its authority to issue such an order under section 2919.26 of the517
Revised Code.518

       A complaint, a copy of which has been attached to this519
motion, has been filed in this court charging the named defendant520
with .......................... (name of the specified violation 521
or the offense of violence charged) in circumstances in which the 522
victim was a family or household member in violation of (section 523
of the Revised Code designating the specified violation or offense 524

violation of a municipal ordinance that is substantially similar526

appear because of hospitalization or a medical condition resulting533
from the offense alleged in the complaint, a person who can534
provide information about my need for a temporary protection order535
must appear before the court in lieu of my appearing in court. I536
understand that any temporary protection order granted pursuant to537

court and provide the court with the information that it requests556
concerning the basis of the motion. If the person who requested557
the order is unable to appear and if the court finds that the558
failure to appear is because of the person's hospitalization or559
medical condition resulting from the offense alleged in the560
complaint, another person who is able to provide the court with561
the information it requests may appear in lieu of the person who562
requested the order. If the court finds that the safety and563

by the alleged offender's entry into one of those places otherwise582
upon the consent of the complainant, alleged victim, or family or583
household member.584

       (b) Division (C)(2)(a) of this section does not limit any585
discretion of a court to determine that an alleged offender586
charged with a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code,587
with a violation of a municipal ordinance substantially equivalent588
to that section, or with contempt of court, which charge is based589
on an alleged violation of a temporary protection order issued590
under this section, did not commit the violation or was not in591
contempt of court.592

       (D)(1) Upon the filing of a complaint that alleges a 593
violation of section 2909.06, 2909.07, 2911.12, or 2911.211 of the 594

release if it finds that the safety and protection of the 604
complainant, alleged victim, or other family or household member 605
of the alleged offender may be impaired by the continued presence 606
of the alleged offender.607

       (2) If the court issues a temporary protection order under608
this section as an ex parte order, it shall conduct, as soon as609
possible after the issuance of the order, a hearing in the610
presence of the alleged offender not later than the next day on611
which the court is scheduled to conduct business after the day on612
which the alleged offender was arrested or at the time of the613
appearance of the alleged offender pursuant to summons to614

jurisdiction to modify the order issued by the municipal court or633
county court. This division applies when the alleged offender is634
bound over to the court of common pleas as a result of the person635

the felony has been committed and that the alleged offender639
committed it, as a result of the alleged offender having been640
indicted for the felony, or in any other manner.641

issued under this section shall be issued by the court to the668
complainant, to the alleged victim, to the person who requested669
the order, to the defendant, and to all law enforcement agencies670
that have jurisdiction to enforce the order. The court shall671
direct that a copy of the order be delivered to the defendant on672
the same day that the order is entered. If a municipal court or a673
county court issues a temporary protection order under this674
section and if, subsequent to the issuance of the order, the675
defendant who is the subject of the order is bound over to the676
court of common pleas for prosecution as described in division677
(D)(4) of this section, the municipal court or county court shall678

and has not pleaded guilty to a specification of the type 1419
described in section 2941.1413 of the Revised Code, the court may 1420

community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the 1463
Revised Code, but the offender shall serve the prison term prior 1464

rehabilitation and correction may place an offender sentenced to a 1466
mandatory prison term under this division in an intensive program 1467
prison established pursuant to section 5120.033 of the Revised1468
Code if the department gave the sentencing judge prior notice of 1469
its intent to place the offender in an intensive program prison 1470
established under that section and if the judge did not notify the 1471
department that the judge disapproved the placement. Upon the 1472
establishment of the initial intensive program prison pursuant to 1473
section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is privately operated1474
and managed by a contractor pursuant to a contract entered into 1475
under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both of the following 1476
apply:1477

offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division1480
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that1481
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.1482

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full1483
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 1484
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 1485
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant1486
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 1487
operated and managed prison.1488

offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall1490

procedure pursuant to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code if1492
either of the following applies:1493

homicide, assault, or kidnapping offense and, in relation to that 1495
offense, the offender was adjudicated a sexually violent predator.1496

offense determines pursuant to division (B) of section 2950.09 of1498
the Revised Code that the offender is a sexual predator.1499

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 1500
offense that is not a registration-exempt sexually oriented 1501
offense or for a child-victim oriented offense committed on or 1502
after January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a 1503
summary of the offender's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, 1504
2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and the1505
duration of the duties. The judge shall inform the offender, at 1506
the time of sentencing, of those duties and of their duration and, 1507
if required under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the 1508
Revised Code, shall perform the duties specified in that section.1509

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 1510
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation 1511
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 1512
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 1513
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors1514
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section1515
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to1516
the felony category of the offense attempted.1517

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 1518
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 1519
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is1520
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled1521
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court1522
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that1523
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse1524
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of1525
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next1526
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in1527
the attempt.1528

       (K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the1529
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.1530

       (L) At the time of sentencing an offender who is a sexual 1531
predator for any sexually oriented offense, if the offender does 1532
not serve a prison term or jail term, the court may require that 1533
the offender be monitored by means of a global positioning device. 1534
If the court requires such monitoring, the cost of monitoring 1535
shall be borne by the offender. If the offender is indigent, the 1536
cost of compliance shall be paid by the crime victims reparations 1537
fund.1538

