petition the delinquent child has filed under this division.417

       (C) Upon the filing of a petition under divisions (A) and (B) 418
of this section, the judge may review the prior classification or 419
determination in question and, upon consideration of all relevant 420
factors and information, including, but not limited to the factors 421
listed in division (E) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code, the 422
judge, in the judge's discretion, shall do one of the following:423

       (1) Enter an order denying the petition;424

       (2) Issue an order that reclassifies or declassifies the425
delinquent child, in the requested manner specified in division426
(A)(1), (2), or (3) of this section.427

       (D) If a judge issues an order under division (C) of this428
section that denies a petition, the prior classification of the429
delinquent child as a juvenile sex offender registrant, and the430
prior determination that the child is a sexual predator or431
habitual sex offender, if applicable, shall remain in effect.432

       A judge may issue an order under division (C) of this section433
that contains a determination that a child no longer is a sexual434
predator only if the judge conducts a hearing and, in accordance435
with the procedures specified in division (D)(1) of section436
2950.09 of the Revised Code, determines at the hearing by clear437
and convincing evidence that the delinquent child is unlikely to438
commit a sexually oriented offense in the future. If the judge439
issues an order of that type, the judge shall provide the440
notifications described in division (D)(1) of section 2950.09 of441
the Revised Code, and the recipient of the notification shall442
comply with the provisions of that division.443

       A judge may issue an order under division (C) of this section444
that contains a determination that a delinquent child is a445
habitual sex offender only if the judge conducts a hearing and446
determines at the hearing as described in division (E) of section447
2950.09 of the Revised Code that the child is a habitual sex448
offender. If the judge issues an order that contains a449
determination that a delinquent child is a habitual sex offender,450
the judge may impose a requirement subjecting the child to451
community notification provisions as described in that division.452

       (E) If a judge issues an order under division (C) of this453
section, the judge shall provide to the delinquent child and to454
the delinquent child's parent, guardian, or custodian a copy of455
the order and a notice containing the information described in456
divisions (A) and (B) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code. The457
judge shall provide the notice at the time of the issuance of the458
order, shall provide the notice as described in division (B)(1)(c)459
of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, and shall comply with460
divisions (B)(1), (B)(2), and (C) of that section regarding that461
notice and the provision of it.462

       (F) An order issued under division (C) of this section shall463
remain in effect for the period of time specified in section464
2950.07 of the Revised Code, subject to a further modification or465
a termination of the order under this section. If an order is466
issued under division (C) of this section, the child's attainment467
of eighteen or twenty-one years of age does not affect or468
terminate the order, and the order remains in effect for the469
period of time described in this division.470

       Sec. 2929.13.  (A) Except as provided in division (E), (F),471
or (G) of this section and unless a specific sanction is required472
to be imposed or is precluded from being imposed pursuant to law,473
a court that imposes a sentence upon an offender for a felony may474
impose any sanction or combination of sanctions on the offender475
that are provided in sections 2929.14 to 2929.18 of the Revised476
Code. The sentence shall not impose an unnecessary burden on state 477
or local government resources.478

       If the offender is eligible to be sentenced to community479
control sanctions, the court shall consider the appropriateness of480
imposing a financial sanction pursuant to section 2929.18 of the481
Revised Code or a sanction of community service pursuant to482
section 2929.17 of the Revised Code as the sole sanction for the483
offense. Except as otherwise provided in this division, if the484
court is required to impose a mandatory prison term for the485
offense for which sentence is being imposed, the court also may486
impose a financial sanction pursuant to section 2929.18 of the487
Revised Code but may not impose any additional sanction or488
combination of sanctions under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the489
Revised Code.490

       If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony491
OMVI offense or for a third degree felony OMVI offense, in492
addition to the mandatory term of local incarceration or the493
mandatory prison term required for the offense by division (G)(1)494
or (2) of this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a495
mandatory fine in accordance with division (B)(3) of section496
2929.18 of the Revised Code and may impose whichever of the497
following is applicable:498

       (1) For a fourth degree felony OMVI offense for which499
sentence is imposed under division (G)(1) of this section, an500
additional community control sanction or combination of community501
control sanctions under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised502
Code;503

       (2) For a third or fourth degree felony OMVI offense for504
which sentence is imposed under division (G)(2) of this section,505
an additional prison term as described in division (D)(4) of506
section 2929.14 of the Revised Code.507

       (B)(1) Except as provided in division (B)(2), (E), (F), or508
(G) of this section, in sentencing an offender for a felony of the509
fourth or fifth degree, the sentencing court shall determine510
whether any of the following apply:511

       (a) In committing the offense, the offender caused physical512
harm to a person.513

       (b) In committing the offense, the offender attempted to514
cause or made an actual threat of physical harm to a person with a515
deadly weapon.516

       (c) In committing the offense, the offender attempted to517
cause or made an actual threat of physical harm to a person, and518
the offender previously was convicted of an offense that caused519
physical harm to a person.520

