BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

       Section 1. That sections 2151.28, 2151.35, 2152.19, 2152.21,10
2705.05, and 4511.99 be amended and sections 4511.741 and 5579.1111
of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:12

       Sec. 2151.28.  (A) No later than seventy-two hours after the13
complaint is filed, the court shall fix a time for an adjudicatory14
hearing. The court shall conduct the adjudicatory hearing within15
one of the following periods of time:16

       (1) Subject to division (D) of section 2152.13 of the17
Revised Code, if the complaint alleged that the child violated18
section 2151.87 of the Revised Code or is a delinquent or unruly19
child or a juvenile traffic offender, the adjudicatory hearing20
shall be held and may be continued in accordance with the Juvenile21
Rules.22

       (2) If the complaint alleged that the child is an abused,23
neglected, or dependent child, the adjudicatory hearing shall be24
held no later than thirty days after the complaint is filed,25
except that, for good cause shown, the court may continue the26
adjudicatory hearing for either of the following periods of time:27

       (a) For ten days beyond the thirty-day deadline to allow any28
party to obtain counsel;29

       (b) For a reasonable period of time beyond the thirty-day30
deadline to obtain service on all parties or any necessary31
evaluation, except that the adjudicatory hearing shall not be held32
later than sixty days after the date on which the complaint was33
filed.34

       (B) At an adjudicatory hearing held pursuant to division35
(A)(2) of this section, the court, in addition to determining36
whether the child is an abused, neglected, or dependent child,37
shall determine whether the child should remain or be placed in38
shelter care until the dispositional hearing. When the court39
makes the shelter care determination, all of the following apply:40

       (1) The court shall determine whether there are any41
relatives of the child who are willing to be temporary custodians42
of the child. If any relative is willing to be a temporary43
custodian, the child otherwise would remain or be placed in44
shelter care, and the appointment is appropriate, the court shall45
appoint the relative as temporary custodian of the child, unless46
the court appoints another relative as custodian. If it47
determines that the appointment of a relative as custodian would48
not be appropriate, it shall issue a written opinion setting forth49
the reasons for its determination and give a copy of the opinion50
to all parties and the guardian ad litem of the child.51

       The court's consideration of a relative for appointment as a52
temporary custodian does not make that relative a party to the53
proceedings.54

       (2) The court shall comply with section 2151.419 of the55
Revised Code.56

       (3) The court shall schedule the date for the dispositional57
hearing to be held pursuant to section 2151.35 of the Revised58
Code. The parents of the child have a right to be represented by59
counsel; however, in no case shall the dispositional hearing be60
held later than ninety days after the date on which the complaint61
was filed.62

       (C)(1) The court shall direct the issuance of a summons63
directed to the child except as provided by this section, the64
parents, guardian, custodian, or other person with whom the child65
may be, and any other persons that appear to the court to be66
proper or necessary parties to the proceedings, requiring them to67
appear before the court at the time fixed to answer the68
allegations of the complaint. The summons shall contain the name69
and telephone number of the court employee designated by the court70
pursuant to section 2151.314 of the Revised Code to arrange for71
the prompt appointment of counsel for indigent persons. A child72
alleged to be an abused, neglected, or dependent child shall not73
be summoned unless the court so directs. A summons issued for a74
child who is under fourteen years of age and who is alleged to be75
a delinquent child, unruly child, or a juvenile traffic offender76
shall be served on the parent, guardian, or custodian of the child77
in the child's behalf.78

       If the person who has physical custody of the child, or with79
whom the child resides, is other than the parent or guardian, then80
the parents and guardian also shall be summoned. A copy of the81
complaint shall accompany the summons.82

       (2) In lieu of appearing before the court at the time fixed83
in the summons and prior to the date fixed for appearance in the84
summons, a child who is alleged to have violated section 2151.8785
of the Revised Code and that child's parent, guardian, or86
custodian may sign a waiver of appearance before the clerk of the87
juvenile court and pay a fine of one hundred dollars. If the88
child and that child's parent, guardian, or custodian do not waive89
the court appearance, the court shall proceed with the90
adjudicatory hearing as provided in this section.91

