medical condition resulting from the offense alleged in the544
complaint, another person who is able to provide the court with545

upon the consent of the complainant, alleged victim, or family or567
household member.568

       (b) Division (C)(2)(a) of this section does not limit any569
discretion of a court to determine that an alleged offender570
charged with a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code,571
with a violation of a municipal ordinance substantially equivalent572
to that section, or with contempt of court, which charge is based573

the order, to the defendant, and to all law enforcement agencies654
that have jurisdiction to enforce the order. The court shall655
direct that a copy of the order be delivered to the defendant on656

county court issues a temporary protection order under this658
section and if, subsequent to the issuance of the order, the659
defendant who is the subject of the order is bound over to the660
court of common pleas for prosecution as described in division661

is specified as being applicable if it makes both of the following 1248
findings:1249

factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a1253
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors1254
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.1255

       (2)(b) A community control sanction or a combination of1256
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of1257

the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was1259
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are1260
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that1261
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious1262
than conduct normally constituting the offense.1263

for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of1265
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the1266

under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of1268

Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation.1273

       (2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to1274
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction1275
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive1276
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation1277
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned1278
unless the court determines on the record either of the following:1279

       (a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the1280
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug1281
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program,1282
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable1283

and has not pleaded guilty to a specification of the type 1403
described in section 2941.1413 of the Revised Code, the court may 1404

community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the 1447

rehabilitation and correction may place an offender sentenced to a 1450
mandatory prison term under this division in an intensive program 1451
prison established pursuant to section 5120.033 of the Revised1452
Code if the department gave the sentencing judge prior notice of 1453
its intent to place the offender in an intensive program prison 1454
established under that section and if the judge did not notify the 1455
department that the judge disapproved the placement. Upon the 1456
establishment of the initial intensive program prison pursuant to 1457
section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is privately operated1458
and managed by a contractor pursuant to a contract entered into 1459
under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both of the following 1460

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full1467
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 1468
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 1469
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant1470
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 1471
operated and managed prison.1472

offense committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall1474

procedure pursuant to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code if1476
either of the following applies:1477

homicide, assault, or kidnapping offense and, in relation to that 1479
offense, the offender was adjudicated a sexually violent predator.1480

offense determines pursuant to division (B) of section 2950.09 of1482
the Revised Code that the offender is a sexual predator.1483

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 1484
offense that is not a registration-exempt sexually oriented 1485
offense or for a child-victim oriented offense committed on or 1486
after January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a 1487
summary of the offender's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, 1488
2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and the1489
duration of the duties. The judge shall inform the offender, at 1490
the time of sentencing, of those duties and of their duration and, 1491
if required under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the 1492
Revised Code, shall perform the duties specified in that section.1493

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 1494
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation 1495
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 1496
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 1497
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors1498
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section1499
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to1500
the felony category of the offense attempted.1501

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 1502
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 1503
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is1504
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled1505
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court1506
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that1507
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse1508
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of1509
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next1510
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in1511
the attempt.1512

       (K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the1513
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.1514

       (L) At the time of sentencing an offender who is a sexual 1515
predator for any sexually oriented offense, if the offender does 1516
not serve a prison term or jail term, the court may require that 1517
the offender be monitored by means of a global positioning device. 1518
If the court requires such monitoring, the cost of monitoring 1519
shall be borne by the offender. If the offender is indigent, the 1520
cost of compliance shall be paid by the crime victims reparations 1521
fund.1522

       Sec. 2929.14.  (A) Except as provided in division (C),1523
(D)(1), (D)(2), (D)(3), (D)(4), (D)(5), (D)(6), or (G) of this1524
section and except in relation to an offense for which a sentence1525
of death or life imprisonment is to be imposed, if the court1526
imposing a sentence upon an offender for a felony elects or is1527
required to impose a prison term on the offender pursuant to this1528
chapter, the court shall impose a definite prison term that shall1529
be one of the following:1530

       (1) For a felony of the first degree, the prison term shall1531
be three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years.1532

be one, two, three, four, or five years.1536

Code, if the court imposing a sentence upon an offender for a 1545
felony elects or is required to impose a prison term on the 1546
offender, the court shall impose the shortest prison term 1547
authorized for the offense pursuant to division (A) of this 1548
section, unless one or more of the following applies:1549

       (1) The offender was serving a prison term at the time of the 1550
offense, or the offender previously had served a prison term.1551

       (2) The court finds on the record that the shortest prison1552
term will demean the seriousness of the offender's conduct or will1553
not adequately protect the public from future crime by the1554
offender or others.1555