       (d) The offender held a public office or position of trust521
and the offense related to that office or position; the offender's522
position obliged the offender to prevent the offense or to bring523
those committing it to justice; or the offender's professional524
reputation or position facilitated the offense or was likely to525
influence the future conduct of others.526

       (e) The offender committed the offense for hire or as part of 527
an organized criminal activity.528

       (f) The offense is a sex offense that is a fourth or fifth529
degree felony violation of section 2907.03, 2907.04, 2907.05,530
2907.22, 2907.31, 2907.321, 2907.322, 2907.323, or 2907.34 of the531
Revised Code.532

       (g) The offender at the time of the offense was serving, or533
the offender previously had served, a prison term.534

       (h) The offender committed the offense while under a535
community control sanction, while on probation, or while released536
from custody on a bond or personal recognizance.537

       (i) The offender committed the offense while in possession of 538
a firearm.539

       (2)(a) If the court makes a finding described in division540
(B)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) of this541
section and if the court, after considering the factors set forth542
in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a prison term543
is consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set544
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and finds that the545
offender is not amenable to an available community control546
sanction, the court shall impose a prison term upon the offender.547

       (b) Except as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this548
section, if the court does not make a finding described in549
division (B)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) of550
this section and if the court, after considering the factors set551
forth in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a552
community control sanction or combination of community control553
sanctions is consistent with the purposes and principles of554
sentencing set forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code, the555
court shall impose a community control sanction or combination of556
community control sanctions upon the offender.557

       (C) Except as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this558
section, in determining whether to impose a prison term as a559
sanction for a felony of the third degree or a felony drug offense560
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised561
Code and that is specified as being subject to this division for562
purposes of sentencing, the sentencing court shall comply with the563
purposes and principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the564
Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of the Revised Code.565

       (D) Except as provided in division (E) or (F) of this566
section, for a felony of the first or second degree and for a567
felony drug offense that is a violation of any provision of568
Chapter 2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a569
presumption in favor of a prison term is specified as being570
applicable, it is presumed that a prison term is necessary in571
order to comply with the purposes and principles of sentencing572
under section 2929.11 of the Revised Code. Notwithstanding the573
presumption established under this division, the sentencing court574
may impose a community control sanction or a combination of575
community control sanctions instead of a prison term on an576
offender for a felony of the first or second degree or for a577
felony drug offense that is a violation of any provision of578
Chapter 2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a579
presumption in favor of a prison term is specified as being580
applicable if it makes both of the following findings:581

       (1) A community control sanction or a combination of582
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender583
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable584
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a585
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors586
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.587

       (2) A community control sanction or a combination of588
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of589
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of590
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was591
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are592
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that593
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious594
than conduct normally constituting the offense.595

       (E)(1) Except as provided in division (F) of this section,596
for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of597
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the598
third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of a presumption599
under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of600
division (B) or (C) of this section in determining whether to601
impose a prison term for the offense shall be determined as602
specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06,603
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 2925.37 of the604
Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation.605

       (2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to606
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction607
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive608
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation609
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned610
unless the court determines on the record either of the following:611

       (a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the612
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug613
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program,614
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable615
period of participation in the program.616

       (b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is617
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set618
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code.619

       (F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, the 620
court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections 2929.02 621
to 2929.06, section 2929.14, or section 2971.03 of the Revised 622
Code and except as specifically provided in section 2929.20 or 623
2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is authorized for the 624
offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised Code shall not reduce 625
the terms pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.193, or any 626
other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised 627
Code for any of the following offenses:628

       (1) Aggravated murder when death is not imposed or murder;629

       (2) Any rape, regardless of whether force was involved and630
regardless of the age of the victim, or an attempt to commit rape 631
if, had the offender completed the rape that was attempted, the632
offender would have been subject to a sentence of life633
imprisonment or life imprisonment without parole for the rape;634

       (3) Gross sexual imposition or sexual battery, if the victim635
is under thirteen years of age, if the offender previously was636

battery, and if the victim of the previous offense was under639
thirteen years of age;640

2903.11, 2903.12, or 2903.13 of the Revised Code if the section642
requires the imposition of a prison term;643

       (5) A first, second, or third degree felony drug offense for644
which section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06,645
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, 2925.37, 3719.99, or646
4729.99 of the Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the647
violation, requires the imposition of a mandatory prison term;648

       (6) Any offense that is a first or second degree felony and649
that is not set forth in division (F)(1), (2), (3), or (4) of this650
section, if the offender previously was convicted of or pleaded651
guilty to aggravated murder, murder, any first or second degree652

substantially equivalent to one of those offenses;655

       (7) Any offense that is a third degree felony and that is656
listed in division (DD)(1) of section 2929.01 of the Revised Code657
if the offender previously was convicted of or pleaded guilty to658
any offense that is listed in division (DD)(2)(a)(i) or (ii) of659
section 2929.01 of the Revised Code;660