       (D) If the complaint contains a prayer for permanent92
custody, temporary custody, whether as the preferred or an93
alternative disposition, or a planned permanent living arrangement94
in a case involving an alleged abused, neglected, or dependent95
child, the summons served on the parents shall contain as is96
appropriate an explanation that the granting of permanent custody97
permanently divests the parents of their parental rights and98
privileges, an explanation that an adjudication that the child is99
an abused, neglected, or dependent child may result in an order of100
temporary custody that will cause the removal of the child from101
their legal custody until the court terminates the order of102
temporary custody or permanently divests the parents of their103
parental rights, or an explanation that the issuance of an order104
for a planned permanent living arrangement will cause the removal105
of the child from the legal custody of the parents if any of the106
conditions listed in divisions (A)(5)(a) to (c) of section107
2151.353 of the Revised Code are found to exist.108

       (E)(1) Except as otherwise provided in divisiondivisions109
(E)(2) and (3) of this section, the court may endorse upon the110
summons an order directing the parents, guardian, or other person111
with whom the child may be to appear personally at the hearing and112
directing the person having the physical custody or control of the113
child to bring the child to the hearing.114

       (2) In cases in which the complaint alleges that a child is115
an unruly or delinquent child for being an habitual or chronic116
truant and that the parent, guardian, or other person having care117
of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at school,118
the court shall endorse upon the summons an order directing the119
parent, guardian, or other person having care of the child to120
appear personally at the hearing and directing the person having121
the physical custody or control of the child to bring the child to122
the hearing.123

       (3) In cases in which the complaint alleges that a child124
previously has been adjudicated a delinquent child for having125
committed a violation of section 4511.741 of the Revised Code or a126
substantially similar municipal ordinance and also alleges that127
the child again has committed a violation of section 4511.741 of128
the Revised Code or a substantially similar municipal ordinance129
and that the parent, guardian, or other person having care of the130
child failed to prevent the latest violation, the court shall131
endorse upon the summons an order directing the parent, guardian,132
or other person having care of the child to appear personally at133
the hearing and directing the person having the physical custody134
or control of the child to bring the child to the hearing.135

       (F)(1) The summons shall contain a statement advising that136
any party is entitled to counsel in the proceedings and that the137
court will appoint counsel or designate a county public defender138
or joint county public defender to provide legal representation if139
the party is indigent.140

       (2) In cases in which the complaint alleges a child to be an141
abused, neglected, or dependent child and no hearing has been142
conducted pursuant to division (A) of section 2151.314 of the143
Revised Code with respect to the child or a parent, guardian, or144
custodian of the child does not attend the hearing, the summons145
also shall contain a statement advising that a case plan may be146
prepared for the child, the general requirements usually contained147
in case plans, and the possible consequences of failure to comply148
with a journalized case plan.149

       (G) If it appears from an affidavit filed or from sworn150
testimony before the court that the conduct, condition, or151
surroundings of the child are endangering the child's health or152
welfare or those of others, that the child may abscond or be153
removed from the jurisdiction of the court, or that the child will154
not be brought to the court, notwithstanding the service of the155
summons, the court may endorse upon the summons an order that a156
law enforcement officer serve the summons and take the child into157
immediate custody and bring the child forthwith to the court.158

       (H) A party, other than the child, may waive service of159
summons by written stipulation.160

       (I) Before any temporary commitment is made permanent, the161
court shall fix a time for hearing in accordance with section162
2151.414 of the Revised Code and shall cause notice by summons to163
be served upon the parent or guardian of the child and the164
guardian ad litem of the child, or published, as provided in165
section 2151.29 of the Revised Code. The summons shall contain an166
explanation that the granting of permanent custody permanently167
divests the parents of their parental rights and privileges.168

       (J) Any person whose presence is considered necessary and169
who is not summoned may be subpoenaed to appear and testify at the170
hearing. Anyone summoned or subpoenaed to appear who fails to do171
so may be punished, as in other cases in the court of common172
pleas, for contempt of court. Persons subpoenaed shall be paid173
the same witness fees as are allowed in the court of common pleas.174

       (K) The failure of the court to hold an adjudicatory hearing175
within any time period set forth in division (A)(2) of this176
section does not affect the ability of the court to issue any177
order under this chapter and does not provide any basis for178
attacking the jurisdiction of the court or the validity of any179
order of the court.180

