       Sec. 2929.22.  (A) Unless a mandatory jail term is required485
to be imposed by division (G) of section 1547.99, division (B) of486
section 4510.14, division (G) of section 4511.19 of the Revised487
Code, or any other provision of the Revised Code a court that488
imposes a sentence under this chapter upon an offender for a489
misdemeanor or minor misdemeanor has discretion to determine the490
most effective way to achieve the purposes and principles of491
sentencing set forth in section 2929.21 of the Revised Code.492

       Unless a specific sanction is required to be imposed or is493
precluded from being imposed by the section setting forth an494
offense or the penalty for an offense or by any provision of495
sections 2929.23 to 2929.28 of the Revised Code, a court that496
imposes a sentence upon an offender for a misdemeanor may impose497
on the offender any sanction or combination of sanctions under498
sections 2929.24 to 2929.28 of the Revised Code. The court shall499
not impose a sentence that imposes an unnecessary burden on local500
government resources.501

       (B)(1) In determining the appropriate sentence for a502
misdemeanor, the court shall determine whether the victim of the503
offense was sixty-five years of age or older, permanently and504
totally disabled, or under eighteen years of age at the time of505
the commission of the offense and, to the extent applicable, shall506
proceed as follows:507

       (a) If the court determines that the victim was sixty-five508
years of age or older, permanently and totally disabled, or under509
eighteen years of age at the time of the commission of the510
offense, regardless of whether the offender knew the age of the511
victim or knew of the victim's disability, and if the offense is a512
misdemeanor other than a minor misdemeanor, the court shall513
consider that fact in favor of imposing a jail term on the514
offender, but that fact shall not control the decision of the515
court.516

       (b) If the court determines that the victim was sixty-five517
years of age or older or permanently and totally disabled at the518
time of the commission of the offense, regardless of whether the519
offender knew the age of the victim or knew of the victim's520
disability, the court shall consider that fact in favor of521
imposing a financial sanction of restitution on the offender under522
section 2929.28 of the Revised Code, but that fact shall not523
control the decision of the court.524

       (2) In determining the appropriate sentence for a525
misdemeanor, in addition to complying with division (B)(1) of this526
section, the court shall consider all of the following factors:527

       (a) The nature and circumstances of the offense or offenses;528

       (b) Whether the circumstances regarding the offender and the529
offense or offenses indicate that the offender has a history of530
persistent criminal activity and that the offender's character and531
condition reveal a substantial risk that the offender will commit532
another offense;533

       (c) Whether the circumstances regarding the offender and the534
offense or offenses indicate that the offender's history,535
character, and condition reveal a substantial risk that the536
offender will be a danger to others and that the offender's537
conduct has been characterized by a pattern of repetitive,538
compulsive, or aggressive behavior with heedless indifference to539
the consequences;540

       (d) The criminal history and character of the offender in541
general, in addition to the circumstances described in divisions542
(B)(2)(b) and (c) of this sectionWhether the victim's youth, age, 543
disability, or other factor made the victim particularly 544
vulnerable to the offense or made the impact of the offense more 545
serious;546

       (e) Whether the offender is likely to commit future crimes in 547
general, in addition to the circumstances described in divisions 548
(B)(2)(1)(b) and (c) of this section.549

       (3)(2) In determining the appropriate sentence for a550
misdemeanor, in addition to complying with divisionsdivision551
(B)(1) and (2) of this section, the court may consider any other 552
factors that are relevant to achieving the purposes and principles 553
of sentencing set forth in section 2929.21 of the Revised Code.554

       (C) Before imposing a jail term as a sentence for a555
misdemeanor, a court shall consider the appropriateness of556
imposing a community control sanction or a combination of557
community control sanctions under sections 2929.25, 2929.26,558
2929.27, and 2929.28 of the Revised Code. A court may impose the559
longest jail term authorized under section 2929.24 of the Revised560
Code only upon offenders who commit the worst forms of the offense561
or upon offenders whose conduct and response to prior sanctions562
for prior offenses demonstrate that the imposition of the longest563
jail term is necessary to deter the offender from committing a564
future crime.565

       (D)(1) A sentencing court shall consider any relevant oral or566
written statement made by the victim, the defendant, the defense 567
attorney, or the prosecuting authority regarding sentencing for a 568
misdemeanor. This division does not create any rights to notice569
other than those rights authorized by Chapter 2930. of the Revised570
Code.571

       (2) At the time of sentencing for a misdemeanor or as soon as572
possible after sentencing, the court shall notify the victim of573
the offense of the victim's right to file an application for an574
award of reparations pursuant to sections 2743.51 to 2743.72 of575
the Revised Code.576

