than conduct normally constituting the offense.789

       (G) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, if891

offense or for a third degree felony OMVI offense, the court shall893
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration894
or a mandatory prison term in accordance with the following:895

       (1) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree896
felony OMVI offense, the court may impose upon the offender a897
mandatory term of local incarceration of sixty days as specified898
in division (A)(4) of section 4511.99 of the Revised Code or a899
mandatory term of local incarceration of one hundred twenty days900
as specified in division (A)(8) of that section. The court shall901
not reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.193, or any902

specify whether the term is to be served in a jail, a905
community-based correctional facility, a halfway house, or an906
alternative residential facility, and the offender shall serve the907
term in the type of facility specified by the court. A mandatory908
term of local incarceration imposed under division (G)(1) of this909

Revised Code, to a period of post-release control under section911
2967.28 of the Revised Code, or to any other Revised Code912
provision that pertains to a prison term.913

       (2) If the offender is being sentenced for a third degree914
felony OMVI offense, or if the offender is being sentenced for a915
fourth degree felony OMVI offense and the court does not impose a916
mandatory term of local incarceration under division (G)(1) of917
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory918
prison term of sixty days as specified in division (A)(4) of919
section 4511.99 of the Revised Code or a mandatory prison term of920
one hundred twenty days as specified in division (A)(8) of that921
section. The court shall not reduce the term pursuant to section922
2929.20, 2967.193, or any other provision of the Revised Code. In923
no case shall an offender who once has been sentenced to a924
mandatory term of local incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1)925
of this section for a fourth degree felony OMVI offense be926
sentenced to another mandatory term of local incarceration under927
that division for any violation of division (A) of section 4511.19928
of the Revised Code. The court shall not sentence the offender to929
a community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of930
the Revised Code. The department of rehabilitation and correction931
may place an offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under932
this division in an intensive program prison established pursuant933
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code if the department gave the934
sentencing judge prior notice of its intent to place the offender935
in an intensive program prison established under that section and936
if the judge did not notify the department that the judge937
disapproved the placement. Upon the establishment of the initial938
intensive program prison pursuant to section 5120.033 of the939
Revised Code that is privately operated and managed by a940
contractor pursuant to a contract entered into under section 9.06941
of the Revised Code, both of the following apply:942

       (a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall943
make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of944
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division945
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that946
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.947

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full948
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 949
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 950
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant951
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 952
operated and managed prison.953

       (H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 954
offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall955
require the offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection956
procedure pursuant to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code if957
either of the following applies:958

       (1) The offense was a sexually violent offense, and the959
offender also was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually960
violent predator specification that was included in the961
indictment, count in the indictment, or information charging the962
sexually violent offense.963

       (2) The judge imposing sentence for the sexually oriented964
offense determines pursuant to division (B) of section 2950.09 of965
the Revised Code that the offender is a sexual predator.966

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 967
offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall968
include in the sentence a summary of the offender's duty to969
register pursuant to section 2950.04 of the Revised Code, the970
offender's duty to provide notice of a change in residence address971
and register the new residence address pursuant to section 2950.05972
of the Revised Code, the offender's duty to periodically verify973
the offender's current residence address pursuant to section974
2950.06 of the Revised Code, and the duration of the duties. The975
judge shall inform the offender, at the time of sentencing, of976
those duties and of their duration and, if required under division977
(A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, shall perform the978
duties specified in that section.979

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 980
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation 981
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 982
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 983
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors984
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section985
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to986
the felony category of the offense attempted.987

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 988
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 989
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is990
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled991
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court992
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that993
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse994
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of995
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next996
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in997
the attempt.998

       (K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the999
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.1000

       Sec. 2929.14.  (A) Except as provided in division (C),1001
(D)(1), (D)(2), (D)(3), (D)(4), (D)(5), (D)(6), or (G) of this1002
section and except in relation to an offense for which a sentence1003
of death or life imprisonment is to be imposed, if the court1004
imposing a sentence upon an offender for a felony elects or is1005
required to impose a prison term on the offender pursuant to this1006
chapter and is not prohibited by division (G)(1) of section 1007
2929.13 of the Revised Code from imposing a prison term on the 1008
offender, the court shall impose a definite prison term that shall1009
be one of the following:1010

       (1) For a felony of the first degree, the prison term shall1011
be three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years.1012

       (2) For a felony of the second degree, the prison term shall1013
be two, three, four, five, six, seven, or eight years.1014