       Sec. 2929.14.  (A) Except as provided in division (C),1539
(D)(1), (D)(2), (D)(3), (D)(4), (D)(5), (D)(6), or (G) of this1540
section and except in relation to an offense for which a sentence1541
of death or life imprisonment is to be imposed, if the court1542
imposing a sentence upon an offender for a felony elects or is1543
required to impose a prison term on the offender pursuant to this1544
chapter, the court shall impose a definite prison term that shall1545
be one of the following:1546

       (1) For a felony of the first degree, the prison term shall1547
be three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years.1548

be two, three, four, five, six, seven, or eight years.1550

be one, two, three, four, or five years.1552

or 2907.05 of the Revised Code, or in Chapter 2925. of the Revised 1560
Code, if the court imposing a sentence upon an offender for a 1561
felony elects or is required to impose a prison term on the 1562
offender, the court shall impose the shortest prison term 1563
authorized for the offense pursuant to division (A) of this 1564
section, unless one or more of the following applies:1565

       (1) The offender was serving a prison term at the time of the 1566
offense, or the offender previously had served a prison term.1567

       (2) The court finds on the record that the shortest prison1568
term will demean the seriousness of the offender's conduct or will1569
not adequately protect the public from future crime by the1570
offender or others.1571

       (C) Except as provided in division (G) of this section or in1572

a felony also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification 1689
of the type described in section 2941.149 of the Revised Code that 1690
the offender is a repeat violent offenderdivision (D)(2)(b) of 1691

offender, in addition to the longest prison term from the range of 1693
terms authorized or required for the offense under division (A) of 1694
this section that may be the longest term in the range and that 1695
shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20, section 1696
2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. 1697
of the Revised Code. If the court finds that the repeat violent 1698
offender, in committing the offense, caused any physical harm that 1699
carried a substantial risk of death to a person or that involved 1700
substantial permanent incapacity or substantial permanent 1701
disfigurement of a person, the court shall impose the longest 1702
prison term from the range of terms authorized for the offense 1703
under division (A) of this section.1704

       (b) If the court imposing a prison term on a repeat violent1705

respect to the prison terms imposed on the offender pursuant to1711
division (D)(2)(a) of this section and, if applicable, divisions1712
(D)(1) and (3) of this section:1713

       (i), an additional definite prison term of one, two, three, 1714
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years if all of the 1715
following criteria are met:1716

if applicable, division (D)(1) or (3) of this section are 1735
inadequate to punish the offender and protect the public from 1736
future crime, because the applicable factors under section 2929.121737
of the Revised Code indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism 1738
outweigh the applicable factors under that section indicating a 1739
lesser likelihood of recidivism.1740

terms imposed pursuant to division (D)(2)(a)(iii) of this section 1742
and, if applicable, division (D)(1) or (3) of this section are 1743
demeaning to the seriousness of the offense, because one or more 1744
of the factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code1745
indicating that the offender's conduct is more serious than 1746
conduct normally constituting the offense are present, and they 1747

constituting the offense.1750

violence and the court does not impose a sentence of life 1774
imprisonment without parole, or any felony of the second degree 1775
that is an offense of violence and the trier of fact finds that 1776

or more offenses committed at the same time or as part of the same 1781
act or event shall be considered one offense, and that one offense 1782
shall be the offense with the greatest penalty.1783

       (d) A sentence imposed under division (D)(2)(a) or (b) of 1784
this section shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20 or 1785

additional prison term imposed under this section consecutively to 1788
and prior to the prison term imposed for the underlying offense.1789

sentenced for a fourth degree felony OVI offense, the court,1835
notwithstanding division (A)(4) of this section, may sentence the1836
offender to a definite prison term of not less than six months and1837
not more than thirty months, and if the offender is being1838

who is under detention at a detention facility commits a felony1935
violation of section 2923.131 of the Revised Code, or if an1936
offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or other residential1937

program of shock incarceration or in an intensive program prison2062
and the department does not subsequently place the offender in the2063
recommended program or prison, the department shall send a notice2064
to the court indicating why the offender was not placed in the2065
recommended program or prison.2066

       If the court does not make a recommendation under this2067
division with respect to an offender and if the department2068
determines as specified in section 5120.031 or 5120.032 of the2069
Revised Code, whichever is applicable, that the offender is2070
eligible for placement in a program or prison of that nature, the2071
department shall screen the offender and determine if there is an2072
available program of shock incarceration or an intensive program2073
prison for which the offender is suited. If there is an available2074
program of shock incarceration or an intensive program prison for2075
which the offender is suited, the department shall notify the2076
court of the proposed placement of the offender as specified in2077
section 5120.031 or 5120.032 of the Revised Code and shall include2078
with the notice a brief description of the placement. The court2079
shall have ten days from receipt of the notice to disapprove the2080
placement.2081