       Sec. 2929.25.  (A)(1) Except as provided in sections 2929.22577
and 2929.23 of the Revised Code or when a jail term is required by578
law, in sentencing an offender for a misdemeanor, other than a579
minor misdemeanor, the sentencing court may do either of the580
following:581

       (a) Directly impose a sentence that consists of one or more582
community control sanctions authorized by section 2929.26,583
2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code. The court may impose any584
other conditions of release under a community control sanction585
that the court considers appropriate, including, but not limited586
to, requiring that the offender not ingest or be injected with a587
drug of abuse and submit to random drug testing and requiring that588
the results of the drug test indicate that the offender did not589
ingest or was not injected with a drug of abuse. If the court590
imposes a jail term upon the offender, the court may impose any591
community control sanction or combination of community control592
sanctions in addition to the jail term.593

       (b) Impose a jail term under section 2929.24 of the Revised594
Code from the range of jail terms authorized under that section595
for the offense, suspend all or a portion of the jail term596
imposed, and place the offender under a community control sanction597
or combination of community control sanctions authorized under598
section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code.599

       (2) The duration of all community control sanctions imposed600
upon an offender and in effect for an offender at any time shall601
not exceed five years.602

       (3) At sentencing, if a court directly imposes a community603
control sanction or combination of community control sanctions604
pursuant to division (A)(1)(a) of this section, the court shall605
state the duration of the community control sanctions imposed and606
shall notify the offender that if any of the conditions of the607
community control sanctions are violated the court may do any of608
the following:609

       (a) Impose a longer time under the same community control610
sanction if the total time under all of the offender's community611
control sanctions does not exceed the five-year limit specified in612
division (A)(2) of this section;613

       (b) Impose a more restrictive community control sanction614
under section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code,615
but the court is not required to impose any particular sanction or616
sanctions;617

       (c) Impose a definite jail term from the range of jail terms618
authorized for the offense under section 2929.24 of the Revised619
Code.620

       (B)(1) If a court sentences an offender to any community621
control sanction or combination of community control sanctions622
authorized under section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the623
Revised Code, the court shall place the offender under the general624
control and supervision of the court or of a department of625
probation in the jurisdiction that serves the court for purposes626
of reporting to the court a violation of any of the conditions of627
the sanctions imposed. If the offender resides in another628
jurisdiction and a department of probation has been established to629
serve the municipal court or county court in that jurisdiction,630
the sentencing court may request the municipal court or the county631
court to receive the offender into the general control and632
supervision of that department of probation for purposes of633
reporting to the sentencing court a violation of any of the634
conditions of the sanctions imposed. The sentencing court retains635
jurisdiction over any offender whom it sentences for the duration636
of the sanction or sanctions imposed.637

       (2) The sentencing court shall require as a condition of any638
community control sanction that the offender abide by the law and639
not leave the state without the permission of the court or the640
offender's probation officer. In the interests of doing justice,641
rehabilitating the offender, and ensuring the offender's good642
behavior, the court may impose additional requirements on the643
offender. The offender's compliance with the additional644
requirements also shall be a condition of the community control645
sanction imposed upon the offender.646

       (C)(1) If the court imposing sentence upon an offender647
sentences the offender to any community control sanction or648
combination of community control sanctions authorized under649
section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code, and if650
the offender violates any of the conditions of the sanctions, the651
public or private person or entity that supervises or administers652
the program or activity that comprises the sanction shall report653
the violation directly to the sentencing court or to the654
department of probation or probation officer with general control655
and supervision over the offender. If the public or private person 656
or entity reports the violation to the department of probation or 657
probation officer, the department or officer shall report the 658
violation to the sentencing court.659

       (2) If an offender violates any condition of a community660
control sanction, the sentencing court may impose upon the661
violator a longer time under the same community control sanction662
if the total time under all of the community control sanctions663
imposed on the violator does not exceed the five-year limit664
specified in division (A)(2) of this section or may impose on the665
violator a more restrictive community control sanction or666
combination of community control sanctions, including a jail term.667
If the court imposes a jail term upon a violator pursuant to this668
division, the total time spent in jail for the misdemeanor offense669
and the violation of a condition of the community control sanction670
shall not exceed the maximum jail term available for the offense671
for which the sanction that was violated was imposed. The court672
may reduce the longer period of time that the violator is required673
to spend under the longer sanction or the more restrictive674
sanction by all or part of the time the violator successfully675
spent under the sanction that was initially imposed.676

       (D) Except as otherwise provided in this division, if an677
offender, for a significant period of time, fulfills the678
conditions of a community control sanction imposed pursuant to679
section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code in an680
exemplary manner, the court may reduce the period of time under681
the community control sanction or impose a less restrictive682
community control sanction. Fulfilling the conditions of a683
community control sanction does not relieve the offender of a duty684
to make restitution under section 2929.28 of the Revised Code.685

