has no jurisdiction.	119

(D) The juvenile court, except as provided in division (I)	120

(F)(1) The juvenile court shall exercise its jurisdiction in	132
child custody matters in accordance with sections 3109.04, 3109.21	133

(2) The juvenile court shall exercise its jurisdiction in	135

(G) Any juvenile court that makes or modifies an order for	138

15, 1985, or modified on or after December 1, 1986, is found in	142
contempt of court for failure to make support payments under the	143

penalty or remedy imposed, shall assess all court costs arising	145

offense if committed by an adult was fourteen years of age or	151
older and under eighteen years of age at the time of the alleged	152
act and if the case is transferred for criminal prosecution	153
pursuant to section 2152.12 of the Revised Code, the juvenile	154
court does not have jurisdiction to hear or determine the case	155
subsequent to the transfer. The court to which the case is	156
transferred for criminal prosecution pursuant to that section has	157
jurisdiction subsequent to the transfer to hear and determine the	158
case in the same manner as if the case originally had been	159
commenced in that court, including, but not limited to,	160
jurisdiction to accept a plea of guilty or another plea authorized	161
by Criminal Rule 11 or another section of the Revised Code and	162
jurisdiction to accept a verdict and to enter a judgment of	163
conviction pursuant to the Rules of Criminal Procedure against the	164
child for the commission of the offense that was the basis of the	165
transfer of the case for criminal prosecution, whether the	166
conviction is for the same degree or a lesser degree of the	167
offense charged, for the commission of a lesser-included offense,	168
or for the commission of another offense that is different from	169
the offense charged.	170

(I) If a person under eighteen years of age allegedly	171
commits an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult and	172
if the person is not taken into custody or apprehended for that	173
act until after the person attains twenty-one years of age, the	174
juvenile court does not have jurisdiction to hear or determine any	175
portion of the case charging the person with committing that act.	176
In those circumstances, divisions (A) and (B) of section 2152.12	177
of the Revised Code do not apply regarding the act, and the case	178
charging the person with committing the act shall be a criminal	179
prosecution commenced and heard in the appropriate court having	180
jurisdiction of the offense as if the person had been eighteen	181
years of age or older when the person committed the act. All	182
proceedings pertaining to the act shall be within the jurisdiction	183
of the court having jurisdiction of the offense, and that court	184
has all the authority and duties in the case that it has in other	185
criminal cases in that court.	186

(l) A suspension of the driver's license, probationary	428
driver's license, or temporary instruction permit issued to the	429

permit is so suspended is ineligible for issuance of a license or	432
permit during the period of suspension. At the end of the period	433

pursuant to division (C)(1)(e) of section 2151.354 of the Revised	452
Code or division (A)(5) of this section.	453

(b) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a	454
chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been	455

school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, do	459
either or both of the following:	460

(i) Require the parent, guardian, or other person having	461

proper, except that the child shall not be placed in any of the	470
following:	471

(b) A community corrections facility, if the child would be	476
covered by the definition of public safety beds for purposes of	477

exercised its authority to commit the child to the legal custody	479
of the department of youth services for institutionalization or	480
institutionalization in a secure facility pursuant to this	481
chapter.	482

(B) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child, in	483
addition to any order of disposition made under division (A) of	484
this section, the court, in the following situations, shall	485
suspend the child's temporary instruction permit, restricted	486
license, probationary driver's license, or nonresident operating	487
privilege, or suspend the child's ability to obtain such a permit:	488

(1) The child is adjudicated a delinquent child for	489
violating section 2923.122 of the Revised Code, with the	490
suspension and denial being in accordance with division (E)(1)(a),	491
(c), (d), or (e) of section 2923.122 of the Revised Code.	492

(2) The child is adjudicated a delinquent child for	493
committing an act that if committed by an adult would be a drug	494
abuse offense or for violating division (B) of section 2917.11 of	495
the Revised Code, with the suspension continuing until the child	496
attends and satisfactorily completes a drug abuse or alcohol abuse	497
education, intervention, or treatment program specified by the	498
court. During the time the child is attending the program, the	499
court shall retain any temporary instruction permit, probationary	500
driver's license, or driver's license issued to the child, and the	501
court shall return the permit or license when the child	502
satisfactorily completes the program.	503

(C) The court may establish a victim-offender mediation	504
program in which victims and their offenders meet to discuss the	505
offense and suggest possible restitution. If the court obtains	506
the assent of the victim of the delinquent act committed by the	507
child, the court may require the child to participate in the	508
program.	509

(D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for	510
committing an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult	511
and if the child caused, attempted to cause, threatened to cause,	512
or created a risk of physical harm to the victim of the act, the	513
court, prior to issuing an order of disposition under this	514
section, shall order the preparation of a victim impact statement	515
by the probation department of the county in which the victim of	516
the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a	517
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county,	518
a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity. The court	519
shall consider the victim impact statement in determining the	520
order of disposition to issue for the child.	521

(2) Each victim impact statement shall identify the victim	522
of the act for which the child was adjudicated a delinquent child,	523
itemize any economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of	524
the act, identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a	525
result of the act and the seriousness and permanence of the	526
injury, identify any change in the victim's personal welfare or	527
familial relationships as a result of the act and any	528
psychological impact experienced by the victim or the victim's	529
family as a result of the act, and contain any other information	530
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the court	531
requires.	532

(3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and	533
is not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of	534
the statement to the department of youth services if the	535
delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the	536
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's	537
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact	538
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to	539
this section shall be kept confidential and is not a public	540
record. The copies of a victim impact statement that are made	541
available to the adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated	542
delinquent child's counsel and the prosecuting attorney pursuant	543
to this division shall be returned to the court by the person to	544
whom they were made available immediately following the imposition	545
of an order of disposition for the child under this chapter.	546