       Sec. 2941.149.  (A) The determination by a court that an 2082
offender is a repeat violent offender is precluded unless the2083
indictment, count in the indictment, or information charging the2084
offender specifies that the offender is a repeat violent offender. 2085
The specification shall be stated at the end of the body of the 2086
indictment, count, or information, and shall be stated in 2087
substantially the following form:2088

       "SPECIFICATION (or, SPECIFICATION TO THE FIRST COUNT). The 2089
Grand Jurors (or insert the person's or prosecuting attorney's 2090
name when appropriate) further find and specify that (set forth2091
that the offender is a repeat violent offender)."2092

       (B) The court shall determine the issue of whether an 2093
offender is a repeat violent offender.2094

       (C) At the arraignment of the defendant or as soon thereafter 2095
as is practicable, the prosecuting attorney may give notice to the 2096
defendant of the prosecuting attorney's intention to use a 2097
certified copy of the entry of judgment of a prior conviction as 2098
proof of that prior conviction. The defendant must then give 2099
notice to the prosecuting attorney of the defendant's intention to 2100
object to the use of the entry of judgment. If the defendant 2101
pursuant to Criminal Rule 12 does not give notice of that 2102
intention to the prosecuting attorney before trial, the defendant 2103
waives the objection to the use of an entry of judgment as proof 2104
of the defendant's prior conviction, as shown on the entry of 2105
judgment.2106

       (D) As used in this section, "repeat violent offender" has 2107
the same meaning as in section 2929.01 of the Revised Code.2108

       Sec. 2953.08.  (A) In addition to any other right to appeal 2109
and except as provided in division (D) of this section, a 2110
defendant who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony may 2111
appeal as a matter of right the sentence imposed upon the 2112
defendant on one of the following grounds:2113

       (1) The sentence consisted of or included the maximum prison 2114
term allowed for the offense by division (A) of section 2929.14 of 2115
the Revised Code, the sentence was not imposed pursuant to 2116
division (D)(3)(b) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code, the 2117
maximum prison term was not required for the offense pursuant to 2118
Chapter 2925. or any other provision of the Revised Code, and the 2119
court imposed the sentence under one of the following 2120
circumstances:2121

       (a) The sentence was imposed for only one offense.2122

       (b) The sentence was imposed for two or more offenses arising 2123
out of a single incident, and the court imposed the maximum prison 2124
term for the offense of the highest degree.2125

       (2) The sentence consisted of or included a prison term, the 2126
offense for which it was imposed is a felony of the fourth or 2127
fifth degree or is a felony drug offense that is a violation of a 2128
provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is 2129
specified as being subject to division (B) of section 2929.13 of 2130
the Revised Code for purposes of sentencing, and the court did not 2131
specify at sentencing that it found one or more factors specified2132
in divisions (B)(1)(a) to (i) of section 2929.13 of the Revised 2133
Code to apply relative to the defendant. If the court specifies 2134
that it found one or more of those factors to apply relative to 2135
the defendant, the defendant is not entitled under this division 2136
to appeal as a matter of right the sentence imposed upon the 2137
offender.2138

       (3) The person was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a 2139
violent sex offense or a designated homicide, assault, or 2140
kidnapping offense, was adjudicated a sexually violent predator in 2141
relation to that offense, and was sentenced pursuant to division 2142
(A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, if the minimum term 2143
of the indefinite term imposed pursuant to division (A)(3) of2144
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code is the longest term available 2145
for the offense from among the range of terms listed in section 2146
2929.14 of the Revised Code. As used in this division, "designated 2147
homicide, assault, or kidnapping offense" and "violent sex 2148
offense" have the same meanings as in section 2971.01 of the 2149
Revised Code. As used in this division, "adjudicated a sexually 2150
violent predator" has the same meaning as in section 2929.01 of 2151
the Revised Code, and a person is "adjudicated a sexually violent 2152
predator" in the same manner and the same circumstances as are 2153
described in that section.2154

       (4) The sentence is contrary to law.2155

       (5) The sentence consisted of an additional prison term of 2156
ten years imposed pursuant to division (D)(2)(b)(a) of section2157
2929.14 of the Revised Code.2158

       (6) The sentence consisted of an additional prison term of2159
ten years imposed pursuant to division (D)(3)(b) of section 2160
2929.14 of the Revised Code.2161

       (B) In addition to any other right to appeal and except as 2162
provided in division (D) of this section, a prosecuting attorney, 2163
a city director of law, village solicitor, or similar chief legal 2164
officer of a municipal corporation, or the attorney general, if 2165
one of those persons prosecuted the case, may appeal as a matter 2166
of right a sentence imposed upon a defendant who is convicted of 2167
or pleads guilty to a felony or, in the circumstances described in 2168
division (B)(3) of this section the modification of a sentence 2169
imposed upon such a defendant, on any of the following grounds:2170

       (1) The sentence did not include a prison term despite a 2171
presumption favoring a prison term for the offense for which it 2172
was imposed, as set forth in section 2929.13 or Chapter 2925. of 2173
the Revised Code.2174

