| 4511.191, 4511.192, 4511.194, and 4766.15 of the Revised Code be | 24 |
| amended to read as follows: | 25 |
| (D)(1) In any criminal prosecution
or juvenile court | 146 |
|
proceeding for a violation of
division (A) or (B) of this
section | 147 |
|
or
for an equivalent
violation, the court may admit evidence on | 148 |
|
the concentration of
alcohol,
drugs of abuse, controlled | 149 |
| substances, metabolites of a controlled substance,
or a | 150 |
|
combination of
them in the
defendant's
or child's whole blood, | 151 |
|
blood serum or
plasma, urine,
or
breath at the time of the alleged | 152 |
| violation as
shown by
chemical
analysis of the
substance | 153 |
withdrawn, or
specimen taken
within
twothree hours of the
time of | 154 |
| the alleged

| section 1547.111 of the Revised Code as the maximum period of time | 158 |
| during which a person may consent to a chemical test or tests as | 159 |
| described in that section. | 160 |
| When a person submits to a blood test, only a physician,
a | 161 |
|
registered nurse, or
a qualified technician,
chemist,
or | 162 |
|
phlebotomist shall
withdraw blood for the purpose of determining

content
of | 165 |
|
the whole

of breath or urine specimens. A
| 167 |
|
person
authorized to
withdraw blood
under this division may refuse | 168 |
|
to
withdraw blood
under
this division
if, in
that person's | 169 |
|
opinion, the
physical
welfare of the
defendant or
child would be | 170 |
|
endangered by
withdrawing
blood. | 171 |
| (2)
In a criminal prosecution or juvenile court
proceeding | 177 |
|
for a violation of division (A) of this section or for
a
violation | 178 |
|
of a prohibition that is substantially equivalent to
division
(A) | 179 |
|
of this section, if there was at the time the
bodily substance was | 180 |
|
taken a
concentration of
less than
the
applicable concentration
of | 181 |
|
alcohol specified
for a
violation of
division (A)(2), (3), (4),
or | 182 |
|
(5) of this
section or less than the applicable concentration of a | 183 |
| listed controlled substance or a listed metabolite of a controlled | 184 |
| substance specified for a violation of division (A)(6) of this | 185 |
| section,
that fact may
be considered with other
competent evidence | 186 |
|
in
determining the
guilt or innocence of the
defendant
or in | 187 |
| making
an
adjudication
for the child.
This
division
does not limit | 188 |
| or
affect a
criminal
prosecution or
juvenile court
proceeding for | 189 |
| a
violation of
division
(B) of this
section or for
a violation of | 190 |
| a
prohibition
that is
substantially
equivalent to
that division. | 191 |
| The person tested may have a physician,
a registered nurse, | 196 |

|
person's own
choosing administer
a chemical test or tests in | 198 |
|
addition to any administered at the
direction of a law enforcement | 199 |
|
officer, and shall be so advised.
The failure or inability to | 200 |
|
obtain an additional test by a person
shall not preclude the | 201 |
|
admission of evidence relating to the test
or tests taken at the | 202 |
|
direction of a law enforcement officer. | 203 |
| (E)(1) In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court | 204 |
|
proceeding for a violation of division (A) or (B) of this section | 205 |
|
or for an equivalent violation, if a law enforcement officer has | 206 |
|
administered a field
sobriety test to the operator or person found | 207 |
|
to be in physical
control of the vessel underway involved in the | 208 |
|
violation or the
person manipulating the water skis, aquaplane, or | 209 |
|
similar device
involved in the violation and if it is shown by | 210 |
|
clear and convincing evidence that the officer

skis, aquaplanes,
or | 219 |
|
similar devices, all of the following apply: | 220 |
| (F)(1)
Subject to division
(F)(3) of this section, in
any | 239 |
|
criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding for a violation | 240 |
|
of this
section or for an equivalent violation, the court shall | 241 |
|

breath, urine, or other
bodily substance tested and that contains | 245 |
|
all of the information
specified in this division. The laboratory | 246 |
|
report shall contain
all of the following: | 247 |
| (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law regarding the | 265 |
|
admission of
evidence, a report of
the type described in division | 266 |
|
(F)(1) of this section is not
admissible against the
defendant
or | 267 |
|
child to whom it pertains in any proceeding, other than a | 268 |
|
preliminary
hearing or a grand jury proceeding, unless the | 269 |
|
prosecutor has served a copy of the report on the
defendant's or | 270 |
|
child's attorney or, if the defendant or child has no attorney,
on | 271 |
|
the defendant or child. | 272 |
| (3) A report of the type described in division
(F)(1) of
this | 273 |
|
section shall not be prima-facie evidence of the contents, | 274 |
|
identity, or amount of any substance if, within seven days after | 275 |
|
the defendant or child to whom the report pertains or the | 276 |
|
defendant's
or child's attorney receives a copy of the report, the | 277 |
|
defendant or child or
the defendant's or child's attorney demands | 278 |
|

|
the case may extend the seven-day
time limit in the interest of | 280 |
|
justice. | 281 |
| (G) Except as otherwise provided in this division, any | 282 |
|
physician, registered nurse, or qualified technician,
chemist,
or | 283 |
|
phlebotomist who withdraws blood from a person
pursuant to this | 284 |
|
section, and a hospital, first-aid station, or clinic at which | 285 |
|
blood is withdrawn from a person pursuant to this section, is | 286 |
|
immune from criminal
and
civil liability
based upon a claim of | 287 |
|
assault and battery or
any
other
claim that is not
a claim of | 288 |
|
malpractice, for
any
act performed in withdrawing blood from the | 289 |
|
person.
The immunity
provided in this division is not available to | 290 |
|

|
wanton
misconduct. | 292 |
| (H) Division (A)(6) of this section does not apply to a | 293 |
| person who operates or is in physical control of a vessel underway | 294 |