(4) The department of youth services shall work with local	547
probation departments and victim assistance programs to develop a	548
standard victim impact statement.	549

(E) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a	550
chronic truant or an habitual truant who previously has been	551
adjudicated an unruly child for being an habitual truant and the	552
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having	553
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at	554
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in	555
addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section,	556
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having	557
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as	558
an unruly or delinquent child for being an habitual or chronic	559
truant may result in a criminal charge against the parent,	560
guardian, or other person having care of the child for a violation	561
of division (C) of section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the	562
Revised Code.	563

(F)(1) During the period of a delinquent child's community	564
control granted under this section, authorized probation officers	565
who are engaged within the scope of their supervisory duties or	566
responsibilities may search, with or without a warrant, the person	567
of the delinquent child, the place of residence of the delinquent	568
child, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or intangible	569
personal property, or other real property in which the delinquent	570
child has a right, title, or interest or for which the delinquent	571
child has the express or implied permission of a person with a	572
right, title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the	573
probation officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the	574
delinquent child is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not	575
complying with the conditions of the delinquent child's community	576
control. The court that places a delinquent child on community	577
control under this section shall provide the delinquent child with	578
a written notice that informs the delinquent child that authorized	579
probation officers who are engaged within the scope of their	580
supervisory duties or responsibilities may conduct those types of	581
searches during the period of community control if they have	582
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is not	583
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the	584
conditions of the delinquent child's community control. The court	585
also shall provide the written notice described in division (E)(2)	586
of this section to each parent, guardian, or custodian of the	587
delinquent child who is described in that division.	588

(2) The court that places a child on community control under	589
this section shall provide the child's parent, guardian, or other	590
custodian with a written notice that informs them that authorized	591
probation officers may conduct searches pursuant to division	592
(E)(1) of this section. The notice shall specifically state that	593
a permissible search might extend to a motor vehicle, another item	594
of tangible or intangible personal property, or a place of	595
residence or other real property in which a notified parent,	596
guardian, or custodian has a right, title, or interest and that	597
the parent, guardian, or custodian expressly or impliedly permits	598
the child to use, occupy, or possess.	599

(G) If a juvenile court commits a delinquent child to the	600
custody of any person, organization, or entity pursuant to this	601
section and if the delinquent act for which the child is so	602
committed is a sexually oriented offense, the court in the order	603
of disposition shall inform the person, organization, or entity	604
that it is the preferred course of action in this state that the	605
child be provided treatment as described in division (F) of	606
section 2152.18 of the Revised Code and shall encourage the	607
person, organization, or entity to provide that treatment.	608

Sec. 2152.191.  If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child	609
for committing a sexually oriented offense, if the child is	610
fourteen years of age or older at the time of committing the	611
offense, and if the child committed the offense on or after the	612
effective date of this section, all of the following apply:	613

(A) Sections 2152.82 to 2152.85 and Chapter 2950. of the	614
Revised Code apply to the child and the adjudication.	615

(B) In addition to any order of disposition it makes of the	616
child under this chapter, the court may make any determination,	617
adjudication, or order authorized under sections 2152.82 to	618
2152.85 and Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code and shall make any	619
determination, adjudication, or order required under those	620
sections and that chapter.	621

Sec. 2152.22.  (A) When a child is committed to the legal	622
custody of the department of youth services under this chapter,	623
the juvenile court relinquishes control with respect to the child	624
so committed, except as provided in divisions (B), (C), and (G) of	625
this section or in sections 2152.82 to 2152.85 of the Revised	626
Code. Subject to divisions (B) and (C) of this section, sections	627
2151.353 and 2151.412 to 2151.421 of the Revised Code, sections	628
2152.82 to 2152.85 of the Revised Code, and any other provision of	629
law that specifies a different duration for a dispositional order,	630
all other dispositional orders made by the court under this	631
chapter shall be temporary and shall continue for a period that is	632
designated by the court in its order, until terminated or modified	633
by the court or until the child attains twenty-one years of age.	634

The department shall not release the child from a department	635
facility and as a result shall not discharge the child or order	636
the child's release on supervised release prior to the expiration	637
of the period of court control over the child or prior to the	638
child's attainment of twenty-one years of age, except upon the	639
order of a court pursuant to division (B) or (C) of this section	640
or in accordance with section 5139.54 of the Revised Code.	641

(B)(1) The court that commits a delinquent child to the	642
department may grant judicial release of the child to court	643
supervision under this division, during any of the following	644
periods that are applicable, provided any commitment imposed under	645
division (A), (B), or (C) of section 2152.17 of the Revised Code	646
has ended:	647

(a) If the child was given a disposition under section	648
2152.16 of the Revised Code for committing an act that would be a	649
felony of the third, fourth, or fifth degree if committed by an	650
adult, at any time during the first ninety days of the period of	651
court control over the child;	652

(b) If the child was given a disposition under section	653
2152.13 or 2152.16 of the Revised Code, or both of those sections,	654
for committing an act that would be a felony of the first or	655
second degree if committed by an adult, at any time during the	656
first one hundred eighty days of the period of court control over	657
the child;	658

(c) If the child was committed to the department until the	659
child attains twenty-one years of age for an act that would be	660
aggravated murder or murder if committed by an adult, at any time	661
during the first half of the prescribed period of that commitment	662
of the child.	663

(2) If the department of youth services desires to release a	664
child during a period specified in division (B)(1) of this	665
section, it shall request the court that committed the child to	666
grant a judicial release of the child to court supervision. During	667
whichever of those periods is applicable, the child or the parents	668
of the child also may request that court to grant a judicial	669
release of the child to court supervision. Upon receipt of a	670
request for a judicial release to court supervision from the	671
department, the child, or the child's parent, or upon its own	672
motion, the court that committed the child shall do one of the	673
following: approve the release by journal entry; schedule within	674
thirty days after the request is received a time for a hearing on	675
whether the child is to be released; or reject the request by	676
journal entry without conducting a hearing.	677