       (3) For a felony of the third degree, the prison term shall1015
be one, two, three, four, or five years.1016

       (4) For a felony of the fourth degree, the prison term shall1017
be six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,1018
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen months.1019

       (5) For a felony of the fifth degree, the prison term shall1020
be six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, or twelve months.1021

       (B) Except as provided in division (C), (D)(1), (D)(2),1022
(D)(3), (D)(5), (D)(6), or (G) of this section, in section 2907.021023
of the Revised Code, or in Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code, if 1024
the court imposing a sentence upon an offender for a felony elects 1025
or is required to impose a prison term on the offender, the court 1026
shall impose the shortest prison term authorized for the offense1027
pursuant to division (A) of this section, unless one or more of1028
the following applies:1029

       (1) The offender was serving a prison term at the time of the 1030
offense, or the offender previously had served a prison term.1031

       (2) The court finds on the record that the shortest prison1032
term will demean the seriousness of the offender's conduct or will1033
not adequately protect the public from future crime by the1034
offender or others.1035

       (C) Except as provided in division (G) of this section or in1036
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code, the court imposing a sentence1037
upon an offender for a felony may impose the longest prison term1038
authorized for the offense pursuant to division (A) of this1039
section only upon offenders who committed the worst forms of the1040
offense, upon offenders who pose the greatest likelihood of1041
committing future crimes, upon certain major drug offenders under1042
division (D)(3) of this section, and upon certain repeat violent1043
offenders in accordance with division (D)(2) of this section.1044

       (D)(1)(a) Except as provided in division (D)(1)(e) of this1045
section, if an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a1046
felony also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification of1047
the type described in section 2941.141, 2941.144, or 2941.145 of1048
the Revised Code, the court shall impose on the offender one of1049
the following prison terms:1050

       (i) A prison term of six years if the specification is of the1051

or about the offender's person or under the offender's control1055
while committing the felony;1056

       (ii) A prison term of three years if the specification is of1057
the type described in section 2941.145 of the Revised Code that1058
charges the offender with having a firearm on or about the1059

the offense and displaying the firearm, brandishing the firearm,1061
indicating that the offender possessed the firearm, or using it to1062
facilitate the offense;1063

       (iii) A prison term of one year if the specification is of1064
the type described in section 2941.141 of the Revised Code that1065
charges the offender with having a firearm on or about the1066
offender's person or under the offender's control while committing1067
the felony.1068

       (b) If a court imposes a prison term on an offender under1069
division (D)(1)(a) of this section, the prison term shall not be1070
reduced pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.193, or any1071
other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised1072
Code. A court shall not impose more than one prison term on an1073
offender under division (D)(1)(a) of this section for felonies1074
committed as part of the same act or transaction.1075

       (c) Except as provided in division (D)(1)(e) of this section, 1076
if an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation 1077
of section 2923.161 of the Revised Code or to a felony that 1078
includes, as an essential element, purposely or knowingly causing 1079
or attempting to cause the death of or physical harm to another,1080
also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification of the1081
type described in section 2941.146 of the Revised Code that1082
charges the offender with committing the offense by discharging a1083
firearm from a motor vehicle other than a manufactured home, the1084
court, after imposing a prison term on the offender for the1085
violation of section 2923.161 of the Revised Code or for the other1086
felony offense under division (A), (D)(2), or (D)(3) of this1087
section, shall impose an additional prison term of five years upon1088
the offender that shall not be reduced pursuant to section1089
2929.20, section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967.1090
or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. A court shall not impose1091
more than one additional prison term on an offender under division1092
(D)(1)(c) of this section for felonies committed as part of the1093
same act or transaction. If a court imposes an additional prison1094
term on an offender under division (D)(1)(c) of this section1095
relative to an offense, the court also shall impose a prison term1096
under division (D)(1)(a) of this section relative to the same1097
offense, provided the criteria specified in that division for1098
imposing an additional prison term are satisfied relative to the1099
offender and the offense.1100

       (d) If an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 1101
offense of violence that is a felony also is convicted of or1102

pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.193, or any other1108
provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. A 1109
court shall not impose more than one prison term on an offender1110
under division (D)(1)(d) of this section for felonies committed as1111
part of the same act or transaction. If a court imposes an1112
additional prison term under division (D)(1)(a) or (c) of this1113
section, the court is not precluded from imposing an additional1114
prison term under division (D)(1)(d) of this section.1115

