Sec. 2743.49. (A)(1) In January of each odd-numbered year, | 12 |
the auditor of state, in accordance with this division and | 13 |
division (A)(2) of this section, shall adjust the actual dollar | 14 |
figure specified in division (E)(2)(b) of section 2743.48 of the | 15 |
Revised Code or the actual dollar amount determined pursuant to | 16 |
this section. The adjustment shall be based on the yearly average | 17 |
of the previous two years of the consumer price index for all | 18 |
urban consumers or its successive equivalent, as determined by the | 19 |
United States department of labor, bureau of labor statistics, or | 20 |
its successor in responsibility, for all items, Series A. Using | 21 |
The auditor of state shall calculate the adjustment in the | 22 |
following manner: | 23 |
(a) First, using the yearly average for the immediately | 24 |
preceding odd-numbered year as the base year, the auditor of state | 25 |
shall compare the most current average consumer price index with | 26 |
that determined in the even-numbered year immediately preceding | 27 |
that odd-numbered year and shall determine the percentage increase | 28 |
or decrease. The auditor of state shall multiply the percentage | 29 |
increase or decrease by the actual dollar figure specified in | 30 |
division (E)(2)(b) of section 2743.48 of the Revised Code or the | 31 |
actual dollar figure determined for the previous odd-numbered year | 32 |
under this section and shall add the product to or subtract the | 33 |
product from its corresponding actual dollar figure, as | 34 |
applicable, for the previous odd-numbered year. | 35 |
(b) Second, using
the yearly average for the immediately | 36 |
preceding even-numbered
year as the base year, the auditor of | 37 |
state shall compare the most
current average consumer price index | 38 |
with that determined in the
preceding odd-numbered year | 39 |
immediately preceding that even-numbered year and shall determine | 40 |
the percentage
increase or decrease. The auditor of state shall | 41 |
multiply the
percentage increase or decrease by the actual dollar | 42 |
figure
specified in division (E)(2)(b) of section 2743.48 of the | 43 |
Revised
Code or the actual dollar figure determined under division | 44 |
(A)(1)(a) of this section for the previous
odd-numbered | 45 |
even-numbered year under this section and shall add the product to | 46 |
or subtract the product from its corresponding actual dollar | 47 |
figure, as applicable, for the previous odd-numbered year. The | 48 |
resulting figure is the adjusted dollar amount determined under | 49 |
this section for purposes of this section and section 2743.48 of | 50 |
the Revised Code. | 51 |
(2) On or before the fifteenth day of February of each | 61 |
odd-numbered year, the auditor of state shall prepare a report | 62 |
setting forth the amount that a wrongfully imprisoned individual | 63 |
is entitled to for each full year of imprisonment in the state | 64 |
correctional institution for the offense of which the wrongfully | 65 |
imprisoned individual was found guilty as provided in division | 66 |
(E)(2)(b) of section 2743.49 of the Revised Code and as calculated | 67 |
in accordance with this section. The report and all documents | 68 |
relating to the calculations contained in the report are public | 69 |
records. The report shall contain an indication of the period in | 70 |
which the calculated amount applies, a summary of how the amount | 71 |
was calculated, and a statement that the report and all related | 72 |
documents are available for inspection and copying at the office | 73 |
of the auditor of state. | 74 |
