfeiture, that no criminal proceeding is	10871
pending against the applicant, and that the interests of the	10872
applicant in having the records pertaining to the applicant's	10873
conviction or bail forfeiture sealed are not outweighed by any	10874
legitimate governmental needs to maintain those records, and that	10875
the rehabilitation of an applicant who is a first offender	10876
applying pursuant to division (A)(1) of this section has been	10877
attained to the satisfaction of the court, the court, except as	10878
provided in division (G) of this section, shall order all official	10879
records pertaining to the case sealed and, except as provided in	10880
division (F) of this section, all index references to the case	10881
deleted and, in the case of bail forfeitures, shall dismiss the	10882
charges in the case. The proceedings in the case shall be	10883
considered not to have occurred and the conviction or bail	10884
forfeiture of the person who is the subject of the proceedings	10885
shall be sealed, except that upon conviction of a subsequent	10886
offense, the sealed record of prior conviction or bail forfeiture	10887
may be considered by the court in determining the sentence or	10888
other appropriate disposition, including the relief provided for	10889
in sections 2953.31 to 2953.33 of the Revised Code.	10890

(3) Upon the filing of an application under this section,	10891
the applicant, unless indigent, shall pay a fee of fifty dollars.	10892
The court shall pay thirty dollars of the fee into the state	10893
treasury. It shall pay twenty dollars of the fee into the county	10894
general revenue fund if the sealed conviction or bail forfeiture	10895
was pursuant to a state statute, or into the general revenue fund	10896
of the municipal corporation involved if the sealed conviction or	10897
bail forfeiture was pursuant to a municipal ordinance.	10898

(D) Inspection of the sealed records included in the order	10899
may be made only by the following persons or for the following	10900
purposes:	10901

(1) By a law enforcement officer or prosecutor, or the	10902
assistants of either, to determine whether the nature and	10903
character of the offense with which a person is to be charged	10904
would be affected by virtue of the person's previously having been	10905
convicted of a crime;	10906

(2) By the parole or probation officer of the person who is	10907
the subject of the records, for the exclusive use of the officer	10908

community control sanction or a post-release control sanction, and	10910
in making inquiries and written reports as requested by the court	10911
or adult parole authority;	10912

(3) Upon application by the person who is the subject of the	10913
records, by the persons named in the application;	10914

(4) By a law enforcement officer who was involved in the	10915
case, for use in the officer's defense of a civil action arising	10916
out of the officer's involvement in that case;	10917

(5) By a prosecuting attorney or the prosecuting attorney's	10918
assistants, to determine a defendant's eligibility to enter a	10919
pre-trial diversion program established pursuant to section	10920
2935.36 of the Revised Code;	10921

(6) By any law enforcement agency or any authorized employee	10922
of a law enforcement agency or by the department of rehabilitation	10923
and correction as part of a background investigation of a person	10924
who applies for employment with the agency as a law enforcement	10925
officer or with the department as a corrections officer;	10926

(7) By any law enforcement agency or any authorized employee	10927
of a law enforcement agency, for the purposes set forth in, and in	10928
the manner provided in, section 2953.321 of the Revised Code;	10929

(8) By the bureau of criminal identification and	10930
investigation or any authorized employee of the bureau for the	10931
purpose of providing information to a board or person pursuant to	10932
division (F) or (G) of section 109.57 of the Revised Code;	10933

(9) By the bureau of criminal identification and	10934
investigation or any authorized employee of the bureau for the	10935
purpose of performing a criminal history records check on a person	10936
to whom a certificate as prescribed in section 109.77 of the	10937
Revised Code is to be awarded.	10938

When the nature and character of the offense with which a	10939
person is to be charged would be affected by the information, it	10940
may be used for the purpose of charging the person with an	10941
offense.	10942

(E) In any criminal proceeding, proof of any otherwise	10943
admissible prior conviction may be introduced and proved,	10944
notwithstanding the fact that for any such prior conviction an	10945
order of sealing previously was issued pursuant to sections	10946
2953.31 to 2953.36 of the Revised Code.	10947