       (L) If the court, at an adjudicatory hearing held pursuant181
to division (A) of this section upon a complaint alleging that a182
child is an abused, neglected, dependent, delinquent, or unruly183
child or a juvenile traffic offender, determines that the child is184
a dependent child, the court shall incorporate that determination185
into written findings of fact and conclusions of law and enter186
those findings of fact and conclusions of law in the record of the187
case. The court shall include in those findings of fact and188
conclusions of law specific findings as to the existence of any189
danger to the child and any underlying family problems that are190
the basis for the court's determination that the child is a191
dependent child.192

       Sec. 2151.35.  (A)(1) Except as otherwise provided by193
division (A)(3) of this section or in section 2152.13 of the194
Revised Code, the juvenile court may conduct its hearings in an195
informal manner and may adjourn its hearings from time to time.196
The court may exclude the general public from its hearings in a197
particular case if the court holds a separate hearing to determine198
whether that exclusion is appropriate. If the court decides that199
exclusion of the general public is appropriate, the court still200
may admit to a particular hearing or all of the hearings relating201
to a particular case those persons who have a direct interest in202
the case and those who demonstrate that their need for access203
outweighs the interest in keeping the hearing closed.204

       Except cases involving children who are alleged to be unruly205
or delinquent children for being habitual or chronic truants and206
cases involving children who are alleged to be delinquent children207
for having committed a violation of section 4511.741 of the208
Revised Code or a substantially similar municipal ordinance and209
who previously have been adjudicated delinquent for having210
committed such a violation and except as otherwise provided in211
section 2152.13 of the Revised Code, all cases involving children212
shall be heard separately and apart from the trial of cases213
against adults. The court may excuse the attendance of the child214
at the hearing in cases involving abused, neglected, or dependent215
children. The court shall hear and determine all cases of216
children without a jury, except cases involving serious youthful217
offenders under section 2152.13 of the Revised Code.218

       If a complaint alleges a child to be a delinquent child,219
unruly child, or juvenile traffic offender, the court shall220
require the parent, guardian, or custodian of the child to attend221
all proceedings of the court regarding the child. If a parent,222
guardian, or custodian fails to so attend, the court may find the223
parent, guardian, or custodian in contempt.224

       If the court finds from clear and convincing evidence that225
the child violated section 2151.87 of the Revised Code, the court226
shall proceed in accordance with divisions (F) and (G) of that227
section.228

       If the court at the adjudicatory hearing finds from clear and229
convincing evidence that the child is an abused, neglected, or230
dependent child, the court shall proceed, in accordance with231
division (B) of this section, to hold a dispositional hearing and232
hear the evidence as to the proper disposition to be made under233
section 2151.353 of the Revised Code. If the court at the234
adjudicatory hearing finds beyond a reasonable doubt that the235
child is a delinquent or unruly child or a juvenile traffic236
offender, the court shall proceed immediately, or at a postponed237
hearing, to hear the evidence as to the proper disposition to be238
made under section 2151.354 or Chapter 2152. of the Revised Code. 239
If the court at the adjudicatory hearing finds beyond a reasonable240
doubt that the child is an unruly child for being an habitual241
truant, or that the child is an unruly child for being an habitual242
truant and that the parent, guardian, or other person having care243
of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at school244
in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, the court245
shall proceed to hold a hearing to hear the evidence as to the246
proper disposition to be made in regard to the child under247
division (C)(1) of section 2151.354 of the Revised Code and the248
proper action to take in regard to the parent, guardian, or other249
person having care of the child under division (C)(2) of section250
2151.354 of the Revised Code. If the court at the adjudicatory251
hearing finds beyond a reasonable doubt that the child is a252
delinquent child for being a chronic truant or for being an253
habitual truant who previously has been adjudicated an unruly254
child for being an habitual truant, or that the child is a255
delinquent child for either of those reasons and the parent,256
guardian, or other person having care of the child has failed to257
cause the child's attendance at school in violation of section258
3321.38 of the Revised Code, the court shall proceed to hold a259
hearing to hear the evidence as to the proper disposition to be260
made in regard to the child under division (A)(6)(a) of section261
2152.19 of the Revised Code and the proper action to take in262
regard to the parent, guardian, or other person having care of the263
child under division (A)(6)(b) of section 2152.19 of the Revised264
Code.265