If the court rejects an initial request for a release under	678
this division by the child or the child's parent, the child or the	679
child's parent may make one additional request for a judicial	680
release to court supervision within the applicable period. The	681
additional request may be made no earlier than thirty days after	682
the filing of the prior request for a judicial release to court	683
supervision. Upon the filing of a second request for a judicial	684
release to court supervision, the court shall either approve or	685
disapprove the release by journal entry or schedule within thirty	686
days after the request is received a time for a hearing on whether	687
the child is to be released.	688

(3) If a court schedules a hearing under division (B)(2) of	689
this section, it may order the department to deliver the child to	690
the court on the date set for the hearing and may order the	691
department to present to the court a report on the child's	692
progress in the institution to which the child was committed and	693
recommendations for conditions of supervision of the child by the	694
court after release. The court may conduct the hearing without	695
the child being present. The court shall determine at the hearing	696
whether the child should be granted a judicial release to court	697
supervision.	698

If the court approves the release, it shall order its staff	699
to prepare a written treatment and rehabilitation plan for the	700
child that may include any conditions of the child's release that	701
were recommended by the department and approved by the court. The	702
committing court shall send the juvenile court of the county in	703
which the child is placed a copy of the recommended plan. The	704
court of the county in which the child is placed may adopt the	705
recommended conditions set by the committing court as an order of	706
the court and may add any additional consistent conditions it	707
considers appropriate. If a child is granted a judicial release	708
to court supervision, the release discharges the child from the	709
custody of the department of youth services.	710

(C)(1) The court that commits a delinquent child to the	711
department may grant judicial release of the child to department	712
of youth services supervision under this division, during any of	713
the following periods that are applicable, provided any commitment	714
imposed under division (A), (B), or (C) of section 2152.17 of the	715
Revised Code has ended:	716

(a) If the child was given a disposition under section	717
2152.16 of the Revised Code for an act that would be a felony of	718
the third, fourth, or fifth degree if committed by an adult, at	719
any time during the period of court control over the child,	720
provided that at least ninety days of that period have elapsed;	721

(b) If the child was given a disposition under section	722
2152.13 or 2152.16 of the Revised Code, or both of those sections,	723
for an act that would be a felony of the first or second degree if	724
committed by an adult, at any time during the period of court	725
control over the child, provided that at least one hundred eighty	726
days of that period have elapsed;	727

(c) If the child was committed to the department for an act	728
that would be aggravated murder or murder if committed by an adult	729
until the child attains twenty-one years of age, at any time	730
during the second half of the prescribed period of that commitment	731
of the child.	732

(2) If the department of youth services desires to release a	733
child during a period specified in division (C)(1) of this	734
section, it shall request the court that committed the child to	735
grant a judicial release to department of youth services	736
supervision. During whichever of those periods is applicable, the	737
child or the child's parent also may request the court that	738
committed the child to grant a judicial release to department of	739
youth services supervision. Upon receipt of a request for	740
judicial release to department of youth services supervision, the	741
child, or the child's parent, or upon its own motion at any time	742
during that period, the court shall do one of the following:	743
approve the release by journal entry; schedule a time within	744
thirty days after receipt of the request for a hearing on whether	745
the child is to be released; or reject the request by journal	746
entry without conducting a hearing.	747

If the court rejects an initial request for release under	748
this division by the child or the child's parent, the child or the	749
child's parent may make one or more subsequent requests for a	750
release within the applicable period, but may make no more than	751
one request during each period of ninety days that the child is in	752
a secure department facility after the filing of a prior request	753
for early release. Upon the filing of a request for release under	754
this division subsequent to an initial request, the court shall	755
either approve or disapprove the release by journal entry or	756
schedule a time within thirty days after receipt of the request	757
for a hearing on whether the child is to be released.	758

(3) If a court schedules a hearing under division (C)(2) of	759
this section, it may order the department to deliver the child to	760
the court on the date set for the hearing and shall order the	761
department to present to the court at that time a treatment plan	762
for the child's post-institutional care. The court may conduct	763
the hearing without the child being present. The court shall	764
determine at the hearing whether the child should be granted a	765
judicial release to department of youth services supervision.	766

If the court approves the judicial release to department of	767
youth services supervision, the department shall prepare a written	768
treatment and rehabilitation plan for the child pursuant to	769
division (E) of this section that shall include the conditions of	770
the child's release. It shall send the committing court and the	771
juvenile court of the county in which the child is placed a copy	772
of the plan. The court of the county in which the child is placed	773
may adopt the conditions set by the department as an order of the	774
court and may add any additional consistent conditions it	775
considers appropriate, provided that the court may not add any	776
condition that decreases the level or degree of supervision	777
specified by the department in its plan, that substantially	778
increases the financial burden of supervision that will be	779
experienced by the department, or that alters the placement	780
specified by the department in its plan. If the court of the	781
county in which the child is placed adds to the department's plan	782
any additional conditions, it shall enter those additional	783
conditions in its journal and shall send to the department a copy	784
of the journal entry of the additional conditions.	785

If the court approves the judicial release to department of	786
youth services supervision, the actual date on which the	787
department shall release the child is contingent upon the	788
department finding a suitable placement for the child. If the	789
child is to be returned to the child's home, the department shall	790
return the child on the date that the court schedules for the	791
child's release or shall bear the expense of any additional time	792
that the child remains in a department facility. If the child is	793
unable to return to the child's home, the department shall	794
exercise reasonable diligence in finding a suitable placement for	795
the child, and the child shall remain in a department facility	796
while the department finds the suitable placement.	797