(F) The person or governmental agency, office, or department	10948
that maintains sealed records pertaining to convictions or bail	10949
forfeitures that have been sealed pursuant to this section may	10950
maintain a manual or computerized index to the sealed records. The	10951
index shall contain only the name of, and alphanumeric identifiers	10952
that relate to, the persons who are the subject of the sealed	10953
records, the word "sealed," and the name of the person, agency,	10954
office, or department that has custody of the sealed records, and	10955
shall not contain the name of the crime committed. The index shall	10956

school district that maintains records of an individual who has	10963
been permanently excluded under sections 3301.121 and 3313.662 of	10964
the Revised Code is permitted to maintain records regarding a	10965
conviction that was used as the basis for the individual's	10966
permanent exclusion, regardless of a court order to seal the	10967
record. An order issued under this section to seal the record of	10968
a conviction does not revoke the adjudication order of the	10969
superintendent of public instruction to permanently exclude the	10970
individual who is the subject of the sealing order. An order	10971
issued under this section to seal the record of a conviction of an	10972
individual may be presented to a district superintendent as	10973
evidence to support the contention that the superintendent should	10974
recommend that the permanent exclusion of the individual who is	10975
the subject of the sealing order be revoked. Except as otherwise	10976
authorized by this division and sections 3301.121 and 3313.662 of	10977
the Revised Code, any school employee in possession of or having	10978
access to the sealed conviction records of an individual that were	10979
the basis of a permanent exclusion of the individual is subject to	10980
section 2953.35 of the Revised Code.	10981

Sec. 2953.33.  (A) Except as provided in division (G) of	10982
section 2953.32 of the Revised Code, an order to seal the record	10983
of a person's conviction restores the person who is the subject of	10984
the order to all rights and privileges not otherwise restored by	10985
termination of the sentence or probationcommunity control	10986
sanction or by final release on parole or post-release control.	10987

(B) In any application for employment, license, or other	10988
right or privilege, any appearance as a witness, or any other	10989
inquiry, except as provided in division (E) of section 2953.32 of	10990
the Revised Code, a person may be questioned only with respect to	10991
convictions not sealed, bail forfeitures not expunged under	10992
section 2953.42 of the Revised Code as it existed prior to June	10993
29, 1988, and bail forfeitures not sealed, unless the question	10994
bears a direct and substantial relationship to the position for	10995
which the person is being considered.	10996

Sec. 2961.01. (A) A person convicted of a felony under the	10997
laws of this or any other state or the United States, unless the	10998
conviction is reversed or annulled, is incompetent to be an	10999
elector or juror or to hold an office of honor, trust, or profit.	11000
When any person convicted of a felony under any law of that type	11001
is granted probation, parole, judicial release, or a conditional	11002
pardon or is released under a non-jail community control sanction	11003
or a post-release control sanction, the person is competent to be	11004
an elector during the period of probationcommunity control,	11005
parole, post-release control, or release or until the conditions	11006
of the pardon have been performed or have transpired and is	11007
competent to be an elector thereafter following final discharge.	11008
The full pardon of a convict restores the rights and privileges so	11009
forfeited under this section, but a pardon shall not release a	11010
convict from the costs of the convict's conviction in this state,	11011
unless so specified.	11012

prisoner is serving a prison term or term of imprisonment for an	11221
offense committed prior to the effective date of this amendment	11222
March 17, 1998, and if, at the time at which eligibility is being	11223
determined, the prisoner would have been eligible for a furlough	11224
under this section as it existed immediately prior to the	11225
effective date of this amendmentMarch 17, 1998, or would have	11226
been eligible for conditional release under former section 2967.23	11227
of the Revised Code as that section existed immediately prior to	11228
the effective date of this amendmentMarch 17, 1998;	11229

disapprove the transfer of the prisoner to transitional control	11243
and shall include a report prepared by the head of the state	11244
correctional institution in which the prisoner is confined. The	11245