| a listed metabolite of a controlled substance in the person's | 297 |
| whole blood, blood serum or plasma, or urine that equals or | 298 |
| exceeds the amount specified in that division, if both of the | 299 |
| following apply: | 300 |
| Sec. 1547.111. (A)(1) Any person who operates
or is in | 325 |
|
physical
control of a vessel or
manipulates any water skis, | 326 |
|
aquaplane, or
similar device upon any waters
in this state shall | 327 |
|
be deemed to
have given consent to a chemical
test or tests
to | 328 |
|
determine the
alcohol, drug of abuse,
controlled substance, | 329 |
metabolite of a controlled substance, or alcohol and drug of
abuse | 330 |
| combination content
of
the person's whole blood, blood serum or | 331 |
| plasma,
breath, or
urine
if arrested
for
operating
or being
in | 332 |
| physical
control of a vessel or
manipulating any water
skis, | 333 |
|
aquaplane, or
similar device in violation of section 1547.11
of | 334 |
|
the Revised Code
or a substantially equivalent municipal | 335 |
|
ordinance. | 336 |
| (2)
The test or tests
under division (A) of this
section | 337 |
|
shall be
administered at the
direction of a law enforcement | 338 |
|
officer having reasonable grounds
to believe the person
was | 339 |
|
operating
or in
physical control of a vessel or
manipulating
any | 340 |
|
water skis, aquaplane, or similar device in
violation of
section | 341 |
|
1547.11 of the Revised Code
or a
substantially equivalent | 342 |
|
municipal
ordinance. The law enforcement
agency
by which the | 343 |
|
officer is employed shall designate which
test
or tests shall be | 344 |
|
administered. | 345 |
| (C) Any person under arrest for
violating section 1547.11
of | 351 |
| the Revised Code
or a
substantially equivalent municipal
ordinance | 352 |
| shall be advised
of
the consequences of refusing to
submit to a | 353 |
|
chemical test
or tests
designated
as provided in
division
(A) of | 354 |
| this section. The advice shall be in a written
form
prescribed by | 355 |
| the chief of the division of watercraft and
shall
be
read to the | 356 |
| person. The form shall contain a statement
that
the
form was shown | 357 |
| to the person under arrest and read to the
person
by the arresting | 358 |
| officer. The
reading of the form shall
be witnessed by one or
more | 359 |
|
persons, and the witnesses shall
certify to this fact by
signing | 360 |
|
the form. The person must submit to the chemical test or tests, | 361 |
| subsequent to the request of the arresting officer, within two | 362 |
| hours of the time of the alleged violation, and if the person does | 363 |
| not submit to the test or tests within that two-hour time limit, | 364 |
| the failure to submit automatically constitutes a refusal to | 365 |
| submit to the test or tests. | 366 |
| (D) If a
law enforcement officer asks a person under arrest | 367 |
|
for
violating section
1547.11 of the Revised Code
or a | 368 |
|
substantially equivalent municipal
ordinance to submit to a | 369 |
|
chemical test
or tests as
provided in
division
(A) of this | 370 |
|
section,
if the arresting
officer
advises
the person of the | 371 |
|
consequences of
the
person's refusal as
provided in division (C) | 372 |
|
of
this section,
and if the person
refuses to submit, no chemical | 373 |
|
test
shall be
given.
Upon receipt of
a sworn statement of
the
| 374 |
|
officer that the
arresting law enforcement officer had
reasonable | 375 |
|
grounds to believe the arrested person
violated section 1547.11
of | 376 |
| the Revised Code or
a substantially
equivalent municipal
ordinance | 377 |
| and that the person
refused to
submit to the chemical
test upon | 378 |
|
the
request of the
officer, and upon receipt of the
form as | 379 |
| provided in
division (C) of this section certifying that
the | 380 |
| arrested person
was advised of the consequences of the
refusal, | 381 |
|
the chief of the
division of watercraft shall inform the
person by | 382 |
| written notice
that the
person is prohibited from
operating
or | 383 |
| being in physical
control of a
vessel,
from
manipulating
any
water | 384 |
| skis,
aquaplane, or
similar device, and
from
registering
any | 385 |
| watercraft
in accordance with section 1547.54
of
the Revised
Code, | 386 |
| for one
year following the date of the
alleged
violation.
The | 387 |
| suspension of these
operation,
physical
control,
manipulation, and | 388 |
|
registration privileges
shall
continue
for
the entire
one-year | 389 |
|
period, subject to review as
provided in
this
section. | 390 |
| If the person under arrest is the owner of the vessel | 391 |
|
involved in the alleged violation, the
law enforcement officer who | 392 |
|
arrested the person shall
seize the watercraft registration | 393 |
|
certificate and tags from the
vessel involved in the violation and | 394 |
|
forward them to the chief. The chief shall retain the
impounded | 395 |
|
registration certificate and tags and shall impound
all other | 396 |
|
registration
certificates and tags issued to the person in | 397 |
|
accordance with sections 1547.54 and 1547.57 of the Revised Code, | 398 |
|
for a period of one year following the date of the alleged | 399 |
|
violation,
subject to review as provided in this section. | 400 |
| If the arrested person fails to surrender the
registration | 401 |
|
certificate because it is not on the person of the
arrested person | 402 |
|
or in the watercraft, the law enforcement
officer who made the | 403 |
|
arrest shall order the person to
surrender it within twenty-four | 404 |
|
hours to the law enforcement officer or the
law enforcement agency | 405 |
|
that employs the law enforcement officer.
If the person fails to | 406 |
|
do so, the law
enforcement officer shall notify the chief of that | 407 |
|
fact in the
statement the officer submits to the chief under this | 408 |
|
division. | 409 |
| (E) Upon suspending a person's operation,
physical control,
| 410 |
|
manipulation,
and
registration privileges in accordance with | 411 |
|
division (D)
of this
section, the chief shall notify the
person in | 412 |
|
writing, at
the person's last known address, and
inform the person | 413 |
|
that the
person may
petition for a hearing in accordance with | 414 |
|
division (F)
of this section. If a
person whose operation, | 415 |
|
physical control,
manipulation,
and registration
privileges
have | 416 |
| been suspended
petitions for
a hearing or appeals any
adverse | 417 |
|
decision, the suspension
shall
begin at the
termination
of any | 418 |
|
hearing or appeal unless the
hearing or appeal
results in a | 419 |
|
decision
favorable to the person. | 420 |
| (F) Any person who has been notified by the chief that the | 421 |
|
person is prohibited from
operating
or being in physical control | 422 |
|
of a vessel or
manipulating any
water skis, aquaplane, or
similar | 423 |
|
device
and
from registering any watercraft in accordance
with | 424 |
| section
1547.54 of the Revised Code, or who has had the | 425 |
|
registration
certificate and tags of the person's watercraft | 426 |
|
impounded
pursuant
to
division (D) of this section, within twenty | 427 |
|
days of the
notification or impoundment, may file a petition in | 428 |
|
the municipal
court or the county court, or if the person is a | 429 |
|
minor
in juvenile
court,
with jurisdiction
over the place
at
which | 430 |
| the
arrest
occurred,
agreeing to pay the cost of the
proceedings | 431 |
| and
alleging
error in
the action taken by the chief
under
division | 432 |
| (D)
of this
section or alleging one or more of the
matters within | 433 |
| the
scope of
the hearing as provided in this
section, or both. The | 434 |
|
petitioner
shall notify the chief of the
filing of the
petition | 435 |
|
and send
the
chief a copy of the petition. | 436 |
| The scope of the hearing is limited to the issues of
whether | 437 |
|
the law enforcement officer had reasonable grounds to
believe the | 438 |
|
petitioner was operating
or in physical control of a vessel
or
| 439 |
|
manipulating any water
skis, aquaplane, or similar device
in | 440 |
|
violation of
section 1547.11
of the Revised Code or a | 441 |
|
substantially equivalent municipal
ordinance,
whether the | 442 |
|
petitioner was placed under arrest, whether
the petitioner
refused | 443 |
|
to submit to the chemical test upon request
of the
officer, and | 444 |
|
whether the petitioner was advised of the
consequences of the | 445 |
|
petitioner's refusal. | 446 |
| In the proceedings, the chief shall be represented by
the | 457 |
|
prosecuting attorney of the county in which the petition is
filed | 458 |
|
if the petition is filed in a county court or juvenile
court, | 459 |
|
except that if the arrest occurred within a city or
village within | 460 |
|
the jurisdiction of the county court in which the
petition is | 461 |
|
filed, the city director of law or village solicitor
of that city | 462 |