(D) If a child is released under division (B) or (C) of this	798
section and the court of the county in which the child is placed	799
has reason to believe that the child's deportment is not in	800
accordance with the conditions of the child's judicial release,	801
the court of the county in which the child is placed shall	802
schedule a time for a hearing to determine whether the child	803
violated any of the post-release conditions, and, if the child was	804
released under division (C) of this section, divisions (A) to (E)	805
of section 5139.52 of the Revised Code apply regarding the child.	806

If that court determines at the hearing that the child	807
violated any of the post-release conditions, the court, if it	808
determines that the violation was a serious violation, may order	809
the child to be returned to the department for	810
institutionalization, consistent with the original order of	811
commitment of the child, or in any case may make any other	812
disposition of the child authorized by law that the court	813
considers proper. If the court of the county in which the child	814
is placed orders the child to be returned to a department of youth	815
services institution, the time during which the child was held in	816
a secure department facility prior to the child's judicial release	817
shall be considered as time served in fulfilling the prescribed	818
period of institutionalization that is applicable to the child	819
under the child's original order of commitment. If the court	820
orders the child returned to a department institution, the child	821
shall remain in institutional care for a minimum of three months	822
or until the child successfully completes a revocation program of	823
a duration of not less than thirty days operated either by the	824
department or by an entity with which the department has	825
contracted to provide a revocation program.	826

(E) The department of youth services, prior to the release	827
of a child pursuant to division (C) of this section, shall do all	828
of the following:	829

(1) After reviewing the child's rehabilitative progress	830
history and medical and educational records, prepare a written	831
treatment and rehabilitation plan for the child that includes	832
conditions of the release;	833

(2) Completely discuss the conditions of the plan prepared	834
pursuant to division (E)(1) of this section and the possible	835
penalties for violation of the plan with the child and the child's	836
parents, guardian, or legal custodian;	837

(3) Have the plan prepared pursuant to division (E)(1) of	838
this section signed by the child, the child's parents, legal	839
guardian, or custodian, and any authority or person that is to	840
supervise, control, and provide supportive assistance to the child	841
at the time of the child's release pursuant to division (C) of	842
this section;	843

(4) Prior to the child's release, file a copy of the	844
treatment plan prepared pursuant to division (E)(1) of this	845
section with the committing court and the juvenile court of the	846
county in which the child is to be placed.	847

(F) The department of youth services shall file a written	848
progress report with the committing court regarding each child	849
released pursuant to division (C) of this section at least once	850
every thirty days unless specifically directed otherwise by the	851
court. The report shall indicate the treatment and rehabilitative	852
progress of the child and the child's family, if applicable, and	853
shall include any suggestions for altering the program, custody,	854
living arrangements, or treatment. The department shall retain	855
legal custody of a child so released until it discharges the child	856
or until the custody is terminated as otherwise provided by law.	857

(G) When a child is committed to the legal custody of the	858
department of youth services, the court retains jurisdiction to	859
perform the functions specified in section 5139.51 of the Revised	860
Code with respect to the granting of supervised release by the	861
release authority and to perform the functions specified in	862
section 5139.52 of the Revised Code with respect to violations of	863
the conditions of supervised release granted by the release	864
authority and to the revocation of supervised release granted by	865
the release authority.	866

Sec. 2152.82. (A) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent	867
child for committing on or after the effective date of this	868
section a sexually oriented offense, the juvenile court judge who	869
adjudicates the child a delinquent child shall issue an order that	870
classifies the child a juvenile sex offender registrant and	871

meaning as in section 2950.01 of the Revised Code.	1035

Sec. 2950.02.  (A) The general assembly hereby determines	1493
and declares that it recognizes and finds all of the following:	1494

(1) If the public is provided adequate notice and	1495
information about sexual predators, habitual sex offenders, and	1496
certain other offenders and delinquent children who commit	1497
sexually oriented offenses, members of the public and communities	1498
can develop constructive plans to prepare themselves and their	1499
children for the sexual predator's, habitual sex offender's, or	1500
other offender's or delinquent child's release from imprisonment,	1501
a prison term, or other confinement or detention. This allows	1502
members of the public and communities to meet with members of law	1503
enforcement agencies to prepare and obtain information about the	1504
rights and responsibilities of the public and the communities and	1505
to provide education and counseling to their children.	1506

(2) Sexual predators and habitual sex offenders pose a high	1507
risk of engaging in further offenses even after being released	1508
from imprisonment, a prison term, or other confinement or	1509
detention and that protection of members of the public from sexual	1510
predators and habitual sex offenders is a paramount governmental	1511
interest.	1512

(3) The penal,juvenile, and mental health components of the	1513
justice system of this state are largely hidden from public view,	1514
and a lack of information from eitherany component may result in	1515
the failure of both systemsthe system to satisfy this paramount	1516
governmental interest of public safety described in division	1517
(A)(2) of this section.	1518

(4) Overly restrictive confidentiality and liability laws	1519
governing the release of information about sexual predators and	1520
habitual sex offenders have reduced the willingness to release	1521
information that could be appropriately released under the public	1522
disclosure laws and have increased risks of public safety.	1523

(5) A person who is found to be a sexual predator or a	1524
habitual sex offender has a reduced expectation of privacy because	1525
of the public's interest in public safety and in the effective	1526
operation of government.	1527

(6) The release of information about sexual predators and	1528
habitual sex offenders to public agencies and the general public	1529
will further the governmental interests of public safety and	1530
public scrutiny of the criminal,juvenile, and mental health	1531
systems as long as the information released is rationally related	1532
to the furtherance of those goals.	1533