       If the court at the adjudicatory hearing finds beyond a266
reasonable doubt that the child is a delinquent child for having267
committed a violation of section 4511.741 of the Revised Code or a268
substantially similar municipal ordinance and also finds by a269
preponderance of the evidence that the child previously was270
adjudicated delinquent for having committed such a violation and271
that the parent, guardian, or other person having care of the272
child failed to prevent the latest such violation, the court shall273
order disposition to be made in regard to the child in accordance274
with section 2152.19 of the Revised Code. The court also shall275
find the parent, guardian, or other person having care of the276
child in contempt of the court order issued under that section and277
shall fine the parent, guardian, or other person having care of278
the child the amount specified in section 2152.19 of the Revised279
Code.280

       If the court does not find the child to have violated section281
2151.87 of the Revised Code or to be an abused, neglected,282
dependent, delinquent, or unruly child or a juvenile traffic283
offender, it shall order that the case be dismissed and that the284
child be discharged from any detention or restriction theretofore285
ordered.286

       (2) A record of all testimony and other oral proceedings in287
juvenile court shall be made in all proceedings that are held288
pursuant to section 2151.414 of the Revised Code or in which an289
order of disposition may be made pursuant to division (A)(4) of290
section 2151.353 of the Revised Code, and shall be made upon291
request in any other proceedings. The record shall be made as292
provided in section 2301.20 of the Revised Code.293

       (3) The authority of a juvenile court to exclude the general294
public from its hearings that is provided by division (A)(1) of295
this section does not limit or affect any right of a victim of a296
crime or delinquent act, or of a victim's representative, under297
Chapter 2930. of the Revised Code.298

       (B)(1) If the court at an adjudicatory hearing determines299
that a child is an abused, neglected, or dependent child, the300
court shall not issue a dispositional order until after the court301
holds a separate dispositional hearing. The court may hold the302
dispositional hearing for an adjudicated abused, neglected, or303
dependent child immediately after the adjudicatory hearing if all304
parties were served prior to the adjudicatory hearing with all305
documents required for the dispositional hearing. The306
dispositional hearing may not be held more than thirty days after307
the adjudicatory hearing is held. The court, upon the request of308
any party or the guardian ad litem of the child, may continue a309
dispositional hearing for a reasonable time not to exceed the time310
limits set forth in this division to enable a party to obtain or311
consult counsel. The dispositional hearing shall not be held more312
than ninety days after the date on which the complaint in the case313
was filed.314

       If the dispositional hearing is not held within the period of315
time required by this division, the court, on its own motion or316
the motion of any party or the guardian ad litem of the child,317
shall dismiss the complaint without prejudice.318

       (2) The dispositional hearing shall be conducted in319
accordance with all of the following:320

       (a) The judge or referee who presided at the adjudicatory321
hearing shall preside, if possible, at the dispositional hearing;322

       (b) The court may admit any evidence that is material and323
relevant, including, but not limited to, hearsay, opinion, and324
documentary evidence;325

       (c) Medical examiners and each investigator who prepared a326
social history shall not be cross-examined, except upon consent of327
the parties, for good cause shown, or as the court in its328
discretion may direct. Any party may offer evidence329
supplementing, explaining, or disputing any information contained330
in the social history or other reports that may be used by the331
court in determining disposition.332

       (3) After the conclusion of the dispositional hearing, the333
court shall enter an appropriate judgment within seven days and334
shall schedule the date for the hearing to be held pursuant to335
section 2151.415 of the Revised Code. The court may make any336
order of disposition that is set forth in section 2151.353 of the337
Revised Code. A copy of the judgment shall be given to each party338
and to the child's guardian ad litem. If the judgment is339
conditional, the order shall state the conditions of the judgment.340
If the child is not returned to the child's own home, the court341
shall determine which school district shall bear the cost of the342
child's education and shall comply with section 2151.36 of the343
Revised Code.344

       (4) As part of its dispositional order, the court may issue345
any order described in division (B) of section 2151.33 of the346
Revised Code.347

       (C) The court shall give all parties to the action and the348
child's guardian ad litem notice of the adjudicatory and349
dispositional hearings in accordance with the Juvenile Rules.350

       (D) If the court issues an order pursuant to division (A)(4)351
of section 2151.353 of the Revised Code committing a child to the352
permanent custody of a public children services agency or a353
private child placing agency, the parents of the child whose354
parental rights were terminated cease to be parties to the action355
upon the issuance of the order. This division is not intended to356
eliminate or restrict any right of the parents to appeal the357
permanent custody order issued pursuant to division (A)(4) of358
section 2151.353 of the Revised Code.359