       (C) Except as provided in division (G) of this section or in1556

offender, in addition to the longest prison term from the range of 1677
terms authorized or required for the offense under division (A) of 1678
this section that may be the longest term in the range and that 1679
shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20, section 1680
2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. 1681
of the Revised Code. If the court finds that the repeat violent 1682
offender, in committing the offense, caused any physical harm that 1683
carried a substantial risk of death to a person or that involved 1684
substantial permanent incapacity or substantial permanent 1685
disfigurement of a person, the court shall impose the longest 1686
prison term from the range of terms authorized for the offense 1687
under division (A) of this section.1688

       (b) If the court imposing a prison term on a repeat violent1689
offender imposes the longest prison term from the range of terms1690
authorized for the offense under division (A) of this section, the1691
court may impose on the offender an additional definite prison1692

(D)(1) and (3) of this section:1697

       (i), an additional definite prison term of one, two, three, 1698
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years if all of the 1699
following criteria are met:1700

if applicable, division (D)(1) or (3) of this section are 1719
inadequate to punish the offender and protect the public from 1720
future crime, because the applicable factors under section 2929.121721
of the Revised Code indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism 1722
outweigh the applicable factors under that section indicating a 1723
lesser likelihood of recidivism.1724

terms imposed pursuant to division (D)(2)(a)(iii) of this section 1726
and, if applicable, division (D)(1) or (3) of this section are 1727
demeaning to the seriousness of the offense, because one or more 1728
of the factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code1729
indicating that the offender's conduct is more serious than 1730
conduct normally constituting the offense are present, and they 1731

constituting the offense.1734

the court does not impose a sentence of life imprisonment without 1756
parole, any felony of the first degree that is an offense of 1757
violence and the court does not impose a sentence of life 1758
imprisonment without parole, or any felony of the second degree 1759
that is an offense of violence and the trier of fact finds that 1760
the offense involved an attempt to cause or a threat to cause 1761
serious physical harm to a person or resulted in serious physical 1762
harm to a person.1763

       (c) For purposes of division (D)(2)(b) of this section, two 1764
or more offenses committed at the same time or as part of the same 1765
act or event shall be considered one offense, and that one offense 1766
shall be the offense with the greatest penalty.1767

       (d) A sentence imposed under division (D)(2)(a) or (b) of 1768
this section shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20 or 1769

additional prison term imposed under this section consecutively to 1772
and prior to the prison term imposed for the underlying offense.1773

section 2903.02 of the Revised Code, if the offender commits a 1780
violation of section 2925.03 or 2925.11 of the Revised Code and 1781
that section classifies the offender as a major drug offender and 1782
requires the imposition of a ten-year prison term on the offender, 1783
if the offender commits a felony violation of section 2925.02,1784

4729.54 of the Revised Code that includes the sale, offer to sell,1788
or possession of a schedule I or II controlled substance, with the 1789

forth in divisions (D)(2)(b)(i)(a)(iv) and (ii)(v) of this 1812
section.1813

       (4) If the offender is being sentenced for a third or fourth1814

sentenced for a fourth degree felony OVI offense, the court,1819
notwithstanding division (A)(4) of this section, may sentence the1820
offender to a definite prison term of not less than six months and1821
not more than thirty months, and if the offender is being1822

violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the1864
Revised Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a1865

who is under detention at a detention facility commits a felony1919
violation of section 2923.131 of the Revised Code, or if an1920
offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or other residential1921

committed as part of any of the courses of conduct adequately1955
reflects the seriousness of the offender's conduct.1956

The specification shall be stated at the end of the body of the 2070
indictment, count, or information, and shall be stated in 2071
substantially the following form:2072

       "SPECIFICATION (or, SPECIFICATION TO THE FIRST COUNT). The 2073
Grand Jurors (or insert the person's or prosecuting attorney's 2074
name when appropriate) further find and specify that (set forth2075
that the offender is a repeat violent offender)."2076

       (B) The court shall determine the issue of whether an 2077
offender is a repeat violent offender.2078

       (C) At the arraignment of the defendant or as soon thereafter 2079
as is practicable, the prosecuting attorney may give notice to the 2080
defendant of the prosecuting attorney's intention to use a 2081
certified copy of the entry of judgment of a prior conviction as 2082
proof of that prior conviction. The defendant must then give 2083
notice to the prosecuting attorney of the defendant's intention to 2084
object to the use of the entry of judgment. If the defendant 2085
pursuant to Criminal Rule 12 does not give notice of that 2086
intention to the prosecuting attorney before trial, the defendant 2087
waives the objection to the use of an entry of judgment as proof 2088
of the defendant's prior conviction, as shown on the entry of 2089
judgment.2090

       (D) As used in this section, "repeat violent offender" has 2091
the same meaning as in section 2929.01 of the Revised Code.2092

       Sec. 2953.08.  (A) In addition to any other right to appeal 2093
and except as provided in division (D) of this section, a 2094
defendant who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony may 2095
appeal as a matter of right the sentence imposed upon the 2096
defendant on one of the following grounds:2097