(B) The general assembly hereby declares that, in providing	1534
in this chapter for registration regarding sexual predators,	1535
habitual sex offenders, and offenders and certain delinquent	1536
children who have committed sexually oriented offenses and for	1537
community notification regarding sexual predators and habitual sex	1538
offenders who are about to be or have been released from	1539
imprisonment, a prison term, or other confinement or detention and	1540
who will live in or near a particular neighborhood or who	1541
otherwise will live in or near a particular neighborhood, it is	1542
the general assembly's intent to protect the safety and general	1543
welfare of the people of this state. The general assembly further	1544
declares that it is the policy of this state to require the	1545
exchange in accordance with this chapter of relevant information	1546
about sexual predators and habitual sex offenders among public	1547
agencies and officials and to authorize the release in accordance	1548
with this chapter of necessary and relevant information about	1549
sexual predators and habitual sex offenders to members of the	1550
general public as a means of assuring public protection and that	1551
the exchange or release of that information is not punitive.	1552

Sec. 2950.03. (A) Each person who has been convicted of, is	1553
convicted of, has pleaded guilty to, or pleads guilty to a	1554
sexually oriented offense and who has a duty to register pursuant	1555

(3)(4) of this section as to whether an offender or delinquent	2520
child is a sexual predator, the judge shall consider all relevant	2521
factors, including, but not limited to, all of the following:	2522

(a) The offender's or delinquent child's age;

2523

(b) The offender's or delinquent child's prior criminal or	2524
delinquency record regarding all offenses, including, but not	2525
limited to, all sexual offenses;	2526

(c) The age of the victim of the sexually oriented offense	2527
for which sentence is to be imposed or the order of disposition is	2528
to be made;	2529

(d) Whether the sexually oriented offense for which sentence	2530
is to be imposed or the order of disposition is to be made	2531
involved multiple victims;	2532

(e) Whether the offender or delinquent child used drugs or	2533
alcohol to impair the victim of the sexually oriented offense or	2534
to prevent the victim from resisting;	2535

(f) If the offender or delinquent child previously has been	2536
convicted of or pleaded guilty to any, or been adjudicated a	2537
delinquent child for committing an act that if committed by an	2538
adult would be, a criminal offense, whether the offender or	2539
delinquent child completed any sentence or dispositional order	2540
imposed for the prior offense or act and, if the prior offense or	2541
act was a sex offense or a sexually oriented offense, whether the	2542
offender or delinquent child participated in available programs	2543
for sexual offenders;	2544

(g) Any mental illness or mental disability of the offender	2545
or delinquent child;	2546

(h) The nature of the offender's or delinquent child's	2547
sexual conduct, sexual contact, or interaction in a sexual context	2548
with the victim of the sexually oriented offense and whether the	2549
sexual conduct, sexual contact, or interaction in a sexual context	2550
was part of a demonstrated pattern of abuse;	2551

(i) Whether the offender or delinquent child, during the	2552
commission of the sexually oriented offense for which sentence is	2553
to be imposed or the order of disposition is to be made, displayed	2554
cruelty or made one or more threats of cruelty;	2555

(j) Any additional behavioral characteristics that	2556
contribute to the offender's or delinquent child's conduct.	2557

(3)(4) After reviewing all testimony and evidence presented	2558
at the hearing conducted under division (B)(1) of this section and	2559
the factors specified in division (B)(2)(3) of this section, the	2560
judgecourt shall determine by clear and convincing evidence	2561
whether the subject offender or delinquent child is a sexual	2562
predator. If the judgecourt determines that the subject offender	2563
or delinquent child is not a sexual predator, the judgecourt	2564
shall specify in the offender's sentence and the judgment of	2565
conviction that contains the sentence or in the delinquent child's	2566
dispositional order, as appropriate, that the judgecourt has	2567
determined that the offender or delinquent child is not a sexual	2568
predator. If the judgecourt determines by clear and convincing	2569
evidence that the subject offender or delinquent child is a sexual	2570
predator, the judgecourt shall specify in the offender's sentence	2571
and the judgment of conviction that contains the sentence or in	2572
the delinquent child's dispositional order, as appropriate, that	2573
the judgecourt has determined that the offender or delinquent	2574
child is a sexual predator and shall specify that the	2575
determination was pursuant to division (B) of this section. The	2576
offender or delinquent child and the prosecutor who prosecuted the	2577
offender or handled the case against the delinquent child for the	2578
sexually oriented offense in question may appeal as a matter of	2579
right the judge'scourt's determination under this division as to	2580
whether the offender or delinquent child is, or is not, a sexual	2581
predator.	2582

(4)(5) A hearing shall not be conducted under division (B)	2583
of this section regarding an offender if the sexually oriented	2584
offense in question is a sexually violent offense and the	2585
indictment, count in the indictment, or information charging the	2586
offense also included a sexually violent predator specification.	2587

(C)(1) If a person was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a	2588
sexually oriented offense prior to January 1, 1997, if the person	2589
was not sentenced for the offense on or after January 1, 1997, and	2590
if, on or after January 1, 1997, the offender is serving a term of	2591
imprisonment in a state correctional institution, the department	2592
of rehabilitation and correction shall determine whether to	2593
recommend that the offender be adjudicated as being a sexual	2594
predator. In making a determination under this division as to	2595
whether to recommend that the offender be adjudicated as being a	2596
sexual predator, the department shall consider all relevant	2597
factors, including, but not limited to, all of the factors	2598
specified in division (B)(2) of this section. If the department	2599
determines that it will recommend that the offender be adjudicated	2600
as being a sexual predator, it immediately shall send the	2601
recommendation to the court that sentenced the offender and shall	2602
enter its determination and recommendation in the offender's	2603
institutional record, and the court shall proceed in accordance	2604
with division (C)(2) of this section.	2605