       (8) Any offense, other than a violation of section 2923.12 of 661
the Revised Code, that is a felony, if the offender had a firearm 662
on or about the offender's person or under the offender's control663
while committing the felony, with respect to a portion of the664
sentence imposed pursuant to division (D)(1)(a) of section 2929.14 665
of the Revised Code for having the firearm;666

       (9) Any offense of violence that is a felony, if the offender 667
wore or carried body armor while committing the felony offense of 668

       (10) Corrupt activity in violation of section 2923.32 of the672
Revised Code when the most serious offense in the pattern of673
corrupt activity that is the basis of the offense is a felony of674
the first degree;675

       (11) Any sexually violent offense for which the offender also 676
is convicted of or pleads guilty to a sexually violent predator677
specification that was included in the indictment, count in the 678

       (12) A violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2921.36 680
of the Revised Code, or a violation of division (C) of that 681
section involving an item listed in division (A)(1) or (2) of that 682
section, if the offender is an officer or employee of the683
department of rehabilitation and correction.684

       (G) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, if685
an offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony OMVI686
offense or for a third degree felony OMVI offense, the court shall687
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration688
or a mandatory prison term in accordance with the following:689

       (1) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree690
felony OMVI offense, the court may impose upon the offender a691
mandatory term of local incarceration of sixty days as specified692
in division (A)(4) of section 4511.99 of the Revised Code or a693

as specified in division (A)(8) of that section. The court shall695
not reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.193, or any696
other provision of the Revised Code. The court that imposes a697
mandatory term of local incarceration under this division shall698
specify whether the term is to be served in a jail, a699
community-based correctional facility, a halfway house, or an700
alternative residential facility, and the offender shall serve the701
term in the type of facility specified by the court. A mandatory702
term of local incarceration imposed under division (G)(1) of this703
section is not subject to extension under section 2967.11 of the704
Revised Code, to a period of post-release control under section705
2967.28 of the Revised Code, or to any other Revised Code706
provision that pertains to a prison term.707

       (2) If the offender is being sentenced for a third degree708
felony OMVI offense, or if the offender is being sentenced for a709
fourth degree felony OMVI offense and the court does not impose a710
mandatory term of local incarceration under division (G)(1) of711
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory712
prison term of sixty days as specified in division (A)(4) of713
section 4511.99 of the Revised Code or a mandatory prison term of714
one hundred twenty days as specified in division (A)(8) of that715
section. The court shall not reduce the term pursuant to section716
2929.20, 2967.193, or any other provision of the Revised Code. In717
no case shall an offender who once has been sentenced to a718
mandatory term of local incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1)719
of this section for a fourth degree felony OMVI offense be720
sentenced to another mandatory term of local incarceration under721
that division for any violation of division (A) of section 4511.19722
of the Revised Code. The court shall not sentence the offender to723
a community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of724
the Revised Code. The department of rehabilitation and correction725
may place an offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under726
this division in an intensive program prison established pursuant727
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code if the department gave the728
sentencing judge prior notice of its intent to place the offender729
in an intensive program prison established under that section and730
if the judge did not notify the department that the judge731
disapproved the placement. Upon the establishment of the initial732
intensive program prison pursuant to section 5120.033 of the733
Revised Code that is privately operated and managed by a734
contractor pursuant to a contract entered into under section 9.06735
of the Revised Code, both of the following apply:736

       (a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall737
make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of738
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division739
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that740
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.741

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full742
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 743
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 744
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant745
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 746
operated and managed prison.747

       (H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 748
offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall749
require the offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection750
procedure pursuant to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code if751
either of the following applies:752

       (1) The offense was a sexually violent offense, and the753
offender also was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually754
violent predator specification that was included in the755
indictment, count in the indictment, or information charging the756
sexually violent offense.757

       (2) The judge imposing sentence for the sexually oriented758
offense determines pursuant to division (B) of section 2950.09 of759
the Revised Code that the offender is a sexual predator.760

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 761
offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall762
include in the sentence a summary of the offender's duty to763
register pursuant to sectionduties imposed under sections 2950.04 764
of the Revised Code, the offender's duty to provide notice of a 765
change in residence address and register the new residence address 766
pursuant to section, 2950.05 of the Revised Code, the offender's 767
duty to periodically verify the offender's current residence 768
address pursuant to section, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code, and 769
the duration of the duties. The judge shall inform the offender, 770
at the time of sentencing, of those duties and of their duration 771
and, if required under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the 772
Revised Code, shall perform the duties specified in that section.773

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 774
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation 775
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 776
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 777
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors778
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section779
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to780
the felony category of the offense attempted.781

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 782
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 783
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is784
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled785
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court786
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that787
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse788
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of789
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next790
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in791
the attempt.792

       (K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the793
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.794