       (1) The sentence consisted of or included the maximum prison 2098
term allowed for the offense by division (A) of section 2929.14 of 2099
the Revised Code, the sentence was not imposed pursuant to 2100
division (D)(3)(b) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code, the 2101
maximum prison term was not required for the offense pursuant to 2102
Chapter 2925. or any other provision of the Revised Code, and the 2103
court imposed the sentence under one of the following 2104
circumstances:2105

       (a) The sentence was imposed for only one offense.2106

       (b) The sentence was imposed for two or more offenses arising 2107
out of a single incident, and the court imposed the maximum prison 2108
term for the offense of the highest degree.2109

       (2) The sentence consisted of or included a prison term, the 2110
offense for which it was imposed is a felony of the fourth or 2111
fifth degree or is a felony drug offense that is a violation of a 2112
provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is 2113
specified as being subject to division (B) of section 2929.13 of 2114
the Revised Code for purposes of sentencing, and the court did not 2115
specify at sentencing that it found one or more factors specified2116
in divisions (B)(1)(a) to (i) of section 2929.13 of the Revised 2117
Code to apply relative to the defendant. If the court specifies 2118
that it found one or more of those factors to apply relative to 2119
the defendant, the defendant is not entitled under this division 2120
to appeal as a matter of right the sentence imposed upon the 2121
offender.2122

       (3) The person was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a 2123
violent sex offense or a designated homicide, assault, or 2124
kidnapping offense, was adjudicated a sexually violent predator in 2125
relation to that offense, and was sentenced pursuant to division 2126
(A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, if the minimum term 2127
of the indefinite term imposed pursuant to division (A)(3) of2128
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code is the longest term available 2129
for the offense from among the range of terms listed in section 2130
2929.14 of the Revised Code. As used in this division, "designated 2131
homicide, assault, or kidnapping offense" and "violent sex 2132
offense" have the same meanings as in section 2971.01 of the 2133
Revised Code. As used in this division, "adjudicated a sexually 2134
violent predator" has the same meaning as in section 2929.01 of 2135
the Revised Code, and a person is "adjudicated a sexually violent 2136
predator" in the same manner and the same circumstances as are 2137
described in that section.2138

       (4) The sentence is contrary to law.2139

       (5) The sentence consisted of an additional prison term of 2140
ten years imposed pursuant to division (D)(2)(b)(a) of section2141
2929.14 of the Revised Code.2142

       (6) The sentence consisted of an additional prison term of2143
ten years imposed pursuant to division (D)(3)(b) of section 2144
2929.14 of the Revised Code.2145

       (B) In addition to any other right to appeal and except as 2146
provided in division (D) of this section, a prosecuting attorney, 2147
a city director of law, village solicitor, or similar chief legal 2148
officer of a municipal corporation, or the attorney general, if 2149
one of those persons prosecuted the case, may appeal as a matter 2150
of right a sentence imposed upon a defendant who is convicted of 2151
or pleads guilty to a felony or, in the circumstances described in 2152
division (B)(3) of this section the modification of a sentence 2153
imposed upon such a defendant, on any of the following grounds:2154

       (1) The sentence did not include a prison term despite a 2155
presumption favoring a prison term for the offense for which it 2156
was imposed, as set forth in section 2929.13 or Chapter 2925. of 2157
the Revised Code.2158

       (2) The sentence is contrary to law.2159

       (3) The sentence is a modification under section 2929.20 of 2160
the Revised Code of a sentence that was imposed for a felony of 2161
the first or second degree.2162

       (C)(1) In addition to the right to appeal a sentence granted 2163
under division (A) or (B) of this section, a defendant who is 2164
convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony may seek leave to appeal 2165
a sentence imposed upon the defendant on the basis that the 2166
sentencing judge has imposed consecutive sentences under division 2167
(E)(3) or (4) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code and that the2168
consecutive sentences exceed the maximum prison term allowed by2169
division (A) of that section for the most serious offense of which 2170
the defendant was convicted. Upon the filing of a motion under 2171
this division, the court of appeals may grant leave to appeal the 2172
sentence if the court determines that the allegation included as 2173
the basis of the motion is true.2174

       (2) A defendant may seek leave to appeal an additional 2175
sentence imposed upon the defendant pursuant to division (D)(2)(a) 2176
or (b) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code if the additional 2177
sentence is for a definite prison term that is longer than five 2178
years.2179

       (D)(1) A sentence imposed upon a defendant is not subject to 2180
review under this section if the sentence is authorized by law, 2181
has been recommended jointly by the defendant and the prosecution 2182
in the case, and is imposed by a sentencing judge.2183