       Sec. 2929.28.  (A) In addition to imposing court costs686
pursuant to section 2947.23 of the Revised Code, the court687
imposing a sentence upon an offender for a misdemeanor, including688
a minor misdemeanor, may sentence the offender to any financial689
sanction or combination of financial sanctions authorized under690
this section. Financial sanctions that may be imposed pursuant to691
this section include, but are not limited to, the following:692

       (1) Restitution by the offender to the victim of the693
offender's crime or any survivor of the victim, in an amount based694
on the victim's economic loss. The court shall order that the695
restitution be made to the victim in open court or to the adult696
probation department that serves the jurisdiction or the clerk of697
the court on behalf of the victim. The order may include a698
requirement that reimbursement be made to third parties, other699
than the offender's insurer, for amounts paid to the victim or any700
survivor of the victim for economic loss resulting from the701
offense. If reimbursement to third parties is required, the702
offender shall make the reimbursement to any governmental agency703
to repay any amounts paid by the agency to the victim or survivor704
before the offender makes any reimbursement to any other person.705

       The court shall determine, or order to be determined, the706
amount of restitution to be paid by the offender. The court may707
base the amount of restitution it orders on an amount recommended708
by the victim, the offender, a presentence investigation report,709
estimates or receipts indicating the cost of repairing or710
replacing property, and other information. The court shall hold a711
hearing on restitution if the offender, victim, or survivor712
disputes the amount of restitution.713

       All restitution payments shall be credited against any714
recovery of economic loss in a civil action brought by the victim715
or any survivor of the victim against the offender.716

       The court may order that the offender pay a surcharge, of not717
more than five per cent of the amount of the restitution otherwise718
ordered, to the entity responsible for collecting and processing719
restitution payments.720

       The victim or survivor may request that the prosecuting721
attorney file a motion, or the offender may file a motion, for722
modification of the payment terms of any restitution ordered. If723
the court grants the motion, it may modify the payment terms as it724
determines appropriate.725

       (2) A fine of the type described in divisions (A)(2)(a) and726
(b) of this section payable to the appropriate entity as required727
by law:728

       (a) A fine in the following amount:729

       (i) For a misdemeanor of the first degree, not more than one730
thousand dollars;731

       (ii) For a misdemeanor of the second degree, not more than732
seven hundred fifty dollars;733

       (iii) For a misdemeanor of the third degree, not more than734
five hundred dollars;735

       (iv) For a misdemeanor of the fourth degree, not more than736
two hundred fifty dollars;737

       (v) For a minor misdemeanor, not more than one hundred fifty738
dollars.739

       (b) A state fine or cost as defined in section 2949.111 of740
the Revised Code.741

       (3)(a) Reimbursement by the offender of any or all of the742
costs of sanctions incurred by the government, including, but not743
limited to, the following:744

       (i) All or part of the costs of implementing any community745
control sanction, including a supervision fee under section746
2951.021 of the Revised Code;747

       (ii) All or part of the costs of confinement in a jail or748
other residential facility, including, but not limited to, a per749
diem fee for room and board, the costs of medical and dental750
treatment, and the costs of repairing property damaged by the751
offender while confined.752

       (b) The amount of reimbursement ordered under division753
(A)(3)(a) of this section shall not exceed the total amount of754
reimbursement the offender is able to pay and shall not exceed the755
actual cost of the sanctions. The court may collect any amount of756
reimbursement the offender is required to pay under that division.757
If the court does not order reimbursement under that division,758
confinement costs may be assessed pursuant to a repayment policy759
adopted under section 2929.37 of the Revised Code. In addition,760
the offender may be required to pay the fees specified in section761
2929.38 of the Revised Code in accordance with that section.762

       (B) If the court determines a hearing is necessary, the court763
may hold a hearing to determine whether the offender is able to764
pay the financial sanction imposed pursuant to this section or765
court costs or is likely in the future to be able to pay the766
sanction or costs.767

       If the court determines that the offender is indigent and768
unable to pay the financial sanction or court costs, the court769
shall consider imposing and may impose a term of community service770
under division (A) of section 2929.27 of the Revised Code in lieu771
of imposing a financial sanction or court costs. If the court does 772
not determine that the offender is indigent, the court may impose 773
a term of community service under division (A) of section 2929.27774
of the Revised Code in lieu of or in addition to imposing a 775
financial sanction under this section and in addition to imposing 776
court costs. The court may order community service for a minor777
misdemeanor pursuant to division (C) of section 2929.27 of the778
Revised Code in lieu of or in addition to imposing a financial779
sanction under this section and in addition to imposing court780
costs. If a person fails to pay a financial sanction or court781
costs, the court may order community service in lieu of the782
financial sanction or court costs.783

