taken a concentration of less than the applicable concentration of174
alcohol specified for a violation of division (A)(2), (3), (4), or175
(5) of this section or less than the applicable concentration of a 176
listed controlled substance or a listed metabolite of a controlled 177
substance specified for a violation of division (A)(6) of this 178
section, that fact may be considered with other competent evidence179
in determining the guilt or innocence of the defendant or in 180
making an adjudication for the child. This division does not limit 181
or affect a criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding for 182
a violation of division (B) of this section or for a violation of 183

or a qualified technician, chemist, or phlebotomist of the190
person's own choosing administer a chemical test or tests in191
addition to any administered at the direction of a law enforcement192
officer, and shall be so advised. The failure or inability to193
obtain an additional test by a person shall not preclude the194
admission of evidence relating to the test or tests taken at the195
direction of a law enforcement officer.196

administered a field sobriety test to the operator or person found200
to be in physical control of the vessel underway involved in the201
violation or the person manipulating the water skis, aquaplane, or202
similar device involved in the violation and if it is shown by203
clear and convincing evidence that the officer administered the204
test in substantial compliance with the testing standards for205
reliable, credible, and generally accepted field sobriety tests206
for vehicles that were in effect at the time the tests were207
administered, including, but not limited to, any testing standards208
then in effect that have been set by the national highway traffic209
safety administration, that by their nature are not clearly210
inapplicable regarding the operation or physical control of211
vessels underway or the manipulation of water skis, aquaplanes, or212
similar devices, all of the following apply:213

        (a) The officer may testify concerning the results of the214
field sobriety test so administered.215

give it whatever weight the trier of fact considers to be223
appropriate.224

        (2) Division (E)(1) of this section does not limit or225
preclude a court, in its determination of whether the arrest of a226
person was supported by probable cause or its determination of any227
other matter in a criminal prosecution or juvenile court228
proceeding of a type described in that division, from considering229
evidence or testimony that is not otherwise disallowed by division230
(E)(1) of this section.231

defendant's or child's attorney receives a copy of the report, the271
defendant or child or the defendant's or child's attorney demands272
the testimony of the person who signed the report. The judge in273

sentence or the placement of an offender in any treatment program 617
in lieu of being imprisoned or serving a jail term, no court, 618
except as specifically authorized by division (G)(1) of this 619
section, shall suspend the mandatory jail term of three 620
consecutive days required to be imposed by division (G)(1) of this 621
section or place an offender who is sentenced pursuant to division 622
(G)(1) of this section in any treatment program in lieu of 623

the violation is not related to a collision, injury to a person,645
or damage to property and a misdemeanor of the third degree if the646

is prohibited from hearing or determining a prosecution or974
criminal cause involving a violation described in division (A) of975
this section due to the operation of this division, the976
prohibition against the mayor hearing or determining the977
prosecution or cause does not affect and shall not be construed as 978
affecting the jurisdiction or authority of a mayor's court979
magistrate appointed under that section to hear and determine the980

to hear and determine the prosecution or cause in accordance with 1013
this section. In hearing and determining such prosecutions and 1014
causes, the magistrate has the same powers, duties, and authority 1015

and causes in mayor's courts. A judgment entered and a sentence1025
imposed by a mayor's court magistrate do not have to be reviewed1026
or approved by the mayor who appointed the magistrate, and have 1027

offender, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or 2455

not abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the 2461
conditions of the misdemeanor offender's community control 2462
sanction or the conditions of the felony offender's nonresidential 2463

misdemeanor, the court may require the offender, as a condition of 2487
the offender's sentence of a community control sanction, to 2488
perform supervised community service work in accordance with this2489
division. If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a2490
felony, the court, pursuant to sections 2929.15 and 2929.17 of the2491
Revised Code, may impose a sanction that requires the offender to2492
perform supervised community service work in accordance with this2493

including, but not limited to, the costs of procuring a policy or 2503
policies of liability insurance to cover the period during which 2504
the offender will perform the work.2505

misdemeanor to satisfy the payment of a fine imposed for the2507
offense pursuant to section 2929.18 or 2929.28 of the Revised Code2508
by performing supervised community service work as described in2509
this division if the offender requests an opportunity to satisfy2510
the payment by this means and if the court determines that the2511
offender is financially unable to pay the fine.2512