       (e) The court shall not impose any of the prison terms1116
described in division (D)(1)(a) of this section or any of the1117
additional prison terms described in division (D)(1)(c) of this1118
section upon an offender for a violation of section 2923.12 or1119
2923.123 of the Revised Code. The court shall not impose any of1120
the prison terms described in division (D)(1)(a) of this section1121
or any of the additional prison terms described in division1122
(D)(1)(c) of this section upon an offender for a violation of1123
section 2923.13 of the Revised Code unless all of the following1124
apply:1125

       (i) The offender previously has been convicted of aggravated1126
murder, murder, or any felony of the first or second degree.1127

       (ii) Less than five years have passed since the offender was1128
released from prison or post-release control, whichever is later,1129
for the prior offense.1130

       (2)(a) If an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to 1131
a felony also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification 1132
of the type described in section 2941.149 of the Revised Code that 1133
the offender is a repeat violent offender, the court shall impose 1134
a prison term from the range of terms authorized for the offense1135
under division (A) of this section that may be the longest term in 1136
the range and that shall not be reduced pursuant to section 1137
2929.20, section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. 1138
or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. If the court finds that the1139
repeat violent offender, in committing the offense, caused any1140
physical harm that carried a substantial risk of death to a person 1141
or that involved substantial permanent incapacity or substantial 1142
permanent disfigurement of a person, the court shall impose the 1143
longest prison term from the range of terms authorized for the1144
offense under division (A) of this section.1145

       (b) If the court imposing a prison term on a repeat violent1146
offender imposes the longest prison term from the range of terms1147

court may impose on the offender an additional definite prison1149
term of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or1150
ten years if the court finds that both of the following apply with1151
respect to the prison terms imposed on the offender pursuant to1152
division (D)(2)(a) of this section and, if applicable, divisions1153
(D)(1) and (3) of this section:1154

       (i) The terms so imposed are inadequate to punish the1155
offender and protect the public from future crime, because the1156
applicable factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code1157
indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism outweigh the1158
applicable factors under that section indicating a lesser1159
likelihood of recidivism.1160

       (ii) The terms so imposed are demeaning to the seriousness of 1161
the offense, because one or more of the factors under section1162
2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating that the offender's conduct1163
is more serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are1164
present, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that1165
section indicating that the offender's conduct is less serious1166
than conduct normally constituting the offense.1167

       (3)(a) Except when an offender commits a violation of section 1168
2903.01 or 2907.02 of the Revised Code and the penalty imposed for 1169
the violation is life imprisonment or commits a violation of 1170
section 2903.02 of the Revised Code, if the offender commits a 1171
violation of section 2925.03 or 2925.11 of the Revised Code and 1172
that section classifies the offender as a major drug offender and 1173
requires the imposition of a ten-year prison term on the offender, 1174
if the offender commits a felony violation of section 2925.02,1175
2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.36, 3719.07, 3719.08, 3719.16, 3719.161, 1176
4729.37, or 4729.61, division (C) or (D) of section 3719.172, 1177
division (C) of section 4729.51, or division (J) of section 1178
4729.54 of the Revised Code that includes the sale, offer to sell,1179
or possession of a schedule I or II controlled substance, with the 1180
exception of marihuana, and the court imposing sentence upon the 1181
offender finds that the offender is guilty of a specification of 1182
the type described in section 2941.1410 of the Revised Code 1183
charging that the offender is a major drug offender, if the court 1184
imposing sentence upon an offender for a felony finds that the 1185
offender is guilty of corrupt activity with the most serious 1186
offense in the pattern of corrupt activity being a felony of the 1187
first degree, or if the offender is guilty of an attempted1188
violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and, had the1189
offender completed the violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised1190
Code that was attempted, the offender would have been subject to a1191
sentence of life imprisonment or life imprisonment without parole1192
for the violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code, the1193
court shall impose upon the offender for the felony violation a1194
ten-year prison term that cannot be reduced pursuant to section1195
2929.20 or Chapter 2967. or 5120. of the Revised Code.1196

       (b) The court imposing a prison term on an offender under1197
division (D)(3)(a) of this section may impose an additional prison1198
term of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or1199
ten years, if the court, with respect to the term imposed under1200
division (D)(3)(a) of this section and, if applicable, divisions1201
(D)(1) and (2) of this section, makes both of the findings set1202
forth in divisions (D)(2)(b)(i) and (ii) of this section.1203