       (2) The sentence is contrary to law.2175

       (3) The sentence is a modification under section 2929.20 of 2176
the Revised Code of a sentence that was imposed for a felony of 2177
the first or second degree.2178

       (C)(1) In addition to the right to appeal a sentence granted 2179
under division (A) or (B) of this section, a defendant who is 2180
convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony may seek leave to appeal 2181
a sentence imposed upon the defendant on the basis that the 2182
sentencing judge has imposed consecutive sentences under division 2183
(E)(3) or (4) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code and that the2184
consecutive sentences exceed the maximum prison term allowed by2185
division (A) of that section for the most serious offense of which 2186
the defendant was convicted. Upon the filing of a motion under 2187
this division, the court of appeals may grant leave to appeal the 2188
sentence if the court determines that the allegation included as 2189
the basis of the motion is true.2190

       (2) A defendant may seek leave to appeal an additional 2191
sentence imposed upon the defendant pursuant to division (D)(2)(a) 2192
or (b) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code if the additional 2193
sentence is for a definite prison term that is longer than five 2194
years.2195

       (D)(1) A sentence imposed upon a defendant is not subject to 2196
review under this section if the sentence is authorized by law, 2197
has been recommended jointly by the defendant and the prosecution 2198
in the case, and is imposed by a sentencing judge.2199

       (2) Except as provided in division (C)(2) of this section, a 2200
sentence imposed upon a defendant is not subject to review under 2201
this section if the sentence is imposed pursuant to division 2202
(D)(2)(b) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code. Except as 2203
otherwise provided in this division, a defendant retains all 2204
rights to appeal as provided under this chapter or any other 2205
provision of the Revised Code. A defendant has the right to appeal 2206
under this chapter or any other provision of the Revised Code the 2207
court's application of division (D)(2)(c) of section 2929.14 of 2208
the Revised Code.2209

       (3) A sentence imposed for aggravated murder or murder2210
pursuant to sections 2929.02 to 2929.06 of the Revised Code is not 2211
subject to review under this section.2212

       (E) A defendant, prosecuting attorney, city director of law, 2213
village solicitor, or chief municipal legal officer shall file an 2214
appeal of a sentence under this section to a court of appeals 2215
within the time limits specified in Rule 4(B) of the Rules of2216
Appellate Procedure, provided that if the appeal is pursuant to 2217
division (B)(3) of this section, the time limits specified in that2218
rule shall not commence running until the court grants the motion 2219
that makes the sentence modification in question. A sentence 2220
appeal under this section shall be consolidated with any other 2221
appeal in the case. If no other appeal is filed, the court of 2222
appeals may review only the portions of the trial record that 2223
pertain to sentencing.2224

       (F) On the appeal of a sentence under this section, the 2225
record to be reviewed shall include all of the following, as 2226
applicable:2227

       (1) Any presentence, psychiatric, or other investigative 2228
report that was submitted to the court in writing before the 2229
sentence was imposed. An appellate court that reviews a 2230
presentence investigation report prepared pursuant to section2231
2947.06 or 2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 in 2232
connection with the appeal of a sentence under this section shall 2233
comply with division (D)(3) of section 2951.03 of the Revised Code 2234
when the appellate court is not using the presentence 2235
investigation report, and the appellate court's use of a2236
presentence investigation report of that nature in connection with 2237
the appeal of a sentence under this section does not affect the 2238
otherwise confidential character of the contents of that report as 2239
described in division (D)(1) of section 2951.03 of the Revised 2240
Code and does not cause that report to become a public record, as 2241
defined in section 149.43 of the Revised Code, following the 2242
appellate court's use of the report.2243

       (2) The trial record in the case in which the sentence was 2244
imposed;2245

       (3) Any oral or written statements made to or by the court at 2246
the sentencing hearing at which the sentence was imposed;2247

       (4) Any written findings that the court was required to make 2248
in connection with the modification of the sentence pursuant to a 2249
judicial release under division (H) of section 2929.20 of the 2250
Revised Code.2251

       (G)(1) If the sentencing court was required to make the 2252
findings required by division (B) or (D) of section 2929.13, 2253
division (D)(2)(e) or (E)(4) of section 2929.14, or division (H) 2254
of section 2929.20 of the Revised Code relative to the imposition 2255
or modification of the sentence, and if the sentencing court 2256
failed to state the required findings on the record, the court 2257
hearing an appeal under division (A), (B), or (C) of this section 2258
shall remand the case to the sentencing court and instruct the 2259
sentencing court to state, on the record, the required findings.2260

       (2) The court hearing an appeal under division (A), (B), or 2261
(C) of this section shall review the record, including the 2262
findings underlying the sentence or modification given by the 2263
sentencing court.2264

       The appellate court may increase, reduce, or otherwise modify 2265
a sentence that is appealed under this section or may vacate the 2266
sentence and remand the matter to the sentencing court for 2267
resentencing. The appellate court's standard for review is not2268
whether the sentencing court abused its discretion. The appellate 2269
court may take any action authorized by this division if it 2270
clearly and convincingly finds either of the following:2271