       The supervised community service work that may be imposed2513
under this division shall be subject to the following limitations:2514

       (1) The court shall fix the period of the work and, if2515
necessary, shall distribute it over weekends or over other2516
appropriate times that will allow the offender to continue at the2517
offender's occupation or to care for the offender's family. The2518
period of the work as fixed by the court shall not exceed in the2519
aggregate the number of hours of community service imposed by the 2520
court pursuant to section 2929.17 or 2929.27 of the Revised Code.2521

       (2) An agency, political subdivision, or charitable2522
organization must agree to accept the offender for the work before2523
the court requires the offender to perform the work for the2524
entity. A court shall not require an offender to perform2525
supervised community service work for an agency, political2526
subdivision, or charitable organization at a location that is an2527
unreasonable distance from the offender's residence or domicile,2528
unless the offender is provided with transportation to the2529
location where the work is to be performed.2530

       (3) A court may enter into an agreement with a county2531
department of job and family services for the management,2532
placement, and supervision of offenders eligible for community2533
service work in work activities, developmental activities, and2534
alternative work activities under sections 5107.40 to 5107.69 of2535
the Revised Code. If a court and a county department of job and2536
family services have entered into an agreement of that nature, the2537
clerk of that court is authorized to pay directly to the county2538
department all or a portion of the fees collected by the court2539
pursuant to this division in accordance with the terms of its2540
agreement.2541

       (4) Community service work that a court requires under this2542
division shall be supervised by an official of the agency,2543
political subdivision, or charitable organization for which the2544
work is performed or by a person designated by the agency,2545
political subdivision, or charitable organization. The official or 2546
designated person shall be qualified for the supervision by2547
education, training, or experience, and periodically shall report,2548
in writing, to the court and to the offender's probation officer2549
concerning the conduct of the offender in performing the work.2550

        (5) The total of any period of supervised community service 2551
work imposed on an offender under division (B) of this section2552
plus the period of all other sanctions imposed pursuant to2553
sections 2929.15, 2929.16, 2929.17, and 2929.18 of the Revised2554

afford the offender or the offender's counsel an opportunity to3403
present oral or written information relevant to the motion. The3404
court shall afford a similar opportunity to provide relevant3405
information to the prosecuting attorney and the victim or victim's3406
representative.3407

       Before ruling on the motion, the court shall take into3408
account the person's driving record, the nature of the offense3409

victim. In addition, if the offender is eligible for modification3411
or termination of the suspension under division (A)(2) of this3412
section, the court shall consider whether the person committed any3413
other offense while under suspension and determine whether the3414
offense is relevant to a determination under this section. The3415
court may modify or terminate the suspension subject to any3416
considerations it considers proper if it finds that allowing the3417
person to drive is not likely to present a danger to the public. 3418

section, the prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim or the3420
victim's representative of the court's ruling.3421

       (E) If a court modifies a person's license suspension under3422
this section and the person subsequently is found guilty of any3423
moving violation or of any substantially equivalent municipal3424
ordinance that carries as a possible penalty the suspension of a3425
person's driver's or commercial driver's license, the court may3426
reimpose the class one or other lifetime suspension, or the class3427
two suspension, whichever is applicable.3428

be tested, as required under section 4511.192 of the Revised Code, 3672
shall state that the person may have an independent test performed 3673
at the person's expense. The failure or inability to obtain an 3674
additional chemical test by a person shall not preclude the 3675
admission of evidence relating to the chemical test or tests taken 3676

       If you refuse to take any chemical test required by law, your4816
Ohio driving privileges will be suspended immediately, and you4817
will have to pay a fee to have the privileges reinstated. If you 4818

arrest for state OVI, and, if you refuse to take a chemical test, 4823
you will face increased penalties if you subsequently are 4824
convicted of the state OVI.4825

       (Read this part unless the person is under arrest for solely4826
having physical control of a vehicle while under the influence.)4827
If you take any chemical test required by law and are found to be4828
at or over the prohibited amount of alcohol, a controlled 4829
substance, or a metabolite of a controlled substance in your whole4830
blood, blood serum or plasma, breath, or urine as set by law, your 4831