(2)(a) If, pursuant to division (C)(1) of this section, the	2606
department of rehabilitation and correction sends to a court a	2607
recommendation that an offender who has been convicted of or	2608
pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense be adjudicated as	2609
being a sexual predator, the court is not bound by the	2610
department's recommendation, and the court may conduct a hearing	2611
to determine whether the offender is a sexual predator. The court	2612
may deny the recommendation and determine that the offender is not	2613
a sexual predator without a hearing but shall not make a	2614
determination that the offender is a sexual predator in any case	2615
without a hearing. The court may hold the hearing and make the	2616
determination prior to the offender's release from imprisonment or	2617
at any time within one year following the offender's release from	2618
that imprisonment. If the court determines without a hearing that	2619
the offender is not a sexual predator, it shall include its	2620
determination in the offender's institutional record and shall	2621
determine whether the offender previously has been convicted of or	2622
pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense other than the	2623
offense in relation to which the court determined that the	2624
offender is not a sexual predator.	2625

The court may make the determination as to whether the	2626
offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a	2627
sexually oriented offense without a hearing, but, if the court	2628
determines that the offender previously has been convicted of or	2629
pleaded guilty to such an offense, it shall not impose a	2630
requirement that the offender be subject to the community	2631
notification provisions regarding the offender's place of	2632
residence that are contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of	2633
the Revised Code without a hearing. The court may conduct a	2634
hearing to determine both whether the offender previously has been	2635
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense and	2636
whether to impose a requirement that the offender be subject to	2637
the community notification provisions as described in this	2638
division, or may conduct a hearing solely to make the latter	2639
determination. The court shall include in the offender's	2640
institutional record any determination made under this division as	2641
to whether the offender previously has been convicted of or	2642
pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense, and, as such,	2643
whether the offender is a habitual sex offender.	2644

(b) If the court schedules a hearing under division	2645
(C)(2)(a) of this section, the court shall give the offender and	2646
the prosecutor who prosecuted the offender for the sexually	2647
oriented offense, or that prosecutor's successor in office, notice	2648
of the date, time, and place of the hearing. If the hearing is to	2649
determine whether the offender is a sexual predator, it shall be	2650
conducted in the manner described in division (B)(1) of this	2651
section regarding hearings conducted under that division and, in	2652
making a determination under this division as to whether the	2653
offender is a sexual predator, the court shall consider all	2654
relevant factors, including, but not limited to, all of the	2655
factors specified in division (B)(2) of this section. After	2656
reviewing all testimony and evidence presented at the sexual	2657
predator hearing and the factors specified in division (B)(2) of	2658
this section, the court shall determine by clear and convincing	2659
evidence whether the offender is a sexual predator. If the court	2660
determines that the offender is not a sexual predator, it also	2661
shall determine whether the offender previously has been convicted	2662
of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense other than the	2663
offense in relation to which the hearing is being conducted.	2664

Upon making its determinations at the hearing, the court	2665
shall proceed as follows:	2666

(i) If the hearing is to determine whether the offender is a	2667
sexual predator, and if the court determines that the offender is	2668
not a sexual predator and that the offender previously has not	2669
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense	2670
other than the offense in relation to which the hearing is being	2671
conducted, it shall include its determinations in the offender's	2672
institutional record.	2673

(ii) If the hearing is to determine whether the offender is	2674
a sexual predator, and if the court determines that the offender	2675
is not a sexual predator but that the offender previously has been	2676
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense	2677
other than the offense in relation to which the hearing is being	2678
conducted, it shall include its determination that the offender is	2679
not a sexual predator but is a habitual sex offender in the	2680
offender's institutional record, shall attach the determinations	2681
to the offender's sentence, shall specify that the determinations	2682
were pursuant to division (C) of this section, shall provide a	2683
copy of the determinations to the offender, to the prosecuting	2684
attorney, and to the department of rehabilitation and correction,	2685
and may impose a requirement that the offender be subject to the	2686
community notification provisions regarding the offender's place	2687
of residence that are contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of	2688
the Revised Code. The offender shall not be subject to those	2689
community notification provisions relative to the sexually	2690
oriented offense in question if the court does not so impose the	2691
requirement described in this division. If the court imposes	2692
those community notification provisions, the offender may appeal	2693
the judge's determination that the offender is a habitual sex	2694
offender.	2695

(iii) If the hearing is to determine whether the offender	2696
previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually	2697
oriented offense other than the offense in relation to which the	2698
hearing is being conducted and whether to impose a requirement	2699
that the offender be subject to the specified community	2700
notification provisions, and if the court determines that the	2701
offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to	2702
such an offense, the court shall proceed as described in division	2703
(C)(2)(b)(ii) of this section and may impose a community	2704
notification requirement as described in that division. The	2705
offender shall not be subject to the specified community	2706
notification provisions relative to the sexually oriented offense	2707
in question if the court does not so impose the requirement	2708
described in that division. If the court imposes those community	2709
notification provisions, the offender may appeal the judge's	2710
determination that the offender is a habitual sex offender.	2711

(iv) If the court determined without a hearing that the	2712
offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a	2713
sexually oriented offense other than the offense in relation to	2714
which the court determined that the offender is not a sexual	2715
predator, and, as such, is a habitual sex offender, and the	2716
hearing is solely to determine whether to impose a requirement	2717
that the offender be subject to the specified community	2718
notification provisions, after the hearing, the court may impose a	2719
community notification requirement as described in division	2720
(C)(2)(b)(ii) of this section. The offender shall not be subject	2721
to the specified community notification provisions relative to the	2722
sexually oriented offense in question if the court does not so	2723
impose the requirement described in that division. If the court	2724
imposes those community notification provisions, the offender may	2725
appeal the judge's determination that the offender is a habitual	2726
sex offender.	2727

(v) If the hearing is to determine whether the offender is a	2728
sexual predator, and if the court determines by clear and	2729
convincing evidence that the offender is a sexual predator, it	2730
shall enter its determination in the offender's institutional	2731
record, shall attach the determination to the offender's sentence,	2732
shall specify that the determination was pursuant to division (C)	2733
of this section, and shall provide a copy of the determination to	2734
the offender, to the prosecuting attorney, and to the department	2735
of rehabilitation and correction. The offender and the prosecutor	2736
may appeal as a matter of right the judge's determination under	2737
this division as to whether the offender is, or is not, a sexual	2738
predator.	2739