       (a) That the record does not support the sentencing court's 2272
findings under division (B) or (D) of section 2929.13, division 2273
(D)(2)(e) or (E)(4) of section 2929.14, or division (H) of section 2274
2929.20 of the Revised Code, whichever, if any, is relevant;2275

       (b) That the sentence is otherwise contrary to law.2276

       (H) A judgment or final order of a court of appeals under 2277
this section may be appealed, by leave of court, to the supreme 2278
court.2279

       (I)(1) There is hereby established the felony sentence appeal 2280
cost oversight committee, consisting of eight members. One member 2281
shall be the chief justice of the supreme court or a 2282
representative of the court designated by the chief justice, one 2283

of the senate, one member shall be a member of the house of 2285
representatives appointed by the speaker of the house of 2286
representatives, one member shall be the director of budget and 2287
management or a representative of the office of budget and 2288
management designated by the director, one member shall be a judge 2289
of a court of appeals, court of common pleas, municipal court, or 2290

appointed by the Ohio prosecuting attorneys association, and one 2295
member shall be a county commissioner appointed by the county 2296
commissioners association of Ohio. No more than three of the 2297
appointed members of the committee may be members of the same 2298
political party.2299

       The president of the senate, the speaker of the house of2300
representatives, the chief justice of the supreme court, the Ohio 2301
prosecuting attorneys association, and the county commissioners2302
association of Ohio shall make the initial appointments to the 2303
committee of the appointed members no later than ninety days after 2304
July 1, 1996. Of those initial appointments to the committee, the 2305
members appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives 2306
and the Ohio prosecuting attorneys association shall serve a term 2307
ending two years after July 1, 1996, the member appointed by the 2308

years after July 1, 1996, and the members appointed by the2310
president of the senate and the county commissioners association 2311
of Ohio shall serve terms ending four years after July 1, 1996. 2312
Thereafter, terms of office of the appointed members shall be for 2313
four years, with each term ending on the same day of the same 2314
month as did the term that it succeeds. Members may be2315
reappointed. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner provided 2316
for original appointments. A member appointed to fill a vacancy 2317
occurring prior to the expiration of the term for which that 2318
member's predecessor was appointed shall hold office as a member 2319
for the remainder of the predecessor's term. An appointed member 2320
shall continue in office subsequent to the expiration date of that 2321
member's term until that member's successor takes office or until 2322
a period of sixty days has elapsed, whichever occurs first.2323

       If the chief justice of the supreme court, the director of2324
the office of budget and management, or the state public defender 2325
serves as a member of the committee, that person's term of office 2326
as a member shall continue for as long as that person holds office 2327
as chief justice, director of the office of budget and management, 2328
or state public defender. If the chief justice of the supreme 2329
court designates a representative of the court to serve as a 2330
member, the director of budget and management designates a 2331
representative of the office of budget and management to serve as 2332
a member, or the state public defender designates a representative 2333
of the office of the state public defender to serve as a member, 2334
the person so designated shall serve as a member of the commission 2335
for as long as the official who made the designation holds office 2336
as chief justice, director of the office of budget and management, 2337
or state public defender or until that official revokes the 2338
designation.2339

       The chief justice of the supreme court or the representative 2340
of the supreme court appointed by the chief justice shall serve as 2341
chairperson of the committee. The committee shall meet within two 2342
weeks after all appointed members have been appointed and shall 2343
organize as necessary. Thereafter, the committee shall meet at 2344
least once every six months or more often upon the call of the 2345
chairperson or the written request of three or more members, 2346
provided that the committee shall not meet unless moneys have been 2347
appropriated to the judiciary budget administered by the supreme 2348
court specifically for the purpose of providing financial 2349
assistance to counties under division (I)(2) of this section and 2350
the moneys so appropriated then are available for that purpose.2351

       The members of the committee shall serve without2352
compensation, but, if moneys have been appropriated to the 2353
judiciary budget administered by the supreme court specifically 2354
for the purpose of providing financial assistance to counties 2355
under division (I)(2) of this section, each member shall be 2356
reimbursed out of the moneys so appropriated that then are 2357
available for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the 2358
performance of official duties as a committee member.2359

       (2) The state criminal sentencing commission periodically 2360
shall provide to the felony sentence appeal cost oversight 2361
committee all data the commission collects pursuant to division2362
(A)(5) of section 181.25 of the Revised Code. Upon receipt of the2363
data from the state criminal sentencing commission, the felony 2364
sentence appeal cost oversight committee periodically shall review 2365
the data; determine whether any money has been appropriated to the 2366
judiciary budget administered by the supreme court specifically 2367
for the purpose of providing state financial assistance to2368
counties in accordance with this division for the increase in 2369
expenses the counties experience as a result of the felony 2370
sentence appeal provisions set forth in this section or as a 2371
result of a postconviction relief proceeding brought under 2372
division (A)(2) of section 2953.21 of the Revised Code or an 2373
appeal of a judgment in that proceeding; if it determines that any 2374
money has been so appropriated, determine the total amount of 2375
moneys that have been so appropriated specifically for that 2376
purpose and that then are available for that purpose; and develop 2377
a recommended method of distributing those moneys to the counties. 2378
The committee shall send a copy of its recommendation to the 2379
supreme court. Upon receipt of the committee's recommendation, the 2380
supreme court shall distribute to the counties, based upon that 2381
recommendation, the moneys that have been so appropriated 2382
specifically for the purpose of providing state financial 2383
assistance to counties under this division and that then are 2384
available for that purpose.2385