       (C)(1) The offender shall pay reimbursements imposed upon the784
offender pursuant to division (A)(3) of this section to pay the785
costs incurred by a county pursuant to any sanction imposed under 786
this section or section 2929.26 or 2929.27 of the Revised Code or 787
in operating a facility used to confine offenders pursuant to a 788
sanction imposed under section 2929.26 of the Revised Code to the 789
county treasurer. The county treasurer shall deposit the790
reimbursements in the county's general fund in accordance with791
division (H) of this section. The county shall use the amounts792
deposited in the fund to pay the costs incurred by the county793
pursuant to any sanction imposed under this section or section794
2929.26 or 2929.27 of the Revised Code or in operating a facility795
used to confine offenders pursuant to a sanction imposed under796
section 2929.26 of the Revised Code.797

       (2) The offender shall pay reimbursements imposed upon the798
offender pursuant to division (A)(3) of this section to pay the799
costs incurred by a municipal corporation pursuant to any sanction800
imposed under this section or section 2929.26 or 2929.27 of the801
Revised Code or in operating a facility used to confine offenders802
pursuant to a sanction imposed under section 2929.26 of the803
Revised Code to the treasurer of the municipal corporation. The804
treasurer shall deposit the reimbursements in the municipal805
corporation's general fund in accordance with division (H) of this 806
section. The municipal corporation shall use the amounts deposited 807
in the fund to pay the costs incurred by the municipal corporation 808
pursuant to any sanction imposed under this section or section 809
2929.26 or 2929.27 of the Revised Code or in operating a facility 810
used to confine offenders pursuant to a sanction imposed under811
section 2929.26 of the Revised Code.812

       (3) The offender shall pay reimbursements imposed pursuant to813
division (A)(3) of this section for the costs incurred by a814
private provider pursuant to a sanction imposed under this section815
or section 2929.26 or 2929.27 of the Revised Code to the provider.816

       (D) Except as otherwise provided in this division, a817
financial sanction imposed under division (A) of this section is a818
judgment in favor of the state or the political subdivision that819
operates the court that imposed the financial sanction. A820
financial sanction of reimbursement imposed pursuant to division821
(A)(3)(a)(i) of this section upon an offender is a judgment in822
favor of the entity administering the community control sanction.823
A financial sanction of reimbursement imposed pursuant to division824
(A)(3)(a)(ii) of this section upon an offender confined in a jail825
or other residential facility is a judgment in favor of the entity826
operating the jail or other residential facility. A financial827
sanction of restitution imposed pursuant to division (A)(1) of828
this section is a judgment in favor of the victim of the829
offender's criminal act. The offender subject to the financial830
sanction is the judgment debtor.831

       Once the financial sanction is imposed as a judgment, the832
victim, private provider, state, or political subdivision may833
bring an action to do any of the following:834

       (1) Obtain execution of the judgment through any available835
procedure, including any of the procedures identified in divisions836
(D)(1)(a) to (e) of section 2929.18 of the Revised Code.837

       (2) Obtain an order for the assignment of wages of the838
judgment debtor under section 1321.33 of the Revised Code.839

       (E) The civil remedies authorized under division (D) of this840
section for the collection of the financial sanction supplement,841
but do not preclude, enforcement of the criminal sentence.842

       (F) Each court imposing a financial sanction upon an offender843
under this section may designate the clerk of the court or another844
person to collect the financial sanction. The clerk, or another 845
person authorized by law or the court to collect the financial 846
sanction may do the following:847

       (1) Enter into contracts with one or more public agencies or848
private vendors for the collection of amounts due under the849
sanction. Before entering into a contract for the collection of850
amounts due from an offender pursuant to any financial sanction851
imposed pursuant to this section, a court shall comply with852
sections 307.86 to 307.92 of the Revised Code.853

       (2) Permit payment of all or any portion of the sanction in854
installments, by financial transaction device if the court is a855
county court or a municipal court operated by a county, by credit856
or debit card or by another electronic transfer if the court is a857
municipal court not operated by a county, or by any other858
reasonable method, in any time, and on any terms that court859
considers just, except that the maximum time permitted for payment860
shall not exceed five years. If the court is a county court or a861
municipal court operated by a county, the acceptance of payments862
by any financial transaction device shall be governed by the863
policy adopted by the board of county commissioners of the county864
pursuant to section 301.28 of the Revised Code. If the court is a865
municipal court not operated by a county, the clerk may pay any866
fee associated with processing an electronic transfer out of867
public money or may charge the fee to the offender.868

       (3) To defray administrative costs, charge a reasonable fee869
to an offender who elects a payment plan rather than a lump sum870
payment of any financial sanction.871

       (G) No financial sanction imposed under this section shall872
preclude a victim from bringing a civil action against the873
offender.874

       (H) Reimbursement imposed under division (A)(3) of this875