       (E) Each juvenile court shall schedule its hearings in360
accordance with the time requirements of this chapter.361

       (F) In cases regarding abused, neglected, or dependent362
children, the court may admit any statement of a child that the363
court determines to be excluded by the hearsay rule if the364
proponent of the statement informs the adverse party of the365
proponent's intention to offer the statement and of the366
particulars of the statement, including the name of the declarant,367
sufficiently in advance of the hearing to provide the party with a368
fair opportunity to prepare to challenge, respond to, or defend369
against the statement, and the court determines all of the370
following:371

       (1) The statement has circumstantial guarantees of372
trustworthiness;373

       (2) The statement is offered as evidence of a material fact;374

       (3) The statement is more probative on the point for which375
it is offered than any other evidence that the proponent can376
procure through reasonable efforts;377

       (4) The general purposes of the evidence rules and the378
interests of justice will best be served by the admission of the379
statement into evidence.380

       (G) If a child is alleged to be an abused child, the court381
may order that the testimony of the child be taken by deposition.382
On motion of the prosecuting attorney, guardian ad litem, or any383
party, or in its own discretion, the court may order that the384
deposition be videotaped. Any deposition taken under this385
division shall be taken with a judge or referee present.386

       If a deposition taken under this division is intended to be387
offered as evidence at the hearing, it shall be filed with the388
court. Part or all of the deposition is admissible in evidence if389
counsel for all parties had an opportunity and similar motive at390
the time of the taking of the deposition to develop the testimony391
by direct, cross, or redirect examination and the judge determines392
that there is reasonable cause to believe that if the child were393
to testify in person at the hearing, the child would experience394
emotional trauma as a result of participating at the hearing.395

       Sec. 2152.19.  (A) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent396
child, the court may make any of the following orders of397
disposition, in addition to any other disposition authorized or398
required by this chapter:399

       (1) Any order that is authorized by section 2151.353 of the400
Revised Code for the care and protection of an abused, neglected,401
or dependent child.402

       (2) Commit the child to the temporary custody of any school,403
camp, institution, or other facility operated for the care of404
delinquent children by the county, by a district organized under405
section 2152.41 or 2151.65 of the Revised Code, or by a private406
agency or organization, within or without the state, that is407
authorized and qualified to provide the care, treatment, or408
placement required;409

       (3) Place the child on community control under any410
sanctions, services, and conditions that the court prescribes. As411
a condition of community control in every case and in addition to412
any other condition that it imposes upon the child, the court413
shall require the child to abide by the law during the period of414
community control. As referred to in this division, community415
control includes, but is not limited to, the following sanctions416
and conditions:417

       (a) A period of basic probation supervision in which the418
child is required to maintain contact with a person appointed to419
supervise the child in accordance with sanctions imposed by the420
court;421

       (b) A period of intensive probation supervision in which the422
child is required to maintain frequent contact with a person423
appointed by the court to supervise the child while the child is424
seeking or maintaining employment and participating in training,425
education, and treatment programs as the order of disposition;426

       (c) A period of day reporting in which the child is required427
each day to report to and leave a center or another approved428
reporting location at specified times in order to participate in429
work, education or training, treatment, and other approved430
programs at the center or outside the center;431

       (d) A period of community service of up to five hundred432
hours for an act that would be a felony or a misdemeanor of the433
first degree if committed by an adult, up to two hundred hours for434
an act that would be a misdemeanor of the second, third, or fourth435
degree if committed by an adult, or up to thirty hours for an act436
that would be a minor misdemeanor if committed by an adult;437

       (e) A requirement that the child obtain a high school438
diploma, a certificate of high school equivalence, vocational439
training, or employment;440

       (f) A period of drug and alcohol use monitoring;441

       (g) A requirement of alcohol or drug assessment or442
counseling, or a period in an alcohol or drug treatment program443
with a level of security for the child as determined necessary by444
the court;445

       (h) A period in which the court orders the child to observe446
a curfew that may involve daytime or evening hours;447

       (i) A requirement that the child serve monitored time;448

       (j) A period of house arrest with or without electronic449
monitoring;450

       (k) A period of electronic monitoring without house arrest or451
electronically monitored house arrest that does not exceed the452
maximum sentence of imprisonment that could be imposed upon an453
adult who commits the same act.454