petition is filed in | 463 |
|
the municipal court, the chief shall be
represented as provided in | 464 |
|
section 1901.34 of the
Revised
Code. | 465 |
| (3) If the court finds from the evidence submitted that
the | 466 |
|
person has failed to show error in the action taken by the
chief | 467 |
|
under division (D) of this
section or in one or more of the | 468 |
|
matters within the scope of the
hearing as provided in division | 469 |
|
(F) of this section, or both,
the court shall assess the cost of | 470 |
|
the proceeding against
the person and shall uphold the suspension | 471 |
|
of the operation,
physical
control, use, and registration | 472 |
|
privileges provided in division (D)
of this
section. If the court | 473 |
|
finds that the person has shown error in
the action taken by the | 474 |
|
chief under
division (D) of this section or in one or more of the | 475 |
|
matters
within the scope of the hearing as provided in division | 476 |
|
(F) of
this section, or both, the cost of the proceedings shall be | 477 |
|
paid
out of the county treasury of the county in which the | 478 |
|
proceedings
were held,
the chief shall reinstate the operation, | 479 |
|
physical
control,
manipulation,
and registration privileges of
the | 480 |
|
person
without charge, and
the chief shall
return the
registration | 481 |
|
certificate and tags, if impounded,
without charge. | 482 |
| (H) At the end of any period of suspension or impoundment | 485 |
|
imposed under this section, and upon request of the person whose | 486 |
|
operation,
physical control, use,
and registration privileges
were | 487 |
|
suspended or
whose registration certificate and tags were | 488 |
|
impounded, the chief
shall reinstate the person's
operation, | 489 |
|
physical control,
manipulation, and registration privileges by | 490 |
|
written
notice and
return the certificate and tags. | 491 |
| (I) No person who has received written notice from the
chief | 492 |
|
that the person is
prohibited from operating

aquaplane, | 494 |
| or
similar

impounded, in
accordance with division (D) of
this | 497 |
| section, shall
operate
or be in
physical control of a vessel
or
| 498 |
|
manipulate any water
skis, aquaplane, or

a | 499 |
| period of one year
following the date of the person's
alleged | 500 |
|
violation of section
1547.11 of the Revised Code
or the | 501 |
|
substantially equivalent
municipal ordinance. | 502 |
| (F) Whoever violates division (M) of section 1547.54, | 517 |
|
division (G) of section 1547.30, or section 1547.131, 1547.25, | 518 |

Revised Code or a rule adopted under division (A)(2) of | 520 |
|
section
1547.52 of the Revised Code is guilty of a misdemeanor of | 521 |

|
term of three
consecutive days
that it is required
to impose by | 533 |
|
division (G)(1) of this section if the court, in
lieu
of the | 534 |
|
suspended
jail term, places the offender
under a community control | 535 |

|
the
execution of any part of the mandatory
jail term of three | 540 |
| consecutive days
that it is
required to impose by division
(G)(1) | 541 |
|
of this section if
the court
places the offender
under a community | 542 |
| control
sanction pursuant to section 2929.25 of the Revised Code | 543 |
| for
part
of the three
consecutive days; requires the offender to | 544 |

for that part
of the three consecutive days, a drivers' | 545 |

jail term
| 547 |
| equal
to the remainder of the three consecutive days
that the | 548 |
| offender
does not spend attending the drivers'
intervention | 549 |
| program. The
court may require the offender, as a
condition of
| 550 |
|
community control, to
attend and

against the mayor hearing or | 1015 |
| determining the prosecution or cause
does not affect and shall not | 1016 |
| be construed as affecting the
jurisdiction or authority of a | 1017 |
| person appointed as a mayor's

| to hear and determine the

| this section. In hearing
and determining such prosecutions and | 1020 |
| causes, the magistrate has
the same powers, duties, and authority | 1021 |
| as does a mayor who
conducts a mayor's court to hear and determine | 1022 |
| prosecutions and
causes in general, including, but not limited to, | 1023 |
| the power and

causes in mayor's courts. A judgment entered and a sentence | 1031 |
|
imposed by a mayor's court magistrate do not have to be reviewed | 1032 |
|
or approved by the mayor who appointed the magistrate, and
have | 1033 |
| the same
force and effect as if they had been entered or imposed | 1034 |
| by the
mayor. | 1035 |
| (B) The appointment of a person as a mayor's court
magistrate | 1047 |
| under division (A) of this section does not preclude
the mayor | 1048 |

of the client
or, if the client is deceased, by the express | 1096 |
|
consent of the
surviving spouse or the executor or administrator | 1097 |
|
of the estate
of the deceased client and except that, if the | 1098 |
|
client voluntarily
testifies or is deemed by section 2151.421 of | 1099 |

the Revised Code to

evidence of patient | 1152 |
|
records or other communications in such an

|
that appropriate measures be taken to
ensure that the | 1154 |

|
that the testimony is necessary to establish the party's rights as | 1168 |
|
described in this division. | 1169 |

| offense in question, and that conforms to section
2317.022 of the | 1182 |
| Revised Code, the provider, except to the extent
specifically | 1183 |
|
prohibited by any law of this state or of the United
States, shall | 1184 |

|
the victim if the victim had not suffered the fatal

|
death,
the minor child continues after the adoption to incur a | 1756 |
|
dependent's economic
loss as a result of the victim's death. If | 1757 |
|
the surviving spouse of a victim
remarries, the surviving spouse | 1758 |

had | 1764 |
|
not suffered the fatal injury, less expenses of the dependents | 1765 |
|
avoided by reason of the victim's death and not subtracted in | 1766 |
|
calculating the dependent's economic loss. If a minor child of a | 1767 |
|
victim is
adopted after the victim's death, the minor child | 1768 |
|
continues after the adoption
to incur a dependent's replacement | 1769 |
|
services loss as a result of the victim's
death. If the surviving | 1770 |
|
spouse of a victim remarries, the surviving spouse