       Sec. 2929.19.  (A)(1) The court shall hold a sentencing795
hearing before imposing a sentence under this chapter upon an796
offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a felony and797
before resentencing an offender who was convicted of or pleaded798
guilty to a felony and whose case was remanded pursuant to section799
2953.07 or 2953.08 of the Revised Code. At the hearing, the800
offender, the prosecuting attorney, the victim or the victim's801
representative in accordance with section 2930.14 of the Revised802
Code, and, with the approval of the court, any other person may803
present information relevant to the imposition of sentence in the804
case. The court shall inform the offender of the verdict of the805
jury or finding of the court and ask the offender whether the806
offender has anything to say as to why sentence should not be807
imposed upon the offender.808

       (2) Except as otherwise provided in this division, before809
imposing sentence on an offender who is being sentenced for a810
sexually oriented offense that was committed on or after January811
1, 1997, and that is not a sexually violent offense, and before812
imposing sentence on an offender who is being sentenced for a813
sexually violent offense committed on or after January 1, 1997,814
and who was not charged with a sexually violent predator815
specification in the indictment, count in the indictment, or816
information charging the sexually violent offense, the court shall817
conduct a hearing in accordance with division (B) of section818
2950.09 of the Revised Code to determine whether the offender is a819
sexual predator. The court shall not conduct a hearing under that820
division if the offender is being sentenced for a sexually violent821
offense and a sexually violent predator specification was included822
in the indictment, count in the indictment, or information823
charging the sexually violent offense. Before imposing sentence on 824
an offender who is being sentenced for a sexually oriented825
offense, the court also shall comply with division (E) of section826
2950.09 of the Revised Code.827

       (B)(1) At the sentencing hearing, the court, before imposing828
sentence, shall consider the record, any information presented at829

       (1) If the public is provided adequate notice and information 1359
about sexual predators, habitual sex offenders, and certain other1360
offenders and delinquent children who commit sexually oriented 1361
offenses, members of the public and communities can develop 1362
constructive plans to prepare themselves and their children for 1363
the sexual predator's, habitual sex offender's, or other1364
offender's or delinquent child's release from imprisonment, a 1365
prison term, or other confinement or detention. This allows1366
members of the public and communities to meet with members of law1367
enforcement agencies to prepare and obtain information about the1368
rights and responsibilities of the public and the communities and1369
to provide education and counseling to their children.1370

       (2) Sexual predators and habitual sexSex offenders pose a 1371
high risk of engaging in further offensessexually abusive 1372
behavior even after being released from imprisonment, a prison 1373
term, or other confinement or detention, and that protection of1374
members of the public from sexual predators and habitual sex 1375
offenders is a paramount governmental interest.1376

       (3) The penal, juvenile, and mental health components of the1377
justice system of this state are largely hidden from public view,1378
and a lack of information from any component may result in the1379
failure of the system to satisfy this paramount governmental1380
interest of public safety described in division (A)(2) of this1381
section.1382

       (4) Overly restrictive confidentiality and liability laws1383
governing the release of information about sexual predators and1384
habitual sex offenders have reduced the willingness to release1385
information that could be appropriately released under the public1386
disclosure laws and have increased risks of public safety.1387

       (5) A person who is found to be a sexual predator or a1388
habitual sex offender has a reduced expectation of privacy because1389
of the public's interest in public safety and in the effective1390
operation of government.1391

       (6) The release of information about sexual predators and1392
habitual sex offenders to public agencies and the general public1393
will further the governmental interests of public safety and1394
public scrutiny of the criminal, juvenile, and mental health1395
systems as long as the information released is rationally related1396
to the furtherance of those goals.1397

       (B) The general assembly hereby declares that, in providing1398
in this chapter for registration regarding sexual predators,1399
habitual sex offenders, and offenders and certain delinquent1400
children who have committed sexually oriented offenses and for1401
community notification regarding sexual predators and habitual sex1402
offenders who are about to be or have been released from1403
imprisonment, a prison term, or other confinement or detention and1404
who will live in or near a particular neighborhood or who1405
otherwise will live in or near a particular neighborhood, it is1406
the general assembly's intent to protect the safety and general1407
welfare of the people of this state. The general assembly further1408
declares that it is the policy of this state to require the1409
exchange in accordance with this chapter of relevant information1410
about sexual predators and habitual sex offenders among public1411
agencies and officials and to authorize the release in accordance1412
with this chapter of necessary and relevant information about1413
sexual predators and habitual sex offenders to members of the1414
general public as a means of assuring public protection and that1415
the exchange or release of that information is not punitive.1416

       Sec. 2950.03. (A) Each person who has been convicted of, is1417
convicted of, has pleaded guilty to, or pleads guilty to a1418
sexually oriented offense and who has a duty to register pursuant1419

notification provisions regarding the offender's place of2923
residence that are contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of2924
the Revised Code without a hearing. The court may conduct a2925
hearing to determine both whether the offender previously has been2926
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense and2927
whether to impose a requirement that the offender be subject to2928
the community notification provisions as described in this2929
division, or may conduct a hearing solely to make the latter2930
determination. The court shall include in the offender's2931
institutional record any determination made under this division as2932
to whether the offender previously has been convicted of or2933
pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense, and, as such,2934
whether the offender is a habitual sex offender.2935

notification provisions relative to the sexually oriented offense3005
in question if the court does not so impose the requirement3006
described in that division. If the court imposes those community3007
notification provisions, the offender may appeal the judge's3008
determination that the offender is a habitual sex offender.3009