       (B) The court has jurisdiction over all proceedings under2423
this section. The petitioner's right to relief under this section2424
is not affected by the petitioner's leaving the residence or2425

seven court days after the ex parte hearing. If any other type of2463
protection order that is authorized under division (E) of this2464
section is issued by the court after an ex parte hearing, the2465

scheduled under this division unless the court grants a2470
continuance of the hearing in accordance with this division. Under2471
any of the following circumstances or for any of the following2472
reasons, the court may grant a continuance of the full hearing to2473
a reasonable time determined by the court:2474

       (i) Prior to the date scheduled for the full hearing under2475

       (ii) The parties consent to the continuance.2479

       (iii) The continuance is needed to allow a party to obtain2480
counsel.2481

       (iv) The continuance is needed for other good cause.2482

       (b) An ex parte order issued under this section does not2483
expire because of a failure to serve notice of the full hearing2484
upon the respondent before the date set for the full hearing under2485
division (D)(2)(a) of this section or because the court grants a2486
continuance under that division.2487

       (3) If a person who files a petition pursuant to this section2488
does not request an ex parte order, or if a person requests an ex2489
parte order but the court does not issue an ex parte order after2490
an ex parte hearing, the court shall proceed as in a normal civil2491
action and grant a full hearing on the matter.2492

       (E)(1) After an ex parte or full hearing, the court may grant 2493
any protection order, with or without bond, or approve any consent 2494
agreement to bring about a cessation of domestic violence against 2495
the family or household members. The order or agreement may:2496

       (a) Direct the respondent to refrain from abusing the family2497
or household members, or from committing sexually oriented 2498
offenses against the petitioner or victim;2499

       (b) Grant possession of the residence or household to the2500
petitioner or other family or household member, to the exclusion2501
of the respondent, by evicting the respondent, when the residence2502
or household is owned or leased solely by the petitioner or other2503
family or household member, or by ordering the respondent to2504
vacate the premises, when the residence or household is jointly2505
owned or leased by the respondent, and the petitioner or other2506
family or household member;2507

       (c) When the respondent has a duty to support the petitioner2508
or other family or household member living in the residence or2509
household and the respondent is the sole owner or lessee of the2510
residence or household, grant possession of the residence or2511
household to the petitioner or other family or household member,2512
to the exclusion of the respondent, by ordering the respondent to2513
vacate the premises, or, in the case of a consent agreement, allow2514
the respondent to provide suitable, alternative housing;2515

       (d) Temporarily allocate parental rights and responsibilities 2516
for the care of, or establish temporary parenting time rights with 2517
regard to, minor children, if no other court has determined, or is 2518
determining, the allocation of parental rights and2519
responsibilities for the minor children or parenting time rights;2520

       (e) Require the respondent to maintain support, if the2521

of the family or household member, or if the respondent has a duty2523
to support the petitioner or family or household member;2524

       (f) Require the respondent, petitioner, victim of domestic2525

fair, including, but not limited to, ordering the respondent to 2531
permit the use of a motor vehicle by the petitioner or other2532
family or household member and the apportionment of household and2533
family personal property.2534

       (2) If a protection order has been issued pursuant to this2535
section in a prior action involving the respondent and the2536
petitioner or one or more of the family or household members or 2537
victims, the court may include in a protection order that it 2538
issues a prohibition against the respondent returning to the 2539
residence or household. If it includes a prohibition against the2540
respondent returning to the residence or household in the order, 2541
it also shall include in the order provisions of the type 2542
described in division (E)(7) of this section. This division does 2543
not preclude the court from including in a protection order or 2544
consent agreement, in circumstances other than those described in 2545
this division, a requirement that the respondent be evicted from 2546
or vacate the residence or household or refrain from entering the2547
residence, school, business, or place of employment of the2548
petitioner or a family or household member, and, if the court2549
includes any requirement of that type in an order or agreement,2550
the court also shall include in the order provisions of the type2551
described in division (E)(7) of this section.2552

       (3)(a) Any protection order issued or consent agreement2553
approved under this section shall be valid until a date certain,2554
but not later than five years from the date of its issuance or2555
approval.2556

       (b) Subject to the limitation on the duration of an order or2557
agreement set forth in division (E)(3)(a) of this section, any2558
order under division (E)(1)(d) of this section shall terminate on2559
the date that a court in an action for divorce, dissolution of2560
marriage, or legal separation brought by the petitioner or2561
respondent issues an order allocating parental rights and2562
responsibilities for the care of children or on the date that a2563
juvenile court in an action brought by the petitioner or2564
respondent issues an order awarding legal custody of minor2565
children. Subject to the limitation on the duration of an order or2566
agreement set forth in division (E)(3)(a) of this section, any2567
order under division (E)(1)(e) of this section shall terminate on2568
the date that a court in an action for divorce, dissolution of2569
marriage, or legal separation brought by the petitioner or2570
respondent issues a support order or on the date that a juvenile2571
court in an action brought by the petitioner or respondent issues2572
a support order.2573