provide to the authority for inclusion in the notice sent to the	11248
court under this division a report on the prisoner's conduct in	11249
the institution and in any institution from which the prisoner may	11250
have been transferred. The report shall cover the prisoner's	11251
participation in school, vocational training, work, treatment, and	11252
other rehabilitative activities and any disciplinary action taken	11253
against the prisoner. If the court disapproves of the transfer of	11254
the prisoner to transitional control, the court shall notify the	11255
authority of the disapproval within thirty days after receipt of	11256
the notice. If the court timely disapproves the transfer of the	11257
prisoner to transitional control, the authority shall not proceed	11258

victim's name and address, the adult parole authority, at least	11266
three weeks prior to transferring the prisoner to transitional	11267
control pursuant to this section, shall notify the victim of the	11268
pendency of the transfer and of the victim's right to submit a	11269
statement to the authority regarding the impact of the transfer of	11270
the prisoner to transitional control. If the victim subsequently	11271
submits a statement of that nature to the authority, the authority	11272
shall consider the statement in deciding whether to transfer the	11273
prisoner to transitional control.	11274

(B) Each prisoner transferred to transitional control under	11275
this section shall be confined in the manner described in division	11276

this section, and using the moneys deposited into the transitional	11286
control fund established under division (E) of this section.	11287

(D) The department of rehabilitation and correction may	11288
adopt rules for the issuance of passes for the limited purposes	11289
described in this division to prisoners who are transferred to	11290
transitional control under this section. If the department adopts	11291
rules of that nature, the rules shall govern the granting of the	11292
passes and shall provide for the supervision of prisoners who are	11293
temporarily released pursuant to one of those passes. Upon the	11294
adoption of rules under this division, the department may issue	11295
passes to prisoners who are transferred to transitional control	11296
status under this section in accordance with the rules and the	11297
provisions of this division. All passes issued under this	11298

parole and community services the reasonable expenses incurred by	11307
the division in supervising or confining the prisoner while under	11308
transitional control. Inability to pay those reasonable expenses	11309
shall not be grounds for refusing to transfer an otherwise	11310
eligible prisoner to transitional control. Amounts received by	11311
the division of parole and community services under this division	11312
shall be deposited into the transitional control fund, which is	11313
hereby created in the state treasury and which hereby replaces and	11314

fund on the effective date of this amendmentMarch 17, 1998, shall	11317
be transferred on that date to the transitional control fund. The	11318
transitional control fund shall be used solely to pay costs	11319
related to the operation of the transitional control program	11320
established under this section. The director of rehabilitation	11321
and correction shall adopt rules in accordance with section 111.15	11322
of the Revised Code for the use of the fund.	11323

(F) A prisoner who violates any rule established by the	11324
department of rehabilitation and correction under division (A),	11325

(A), (C), or (D) of this section, but the prisoner shall receive	11328
credit towards completing the prisoner's sentence for the time	11329
spent under transitional control.	11330

board that the person no longer is addicted to the use of	11749
controlled substances.	11750

license, certificate, or evidence of registration determines that	11752
there is clear and convincing evidence that continuation of the	11753
person's professional practice or method of prescribing or	11754
personally furnishing controlled substances presents a danger of	11755
immediate and serious harm to others, the board may suspend the	11756
person's license, certificate, or registration without a hearing.	11757
Except as otherwise provided in sections 4715.30, 4723.281,	11758

jurisdiction that is essentially the same as a felony drug abuse	11777
offense; or a finding by a court of the person's eligibility for	11778
treatment or intervention in lieu of conviction in another	11779
jurisdiction. The board shall notify the holder of the license,	11780

abuse offense, the court, in determining whether to suspend	11797
sentence or place the person on probationunder a community	11798
control sanction pursuant to section 2929.25 of the Revised Code,	11799
shall take into consideration whether the person truthfully has	11800

person to a requested period of intervention.	11824

convicted individual would hold;	11914

(2) The nature and seriousness of the offense;

11915

(3) The circumstances under which the offense occurred;

received, acquisition of additional academic or vocational	11926
schooling, successful participation in correctional work release	11927
programs, or the recommendation of persons who have or have had	11928
the applicant under their supervision;	11929

in the disclosure statement or shown by the investigation to have	11956
a beneficial interest in the business of the applicant other than	11957
an equity interest or debt liability are of such magnitude that	11958
they prevent making the finding required under division (A) of	11959
this section, provided that at the request of the applicant or the	11960

show cause why the person's driver's or commercial driver's	12319
license or permit or nonresident operating privileges should not	12320
be suspended.	12321