       (iv) If the court determined without a hearing that the3010
offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a3011
sexually oriented offense other than the offense in relation to3012
which the court determined that the offender is not a sexual3013
predator, and, as such, is a habitual sex offender, and the3014
hearing is solely to determine whether to impose a requirement3015
that the offender be subject to the specified community3016
notification provisions, after the hearing, the court may impose a3017
community notification requirement as described in division3018
(C)(2)(b)(ii) of this section. The offender shall not be subject3019
to the specified community notification provisions relative to the3020

may appeal as a matter of right the judge's determination under3035
this divisiondivisions (C)(2)(a) and (c) of this section as to 3036
whether the offender is, or is not, a sexual predator.3037

       If the hearing is scheduled under division (C)(2)(b) of this 3038
section to determine whether the offender previously has been 3039
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense or 3040
whether to subject the offender to the community notification 3041
provisions contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the 3042
Revised Code, the court shall attach the determination or 3043
determinations to the offender's sentence, shall provide a copy to 3044

adjudicated a delinquent child for committing a sexually oriented 3059
offense and who has been classified by a juvenile court judge a 3060
juvenile sex offender registrant or, if applicable, additionally 3061
has been determined by a juvenile court judge to be a sexual 3062
predator or habitual sex offender, may petition the adjudicating 3063
court for a reclassification or declassification pursuant to 3064
section 2152.85 of the Revised Code.3065

       Upon the expiration of the applicable period of time3066
specified in division (D)(1)(a) or (b) of this section, an3067
offender who has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually3068
oriented offense and who has been adjudicated as being a sexual3069
predator relative to the sexually oriented offense in the manner3070
described in division (B) or (C) of this section may petition the3071
judge who made the determination that the offender was a sexual3072
predator, or that judge's successor in office, to enter a3073
determination that the offender no longer is a sexual predator.3074
Upon the filing of the petition, the judge may review the prior3075
sexual predator determination that comprises the sexual predator3076
adjudication, and, upon consideration ofA judge who is reviewing 3077

section 2152.84 or 2152.85 of the Revised Code shall comply with 3079
this section. At the hearing, the judge shall consider all 3080
relevant evidence and information, including, but not limited to, 3081
the factors set forth in division (B)(3) of this section, either3082

sexual predator or shall enter an order denying the petition. The 3084
judge shall not enter a determination under this division that the3085
offenderdelinquent child no longer is a sexual predator unless 3086
the judge determines by clear and convincing evidence that the3087
offenderdelinquent child is unlikely to commit a sexually 3088
oriented offense in the future. If the judge enters a3089
determination under this division that the offenderdelinquent 3090
child no longer is a sexual predator, the judge shall notify the 3091
bureau of criminal identification and investigation and the parole 3092
board of the determination and shall include in the notice a 3093
statement of the reason or reasons why it determined that the 3094
delinquent child no longer is a sexual predator. Upon receipt of 3095
the notification, the bureau promptly shall notify the sheriff 3096
with whom the offenderdelinquent child most recently registered 3097
under section 2950.04 or 2950.05 of the Revised Code of the 3098
determination that the offenderdelinquent child no longer is a 3099
sexual predator. If the judge enters a determination under this3100
division that the offender no longer is a sexual predator and if3101
the offender has a duty to register under section 2950.04 of the3102
Revised Code resulting from the offender's conviction of or plea3103
of guilty to committing on or after the effective date of this3104
amendment an aggravated sexually oriented offense, the entry of3105
the determination under this division does not affect any duties3106
imposed upon the offender under this chapter as a result of that3107
conviction of or plea of guilty to the aggravated sexually3108
oriented offense. If the judge enters an order denying the3109
petition, the prior adjudication of the offender as a sexual3110
predator shall remain in effect. An offender determined to be a3111
sexual predator in the manner described in division (B) or (C) of3112
this section may file a petition under this division after the3113
expiration of the following periods of time:3114

committed, if, on or after January 1, 1997, the offender is3116
imprisoned or sentenced to a prison term or other confinement for3117
the sexually oriented offense in relation to which the3118
determination was made, the offender initially may file the3119
petition not earlier than one year prior to the offender's release3120
from the imprisonment, prison term, or other confinement by3121
discharge, parole, judicial release, or any other final release.3122
If the offender is sentenced on or after January 1, 1997, for the3123
sexually oriented offense in relation to which the determination3124
is made and is not imprisoned or sentenced to a prison term or3125
other confinement for the sexually oriented offense, the offender3126
initially may file the petition upon the expiration of one year3127
after the entry of the offender's judgment of conviction.3128

       (b) After the offender's initial filing of a petition under3129
division (D)(1)(a) of this section, thereafter, an offender may3130
file a petition under this division upon the expiration of five3131
years after the court has entered an order denying the petition3132
under division (D)(1)(a) of this section or the most recent3133
petition the offender has filed under this division.3134