       (2) Except as provided in division (C)(2) of this section, a 2184
sentence imposed upon a defendant is not subject to review under 2185
this section if the sentence is imposed pursuant to division 2186
(D)(2)(b) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code. Except as 2187
otherwise provided in this division, a defendant retains all 2188
rights to appeal as provided under this chapter or any other 2189
provision of the Revised Code. A defendant has the right to appeal 2190
under this chapter or any other provision of the Revised Code the 2191
court's application of division (D)(2)(c) of section 2929.14 of 2192
the Revised Code.2193

       (3) A sentence imposed for aggravated murder or murder2194
pursuant to sections 2929.02 to 2929.06 of the Revised Code is not 2195
subject to review under this section.2196

       (E) A defendant, prosecuting attorney, city director of law, 2197
village solicitor, or chief municipal legal officer shall file an 2198
appeal of a sentence under this section to a court of appeals 2199
within the time limits specified in Rule 4(B) of the Rules of2200
Appellate Procedure, provided that if the appeal is pursuant to 2201
division (B)(3) of this section, the time limits specified in that2202
rule shall not commence running until the court grants the motion 2203
that makes the sentence modification in question. A sentence 2204
appeal under this section shall be consolidated with any other 2205
appeal in the case. If no other appeal is filed, the court of 2206
appeals may review only the portions of the trial record that 2207
pertain to sentencing.2208

       (F) On the appeal of a sentence under this section, the 2209
record to be reviewed shall include all of the following, as 2210
applicable:2211

       (1) Any presentence, psychiatric, or other investigative 2212
report that was submitted to the court in writing before the 2213
sentence was imposed. An appellate court that reviews a 2214
presentence investigation report prepared pursuant to section2215
2947.06 or 2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 in 2216
connection with the appeal of a sentence under this section shall 2217
comply with division (D)(3) of section 2951.03 of the Revised Code 2218
when the appellate court is not using the presentence 2219
investigation report, and the appellate court's use of a2220
presentence investigation report of that nature in connection with 2221
the appeal of a sentence under this section does not affect the 2222
otherwise confidential character of the contents of that report as 2223
described in division (D)(1) of section 2951.03 of the Revised 2224
Code and does not cause that report to become a public record, as 2225
defined in section 149.43 of the Revised Code, following the 2226
appellate court's use of the report.2227

       (2) The trial record in the case in which the sentence was 2228
imposed;2229

       (3) Any oral or written statements made to or by the court at 2230
the sentencing hearing at which the sentence was imposed;2231

       (4) Any written findings that the court was required to make 2232
in connection with the modification of the sentence pursuant to a 2233
judicial release under division (H) of section 2929.20 of the 2234
Revised Code.2235

       (G)(1) If the sentencing court was required to make the 2236
findings required by division (B) or (D) of section 2929.13, 2237
division (D)(2)(e) or (E)(4) of section 2929.14, or division (H) 2238
of section 2929.20 of the Revised Code relative to the imposition 2239
or modification of the sentence, and if the sentencing court 2240
failed to state the required findings on the record, the court 2241
hearing an appeal under division (A), (B), or (C) of this section 2242
shall remand the case to the sentencing court and instruct the 2243
sentencing court to state, on the record, the required findings.2244

       (2) The court hearing an appeal under division (A), (B), or 2245
(C) of this section shall review the record, including the 2246
findings underlying the sentence or modification given by the 2247
sentencing court.2248

       The appellate court may increase, reduce, or otherwise modify 2249
a sentence that is appealed under this section or may vacate the 2250
sentence and remand the matter to the sentencing court for 2251
resentencing. The appellate court's standard for review is not2252
whether the sentencing court abused its discretion. The appellate 2253
court may take any action authorized by this division if it 2254
clearly and convincingly finds either of the following:2255

       (a) That the record does not support the sentencing court's 2256
findings under division (B) or (D) of section 2929.13, division 2257
(D)(2)(e) or (E)(4) of section 2929.14, or division (H) of section 2258
2929.20 of the Revised Code, whichever, if any, is relevant;2259

       (b) That the sentence is otherwise contrary to law.2260

       (H) A judgment or final order of a court of appeals under 2261
this section may be appealed, by leave of court, to the supreme 2262
court.2263

       (I)(1) There is hereby established the felony sentence appeal 2264
cost oversight committee, consisting of eight members. One member 2265
shall be the chief justice of the supreme court or a 2266
representative of the court designated by the chief justice, one 2267

commissioners association of Ohio. No more than three of the 2281
appointed members of the committee may be members of the same 2282
political party.2283