       (4) If the offender is being sentenced for a third or fourth1204
degree felony OMVI offense under division (G)(2) of section1205
2929.13 of the Revised Code, the sentencing court shall impose1206
upon the offender a mandatory prison term in accordance with that1207
division. In addition to the mandatory prison term, the sentencing 1208
court may sentence the offender to an additional prison term of 1209
any duration specified in division (A)(3) of this section minus 1210
the sixty or one hundred twenty days imposed upon the offender as 1211
the mandatory prison term. The total of the additional prison term 1212
imposed under division (D)(4) of this section plus the sixty or 1213
one hundred twenty days imposed as the mandatory prison term shall 1214
equal one of the authorized prison terms specified in division 1215
(A)(3) of this section. If the court imposes an additional prison 1216
term under division (D)(4) of this section, the offender shall 1217
serve the additional prison term after the offender has served the 1218
mandatory prison term required for the offense. The court shall 1219
not sentence the offender to a community control sanction under1220
section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised Code.1221

       (5) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a1222
violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the1223
Revised Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a1224
specification of the type described in section 2941.1413 of the1225
Revised Code that charges that the victim of the offense is a1226
peace officer, as defined in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code,1227
the court shall impose on the offender a prison term of five1228
years. If a court imposes a prison term on an offender under1229
division (D)(5) of this section, the prison term shall not be1230
reduced pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.193, or any1231
other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised1232
Code. A court shall not impose more than one prison term on an1233
offender under division (D)(5) of this section for felonies1234
committed as part of the same act.1235

        (6) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a1236
violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the1237
Revised Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a1238
specification of the type described in section 2941.1414 of the1239
Revised Code that charges that the offender previously has been1240

of the offender's conduct and to the danger the offender poses to1306
the public, and if the court also finds any of the following:1307

committed as part of any of the courses of conduct adequately1317
reflects the seriousness of the offender's conduct.1318

influence the future conduct of others.2148

       (e) The offender committed the offense for hire or as part of 2149

in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a prison term2165
is consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set2166
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and finds that the2167
offender is not amenable to an available community control2168
sanction, the court shall impose a prison term upon the offender.2169

section, if the court does not make a finding described in2171
division (B)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) of2172
this section and if the court, after considering the factors set2173

sanctions is consistent with the purposes and principles of2176
sentencing set forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code, the2177
court shall impose a community control sanction or combination of2178

sanction for a felony of the third degree or a felony drug offense2182
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised2183
Code and that is specified as being subject to this division for2184
purposes of sentencing, the sentencing court shall comply with the2185
purposes and principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the2186
Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of the Revised Code.2187

       (D) Except as provided in division (E) or (F) of this2188
section, for a felony of the first or second degree and for a2189
felony drug offense that is a violation of any provision of2190
Chapter 2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a2191
presumption in favor of a prison term is specified as being2192
applicable, it is presumed that a prison term is necessary in2193
order to comply with the purposes and principles of sentencing2194
under section 2929.11 of the Revised Code. Notwithstanding the2195
presumption established under this division, the sentencing court2196
may impose a community control sanction or a combination of2197
community control sanctions instead of a prison term on an2198
offender for a felony of the first or second degree or for a2199
felony drug offense that is a violation of any provision of2200
Chapter 2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a2201
presumption in favor of a prison term is specified as being2202
applicable if it makes both of the following findings:2203

       (1) A community control sanction or a combination of2204
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender2205
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable2206
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a2207
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors2208
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.2209

       (2) A community control sanction or a combination of2210
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of2211
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of2212
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was2213
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are2214
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that2215
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious2216
than conduct normally constituting the offense.2217

       (E)(1) Except as provided in division (F) of this section,2218
for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of2219
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the2220
third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of a presumption2221
under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of2222
division (B) or (C) of this section in determining whether to2223
impose a prison term for the offense shall be determined as2224
specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06,2225
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 2925.37 of the2226
Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation.2227

       (2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to2228
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction2229
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive2230
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation2231
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned2232
unless the court determines on the record either of the following:2233

       (a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the2234
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug2235
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program,2236
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable2237
period of participation in the program.2238

       (b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is2239
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set2240
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code.2241