(C)(1) Any person against whom at least two but less than	12322
twelve points have been charged under section 4510.036 of the	12323
Revised Code may enroll in a course of remedial driving	12324
instruction that is approved by the director of public safety.	12325
Upon the person's completion of an approved course of remedial	12326
driving instruction, the person may apply to the registrar on a	12327
form prescribed by the registrar for a credit of two points on the	12328
person's driving record. Upon receipt of the application and	12329
proof of completion of the approved remedial driving course, the	12330
registrar shall approve the two-point credit. The registrar shall	12331
not approve any credits for a person who completes an approved	12332
course of remedial driving instruction pursuant to a judge's order	12333
under section 4510.02 of the Revised Code.	12334

(2) In any three-year period, the registrar shall approve	12335
only one two-point credit on a person's driving record under	12336
division (C)(1) of this section. The registrar shall approve not	12337
more than five two-point credits on a person's driving record	12338
under division (C)(1) of this section during that person's	12339

(D) When a judge of a court of record suspends a person's	12341
driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident	12342
operating privilege and charges points against the person under	12343
section 4510.036 of the Revised Code for the offense that resulted	12344
in the suspension, the registrar shall credit that period of	12345
suspension against the time of any subsequent suspension imposed	12346
under this section for which those points were used to impose the	12347
subsequent suspension. When a United States district court that	12348
has jurisdiction within this state suspends a person's driver's or	12349
commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating	12350
privileges pursuant to the "Assimilative Crimes Act," 102 Stat.	12351
4381 (1988), 18 U.S.C.A. 13, as amended, the district court	12352
prepares an abstract pursuant to section 4510.031 of the Revised	12353
Code, and the district court charges points against the person	12354
under section 4510.036 of the Revised Code for the offense that	12355
resulted in the suspension, the registrar shall credit the period	12356
of suspension imposed by the district court against the time of	12357
any subsequent suspension imposed under this section for which the	12358
points were used to impose the subsequent suspension.	12359

(E) The registrar, upon the written request of a licensee	12360
who files a petition under division (B) of this section, shall	12361
furnish the licensee a certified copy of the registrar's record of	12362
the convictions and bond forfeitures of the person. This record	12363
shall include the name, address, and date of birth of the	12364
licensee; the name of the court in which each conviction or bail	12365
forfeiture took place; the nature of the offense that was the	12366
basis of the conviction or bond forfeiture; and any other	12367
information that the registrar considers necessary. If the record	12368
indicates that twelve points or more have been charged against the	12369
person within a two-year period, it is prima-facie evidence that	12370
the person is a repeat traffic offender, and the registrar shall	12371
suspend the person's driver's or commercial driver's license or	12372
permit or nonresident operating privilege pursuant to division (B)	12373
of this section.	12374

In hearing the petition and determining whether the person	12375
filing the petition has shown cause why the person's driver's or	12376
commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating	12377
privilege should not be suspended, the court shall decide the	12378
issue on the record certified by the registrar and any additional	12379
relevant, competent, and material evidence that either the	12380
registrar or the person whose license is sought to be suspended	12381
submits.	12382

(F) If a petition is filed under division (B) of this	12383
section in a county court, the prosecuting attorney of the county	12384
in which the case is pending shall represent the registrar in the	12385
proceedings, except that, if the petitioner resides in a municipal	12386
corporation within the jurisdiction of the county court, the city	12387
director of law, village solicitor, or other chief legal officer	12388
of the municipal corporation shall represent the registrar in the	12389
proceedings. If a petition is filed under division (B) of this	12390
section in a municipal court, the registrar shall be represented	12391
in the resulting proceedings as provided in section 1901.34 of the	12392
Revised Code.	12393