       The president of the senate, the speaker of the house of2284
representatives, the chief justice of the supreme court, the Ohio 2285
prosecuting attorneys association, and the county commissioners2286
association of Ohio shall make the initial appointments to the 2287
committee of the appointed members no later than ninety days after 2288
July 1, 1996. Of those initial appointments to the committee, the 2289

and the Ohio prosecuting attorneys association shall serve a term 2291
ending two years after July 1, 1996, the member appointed by the 2292

four years, with each term ending on the same day of the same 2298

reappointed. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner provided 2300
for original appointments. A member appointed to fill a vacancy 2301
occurring prior to the expiration of the term for which that 2302
member's predecessor was appointed shall hold office as a member 2303
for the remainder of the predecessor's term. An appointed member 2304
shall continue in office subsequent to the expiration date of that 2305
member's term until that member's successor takes office or until 2306
a period of sixty days has elapsed, whichever occurs first.2307

       If the chief justice of the supreme court, the director of2308
the office of budget and management, or the state public defender 2309
serves as a member of the committee, that person's term of office 2310
as a member shall continue for as long as that person holds office 2311
as chief justice, director of the office of budget and management, 2312
or state public defender. If the chief justice of the supreme 2313
court designates a representative of the court to serve as a 2314
member, the director of budget and management designates a 2315
representative of the office of budget and management to serve as 2316
a member, or the state public defender designates a representative 2317

the person so designated shall serve as a member of the commission 2319
for as long as the official who made the designation holds office 2320
as chief justice, director of the office of budget and management, 2321
or state public defender or until that official revokes the 2322
designation.2323

       The chief justice of the supreme court or the representative 2324
of the supreme court appointed by the chief justice shall serve as 2325
chairperson of the committee. The committee shall meet within two 2326
weeks after all appointed members have been appointed and shall 2327
organize as necessary. Thereafter, the committee shall meet at 2328
least once every six months or more often upon the call of the 2329
chairperson or the written request of three or more members, 2330
provided that the committee shall not meet unless moneys have been 2331
appropriated to the judiciary budget administered by the supreme 2332
court specifically for the purpose of providing financial 2333
assistance to counties under division (I)(2) of this section and 2334
the moneys so appropriated then are available for that purpose.2335

       The members of the committee shall serve without2336
compensation, but, if moneys have been appropriated to the 2337
judiciary budget administered by the supreme court specifically 2338
for the purpose of providing financial assistance to counties 2339
under division (I)(2) of this section, each member shall be 2340
reimbursed out of the moneys so appropriated that then are 2341
available for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the 2342
performance of official duties as a committee member.2343

       (2) The state criminal sentencing commission periodically 2344
shall provide to the felony sentence appeal cost oversight 2345
committee all data the commission collects pursuant to division2346
(A)(5) of section 181.25 of the Revised Code. Upon receipt of the2347
data from the state criminal sentencing commission, the felony 2348
sentence appeal cost oversight committee periodically shall review 2349
the data; determine whether any money has been appropriated to the 2350
judiciary budget administered by the supreme court specifically 2351
for the purpose of providing state financial assistance to2352
counties in accordance with this division for the increase in 2353
expenses the counties experience as a result of the felony 2354
sentence appeal provisions set forth in this section or as a 2355
result of a postconviction relief proceeding brought under 2356
division (A)(2) of section 2953.21 of the Revised Code or an 2357
appeal of a judgment in that proceeding; if it determines that any 2358
money has been so appropriated, determine the total amount of 2359
moneys that have been so appropriated specifically for that 2360
purpose and that then are available for that purpose; and develop 2361
a recommended method of distributing those moneys to the counties. 2362
The committee shall send a copy of its recommendation to the 2363
supreme court. Upon receipt of the committee's recommendation, the 2364
supreme court shall distribute to the counties, based upon that 2365
recommendation, the moneys that have been so appropriated 2366
specifically for the purpose of providing state financial 2367
assistance to counties under this division and that then are 2368
available for that purpose.2369

       (B) The court has jurisdiction over all proceedings under2407
this section. The petitioner's right to relief under this section2408
is not affected by the petitioner's leaving the residence or2409
household to avoid further domestic violence.2410

       (C) A person may seek relief under this section on the2411
person's own behalf, or any parent or adult household member may2412

temporary orders, with or without bond, including, but not limited2428

member or of a sexually oriented offense to the petitioner or 2434
victim constitutes good cause for purposes of this section.2435
Immediate and present danger includes, but is not limited to,2436

offense, or in which the respondent previously has been convicted 2440
of or pleaded guilty to an offense that constitutes domestic 2441
violence against the family or household member or a sexually 2442
oriented offense against the petitioner or victim.2443

order described in division (E)(1)(b) or (c) of this section, the2445
court shall schedule a full hearing for a date that is within2446
seven court days after the ex parte hearing. If any other type of2447
protection order that is authorized under division (E) of this2448
section is issued by the court after an ex parte hearing, the2449
court shall schedule a full hearing for a date that is within ten2450
court days after the ex parte hearing. The court shall give the2451
respondent notice of, and an opportunity to be heard at, the full2452
hearing. The court shall hold the full hearing on the date2453
scheduled under this division unless the court grants a2454
continuance of the hearing in accordance with this division. Under2455
any of the following circumstances or for any of the following2456
reasons, the court may grant a continuance of the full hearing to2457
a reasonable time determined by the court:2458