| for each family member and shall not exceed in the aggregate the | 1800 |
| difference between seven thousand five hundred dollars and | 1801 |
| expenses that are reimbursed by the program and that are directly | 1802 |
| related to the victim's funeral, cremation, or burial. | 1803 |

the offender | 2463 |
| has the
express or implied permission of a person
with
a right, | 2464 |
|
title, or
interest to use, occupy, or possess if the
probation | 2465 |

offender is | 2466 |
| not abiding by
the law or
otherwise is not complying
with the | 2467 |
| conditions of the
misdemeanor
offender's
community control | 2468 |
| sanction or the conditions of
the
felony
offender's nonresidential | 2469 |

| responsibilities may conduct
those
types
of
searches during the | 2486 |
| period of

| with the conditions of the
offender's
community
control sanction | 2490 |

division. If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a | 2496 |
|
felony, the court, pursuant to sections 2929.15 and 2929.17 of the | 2497 |
|
Revised Code, may impose a sanction that requires the offender to | 2498 |

|
that render services to the community or
its citizens, in | 2505 |
|

| including,
but not limited to, the costs of procuring a
policy or | 2509 |

| the offender
will perform the work. | 2511 |
| (2) An agency, political subdivision, or charitable | 2528 |
|
organization must agree to accept the offender for the work
before | 2529 |
|
the court requires the offender to perform the work for the | 2530 |
|
entity. A

|
supervised
community service work for an agency, political | 2532 |
|
subdivision, or
charitable organization at a location that is an | 2533 |
|
unreasonable

|
location where
the work is to be performed. | 2536 |
| (3) A court may enter into an agreement with a county | 2537 |

activities,
developmental activities, and | 2540 |
|
alternative work activities under sections 5107.40
to 5107.69 of | 2541 |
|
the
Revised Code. If a court and a county
department of job and | 2542 |
|
family services have entered into an
agreement of that nature, the | 2543 |
|
clerk of that court is authorized to pay
directly to the county | 2544 |
|
department all or a portion of the fees
collected by the court | 2545 |
|
pursuant to this division in accordance with the terms
of its | 2546 |
|
agreement. | 2547 |
| (4) Community service work that a court requires under
this | 2548 |
|
division shall be supervised by an official of the agency, | 2549 |
|
political subdivision, or charitable organization for which the | 2550 |
|
work is performed or by a person designated by the agency, | 2551 |
|
political subdivision, or charitable organization. The official
or | 2552 |
| designated person shall be qualified for the supervision by | 2553 |
|
education, training, or experience, and periodically shall
report, | 2554 |
|
in writing, to the court and to the offender's probation
officer | 2555 |
|
concerning the conduct of the offender in performing the
work. | 2556 |

|
2929.27, and 2929.28 of the Revised Code for a misdemeanor, shall | 2562 |
|

that must be imposed
pursuant to | 3100 |
|
this
division. The scope of the
hearing shall be
limited to | 3101 |

|
The
filing of a notice of appeal does not stay
the
operation of | 3139 |
|
the
suspension
that must be imposed
pursuant to
this
division.
The | 3140 |
| scope of the hearing shall be
limited to
whether
the person | 3141 |
|
actually was convicted of or pleaded
guilty to
the
offense for | 3142 |
|
which the suspension
is

|
2925.31, 2925.32,
2925.36, or 2925.37
of the Revised Code. Upon | 3158 |
|
receipt of a report
from a court,
court
clerk, or other official | 3159 |
|
of any other state or
from any
federal
authority that a child who | 3160 |

|
last known address
as shown in
the records of the bureau of motor | 3164 |
|
vehicles, informing
the child
of the suspension, that the | 3165 |
|
suspension or
denial will
take effect
twenty-one days from the | 3166 |

|
suspension, the child
must file a notice of appeal within | 3168 |
|
twenty-one
days of the date of
the notice requesting a hearing on | 3169 |
|
the matter.
If the child
requests a hearing, the registrar shall | 3170 |
|
hold the
hearing not more
than forty
days after receipt by the | 3171 |
|
registrar of
the notice of
appeal. The filing of a notice of | 3172 |
|
appeal does not
stay the
operation of the suspension
that must be | 3173 |
|
imposed
pursuant to this division. The scope of the
hearing shall | 3174 |
|
be
limited to whether the child actually was convicted of
or | 3175 |
|
pleaded
guilty to the offense for which
the suspension
is to be | 3176 |
|
imposed. | 3177 |
| The
suspension the registrar is required to impose
under
this | 3178 |
|
division shall end either on the last day of
the class D | 3179 |
|
suspension period or of the suspension of the
child's nonresident | 3180 |
|
operating privilege
imposed by the state or
federal court, | 3181 |
|
whichever is earlier.
If the child is a resident of this state
who | 3182 |
|
is sixteen
years of
age or older and does not have a current, | 3183 |
|
valid Ohio
driver's or
commercial driver's license or permit, the | 3184 |

inform the
child that the child will be denied | 3185 |
|
issuance of a driver's or
commercial driver's license or permit | 3186 |
|