(G) If the court determines from the evidence submitted that	12394
a person who filed a petition under division (B) of this section	12395
has failed to show cause why the person's driver's or commercial	12396
driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privileges	12397
should not be suspended, the court shall assess against the person	12398
the cost of the proceedings in the appeal of the determination	12399
and suspension and shall impose the applicable suspension under	12400
this section or suspend all or a portion of the suspension and	12401
impose any conditions or probation upon the person that the court	12402
considers proper or impose upon the person a community control	12403
sanction pursuant to section 2929.15 or 2929.25 of the Revised	12404
Code. If the court determines from the evidence submitted that a	12405
person who filed a petition under division (B) of this section has	12406
shown cause why the person's driver's or commercial driver's	12407
license or permit or nonresident operating privileges should not	12408
be suspended, the costs of the appeal proceeding shall be paid out	12409
of the county treasury of the county in which the proceedings were	12410
held.	12411

(H) Any person whose driver's or commercial driver's license	12412
or permit or nonresident operating privileges are suspended under	12413
this section is not entitled to apply for or receive a new	12414
driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or to request or	12415
be granted nonresident operating privileges during the effective	12416
period of the suspension.	12417

(I) Upon the termination of any suspension or other penalty	12418
imposed under this section involving the surrender of license or	12419
permit and upon the request of the person whose license or permit	12420
was suspended or surrendered, the registrar shall return the	12421
license or permit to the person upon determining that the person	12422
has complied with all provisions of section 4510.038 of the	12423
Revised Code or, if the registrar destroyed the license or permit	12424
pursuant to section 4510.52 of the Revised Code, shall reissue the	12425
person's license or permit.	12426

(J) Any person whose driver's or commercial driver's license	12427
or permit or nonresident operating privileges are suspended as a	12428
repeat traffic offender under this section and who, during the	12429
suspension, operates any motor vehicle upon any public roads and	12430
highways is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, and the	12431
court shall sentence the offender to a minimum term of three days	12432
in jail. No court shall suspend the first three days of jail time	12433
imposed pursuant to this division.	12434

driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privilege has	12440
been suspended under section 4511.19, 4511.191, or 4511.196 of the	12441
Revised Code or under section 4510.07 of the Revised Code for a	12442
conviction of a violation of a municipal OVI ordinance shall	12443
operate any motor vehicle upon the public roads or highways within	12444
this state during the period of the suspension.	12445

(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of driving under	12446
OVI suspension. The court shall sentence the offender under	12447
Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code, subject to the differences	12448

this division shall not exceed six months. If the court imposes a	12460
mandatory three-day jail term under this division, the court may	12461
impose a jail term in addition to that term, provided that in no	12462
case shall the cumulative jail term imposed for the offense exceed	12463
six months.	12464

(b) A fine of not less than two hundred fifty and not more	12465
than one thousand dollars;	12466

days of the date of sentencing, the court issues a written finding	12531
on the record that, due to the unavailability of space at the jail	12532

for room and board and for the expense of providing employment to	14813

entry, may delegate any investigation powers of the commissioner	15245

highest court to which the appeal is taken or if the employee does	15286
not file a timely appeal, the commissioner shall revoke the	15287
delegation of investigation powers to that employee. If the	15288
employee files an appeal that results in that employee's acquittal	15289
of the felony or conviction of a misdemeanor, or in the dismissal	15290
of the felony charge against that employee, the commissioner shall	15291
reinstate the delegation of investigation powers to that employee.	15292

this section. An employee to whom the delegation of investigation	15296
powers is reinstated under division (C)(2)(b) of this section	15297
shall not receive any back pay for the exercise of those	15298
investigation powers unless that employee's conviction of the	15299

police or an employee who is reinstated as an Ohio veterans' home	15344
police officer under division (B)(2)(b) of this section shall not	15345
receive any back pay unless the conviction of that chief of police	15346
or that employee of the felony was reversed on appeal, or the	15347
felony charge was dismissed, because the court found insufficient	15348
evidence to convict the chief of police or the employee of the	15349

privileges will become effective, the purposes for which the	15643
person may drive, the times and places at which the person may	15644