       (i) Prior to the date scheduled for the full hearing under2459
this division, the respondent has not been served with the2460

counsel.2465

       (iv) The continuance is needed for other good cause.2466

       (b) An ex parte order issued under this section does not2467
expire because of a failure to serve notice of the full hearing2468
upon the respondent before the date set for the full hearing under2469
division (D)(2)(a) of this section or because the court grants a2470
continuance under that division.2471

       (3) If a person who files a petition pursuant to this section2472
does not request an ex parte order, or if a person requests an ex2473
parte order but the court does not issue an ex parte order after2474
an ex parte hearing, the court shall proceed as in a normal civil2475
action and grant a full hearing on the matter.2476

       (E)(1) After an ex parte or full hearing, the court may grant 2477
any protection order, with or without bond, or approve any consent 2478
agreement to bring about a cessation of domestic violence against 2479
the family or household members. The order or agreement may:2480

       (a) Direct the respondent to refrain from abusing the family2481
or household members, or from committing sexually oriented 2482
offenses against the petitioner or victim;2483

       (b) Grant possession of the residence or household to the2484
petitioner or other family or household member, to the exclusion2485
of the respondent, by evicting the respondent, when the residence2486
or household is owned or leased solely by the petitioner or other2487
family or household member, or by ordering the respondent to2488
vacate the premises, when the residence or household is jointly2489
owned or leased by the respondent, and the petitioner or other2490
family or household member;2491

       (c) When the respondent has a duty to support the petitioner2492
or other family or household member living in the residence or2493
household and the respondent is the sole owner or lessee of the2494
residence or household, grant possession of the residence or2495
household to the petitioner or other family or household member,2496
to the exclusion of the respondent, by ordering the respondent to2497
vacate the premises, or, in the case of a consent agreement, allow2498
the respondent to provide suitable, alternative housing;2499

       (d) Temporarily allocate parental rights and responsibilities 2500
for the care of, or establish temporary parenting time rights with 2501

determining, the allocation of parental rights and2503
responsibilities for the minor children or parenting time rights;2504

       (e) Require the respondent to maintain support, if the2505

       (f) Require the respondent, petitioner, victim of domestic2509

family personal property.2518

       (2) If a protection order has been issued pursuant to this2519
section in a prior action involving the respondent and the2520
petitioner or one or more of the family or household members or 2521
victims, the court may include in a protection order that it 2522
issues a prohibition against the respondent returning to the 2523
residence or household. If it includes a prohibition against the2524
respondent returning to the residence or household in the order, 2525
it also shall include in the order provisions of the type 2526
described in division (E)(7) of this section. This division does 2527
not preclude the court from including in a protection order or 2528
consent agreement, in circumstances other than those described in 2529
this division, a requirement that the respondent be evicted from 2530
or vacate the residence or household or refrain from entering the2531
residence, school, business, or place of employment of the2532
petitioner or a family or household member, and, if the court2533
includes any requirement of that type in an order or agreement,2534
the court also shall include in the order provisions of the type2535
described in division (E)(7) of this section.2536

       (3)(a) Any protection order issued or consent agreement2537
approved under this section shall be valid until a date certain,2538
but not later than five years from the date of its issuance or2539
approval.2540

       (b) Subject to the limitation on the duration of an order or2541
agreement set forth in division (E)(3)(a) of this section, any2542
order under division (E)(1)(d) of this section shall terminate on2543
the date that a court in an action for divorce, dissolution of2544
marriage, or legal separation brought by the petitioner or2545
respondent issues an order allocating parental rights and2546
responsibilities for the care of children or on the date that a2547
juvenile court in an action brought by the petitioner or2548
respondent issues an order awarding legal custody of minor2549
children. Subject to the limitation on the duration of an order or2550
agreement set forth in division (E)(3)(a) of this section, any2551
order under division (E)(1)(e) of this section shall terminate on2552
the date that a court in an action for divorce, dissolution of2553
marriage, or legal separation brought by the petitioner or2554
respondent issues a support order or on the date that a juvenile2555
court in an action brought by the petitioner or respondent issues2556
a support order.2557

       (c) Any protection order issued or consent agreement approved 2558
pursuant to this section may be renewed in the same manner as the 2559
original order or agreement was issued or approved.2560