       (2) Except as otherwise provided in this division, division3135
(D)(1) of this section does not apply to a person who is3136
classified as a sexual predator pursuant to division (A) of this3137
section. If a person who is so classified was sentenced to a3138
prison term pursuant to division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the3139
Revised Code and if the sentencing court terminates the offender's3140
prison term as provided in division (D) of section 2971.05 of the3141
Revised Code, the court's termination of the prison term3142

a sexual predator and if the offender has a duty to register under3146
section 2950.04 of the Revised Code resulting from the offender's3147
conviction of or plea of guilty to committing on or after the3148
effective date of this amendment an aggravated sexually oriented3149
offense, the determination under this division does not affect any3150
duties imposed upon the offender under this chapter as a result of3151
that conviction of or plea of guilty to the aggravated sexually3152
oriented offense. If the court so terminates the offender's prison 3153
term, the court shall notify the bureau of criminal identification 3154
and investigation and the parole board of the determination that 3155
the offender no longer is a sexual predator. Upon receipt of the 3156
notification, the bureau promptly shall notify the sheriff with 3157
whom the offender most recently registered under section 2950.04 3158
or 2950.05 of the Revised Code that the offender no longer is a 3159
sexual predator. If an offender who has been convicted of or 3160
pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense is classified as a 3161
sexual predator pursuant to division (A) of this section is3162
released from prison pursuant to a pardon or commutationor has 3163
been adjudicated as a sexual predator relative to the offense as 3164
described in division (B) or (C) of this section, the3165
classification or adjudication of the offender as a sexual3166
predator shall remain in effect after the offender's release, and3167
the offender may file one or more petitions in accordance with the3168
procedures and time limitations contained in division (D)(1) of3169
this section for a determination that the offender no longer is a3170
sexual predatoris permanent and continues in effect until the 3171
offender's death and in no case shall the classification or 3172
adjudication be removed or terminated.3173

       (E)(1) If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to3174
committing, on or after January 1, 1997, a sexually oriented3175
offense, the judge who is to impose sentence on the offender shall3176
determine, prior to sentencing, whether the offender previously3177
has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or adjudicated a3178
delinquent child for committing, a sexually oriented offense and3179
is a habitual sex offender. The judge who is to impose or has3180
imposed an order of disposition upon a child who is adjudicated a3181
delinquent child for committing on or after January 1, 2002, a3182
sexually oriented offense shall determine, prior to entering the3183
order classifying the delinquent child a juvenile sex offender3184
registrant, whether the delinquent child previously has been3185
convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or adjudicated a delinquent3186
child for committing, a sexually oriented offense and is a3187
habitual sex offender, if either of the following applies:3188

       (a) The judge is required by section 2152.82 or division (A)3189
of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code to classify the child a3190
juvenile sex offender registrant;3191

       (b) Division (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code3192
applies regarding the child, the judge conducts a hearing under3193
that division for the purposes described in that division, and the3194
judge determines at that hearing that the child will be classified3195
a juvenile sex offender registrant.3196

       (2) If, under division (E)(1) of this section, the judge3197
determines that the offender or delinquent child previously has3198
not been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or been adjudicated a3199
delinquent child for committing, a sexually oriented offense or3200
that the offender otherwise does not satisfy the criteria for3201
being a habitual sex offender, the judge shall specify in the3202
offender's sentence or in the order classifying the delinquent3203
child a juvenile sex offender registrant that the judge has3204
determined that the offender or delinquent child is not a habitual3205
sex offender. If the judge determines that the offender or3206
delinquent child previously has been convicted of or pleaded3207
guilty to, or been adjudicated a delinquent child for committing,3208
a sexually oriented offense and that the offender satisfies all3209
other criteria for being a habitual sex offender, the judge shall3210
specify in the offender's sentence and the judgment of conviction3211
that contains the sentence or in the order classifying the3212
delinquent child a juvenile sex offender registrant that the judge3213
has determined that the offender or delinquent child is a habitual3214
sex offender and may impose a requirement in that sentence and3215
judgment of conviction or in that order that the offender or3216
delinquent child be subject to the community notification3217
provisions regarding the offender's or delinquent child's place of3218
residence that are contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of3219
the Revised Code. Unless the habitual sex offender also has been3220
adjudicated as being a sexual predator relative to the sexually3221
oriented offense in question or the habitual sex offender was3222
convicted of or pleaded guilty to an aggravated sexually oriented3223
offense that was committed on or after the effective date of this3224
amendment, the offender or delinquent child shall be subject to3225
those community notification provisions only if the court imposes3226
the requirement described in this division in the offender's3227
sentence and the judgment of conviction or in the order3228
classifying the delinquent child a juvenile sex offender3229
registrant. If the court determines pursuant to this division or 3230
division (C)(2) of this section that an offender is a habitual sex 3231
offender, the determination is permanent and continues in effect 3232
until the offender's death, and in no case shall the determination 3233
be removed or terminated.3234