       (F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, the 2242
court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections 2929.02 2243
to 2929.06, section 2929.14, or section 2971.03 of the Revised 2244
Code and except as specifically provided in section 2929.20 or 2245
2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is authorized for the 2246
offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised Code shall not reduce 2247
the terms pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.193, or any 2248
other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised 2249
Code for any of the following offenses:2250

       (2) Any rape, regardless of whether force was involved and2252

imprisonment or life imprisonment without parole for the rape;2256

4729.99 of the Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the2269

impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration2322
or a mandatory prison term in accordance with the following:2323

or to any other Revised Code provision that pertains to a prison2339

       (2) If the offender is being sentenced for a third degree2341

2967.193, or any other provision of the Revised Code. In no case2349
shall an offender who once has been sentenced to a mandatory term2350
of local incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1) of this section2351
for a fourth degree felony OVI offense be sentenced to another2352
mandatory term of local incarceration under that division for any2353
violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code.2354
The court shall not sentence the offender to a community control2355

contract entered into under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both 2367
of the following apply:2368

       (a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall2369
make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of2370
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division2371
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that2372
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.2373

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full2374
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 2375
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 2376
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant2377
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 2378
operated and managed prison.2379

       (H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 2380
offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall2381
require the offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection2382
procedure pursuant to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code if2383
either of the following applies:2384

       (1) The offense was a sexually violent offense, and the2385
offender also was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually2386
violent predator specification that was included in the2387
indictment, count in the indictment, or information charging the2388
sexually violent offense.2389

       (2) The judge imposing sentence for the sexually oriented2390
offense determines pursuant to division (B) of section 2950.09 of2391
the Revised Code that the offender is a sexual predator.2392

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 2393
offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall2394
include in the sentence a summary of the offender's duty to2395
register pursuant to section 2950.04 of the Revised Code, the2396
offender's duty to provide notice of a change in residence address2397
and register the new residence address pursuant to section 2950.052398
of the Revised Code, the offender's duty to periodically verify2399
the offender's current residence address pursuant to section2400
2950.06 of the Revised Code, and the duration of the duties. The2401
judge shall inform the offender, at the time of sentencing, of2402
those duties and of their duration and, if required under division2403
(A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, shall perform the2404
duties specified in that section.2405

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 2406
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation 2407
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 2408
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 2409
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors2410
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section2411
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to2412
the felony category of the offense attempted.2413

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 2414
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 2415
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is2416
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled2417
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court2418
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that2419
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse2420
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of2421
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next2422
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in2423
the attempt.2424

       (K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the2425
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.2426

(D)(1), (D)(2), (D)(3), (D)(4), (D)(5), (D)(6), or (G) of this2428
section and except in relation to an offense for which a sentence2429
of death or life imprisonment is to be imposed, if the court2430
imposing a sentence upon an offender for a felony elects or is2431
required to impose a prison term on the offender pursuant to this2432
chapter and is not prohibited by division (G)(1) of section 2433
2929.13 of the Revised Code from imposing a prison term on the 2434
offender, the court shall impose a definite prison term that shall2435
be one of the following:2436

       (1) For a felony of the first degree, the prison term shall2437
be three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years.2438

       (2) For a felony of the second degree, the prison term shall2439
be two, three, four, five, six, seven, or eight years.2440

       (3) For a felony of the third degree, the prison term shall2441
be one, two, three, four, or five years.2442

       (4) For a felony of the fourth degree, the prison term shall2443
be six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,2444
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen months.2445

(D)(3), (D)(5), (D)(6), or (G) of this section, in section 2907.022449
of the Revised Code, or in Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code, if 2450
the court imposing a sentence upon an offender for a felony elects 2451
or is required to impose a prison term on the offender, the court 2452

the following applies:2455

       (1) The offender was serving a prison term at the time of the 2456
offense, or the offender previously had served a prison term.2457

       (2) The court finds on the record that the shortest prison2458

not adequately protect the public from future crime by the2460
offender or others.2461