|
notice, the notice shall inform
the child that the period of | 3189 |
|
denial of six months shall commence
on the
date the child attains | 3190 |
|
the age of sixteen years. | 3191 |
| The registrar shall subscribe to or otherwise participate
in | 3192 |
|
any information system or register, or enter into reciprocal
and | 3193 |
|
mutual agreements with other states and federal authorities,
in | 3194 |
|
order to facilitate the exchange of information with other
states | 3195 |
|
and the United States government regarding children who
are | 3196 |
|
residents of this state and plead guilty to or are convicted
of | 3197 |
|
offenses described in this division and therefore are subject
to | 3198 |
|
the suspension or denial described in this division. | 3199 |
| (D) The registrar shall
impose
a class D suspension of the | 3200 |
|
child's
driver's license, commercial
driver's license, temporary | 3201 |
|
instruction permit,
probationary
license, or nonresident operating | 3202 |
|
privilege for the period of
time
specified in division (B)(4) of | 3203 |
|
section 4510.02 of the Revised
Code on any
child who is a resident | 3204 |
|
of this state and
is convicted
of or
pleads guilty to a
violation | 3205 |
|
of a statute of
any other state
or a
municipal ordinance of a | 3206 |
|
municipal
corporation located in any
other state that is | 3207 |
|
substantially
similar to section 4511.19 of
the Revised Code.
Upon | 3208 |
|
receipt of
a report from another state
made pursuant to
section
| 3209 |
|
4510.61 of the Revised Code
indicating
that a child who
is a | 3210 |
|
resident
of this state was
convicted of or
pleaded guilty to
an | 3211 |
|
offense
described in this
division, the
registrar shall send a | 3212 |
|
notice by
regular first class
mail to the
child, at the child's | 3213 |
|
last known address
as shown in
the records
of the bureau of motor | 3214 |
|
vehicles,
informing the child
of the
suspension, that the | 3215 |
|
suspension
will
take
effect twenty-one
days from the date of the | 3216 |
|
notice, and that,
if
the
child wishes to appeal
the suspension, | 3217 |
|
the child
must file a notice
of appeal within
twenty-one days of | 3218 |
|
the date of
the notice requesting a hearing on
the matter. If the | 3219 |
|
child
requests a hearing, the registrar shall
hold the hearing not | 3220 |
|
more
than forty
days after receipt by the
registrar of the notice | 3221 |
|
of
appeal. The filing of a notice of
appeal does not stay the | 3222 |
|
operation of the suspension
that must be imposed
pursuant to this | 3223 |
|
division. The scope of the
hearing shall be
limited to whether
the | 3224 |
| child actually was convicted of
or pleaded
guilty to the
offense | 3225 |
| for which the
suspension
is to be
imposed. | 3226 |
| The
suspension the registrar is required to impose
under
this | 3227 |
|
division shall end either on the last day of
the class D | 3228 |
|
suspension period or of the suspension of the
child's nonresident | 3229 |
|
operating privilege
imposed by the state or
federal court, | 3230 |
|
whichever is earlier.
If the child is a resident of this state
who | 3231 |
|
is sixteen
years of
age or older and does not have a current, | 3232 |
|
valid Ohio
driver's or
commercial driver's license or permit, the | 3233 |
|
notice shall
inform the
child that the child will be denied | 3234 |
|
issuance of a driver's or
commercial driver's license or permit | 3235 |
|
for six months beginning on
the date of the notice. If the child | 3236 |
|
has not attained the age of
sixteen years on the date of the | 3237 |
|
notice, the notice shall inform
the child that the period of | 3238 |
|
denial of six months shall commence
on the
date the child attains | 3239 |
|
the age of sixteen years. | 3240 |
| (E) Any person whose license or permit has been suspended | 3241 |
|
pursuant to
this section may file a
petition in the municipal or | 3242 |
| county court, or in case the person
is under
eighteen years of | 3243 |
| age, the juvenile court, in whose
jurisdiction the person
resides, | 3244 |
| agreeing to
pay the cost of the
proceedings and alleging that the | 3245 |
| suspension
would seriously
affect the person's ability to continue | 3246 |
| the person's
employment.
Upon satisfactory proof that there is | 3247 |
| reasonable cause to believe
that the suspension would seriously | 3248 |
| affect the person's ability to
continue
the person's employment, | 3249 |
| the judge may grant the person
limited driving
privileges during | 3250 |
| the period during
which the
suspension otherwise would be
imposed, | 3251 |
| except that the
judge shall
not grant
limited driving
privileges | 3252 |
| for
employment as a
driver
of a commercial motor vehicle to any | 3253 |
|
person
who would be
disqualified from operating a commercial motor | 3254 |
|
vehicle under
section 4506.16
of the Revised Code if the violation | 3255 |
|
had occurred
in this state, or during any
of the following periods | 3256 |
|
of time: | 3257 |
| (e) Division (A)(2), (3), or (4) of
section 2903.06,
division | 3277 |
| (A)(2) of section
2903.08, or
as it existed prior
to
March 23, | 3278 |
| 2000, section 2903.07 of
the Revised
Code, or
a
municipal | 3279 |
|
ordinance that is substantially
similar to any of those
divisions | 3280 |
|
or that former section,
in a
case in which the jury or
judge found | 3281 |
|
that the
person was under
the influence of alcohol, a
drug of | 3282 |
|
abuse, or
alcohol and a drug
of abuse. | 3283 |
| If a person petitions for
limited driving
privileges
under | 3299 |
|
division (E) of this section, the registrar shall
be
represented | 3300 |
|
by the county prosecutor of the county in which
the
person resides | 3301 |
|
if the petition is filed in a juvenile court
or
county court, | 3302 |
|
except that if the person resides within a city
or
village that is | 3303 |
|
located within the jurisdiction of the county
in
which the | 3304 |
|
petition is filed, the city director of law or
village
solicitor | 3305 |
|
of that city or village shall represent the
registrar.
If the | 3306 |
|
petition is filed in a municipal court, the
registrar shall
be | 3307 |
|
represented as provided in section 1901.34
of the Revised Code. | 3308 |
| In granting
limited driving privileges under
division
(E) of | 3309 |
|
this section, the court may impose any condition
it
considers | 3310 |
|
reasonable and necessary to limit the use of a
vehicle
by the | 3311 |
|
person. The court shall deliver to the person a
permit
card, in a | 3312 |
|
form to be prescribed by the court, setting
forth the
time, place, | 3313 |
|
and other conditions limiting the person's
use of a
motor vehicle. | 3314 |
|
The grant of
limited driving
privileges shall
be conditioned upon | 3315 |
|
the person's having the
permit in the person's
possession at all | 3316 |
|
times during which
the
person is
operating a
vehicle. | 3317 |
| (1)
"Child" means a person who is under the age of
eighteen | 3324 |
|
years, except that any person who violates a statute or
ordinance | 3325 |
|
described in division (C) or (D) of this section prior
to | 3326 |
|
attaining eighteen years of age shall be deemed a
"child" | 3327 |
|
irrespective of the person's age at the time the complaint
or | 3328 |
|
other
equivalent document is filed in the other state or a | 3329 |
|
hearing,
trial, or other proceeding is held in the other state on | 3330 |
|
the
complaint or other equivalent document, and irrespective of | 3331 |
|
the
person's
age when the period of license suspension or denial | 3332 |
|
prescribed in
division (C) or (D) of this section is imposed. | 3333 |
| (4) If the suspension was imposed because the person was | 3372 |
|
under
the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or combination of | 3373 |
|
them at the
time of the offense or because at the time of the | 3374 |
|
offense the person's whole blood, blood serum or plasma, breath, | 3375 |
|
or urine contained at least the concentration of alcohol specified | 3376 |
|
in division (A)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e) of section 4511.19 of the | 3377 |
|
Revised Code or at least the concentration of a listed controlled | 3378 |
| substance or a listed metabolite of a controlled substance | 3379 |
| specified in division (A)(1)(j) of section 4511.19 of the Revised | 3380 |
| Code, the person also shall demonstrate
all of the
following: | 3381 |
| (B) Upon receipt of a motion for modification or termination | 3388 |
|
of
the suspension under this section, the court may schedule a | 3389 |
|
hearing on the
motion. The court may deny the motion without a | 3390 |
| hearing but shall not grant the motion without a hearing. If the | 3391 |
| court denies a motion without a hearing, the court may consider a | 3392 |
| subsequent motion filed under this section by that person. If a | 3393 |
| court denies the motion after a hearing, the court shall not | 3394 |
| consider a subsequent motion for that person. The court shall hear | 3395 |
| only one motion filed by a person under this section. If | 3396 |
| scheduled, the hearing shall be
conducted
in open court within | 3397 |
| ninety days after the date on which
the
motion is filed. | 3398 |
| (D) At any hearing under this section, the person who seeks | 3405 |
|
modification or termination of the suspension has the burden to | 3406 |
|
demonstrate,
under oath, that the person meets the requirements
of | 3407 |
|
division (A) of this section. At the hearing, the court
shall | 3408 |
|
afford the offender or the offender's counsel an opportunity
to | 3409 |
|
present oral or written information relevant to the motion.
The | 3410 |
|
court shall afford a similar opportunity to provide relevant | 3411 |
|
information to the prosecuting attorney and the victim or victim's | 3412 |
|
representative. | 3413 |
| Before ruling on the motion, the court shall take into | 3414 |
|
account the
person's driving record, the nature of the offense | 3415 |
|
that led to the
suspension, and the impact of the offense on any | 3416 |
|
victim. In addition,
if the offender is eligible for modification | 3417 |
|
or termination of the
suspension under division (A)(2) of this | 3418 |
|
section, the court shall
consider whether the person committed any | 3419 |
|
other offense while under suspension
and determine whether the | 3420 |
|
offense is relevant to a determination under this
section. The | 3421 |
|
court may modify or terminate the suspension subject to any | 3422 |
|
considerations it considers proper if it finds that allowing the | 3423 |
|
person to drive is not likely to present a danger to the public.
| 3424 |
|
After the court makes a ruling on a motion filed under this | 3425 |
|
section, the
prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim
or the | 3426 |
|
victim's representative of the court's ruling. | 3427 |
| (5) A violation of division (A)(2), (3), or (4) of section | 3447 |
|
2903.06, division (A)(2) of section 2903.08, or former section | 3448 |
|
2903.07
of the Revised Code, or a municipal ordinance that is | 3449 |
|
substantially equivalent to any of
those divisions or that former | 3450 |
|
section, in a case in which a judge or jury as
the trier of fact | 3451 |
|
found that the offender was under the influence of alcohol, a drug | 3452 |
|
of
abuse, or a combination of them; | 3453 |
| (C)
"Municipal OVI ordinance" and "municipal
OVI offense" | 3473 |
|
mean any
municipal ordinance prohibiting a person from operating a | 3474 |
|
vehicle while under
the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or | 3475 |
|
a combination of them or
prohibiting
a person from operating a | 3476 |
|
vehicle with a prohibited concentration
of alcohol, a controlled | 3477 |
| substance, or a metabolite of a controlled substance in the whole | 3478 |
|
blood, blood serum or plasma, breath, or
urine. | 3479 |
| (b) Subsequent to being arrested for operating the vehicle, | 3602 |
| streetcar, or trackless trolley as described in division (A)(2)(a) | 3603 |
| of this section, being asked by a law enforcement officer to | 3604 |
| submit to a chemical test or tests under section 4511.191 of the | 3605 |
| Revised Code, and being advised by the officer in accordance with | 3606 |
| section 4511.192 of the Revised Code of the consequences of the | 3607 |
| person's refusal or submission to the test or tests, refuse to | 3608 |
| submit to the test or tests. | 3609 |
| (D)(1) In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court | 3632 |
|
proceeding for a violation of
division (A) or (B) of this section | 3633 |
|
or for an equivalent
offense, the court may admit
evidence on the | 3634 |
|
concentration of
alcohol, drugs of abuse, controlled substances, | 3635 |
| metabolites of a controlled substance, or
a combination of
them in | 3636 |
| the
defendant's
whole blood,
blood serum or plasma,
breath, urine, | 3637 |
| or
other bodily
substance at the time of the
alleged violation as | 3638 |
shown by
chemical analysis of the
substance
withdrawn within two | 3639 |
| three hours of
the time of
the alleged violation. The three-hour | 3640 |
| time limit specified in this division regarding the admission of | 3641 |
| evidence does not extend or affect the two-hour time limit | 3642 |
| specified in division (A) of section 4511.192 of the Revised Code | 3643 |
| as the maximum period of time during which a person may consent to | 3644 |
| a chemical test or tests as described in that section. | 3645 |
| When a person submits to a blood test at the request of a
law | 3646 |
| enforcement officer under section 4511.191 of the
Revised
Code, | 3647 |
| only a
physician, a registered nurse, or a qualified