       (4) A court may not issue a protection order that requires a2561
petitioner to do or to refrain from doing an act that the court2562
may require a respondent to do or to refrain from doing under2563
division (E)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), or (h) of this2564
section unless all of the following apply:2565

       (a) The respondent files a separate petition for a protection 2566
order in accordance with this section.2567

       (b) The petitioner is served notice of the respondent's2568
petition at least forty-eight hours before the court holds a2569
hearing with respect to the respondent's petition, or the2570
petitioner waives the right to receive this notice.2571

       (c) If the petitioner has requested an ex parte order2572
pursuant to division (D) of this section, the court does not delay2573
any hearing required by that division beyond the time specified in2574
that division in order to consolidate the hearing with a hearing2575
on the petition filed by the respondent.2576

       (d) After a full hearing at which the respondent presents2577
evidence in support of the request for a protection order and the2578
petitioner is afforded an opportunity to defend against that2579
evidence, the court determines that the petitioner has committed2580
an act of domestic violence or has violated a temporary protection2581
order issued pursuant to section 2919.26 of the Revised Code, that2582
both the petitioner and the respondent acted primarily as2583
aggressors, and that neither the petitioner nor the respondent2584
acted primarily in self-defense.2585

       (5) No protection order issued or consent agreement approved2586
under this section shall in any manner affect title to any real2587
property.2588

       (6)(a) If a petitioner, or the child of a petitioner, who2589
obtains a protection order or consent agreement pursuant to2590
division (E)(1) of this section or a temporary protection order2591
pursuant to section 2919.26 of the Revised Code and is the subject2592
of a parenting time order issued pursuant to section 3109.051 or2593
3109.12 of the Revised Code or a visitation or companionship order2594
issued pursuant to section 3109.051, 3109.11, or 3109.12 of the2595
Revised Code or division (E)(1)(d) of this section granting2596
parenting time rights to the respondent, the court may require the2597
public children services agency of the county in which the court2598
is located to provide supervision of the respondent's exercise of2599
parenting time or visitation or companionship rights with respect2600
to the child for a period not to exceed nine months, if the court2601
makes the following findings of fact:2602

       (i) The child is in danger from the respondent;2603

       (ii) No other person or agency is available to provide the2604
supervision.2605

       (b) A court that requires an agency to provide supervision2606
pursuant to division (E)(6)(a) of this section shall order the2607
respondent to reimburse the agency for the cost of providing the2608
supervision, if it determines that the respondent has sufficient2609
income or resources to pay that cost.2610

       (7)(a) If a protection order issued or consent agreement2611
approved under this section includes a requirement that the2612
respondent be evicted from or vacate the residence or household or2613
refrain from entering the residence, school, business, or place of2614
employment of the petitioner or a family or household member, the2615
order or agreement shall state clearly that the order or agreement2616
cannot be waived or nullified by an invitation to the respondent2617
from the petitioner or other family or household member to enter2618
the residence, school, business, or place of employment or by the2619
respondent's entry into one of those places otherwise upon the2620
consent of the petitioner or other family or household member.2621

       (b) Division (E)(7)(a) of this section does not limit any2622
discretion of a court to determine that a respondent charged with2623
a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code, with a2624
violation of a municipal ordinance substantially equivalent to2625
that section, or with contempt of court, which charge is based on2626
an alleged violation of a protection order issued or consent2627
agreement approved under this section, did not commit the2628
violation or was not in contempt of court.2629

       (F)(1) A copy of any protection order, or consent agreement,2630
that is issued or approved under this section shall be issued by2631
the court to the petitioner, to the respondent, and to all law2632
enforcement agencies that have jurisdiction to enforce the order2633
or agreement. The court shall direct that a copy of an order be2634
delivered to the respondent on the same day that the order is2635
entered.2636

       (2) All law enforcement agencies shall establish and maintain 2637
an index for the protection orders and the approved consent 2638
agreements delivered to the agencies pursuant to division (F)(1) 2639
of this section. With respect to each order and consent agreement 2640
delivered, each agency shall note on the index the date and time 2641
that it received the order or consent agreement.2642

       (3) Regardless of whether the petitioner has registered the2643
order or agreement in the county in which the officer's agency has2644
jurisdiction pursuant to division (N) of this section, any officer2645
of a law enforcement agency shall enforce a protection order2646
issued or consent agreement approved by any court in this state in2647
accordance with the provisions of the order or agreement,2648
including removing the respondent from the premises, if2649
appropriate.2650

       (G) Any proceeding under this section shall be conducted in2651
accordance with the Rules of Civil Procedure, except that an order2652
under this section may be obtained with or without bond. An order2653
issued under this section, other than an ex parte order, that2654
grants a protection order or approves a consent agreement, or that2655
refuses to grant a protection order or approve a consent2656
agreement, is a final, appealable order. The remedies and2657
procedures provided in this section are in addition to, and not in2658
lieu of, any other available civil or criminal remedies.2659