       (C) Except as provided in division (G) of this section or in2462
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code, the court imposing a sentence2463

reduced pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.193, or any2497
other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised2498

same act or transaction. If a court imposes an additional prison2520
term on an offender under division (D)(1)(c) of this section2521
relative to an offense, the court also shall impose a prison term2522
under division (D)(1)(a) of this section relative to the same2523
offense, provided the criteria specified in that division for2524
imposing an additional prison term are satisfied relative to the2525
offender and the offense.2526

pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.193, or any other2534
provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. A 2535
court shall not impose more than one prison term on an offender2536
under division (D)(1)(d) of this section for felonies committed as2537
part of the same act or transaction. If a court imposes an2538
additional prison term under division (D)(1)(a) or (c) of this2539
section, the court is not precluded from imposing an additional2540
prison term under division (D)(1)(d) of this section.2541

murder, murder, or any felony of the first or second degree.2553

       (ii) Less than five years have passed since the offender was2554
released from prison or post-release control, whichever is later,2555
for the prior offense.2556

       (2)(a) If an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to 2557
a felony also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification 2558
of the type described in section 2941.149 of the Revised Code that 2559
the offender is a repeat violent offender, the court shall impose 2560
a prison term from the range of terms authorized for the offense2561
under division (A) of this section that may be the longest term in 2562
the range and that shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2563
2929.20, section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. 2564
or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. If the court finds that the2565

physical harm that carried a substantial risk of death to a person 2567
or that involved substantial permanent incapacity or substantial 2568
permanent disfigurement of a person, the court shall impose the 2569
longest prison term from the range of terms authorized for the2570

respect to the prison terms imposed on the offender pursuant to2578
division (D)(2)(a) of this section and, if applicable, divisions2579
(D)(1) and (3) of this section:2580

       (i) The terms so imposed are inadequate to punish the2581
offender and protect the public from future crime, because the2582
applicable factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code2583
indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism outweigh the2584
applicable factors under that section indicating a lesser2585
likelihood of recidivism.2586

       (ii) The terms so imposed are demeaning to the seriousness of 2587
the offense, because one or more of the factors under section2588
2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating that the offender's conduct2589
is more serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are2590
present, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that2591
section indicating that the offender's conduct is less serious2592
than conduct normally constituting the offense.2593

       (3)(a) Except when an offender commits a violation of section 2594
2903.01 or 2907.02 of the Revised Code and the penalty imposed for 2595
the violation is life imprisonment or commits a violation of 2596
section 2903.02 of the Revised Code, if the offender commits a 2597
violation of section 2925.03 or 2925.11 of the Revised Code and 2598
that section classifies the offender as a major drug offender and 2599
requires the imposition of a ten-year prison term on the offender, 2600
if the offender commits a felony violation of section 2925.02,2601
2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.36, 3719.07, 3719.08, 3719.16, 3719.161, 2602
4729.37, or 4729.61, division (C) or (D) of section 3719.172, 2603
division (C) of section 4729.51, or division (J) of section 2604
4729.54 of the Revised Code that includes the sale, offer to sell,2605
or possession of a schedule I or II controlled substance, with the 2606
exception of marihuana, and the court imposing sentence upon the 2607
offender finds that the offender is guilty of a specification of 2608
the type described in section 2941.1410 of the Revised Code 2609
charging that the offender is a major drug offender, if the court 2610
imposing sentence upon an offender for a felony finds that the 2611
offender is guilty of corrupt activity with the most serious 2612
offense in the pattern of corrupt activity being a felony of the 2613
first degree, or if the offender is guilty of an attempted2614
violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and, had the2615
offender completed the violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised2616
Code that was attempted, the offender would have been subject to a2617
sentence of life imprisonment or life imprisonment without parole2618
for the violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code, the2619
court shall impose upon the offender for the felony violation a2620
ten-year prison term that cannot be reduced pursuant to section2621
2929.20 or Chapter 2967. or 5120. of the Revised Code.2622

       (b) The court imposing a prison term on an offender under2623
division (D)(3)(a) of this section may impose an additional prison2624
term of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or2625
ten years, if the court, with respect to the term imposed under2626
division (D)(3)(a) of this section and, if applicable, divisions2627
(D)(1) and (2) of this section, makes both of the findings set2628
forth in divisions (D)(2)(b)(i) and (ii) of this section.2629