determining
the
alcohol, drug, controlled substance, metabolite of | 3650 |
a controlled substance, or alcohol and
drugcombination content
of | 3651 |
| the whole blood, blood serum,
or blood plasma.
This
limitation | 3652 |
| does
not apply to the taking of breath or urine
specimens. A
| 3653 |
|
person authorized to withdraw blood under
this
division may
refuse | 3654 |
| to withdraw blood
under this division, if in
that person's | 3655 |
|
opinion, the physical welfare of
the person would
be
endangered by | 3656 |
| the withdrawing of blood. | 3657 |
| (2) In a criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding | 3662 |
|
for a violation of division (A) of this section
or for an | 3663 |
|
equivalent offense, if there was at the time the

| concentration of a listed controlled substance or a listed | 3668 |
| metabolite of a controlled substance specified for a violation of | 3669 |
| division (A)(1)(j) of this section, that fact
may be considered | 3670 |
|
with other
competent evidence
in determining the guilt or | 3671 |
|
innocence of the
defendant. This
division does not limit or
affect | 3672 |
| a criminal
prosecution or
juvenile court proceeding for a | 3673 |
|
violation of
division (B) of this
section or
for an equivalent | 3674 |
| offense that
is
substantially
equivalent to
that
division. | 3675 |
| The person tested may have a physician, a registered nurse, | 3680 |
|
or a qualified technician, chemist,
or
phlebotomist of the | 3681 |
|
person's own
choosing administer a chemical test or tests,
at the | 3682 |
|
person's

under
section 4511.192 of the Revised
Code, | 3685 |
| shall state that the person
may have an
independent test
performed | 3686 |
| at the person's expense.
The failure or
inability to
obtain an | 3687 |
| additional
chemical test by
a person shall not preclude
the | 3688 |
| admission of
evidence relating to
the chemical test or tests
taken | 3689 |
| at the
request of a
law
enforcement officer. | 3690 |
| (b) In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding | 3696 |