       (c) Any protection order issued or consent agreement approved 2574
pursuant to this section may be renewed in the same manner as the 2575
original order or agreement was issued or approved.2576

       (4) A court may not issue a protection order that requires a2577
petitioner to do or to refrain from doing an act that the court2578
may require a respondent to do or to refrain from doing under2579
division (E)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), or (h) of this2580
section unless all of the following apply:2581

       (a) The respondent files a separate petition for a protection 2582
order in accordance with this section.2583

       (b) The petitioner is served notice of the respondent's2584
petition at least forty-eight hours before the court holds a2585
hearing with respect to the respondent's petition, or the2586
petitioner waives the right to receive this notice.2587

       (c) If the petitioner has requested an ex parte order2588
pursuant to division (D) of this section, the court does not delay2589
any hearing required by that division beyond the time specified in2590
that division in order to consolidate the hearing with a hearing2591
on the petition filed by the respondent.2592

       (d) After a full hearing at which the respondent presents2593
evidence in support of the request for a protection order and the2594
petitioner is afforded an opportunity to defend against that2595
evidence, the court determines that the petitioner has committed2596
an act of domestic violence or has violated a temporary protection2597
order issued pursuant to section 2919.26 of the Revised Code, that2598
both the petitioner and the respondent acted primarily as2599
aggressors, and that neither the petitioner nor the respondent2600
acted primarily in self-defense.2601

       (5) No protection order issued or consent agreement approved2602
under this section shall in any manner affect title to any real2603
property.2604

       (6)(a) If a petitioner, or the child of a petitioner, who2605
obtains a protection order or consent agreement pursuant to2606
division (E)(1) of this section or a temporary protection order2607
pursuant to section 2919.26 of the Revised Code and is the subject2608
of a parenting time order issued pursuant to section 3109.051 or2609
3109.12 of the Revised Code or a visitation or companionship order2610
issued pursuant to section 3109.051, 3109.11, or 3109.12 of the2611
Revised Code or division (E)(1)(d) of this section granting2612
parenting time rights to the respondent, the court may require the2613
public children services agency of the county in which the court2614
is located to provide supervision of the respondent's exercise of2615
parenting time or visitation or companionship rights with respect2616
to the child for a period not to exceed nine months, if the court2617
makes the following findings of fact:2618

       (i) The child is in danger from the respondent;2619

       (ii) No other person or agency is available to provide the2620
supervision.2621

       (b) A court that requires an agency to provide supervision2622
pursuant to division (E)(6)(a) of this section shall order the2623
respondent to reimburse the agency for the cost of providing the2624
supervision, if it determines that the respondent has sufficient2625
income or resources to pay that cost.2626

       (7)(a) If a protection order issued or consent agreement2627
approved under this section includes a requirement that the2628
respondent be evicted from or vacate the residence or household or2629
refrain from entering the residence, school, business, or place of2630
employment of the petitioner or a family or household member, the2631
order or agreement shall state clearly that the order or agreement2632
cannot be waived or nullified by an invitation to the respondent2633
from the petitioner or other family or household member to enter2634
the residence, school, business, or place of employment or by the2635
respondent's entry into one of those places otherwise upon the2636
consent of the petitioner or other family or household member.2637

       (b) Division (E)(7)(a) of this section does not limit any2638
discretion of a court to determine that a respondent charged with2639
a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code, with a2640
violation of a municipal ordinance substantially equivalent to2641
that section, or with contempt of court, which charge is based on2642
an alleged violation of a protection order issued or consent2643
agreement approved under this section, did not commit the2644
violation or was not in contempt of court.2645

       (F)(1) A copy of any protection order, or consent agreement,2646
that is issued or approved under this section shall be issued by2647
the court to the petitioner, to the respondent, and to all law2648
enforcement agencies that have jurisdiction to enforce the order2649
or agreement. The court shall direct that a copy of an order be2650
delivered to the respondent on the same day that the order is2651
entered.2652

       (2) All law enforcement agencies shall establish and maintain 2653
an index for the protection orders and the approved consent 2654
agreements delivered to the agencies pursuant to division (F)(1) 2655
of this section. With respect to each order and consent agreement 2656
delivered, each agency shall note on the index the date and time 2657
that it received the order or consent agreement.2658

       (3) Regardless of whether the petitioner has registered the2659
order or agreement in the county in which the officer's agency has2660
jurisdiction pursuant to division (N) of this section, any officer2661
of a law enforcement agency shall enforce a protection order2662
issued or consent agreement approved by any court in this state in2663
accordance with the provisions of the order or agreement,2664
including removing the respondent from the premises, if2665
appropriate.2666