       If a court in another state, a federal court, military court, 3235
or Indian tribal court, or a court in any nation other than the 3236
United States determines a person to be a habitual sex offender in 3237
that jurisdiction, the person is considered to be determined to be 3238
a habitual sex offender in this state. If the court in the other 3239
state, the federal court, military court, or Indian tribal court, 3240
or the court in the nation other than the United States subjects 3241
the habitual sex offender to community notification regarding the 3242
person's place of residence, the person, as much as is 3243
practicable, is subject to the community notification provisions 3244
regarding the person's place of residence that are contained in 3245
sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code, unless the court 3246
that so subjected the person to community notification determines 3247
that the person no longer is subject to community notification.3248

       (F)(1) An offender or delinquent child classified as a sexual 3249
predator may petition the court of common pleas or, for a3250
delinquent child, the juvenile court of the county in which the3251
offender or delinquent child resides or temporarily is domiciled3252
to enter a determination that the offender or delinquent child is3253
not an adjudicated sexual predator in this state for purposes of3254
the sex offender registration requirements of this chapter or the3255
community notification provisions contained in sections 2950.103256
and 2950.11 of the Revised Code if all of the following apply:3257

       (a) The offender or delinquent child was convicted of,3258
pleaded guilty to, or was adjudicated a delinquent child for3259
committing, a sexually oriented offense in another state or, in a3260
federal court, a military court, or an Indian tribal court, or in 3261
a court of any nation other than the United States.3262

       (b) As a result of the conviction, plea of guilty, or3263
adjudication described in division (F)(1)(a) of this section, the3264
offender or delinquent child is required under the law of the3265
jurisdiction under which the offender or delinquent child was3266
convicted, pleaded guilty, or was adjudicated to register as a sex3267
offender until the offender's or delinquent child's death and is3268
required to verify the offender's or delinquent child's address on3269
at least a quarterly basis each year.3270

       (c) The offender or delinquent child was automatically3271
classified as a sexual predator under division (A) of this section3272
in relation to the conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication3273
described in division (F)(1)(a) of this section.3274

       (2) The court may enter a determination that the offender or3275
delinquent child filing the petition described in division (F)(1)3276
of this section is not an adjudicated sexual predator in this3277
state for purposes of the sex offender registration requirements3278
of this chapter or the community notification provisions contained3279
in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code only if the3280
offender or delinquent child proves by clear and convincing3281
evidence that the requirement of the other jurisdiction that the3282
offender or delinquent child register as a sex offender until the3283
offender's or delinquent child's death and the requirement that3284
the offender or delinquent child verify the offender's or3285
delinquent child's address on at least a quarterly basis each year3286
is not substantially similar to a classification as a sexual3287
predator for purposes of this chapter. If the court enters a 3288
determination that the offender or delinquent child is not an 3289
adjudicated sexual predator in this state for those purposes, the 3290
court shall include in the determination a statement of the reason 3291
or reasons why it so determined.3292

guilty to, or has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, a3294
sexually oriented offense or a person is adjudicated a delinquent3295
child for committing a sexually oriented offense and is classified3296
a juvenile sex offender registrant or is an out-of-state juvenile3297
sex offender registrant based on that adjudication, if the3298
offender or delinquent child is in any category specified in3299

2950.04 or 2950.05 of the Revised Code, and if the victim of the3302
sexually oriented offense has made a request in accordance with3303
rules adopted by the attorney general that specifies that the3304
victim would like to be provided the notices described in this3305
section, the sheriff shall notify the victim of the sexually3306
oriented offense, in writing, that the offender or delinquent3307
child has registered and shall include in the notice the3308
offender's or delinquent child's name and residencethe address or3309
addresses of the offender's residence, school, institution of 3310
higher education, or place of employment, as applicable, or the 3311
delinquent child's name and residence address or addresses. The 3312
sheriff shall provide the notice required by this division to the 3313
victim at the most recent residence address available for that 3314
victim, not later than seventy-two hoursfive days after the 3315
offender or delinquent child registers with the sheriff.3316

       (2) If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to, or has3317
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, a sexually oriented3318
offense or a person is adjudicated a delinquent child for3319
committing a sexually oriented offense and is classified a3320
juvenile sex offender registrant or is an out-of-state juvenile3321
sex offender registrant based on that adjudication, if the3322
offender or delinquent child is in any category specified in3323
division (B)(1)(a), (b), or (c) of this section, if the offender3324
or delinquent child registers with a sheriff pursuant to section3325
2950.04 or 2950.05 of the Revised Code, if the victim of the3326
sexually oriented offense has made a request in accordance with3327
rules adopted by the attorney general that specifies that the3328
victim would like to be provided the notices described in this3329
section, and if the offender or delinquent child notifies the3330
sheriff of a change of residence, school, institution of higher 3331
education, or place of employment address or the delinquent child 3332
notifies the sheriff of a change of residence address pursuant to3333
section 2950.05 of the Revised Code, the sheriff shall notify the 3334
victim of the sexually oriented offense, in writing, that the3335
offender's or delinquent child's residence address has changed and3336
shall include in the notice the offender's or delinquent child's3337
name and the new residence address or addresses of the offender's 3338
residence, school, institution of higher education, or place of 3339
employment, as applicable, or the delinquent child's name and new 3340
residence address or addresses. The sheriff shall provide the 3341
notice required by this division to the victim at the most recent3342

lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors4161
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.4162