|
the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or alcohol and a drug | 3699 |

|
vehicle with a prohibited concentration of alcohol, a controlled | 3701 |
| substance, or a metabolite of a controlled substance in the blood, | 3702 |
|
breath, or urine, if a law enforcement officer has administered a | 3703 |
|
field sobriety test to the operator of the vehicle involved in the | 3704 |
|
violation and if it is shown by clear and convincing evidence that | 3705 |
|
the officer administered the test in substantial
compliance with | 3706 |
|
the testing standards for any reliable, credible,
and generally | 3707 |
|
accepted field sobriety
tests that were in effect at
the time the | 3708 |

| (j)
or

admitted as prima-facie | 3739 |
|
evidence of the information and statements
that the report | 3740 |
|
contains. The laboratory report shall contain all
of the | 3741 |
|
following: | 3742 |
| (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law regarding the | 3760 |
|
admission of
evidence, a report of the type described
in division | 3761 |
|
(E)(1) of this section is not admissible against the
defendant to | 3762 |
|
whom
it pertains in any proceeding, other than a preliminary | 3763 |
|
hearing or a grand

|
defendant has no attorney, on the defendant. | 3766 |
| (3) A report of the type described in division (E)(1) of
this | 3767 |
|
section shall not be prima-facie evidence of the contents, | 3768 |

|
the
defendant to whom the report pertains or the defendant's | 3770 |
|
attorney
receives a copy of the report, the defendant or the | 3771 |
|
defendant's
attorney demands the testimony of the person who | 3772 |
|
signed the

|
time limit
in the interest of justice. | 3774 |
| (F) Except as otherwise provided in this division, any | 3775 |
|
physician, registered nurse, or qualified
technician, chemist,
or | 3776 |
|
phlebotomist who
withdraws blood from a person pursuant
to this | 3777 |
|
section, and any hospital, first-aid station, or clinic
at which | 3778 |
|
blood is withdrawn from a person pursuant to this
section, is | 3779 |
|
immune from criminal liability and
civil
liability
based upon a | 3780 |
|

any other
claim that is not
a | 3781 |
|
claim
of malpractice, for any
act performed in withdrawing blood | 3782 |
|
from
the person.
The immunity
provided in this division is not | 3783 |
|
available to a

withdraws blood if the person engages in | 3784 |
|
willful or wanton
misconduct. | 3785 |
| (G)(1) Whoever violates any provision of divisions
(A)(1)(a) | 3786 |
| to
(i) or (A)(2) of this section is
guilty of
operating a vehicle | 3787 |
| under the
influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or a
combination | 3788 |
| of them.
Whoever violates division (A)(1)(j) of this section is | 3789 |
| guilty of operating a vehicle while under the influence of a | 3790 |
| listed controlled substance or a listed metabolite of a controlled | 3791 |
| substance. The court shall sentence the offender for either | 3792 |
| offense under
Chapter 2929. of the
Revised Code, except as | 3793 |
| otherwise
authorized or required by
divisions (G)(1)(a)
to (e)
of | 3794 |
| this section: | 3795 |
| (i)
If the sentence is being imposed for a violation of | 3800 |
division
(A)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e), or (j) of this section, | 3801 |
| a
mandatory jail term
of three consecutive days. As used in
this | 3802 |
|
division, three consecutive days means seventy-two consecutive | 3803 |
|
hours.
The court
may sentence an offender to both an
intervention | 3804 |
|
program and a jail term. The court may impose a jail
term in | 3805 |
|
addition to the three-day mandatory jail term or intervention | 3806 |
|
program. However,
in no case shall the cumulative jail term | 3807 |
|
imposed for the offense
exceed six months. | 3808 |
| The court may suspend the execution of the
three-day jail | 3809 |
|
term under this division if the court, in lieu of that
suspended | 3810 |
|
term, places the offender under a community control sanction | 3811 |
| pursuant to section 2929.25 of the Revised Code and requires the | 3812 |
| offender
to
attend, for three consecutive days, a
drivers' | 3813 |
| intervention
program certified under section 3793.10 of the | 3814 |
| Revised Code.
The
court also may suspend the execution of any part | 3815 |
| of the
three-day
jail term under this division if it places the | 3816 |
| offender under a community control sanction pursuant to section | 3817 |
| 2929.25 of the Revised Code for part of the three days, requires | 3818 |
| the offender to
attend for the suspended part of the term a | 3819 |
| drivers' intervention
program so certified, and sentences the | 3820 |
| offender to a jail term
equal to the remainder of the three | 3821 |
| consecutive days that the
offender does not spend attending the | 3822 |
| program. The court may
require the offender, as a condition of | 3823 |
| community control and in addition
to the required attendance at a | 3824 |
| drivers' intervention program, to
attend and satisfactorily | 3825 |
| complete any treatment or education
programs that comply with the | 3826 |
| minimum standards adopted pursuant
to Chapter 3793. of the Revised | 3827 |
| Code by the director of alcohol

| the operators of the drivers'
intervention program determine that | 3829 |
| the offender should attend and
to report periodically to the court | 3830 |
| on the offender's progress in
the programs. The court also may | 3831 |
| impose on the offender any other
conditions of community control | 3832 |
| that it considers necessary. | 3833 |
| (ii)
If the sentence is being imposed for a violation of | 3834 |

attend, for three
consecutive days, | 3838 |
| a drivers' intervention
program that is
certified pursuant to | 3839 |
| section 3793.10 of the
Revised Code. As
used in this division, | 3840 |
| three consecutive days
means seventy-two consecutive
hours. If the | 3841 |
| court determines that
the offender is not
conducive to treatment | 3842 |
| in a drivers'
intervention program, if the
offender refuses to | 3843 |
| attend a drivers'
intervention program, or if the jail at
which | 3844 |
| the offender is to
serve the jail term imposed can provide a | 3845 |
|
driver's intervention
program, the court shall sentence the | 3846 |
|
offender to a mandatory jail
term of at least six consecutive | 3847 |
|
days. | 3848 |
| The court may require the offender, under a community control | 3849 |

| attend and satisfactorily complete any treatment or
education | 3851 |
|
programs that comply with the minimum standards adopted
pursuant | 3852 |
| to
Chapter 3793. of the Revised Code by the director of
alcohol | 3853 |
| and drug addiction services, in addition to the required | 3854 |
|
attendance at
drivers' intervention program, that the operators of | 3855 |
|
the drivers' intervention
program determine that
the offender | 3856 |
|
should attend and to report periodically to the court
on the | 3857 |
|
offender's progress in the programs. The court also may
impose
any | 3858 |
| other conditions of community control on the offender that it | 3859 |
|
considers necessary. | 3860 |
| (i)
If the sentence is being imposed for a violation of | 3875 |
division
(A)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e), or (j) of this section, | 3876 |