(D)(1) UponDivision (D) of this section applies to persons	2740
who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually	2741
oriented offense. The procedures set forth in division (D) of	2742
this section regarding a determination of whether a person no	2743
longer is a sexual predator also apply, to the extent specified in	2744
section 2152.84 or 2152.85 of the Revised Code, to persons who	2745
have been adjudicated a delinquent child for committing a sexually	2746
oriented offense and have been determined by a juvenile court	2747
judge to be a sexual predator. A person who has been adjudicated	2748
a delinquent child for committing a sexually oriented offense and	2749
who has been classified by a juvenile court judge a juvenile sex	2750
offender registrant or, if applicable, additionally has been	2751
determined by a juvenile court judge to be a sexual predator or	2752
habitual sex offender, may petition the adjudicating court for a	2753
reclassification or declassification pursuant to section 2152.85	2754
of the Revised Code.	2755

Upon the expiration of the applicable period of time	2756
specified in division (D)(1)(a) or (b) of this section, an	2757
offender who has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually	2758
oriented offense and who has been adjudicated as being a sexual	2759
predator relative to the sexually oriented offense in the manner	2760
described in division (B) or (C) of this section may petition the	2761
judge who made the determination that the offender was a sexual	2762
predator, or that judge's successor in office, to enter a	2763
determination that the offender no longer is a sexual predator.	2764
Upon the filing of the petition, the judge may review the prior	2765
sexual predator determination that comprises the sexually violent	2766
predator adjudication, and, upon consideration of all relevant	2767
evidence and information, including, but not limited to, the	2768
factors set forth in division (B)(2)(3) of this section, either	2769
shall enter a determination that the offender no longer is a	2770
sexual predator or shall enter an order denying the petition. The	2771
courtjudge shall not enter a determination under this division	2772
that the offender no longer is a sexual predator unless the court	2773
judge determines by clear and convincing evidence that the	2774
offender is unlikely to commit a sexually oriented offense in the	2775
future. If the judge enters a determination under this division	2776
that the offender no longer is a sexual predator, the judge shall	2777
notify the bureau of criminal identification and investigation and	2778
the parole board of the determination. Upon receipt of the	2779
notification, the bureau promptly shall notify the sheriff with	2780
whom the offender most recently registered under section 2950.04	2781
or 2950.05 of the Revised Code of the determination that the	2782
offender no longer is a sexual predator. If the judge enters an	2783
order denying the petition, the prior adjudication of the offender	2784
as a sexual predator shall remain in effect. An offender	2785
determined to be a sexual predator in the manner described in	2786
division (B) or (C) of this section may file a petition under this	2787
division after the expiration of the following periods of time:	2788

(a) Regardless of when the sexually oriented offense was	2789
committed, if, on or after January 1, 1997, the offender is	2790
imprisoned or sentenced to a prison term or other confinement for	2791
the sexually oriented offense in relation to which the	2792
determination was made, the offender initially may file the	2793
petition not earlier than one year prior to the offender's release	2794
from the imprisonment, prison term, or other confinement by	2795
discharge, parole, judicial release, or any other final release.	2796
If the offender is sentenced on or after January 1, 1997, for the	2797
sexually oriented offense in relation to which the determination	2798
is made and is not imprisoned or sentenced to a prison term or	2799
other confinement for the sexually oriented offense, the offender	2800
initially may file the petition upon the expiration of one year	2801
after the entry of the offender's judgment of conviction.	2802

(b) After the offender's initial filing of a petition under	2803
division (D)(1)(a) of this section, thereafter, an offender may	2804
file a petition under this division upon the expiration of five	2805
years after the court has entered an order denying the petition	2806
under division (D)(1)(a) of this section or the most recent	2807
petition the offender has filed under this division.	2808

(2) Except as otherwise provided in this division, division	2809
(D)(1) of this section does not apply to a person who is	2810
classified as a sexual predator pursuant to division (A) of this	2811
section. If a person who is so classified was sentenced to a	2812
prison term pursuant to division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the	2813
Revised Code and if the sentencing court terminates the offender's	2814
prison term as provided in division (D) of section 2971.05 of the	2815
Revised Code, the court's termination of the prison term	2816
automatically shall constitute a determination by the court that	2817
the offender no longer is a sexual predator. If the court so	2818
terminates the offender's prison term, the court shall notify the	2819
bureau of criminal identification and investigation and the parole	2820
board of the determination that the offender no longer is a sexual	2821
predator. Upon receipt of the notification, the bureau promptly	2822
shall notify the sheriff with whom the offender most recently	2823
registered under section 2950.04 or 2950.05 of the Revised Code	2824
that the offender no longer is a sexual predator. If an offender	2825
who is classified as a sexual predator pursuant to division (A) of	2826
this section is released from prison pursuant to a pardon or	2827
commutation, the classification of the offender as a sexual	2828
predator shall remain in effect after the offender's release, and	2829
the offender may file one or more petitions in accordance with the	2830
procedures and time limitations contained in division (D)(1) of	2831
this section for a determination that the offender no longer is a	2832
sexual predator.	2833