       (G) Any proceeding under this section shall be conducted in2667
accordance with the Rules of Civil Procedure, except that an order2668
under this section may be obtained with or without bond. An order2669
issued under this section, other than an ex parte order, that2670
grants a protection order or approves a consent agreement, or that2671
refuses to grant a protection order or approve a consent2672
agreement, is a final, appealable order. The remedies and2673
procedures provided in this section are in addition to, and not in2674
lieu of, any other available civil or criminal remedies.2675

       (H) The filing of proceedings under this section does not2676
excuse a person from filing any report or giving any notice2677
required by section 2151.421 of the Revised Code or by any other2678
law. When a petition under this section alleges domestic violence2679
against minor children, the court shall report the fact, or cause2680
reports to be made, to a county, township, or municipal peace2681
officer under section 2151.421 of the Revised Code.2682

       (I) Any law enforcement agency that investigates a domestic2683
dispute shall provide information to the family or household2684
members involved regarding the relief available under this section2685
and section 2919.26 of the Revised Code.2686

       (J) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary and2687
regardless of whether a protection order is issued or a consent2688
agreement is approved by a court of another county or a court of2689
another state, no court or unit of state or local government shall2690
charge any fee, cost, deposit, or money in connection with the 2691
filing of a petition pursuant to this section or in connection2692
with the filing, issuance, registration, or service of a2693
protection order or consent agreement, or for obtaining a2694
certified copy of a protection order or consent agreement.2695

       (K)(1) The court shall comply with Chapters 3119., 3121.,2696
3123., and 3125. of the Revised Code when it makes or modifies an2697
order for child support under this section.2698

       (2) If any person required to pay child support under an2699
order made under this section on or after April 15, 1985, or2700
modified under this section on or after December 31, 1986, is2701
found in contempt of court for failure to make support payments2702
under the order, the court that makes the finding, in addition to2703
any other penalty or remedy imposed, shall assess all court costs2704
arising out of the contempt proceeding against the person and2705
require the person to pay any reasonable attorney's fees of any2706
adverse party, as determined by the court, that arose in relation2707
to the act of contempt.2708

       (L)(1) A person who violates a protection order issued or a2709
consent agreement approved under this section is subject to the2710
following sanctions:2711

       (a) Criminal prosecution for a violation of section 2919.272712
of the Revised Code, if the violation of the protection order or2713
consent agreement constitutes a violation of that section;2714

       (b) Punishment for contempt of court.2715

       (2) The punishment of a person for contempt of court for2716
violation of a protection order issued or a consent agreement2717
approved under this section does not bar criminal prosecution of2718
the person for a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code.2719
However, a person punished for contempt of court is entitled to2720
credit for the punishment imposed upon conviction of a violation2721
of that section, and a person convicted of a violation of that2722
section shall not subsequently be punished for contempt of court2723
arising out of the same activity.2724

       (M) In all stages of a proceeding under this section, a2725
petitioner may be accompanied by a victim advocate.2726

       (N)(1) A petitioner who obtains a protection order or consent 2727
agreement under this section or a temporary protection order under 2728
section 2919.26 of the Revised Code may provide notice of the 2729
issuance or approval of the order or agreement to the judicial and 2730
law enforcement officials in any county other than the county in 2731
which the order is issued or the agreement is approved by2732
registering that order or agreement in the other county pursuant 2733
to division (N)(2) of this section and filing a copy of the 2734
registered order or registered agreement with a law enforcement 2735
agency in the other county in accordance with that division. A 2736
person who obtains a protection order issued by a court of another 2737
state may provide notice of the issuance of the order to the2738
judicial and law enforcement officials in any county of this state 2739
by registering the order in that county pursuant to section 2740
2919.272 of the Revised Code and filing a copy of the registered 2741
order with a law enforcement agency in that county.2742

       (2) A petitioner may register a temporary protection order,2743
protection order, or consent agreement in a county other than the2744
county in which the court that issued the order or approved the2745
agreement is located in the following manner:2746

       (a) The petitioner shall obtain a certified copy of the order 2747
or agreement from the clerk of the court that issued the order or 2748
approved the agreement and present that certified copy to the 2749
clerk of the court of common pleas or the clerk of a municipal2750
court or county court in the county in which the order or2751
agreement is to be registered.2752

       (b) Upon accepting the certified copy of the order or2753
agreement for registration, the clerk of the court of common2754
pleas, municipal court, or county court shall place an endorsement2755
of registration on the order or agreement and give the petitioner2756
a copy of the order or agreement that bears that proof of2757
registration.2758

       (3) The clerk of each court of common pleas, the clerk of2759
each municipal court, and the clerk of each county court shall2760
maintain a registry of certified copies of temporary protection2761
orders, protection orders, or consent agreements that have been2762
issued or approved by courts in other counties and that have been2763
registered with the clerk.2764

       Section 2. That existing sections 2152.17, 2901.08, 2903.11, 2765
2907.01, 2907.03, 2907.05, 2919.26, 2929.01, 2929.13, 2929.14, 2766
2941.149, 2953.08, and 3113.31 of the Revised Code are hereby 2767
repealed.2768