of ten consecutive days. The court
shall | 3877 |
|
impose the ten-day mandatory jail term under this division unless, | 3878 |
|
subject to division (G)(3) of this section, it instead
imposes a | 3879 |
|

|
offender
to attend a drivers' intervention program that is | 3889 |
|
certified pursuant to
section 3793.10 of the Revised Code. If the | 3890 |
|
operator of the
program determines that the offender is alcohol | 3891 |
|
dependent, the
program shall notify the court, and, subject to | 3892 |
|
division (I) of
this section, the court shall order the offender | 3893 |
|
to obtain treatment through
an alcohol and drug
addiction program | 3894 |
|
authorized by section 3793.02 of the Revised
Code. | 3895 |

| section, except as
otherwise provided in
this division, a | 3898 |
| mandatory jail term of
twenty consecutive days. The court
shall | 3899 |
| impose the twenty-day
mandatory jail term under
this division | 3900 |

division (G)(3) of this section,
it instead | 3901 |

|
offender
to attend a driver's intervention program that is | 3912 |
|
certified pursuant to

|
dependent, the
program shall notify the court, and, subject to | 3915 |
|
division (I) of
this section, the court shall order the offender | 3916 |

impose the thirty-day mandatory jail term under this division | 3943 |
|
unless, subject to division (G)(3) of this section, it
instead | 3944 |
|
imposes a sentence under that division consisting of both a jail | 3945 |
|
term and a term of
house arrest with electronic monitoring, with | 3946 |
| continuous alcohol monitoring, or with both electronic monitoring | 3947 |

apply: | 4788 |
| Sec. 4511.192. (A)
The arresting law enforcement officer | 4795 |
|
shall give
advice
in
accordance with
this section to any person | 4796 |
|
under arrest
for a
violation of division (A) or (B) of section | 4797 |

4511.19
of the
Revised
Code, section 4511.194 of the Revised Code | 4798 |
| or a substantially equivalent municipal ordinance,
or a municipal | 4799 |
|
OVI
ordinance. The
officer shall give that advice
in
a written | 4800 |
|
form
that
contains the information described in
division (B) of | 4801 |
|
this
section and shall read the
advice to the
person. The
form | 4802 |
|
shall
contain a statement that the form was

person | 4803 |
|
under
arrest and read to the person by the
arresting officer. One | 4804 |

arresting officer's reading of | 4805 |
|
the

the witnesses shall
certify to this fact by signing | 4806 |
|
the
form. The person must submit to the chemical test or tests, | 4807 |
| subsequent to the request of the arresting officer, within two | 4808 |
| hours of the time of the alleged violation and, if the person does | 4809 |
| not submit to the test or tests within that two-hour time limit, | 4810 |
| the failure to submit automatically constitutes a refusal to | 4811 |
| submit to the test or tests. | 4812 |
| (B)
If a person is under arrest as described in division
(A) | 4813 |
|
of
this section, before the person may be requested to submit to a | 4814 |
chemical test
or tests to determine the alcohol
and, drug of | 4815 |
| abuse, controlled substance, metabolite of a controlled substance, | 4816 |
| or combination content

| plasma, breath, or urine, the
arresting officer
shall read the | 4818 |
|
following form to the person: | 4819 |
| "You now are under arrest for (specifically state the
offense | 4820 |
|
under state law or a substantially equivalent municipal ordinance | 4821 |
|
for which the person was arrested - operating a vehicle
under
the | 4822 |
|
influence of alcohol, a drug, or a combination
of them;
operating | 4823 |
| a vehicle while under the influence of a listed controlled | 4824 |
| substance or a listed metabolite of a controlled substance; | 4825 |
| operating
a vehicle after
underage alcohol consumption; or having | 4826 |
|
physical
control of a vehicle while under the influence). | 4827 |
| If you refuse to take any chemical test required
by law, your | 4828 |
|
Ohio driving privileges will be suspended immediately, and you | 4829 |
|
will have to pay a fee to have the privileges reinstated. If you | 4830 |
have a prior OVI or OVUAC conviction of OVI, OVUAC, or operating a | 4831 |
| vehicle while under the influence of a listed controlled substance | 4832 |
| or a listed metabolite of a controlled substance under state or | 4833 |
| municipal law within the preceding twenty years, you now are under | 4834 |
| arrest for state OVI, and, if you refuse to take a chemical test, | 4835 |
| you will face increased penalties if you subsequently are | 4836 |
| convicted of the state OVI. | 4837 |
| (Read this part unless the person is under arrest for solely | 4838 |
|
having physical control of a
vehicle while under the influence.) | 4839 |
|
If you take any chemical test required by law and
are
found to be | 4840 |
|
at or
over the
prohibited amount of alcohol, a controlled | 4841 |
| substance, or a metabolite of a controlled substance in
your
whole | 4842 |
| blood,
blood serum or plasma, breath,
or urine as set by law, your | 4843 |
| Ohio driving privileges will
be
suspended immediately, and you | 4844 |
| will have to pay a fee to have
the
privileges reinstated. | 4845 |
| (C) If the arresting law enforcement officer does not ask a | 4848 |
|
person under arrest as described in division (A) of this
section | 4849 |
|
to submit to a chemical
test or tests under section 4511.191 of | 4850 |
|
the Revised Code,
the arresting officer shall seize the Ohio or | 4851 |
|
out-of-state
driver's or commercial driver's license or permit of | 4852 |
|
the person
and immediately forward it to the court in which the | 4853 |
|
arrested person is to appear on the charge. If the arrested
person | 4854 |
| is not in
possession of
the person's license or permit or
it is | 4855 |
| not in the
person's vehicle, the officer shall order the
person to | 4856 |
| surrender it
to the law enforcement agency that employs
the | 4857 |
| officer within
twenty-four hours after the arrest, and, upon
the | 4858 |
| surrender, the
agency immediately shall forward the license or | 4859 |
|
permit to the
court in which the person is to appear on the | 4860 |
|
charge. Upon
receipt of the license or permit, the court shall | 4861 |

| (D)(1) If a law enforcement officer asks a person under | 4864 |
|
arrest as
described in division (A) of this
section to submit to a | 4865 |
|
chemical
test or tests under section 4511.191 of the Revised Code, | 4866 |
|
if the officer advises the person in accordance with this section | 4867 |
|
of the
consequences of the person's refusal or submission,
and if | 4868 |
|
either the person refuses to submit to the test or tests or, | 4869 |
|
unless the

Revised Code or a substantially equivalent municipal ordinance, | 4871 |