       (2) A community control sanction or a combination of4163
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of4164
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of4165
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was4166
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are4167
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that4168
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious4169
than conduct normally constituting the offense.4170

Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation.4180

       (2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to4181
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction4182

2967.193, or any other provision of the Revised Code. In no case4290
shall an offender who once has been sentenced to a mandatory term4291
of local incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1) of this section4292
for a fourth degree felony OVI offense be sentenced to another4293
mandatory term of local incarceration under that division for any4294
violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code.4295
The court shall not sentence the offender to a community control4296

prior notice of its intent to place the offender in an intensive 4302
program prison established under that section and if the judge did 4303
not notify the department that the judge disapproved the4304
placement. Upon the establishment of the initial intensive program 4305
prison pursuant to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is 4306
privately operated and managed by a contractor pursuant to a 4307
contract entered into under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both 4308
of the following apply:4309

       (a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall4310
make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of4311
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division4312
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that4313
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.4314

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full4315
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 4316
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 4317
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant4318
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 4319
operated and managed prison.4320

       (H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 4321
offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall4322

procedure pursuant to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code if4324
either of the following applies:4325

       (1) The offense was a sexually violent offense, and the4326

violent predator specification that was included in the4328
indictment, count in the indictment, or information charging the4329
sexually violent offense.4330

       (2) The judge imposing sentence for the sexually oriented4331
offense determines pursuant to division (B) of section 2950.09 of4332
the Revised Code that the offender is a sexual predator.4333

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 4334
offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall4335
include in the sentence a summary of the offender's duty to4336
register pursuant to sectionduties imposed under sections 2950.04 4337
of the Revised Code, the offender's duty to provide notice of a 4338
change in residence address and register the new residence address 4339
pursuant to section, 2950.05 of the Revised Code, the offender's 4340
duty to periodically verify the offender's current residence 4341
address pursuant to section, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code, and 4342
the duration of the duties. The judge shall inform the offender, 4343
at the time of sentencing, of those duties and of their duration 4344
and, if required under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the 4345
Revised Code, shall perform the duties specified in that section.4346

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 4347
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation 4348
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 4349
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 4350
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors4351
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section4352
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to4353
the felony category of the offense attempted.4354

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 4355
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 4356
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is4357
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled4358
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court4359
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that4360
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse4361
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of4362
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next4363
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in4364
the attempt.4365

       (K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the4366
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.4367

       Sec. 2929.19.  (A)(1) The court shall hold a sentencing4368
hearing before imposing a sentence under this chapter upon an4369
offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a felony and4370
before resentencing an offender who was convicted of or pleaded4371
guilty to a felony and whose case was remanded pursuant to section4372
2953.07 or 2953.08 of the Revised Code. At the hearing, the4373
offender, the prosecuting attorney, the victim or the victim's4374
representative in accordance with section 2930.14 of the Revised4375
Code, and, with the approval of the court, any other person may4376
present information relevant to the imposition of sentence in the4377
case. The court shall inform the offender of the verdict of the4378
jury or finding of the court and ask the offender whether the4379
offender has anything to say as to why sentence should not be4380
imposed upon the offender.4381

       (2) Except as otherwise provided in this division, before4382
imposing sentence on an offender who is being sentenced for a4383
sexually oriented offense that was committed on or after January4384
1, 1997, and that is not a sexually violent offense, and before4385
imposing sentence on an offender who is being sentenced for a4386
sexually violent offense committed on or after January 1, 1997,4387
and who was not charged with a sexually violent predator4388
specification in the indictment, count in the indictment, or4389
information charging the sexually violent offense, the court shall4390
conduct a hearing in accordance with division (B) of section4391
2950.09 of the Revised Code to determine whether the offender is a4392
sexual predator. The court shall not conduct a hearing under that4393
division if the offender is being sentenced for a sexually violent4394
offense and a sexually violent predator specification was included4395
in the indictment, count in the indictment, or information4396

sentence, shall consider the record, any information presented at4402
the hearing by any person pursuant to division (A) of this4403
section, and, if one was prepared, the presentence investigation4404
report made pursuant to section 2951.03 of the Revised Code or4405
Criminal Rule 32.2, and any victim impact statement made pursuant4406
to section 2947.051 of the Revised Code.4407

       (2) The court shall impose a sentence and shall make a4408
finding that gives its reasons for selecting the sentence imposed4409
in any of the following circumstances:4410

sentencing set forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code, and4420
any factors listed in divisions (B)(1)(a) to (i) of section4421
2929.13 of the Revised Code that it found to apply relative to the4422