       A period of electronically monitored house arrest imposed455
under this division shall not extend beyond the child's456

mediation program;503

       (ii) Make any order of disposition as authorized by this504

pursuant to division (C)(1)(e) of section 2151.354 of the Revised508
Code or division (A)(5) of this section.509

       (b) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a510

parent, guardian, or other person having care of the child that in536
any subsequent adjudication of the child as a delinquent child for537
again committing a violation of section 4511.741 of the Revised538
Code or a substantially similar municipal ordinance, the court 539
will be required to impose a fine of not more than twenty thousand 540

       (2) The child is adjudicated a delinquent child for595
committing an act that if committed by an adult would be a drug596

the Revised Code, with the suspension continuing until the child598
attends and satisfactorily completes a drug abuse or alcohol abuse599
education, intervention, or treatment program specified by the600

program in which victims and their offenders meet to discuss the607
offense and suggest possible restitution. If the court obtains608
the assent of the victim of the delinquent act committed by the609
child, the court may require the child to participate in the610
program.611

       (D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for612

order of disposition to issue for the child.623

delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the638
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's639
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact640
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to641

chronic truant or an habitual truant who previously has been653
adjudicated an unruly child for being an habitual truant and the654
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having655
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at656
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in657
addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section,658
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having659
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as660
an unruly or delinquent child for being an habitual or chronic661
truant may result in a criminal charge against the parent,662
guardian, or other person having care of the child for a violation663
of division (C) of section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the664
Revised Code.665

control granted under this section, authorized probation officers667
who are engaged within the scope of their supervisory duties or668
responsibilities may search, with or without a warrant, the person669
of the delinquent child, the place of residence of the delinquent670
child, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or intangible671
personal property, or other real property in which the delinquent672
child has a right, title, or interest or for which the delinquent673
child has the express or implied permission of a person with a674
right, title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the675
probation officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the676
delinquent child is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not677
complying with the conditions of the delinquent child's community678
control. The court that places a delinquent child on community679
control under this section shall provide the delinquent child with680
a written notice that informs the delinquent child that authorized681
probation officers who are engaged within the scope of their682
supervisory duties or responsibilities may conduct those types of683
searches during the period of community control if they have684
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is not685
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the686
conditions of the delinquent child's community control. The court687
also shall provide the written notice described in division (E)(2)688
of this section to each parent, guardian, or custodian of the689
delinquent child who is described in that division.690

       (2) The court that places a child on community control under691
this section shall provide the child's parent, guardian, or other692
custodian with a written notice that informs them that authorized693
probation officers may conduct searches pursuant to division694
(E)(1) of this section. The notice shall specifically state that695
a permissible search might extend to a motor vehicle, another item696
of tangible or intangible personal property, or a place of697
residence or other real property in which a notified parent,698
guardian, or custodian has a right, title, or interest and that699
the parent, guardian, or custodian expressly or impliedly permits700
the child to use, occupy, or possess.701

       (G) If a juvenile court commits a delinquent child to the702
custody of any person, organization, or entity pursuant to this703
section and if the delinquent act for which the child is so704
committed is a sexually oriented offense, the court in the order705
of disposition shall inform the person, organization, or entity706
that it is the preferred course of action in this state that the707
child be provided treatment as described in division (A)(2) of708
section 5139.13 of the Revised Code and shall encourage the709
person, organization, or entity to provide that treatment.710

       Sec.  2152.21.  (A) Unless division (C) of this section711

whose license or permit is so suspended is ineligible for issuance720
of a license or permit during the period of suspension. At the721

license or permit until the child has paid any applicable723
reinstatement fee and complied with all requirements governing724
license reinstatement.725

       (6) If, after making a disposition under divisions (A)(1) to751
(5) of this section, the court finds upon further hearing that the752
child has failed to comply with the orders of the court and the753
child's operation of a motor vehicle constitutes the child a754

disposition authorized by divisions (A)(1), (3), (4), and (7)(8)756
of section 2152.19 of the Revised Code, except that the child may757

imposed pursuant to this division shall be paid to the political895
subdivision that pays the cost of housing the offender during the896
offender's term of incarceration to the credit of the fund that897

and to pay for ignition interlock devices and electronic house907
arrest equipment for persons who violate that section. 908