       (H) The filing of proceedings under this section does not2660
excuse a person from filing any report or giving any notice2661
required by section 2151.421 of the Revised Code or by any other2662
law. When a petition under this section alleges domestic violence2663
against minor children, the court shall report the fact, or cause2664
reports to be made, to a county, township, or municipal peace2665
officer under section 2151.421 of the Revised Code.2666

       (I) Any law enforcement agency that investigates a domestic2667
dispute shall provide information to the family or household2668
members involved regarding the relief available under this section2669
and section 2919.26 of the Revised Code.2670

       (J) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary and2671
regardless of whether a protection order is issued or a consent2672
agreement is approved by a court of another county or a court of2673
another state, no court or unit of state or local government shall2674
charge any fee, cost, deposit, or money in connection with the 2675
filing of a petition pursuant to this section or in connection2676
with the filing, issuance, registration, or service of a2677
protection order or consent agreement, or for obtaining a2678
certified copy of a protection order or consent agreement.2679

       (K)(1) The court shall comply with Chapters 3119., 3121.,2680
3123., and 3125. of the Revised Code when it makes or modifies an2681
order for child support under this section.2682

       (2) If any person required to pay child support under an2683
order made under this section on or after April 15, 1985, or2684
modified under this section on or after December 31, 1986, is2685
found in contempt of court for failure to make support payments2686
under the order, the court that makes the finding, in addition to2687
any other penalty or remedy imposed, shall assess all court costs2688
arising out of the contempt proceeding against the person and2689
require the person to pay any reasonable attorney's fees of any2690
adverse party, as determined by the court, that arose in relation2691
to the act of contempt.2692

       (L)(1) A person who violates a protection order issued or a2693
consent agreement approved under this section is subject to the2694
following sanctions:2695

       (a) Criminal prosecution for a violation of section 2919.272696
of the Revised Code, if the violation of the protection order or2697
consent agreement constitutes a violation of that section;2698

       (b) Punishment for contempt of court.2699

       (2) The punishment of a person for contempt of court for2700
violation of a protection order issued or a consent agreement2701
approved under this section does not bar criminal prosecution of2702
the person for a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code.2703
However, a person punished for contempt of court is entitled to2704
credit for the punishment imposed upon conviction of a violation2705
of that section, and a person convicted of a violation of that2706
section shall not subsequently be punished for contempt of court2707
arising out of the same activity.2708

       (M) In all stages of a proceeding under this section, a2709
petitioner may be accompanied by a victim advocate.2710

       (N)(1) A petitioner who obtains a protection order or consent 2711
agreement under this section or a temporary protection order under 2712
section 2919.26 of the Revised Code may provide notice of the 2713
issuance or approval of the order or agreement to the judicial and 2714
law enforcement officials in any county other than the county in 2715
which the order is issued or the agreement is approved by2716
registering that order or agreement in the other county pursuant 2717
to division (N)(2) of this section and filing a copy of the 2718
registered order or registered agreement with a law enforcement 2719
agency in the other county in accordance with that division. A 2720
person who obtains a protection order issued by a court of another 2721
state may provide notice of the issuance of the order to the2722
judicial and law enforcement officials in any county of this state 2723
by registering the order in that county pursuant to section 2724
2919.272 of the Revised Code and filing a copy of the registered 2725
order with a law enforcement agency in that county.2726

       (2) A petitioner may register a temporary protection order,2727
protection order, or consent agreement in a county other than the2728
county in which the court that issued the order or approved the2729
agreement is located in the following manner:2730

       (a) The petitioner shall obtain a certified copy of the order 2731
or agreement from the clerk of the court that issued the order or 2732
approved the agreement and present that certified copy to the 2733
clerk of the court of common pleas or the clerk of a municipal2734
court or county court in the county in which the order or2735
agreement is to be registered.2736

       (b) Upon accepting the certified copy of the order or2737
agreement for registration, the clerk of the court of common2738
pleas, municipal court, or county court shall place an endorsement2739
of registration on the order or agreement and give the petitioner2740
a copy of the order or agreement that bears that proof of2741
registration.2742

       (3) The clerk of each court of common pleas, the clerk of2743
each municipal court, and the clerk of each county court shall2744
maintain a registry of certified copies of temporary protection2745
orders, protection orders, or consent agreements that have been2746
issued or approved by courts in other counties and that have been2747
registered with the clerk.2748

       Section 2. That existing sections 2152.17, 2901.08, 2903.11, 2749
2907.01, 2907.03, 2907.05, 2919.26, 2929.01, 2929.13, 2929.14, 2750
2941.149, 2953.08, and 3113.31 of the Revised Code are hereby 2751
repealed.2752