       (4) If the offender is being sentenced for a third or fourth2630
degree felony OVI offense under division (G)(2) of section 2929.132631
of the Revised Code, the sentencing court shall impose upon the2632
offender a mandatory prison term in accordance with that division.2633
In addition to the mandatory prison term, if the offender is being2634
sentenced for a fourth degree felony OVI offense, the court,2635
notwithstanding division (A)(4) of this section, may sentence the2636
offender to a definite prison term of not less than six months and2637
not more than thirty months, and if the offender is being2638
sentenced for a third degree felony OVI offense, the sentencing2639
court may sentence the offender to an additional prison term of2640
any duration specified in division (A)(3) of this section. In2641
either case, the additional prison term imposed shall be reduced2642
by the sixty or one hundred twenty days imposed upon the offender2643
as the mandatory prison term. The total of the additional prison2644
term imposed under division (D)(4) of this section plus the sixty2645
or one hundred twenty days imposed as the mandatory prison term2646
shall equal a definite term in the range of six months to thirty2647
months for a fourth degree felony OVI offense and shall equal one2648
of the authorized prison terms specified in division (A)(3) of2649
this section for a third degree felony OVI offense. If the court2650
imposes an additional prison term under division (D)(4) of this2651
section, the offender shall serve the additional prison term after2652
the offender has served the mandatory prison term required for the2653
offense. The court shall not sentence the offender to a community2654
control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised2655
Code.2656

       (5) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a2657
violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the2658
Revised Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a2659
specification of the type described in section 2941.1413 of the2660
Revised Code that charges that the victim of the offense is a2661
peace officer, as defined in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code,2662
the court shall impose on the offender a prison term of five2663
years. If a court imposes a prison term on an offender under2664
division (D)(5) of this section, the prison term shall not be2665

other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised2667
Code. A court shall not impose more than one prison term on an2668
offender under division (D)(5) of this section for felonies2669
committed as part of the same act.2670

        (6) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a2671
violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the2672
Revised Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a2673
specification of the type described in section 2941.1414 of the2674
Revised Code that charges that the offender previously has been2675
convicted of or pleaded guilty to three violations of division (A)2676
or (B) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code or an equivalent2677
offense, as defined in section 2941.1414 of the Revised Code, the2678
court shall impose on the offender a prison term of three years.2679
If a court imposes a prison term on an offender under division2680
(D)(6) of this section, the prison term shall not be reduced2681
pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.193, or any other2682
provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. A2683
court shall not impose more than one prison term on an offender2684
under division (D)(6) of this section for felonies committed as2685

committing a felony, if a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an2691
offender pursuant to division (D)(1)(c) of this section for2692
committing a felony specified in that division by discharging a2693
firearm from a motor vehicle, or if both types of mandatory prison2694
terms are imposed, the offender shall serve any mandatory prison2695
term imposed under either division consecutively to any other2696
mandatory prison term imposed under either division or under2697
division (D)(1)(d) of this section, consecutively to and prior to2698
any prison term imposed for the underlying felony pursuant to2699
division (A), (D)(2), or (D)(3) of this section or any other2700

term or mandatory prison term previously or subsequently imposed2702
upon the offender.2703

       (b) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender2704
pursuant to division (D)(1)(d) of this section for wearing or2705

other residential detention facility violates section 2917.02,2716
2917.03, 2921.34, or 2921.35 of the Revised Code, if an offender2717
who is under detention at a detention facility commits a felony2718
violation of section 2923.131 of the Revised Code, or if an2719
offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or other residential2720
detention facility or is under detention at a detention facility2721
commits another felony while the offender is an escapee in2722
violation of section 2921.34 of the Revised Code, any prison term2723
imposed upon the offender for one of those violations shall be2724

previously or subsequently imposed upon the offender.2734

       (4) If multiple prison terms are imposed on an offender for2735
convictions of multiple offenses, the court may require the2736
offender to serve the prison terms consecutively if the court2737
finds that the consecutive service is necessary to protect the2738
public from future crime or to punish the offender and that2739
consecutive sentences are not disproportionate to the seriousness2740
of the offender's conduct and to the danger the offender poses to2741
the public, and if the court also finds any of the following:2742

       (a) The offender committed one or more of the multiple2743
offenses while the offender was awaiting trial or sentencing, was2744
under a sanction imposed pursuant to section 2929.16, 2929.17, or2745

a prior offense.2747

       (b) At least two of the multiple offenses were committed as2748
part of one or more courses of conduct, and the harm caused by two2749
or more of the multiple offenses so committed was so great or2750
unusual that no single prison term for any of the offenses2751
committed as part of any of the courses of conduct adequately2752
reflects the seriousness of the offender's conduct.2753

that consecutive sentences are necessary to protect the public2755
from future crime by the offender.2756

       (5) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender2757
pursuant to division (D)(5) or (6) of this section, the offender2758