(E) If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to	2834
committing, on or after January 1, 1997, a sexually oriented	2835
offense, the judge who is to impose sentence on the offender shall	2836
determine, prior to sentencing, whether the offender previously	2837
has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented	2838
offense. If a person is classified a juvenile sex offender	2839
registrant, pursuant to section 2152.82 or division (A) of section	2840
2152.83 of the Revised Code, the adjudicating judge shall	2841
determine, prior to entering the order classifying the delinquent	2842
child a juvenile sex offender registrant, whether the delinquent	2843
child previously has been adjudicated a delinquent child for	2844
committing a sexually oriented offense. If the adjudicating judge	2845
has classified the delinquent child under division (A) of section	2846
2152.83 of the Revised Code based on that adjudication a juvenile	2847
sex offender registrant, the judge shall determine, prior to	2848
entering the classification order, whether the delinquent child	2849
previously has been adjudicated a delinquent child for committing	2850
a sexually oriented offense. If the judge determines that the	2851
offender previously has not been convicted of or pleaded guilty to	2852
a sexually oriented offense or that the delinquent child	2853
previously has not been adjudicated a delinquent child for	2854
committing a sexually oriented offense, the judge shall specify in	2855
the offender's sentence or in the order classifying the delinquent	2856
child a juvenile sex offender registrant that the judge has	2857
determined that the offender or delinquent child is not a habitual	2858
sex offender. If the judge determines that the offender	2859
previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually	2860
oriented offense or that the delinquent child previously has been	2861
adjudicated a delinquent child for committing a sexually oriented	2862
offense, the judge shall specify in the offender's sentence and	2863
the judgment of conviction that contains the sentence or in the	2864
order classifying the delinquent child a juvenile sex offender	2865
registrant that the judge has determined that the offender or	2866
delinquent child is a habitual sex offender and may impose a	2867
requirement in that sentence and judgment of conviction or in that	2868
order that the offender or delinquent child be subject to the	2869
community notification provisions regarding the offender's or	2870
delinquent child's place of residence that are contained in	2871
sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code. Unless the	2872
habitual sex offender also has been adjudicated as being a sexual	2873
predator relative to the sexually oriented offense in question,	2874
the offender or delinquent child shall not be subject to those	2875
community notification provisions only if the court does not	2876
imposeimposes the requirement described in this division in the	2877
offender's sentence and the judgment of conviction or in the order	2878
classifying the delinquent child a juvenile sex offender	2879
registrant.	2880

(F)(1) An offender or delinquent child classified as a	2881
sexual predator may petition the court of common pleas or, for a	2882
delinquent child, the juvenile court of the county in which the	2883
offender or delinquent child resides or temporarily is domiciled	2884
to enter a determination that the offender or delinquent child is	2885
not an adjudicated sexual predator in this state for purposes of	2886
the sex offender registration requirements of this chapter or the	2887
community notification provisions contained in sections 2950.10	2888
and 2950.11 of the Revised Code if all of the following apply:	2889

(a) The offender or delinquent child was convicted of or,	2890
pleaded guilty to, or was adjudicated a delinquent child for	2891
committing, a sexually oriented offense in another state or in a	2892
federal court, a military court, or an Indian tribal court.	2893

(b) As a result of the conviction or, plea of guilty, or	2894
adjudication described in division (F)(1)(a) of this section, the	2895
offender or delinquent child is required under the law of the	2896
jurisdiction under which the offender or delinquent child was	2897
convicted or, pleaded guilty, or was adjudicated to register as a	2898
sex offender until the offender's or delinquent child's death and	2899
is required to verify the offender's or delinquent child's address	2900
on at least a quarterly basis each year.	2901

(c) The offender or delinquent child was automatically	2902
classified as a sexual predator under division (A) of this section	2903
in relation to the conviction or, guilty plea, or adjudication	2904
described in division (F)(1)(a) of this section.	2905

(2) The court may enter a determination that the offender or	2906
delinquent child filing the petition described in division (F)(1)	2907
of this section is not an adjudicated sexual predator in this	2908
state for purposes of the sex offender registration requirements	2909
of this chapter or the community notification provisions contained	2910
in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code only if the	2911
offender or delinquent child proves by clear and convincing	2912
evidence that the requirement of the other jurisdiction that the	2913
offender or delinquent child register as a sex offender until the	2914
offender's or delinquent child's death and the requirement that	2915
the offender or delinquent child verify the offender's or	2916
delinquent child's address on at least a quarterly basis each year	2917
is not substantially similar to a classification as a sexual	2918
predator for purposes of this chapter.	2919

Sec. 2950.10.  (A)(1) If a person is convicted of or pleads	2920
guilty to, or has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, a	2921
sexually oriented offense or a person is adjudicated a delinquent	2922
child for committing a sexually oriented offense and is classified	2923
a juvenile sex offender registrant or is an out-of-state juvenile	2924
sex offender registrant based on that adjudication, if the	2925
offender or delinquent child has been adjudicated as being a	2926
sexual predator relative to the sexually oriented offense, and the	2927
court has not subsequently determined pursuant to division (D) of	2928
section 2950.09, section 2152.84, or section 2152.85 of the	2929
Revised Code that the offender or delinquent child no longer is a	2930
sexual predator or the offender or delinquent child has been	2931
determined pursuant to division (C)(2) or (E) of section 2950.09,	2932
division (B) of section 2152.83, section 2152.84, or section	2933
2152.85 of the Revised Code to be a habitual sex offender and, the	2934
court has imposed a requirement under that division or section	2935
subjecting the habitual sex offender to this section, and the	2936
determination has not been removed pursuant to section 2152.84 or	2937
2152.85 of the Revised Code, if the offender or delinquent child	2938
registers with a sheriff pursuant to section 2950.04 or 2950.05 of	2939
the Revised Code, and if the victim of the sexually oriented	2940
offense has made a request in accordance with rules adopted by the	2941
attorney general that specifies that the victim would like to be	2942
provided the notices described in this section, the sheriff shall	2943
notify the victim of the sexually oriented offense, in writing,	2944
that the offender or delinquent child has registered and shall	2945
include in the notice the offender's or delinquent child's name	2946
and residence address or addresses. The sheriff shall provide the	2947
