by a court to be a mentally ill person subject to hospitalization	438
by court order, and is not an involuntary patient other than one	439
who is a patient only for purposes of observation. As used in this	440
division, "mentally ill person subject to hospitalization by court	441
order" and "patient" have the same meanings as in section 5122.01	442
of the Revised Code.	443

(j) The applicant is not currently subject to a civil	444
protection order, a temporary protection order, or a protection	445
order issued by a court of another state.	446

(k) The applicant certifies that the applicant desires a	447
legal means to carry a concealed handgun for defense of the	448
applicant or a member of the applicant's family while engaged in	449
lawful activity.	450

imposed under division (A)(2) of section 2923.128 of the Revised	458
Code of a license to carry a concealed handgun, or a temporary	459
emergency license to carry a concealed handgun, that previously	460
was issued to the applicant under this section or section	461
2923.1213 of the Revised Code.	462

(2)(a) A license to carry a concealed handgun that a sheriff	463
issues under division (D)(1) of this section on or after March 14,	464

division (D)(1) of this section prior to March 14, 2007, shall	467
expire four years after the date of issuance.	468

If a sheriff issues a license under this section, the sheriff	469

numbers identifying the license in accordance with the procedure	471
prescribed by the Ohio peace officer training commission pursuant	472
to section 109.731 of the Revised Code.	473

(b) If a sheriff denies an application under this section	474
because the applicant does not satisfy the criteria described in	475
division (D)(1) of this section, the sheriff shall specify the	476
grounds for the denial in a written notice to the applicant. The	477
applicant may appeal the denial pursuant to section 119.12 of the	478
Revised Code in the county served by the sheriff who denied the	479
application. If the denial was as a result of the criminal records	480

if, pursuant to section 2923.127 of the Revised Code, the	482
applicant challenges the criminal records check results using the	483

of the Revised Code and this division is tolled during the	486
pendency of the request or the challenge and review. If the court	487
in an appeal under section 119.12 of the Revised Code and this	488
division enters a judgment sustaining the sheriff's refusal to	489
grant to the applicant a license to carry a concealed handgun, the	490
applicant may file a new application beginning one year after the	491
judgment is entered. If the court enters a judgment in favor of	492
the applicant, that judgment shall not restrict the authority of a	493
sheriff to suspend or revoke the license pursuant to section	494
2923.128 or 2923.1213 of the Revised Code or to refuse to renew	495
the license for any proper cause that may occur after the date the	496

carry a concealed handgun was filed under this section becomes	500
aware that the applicant has been arrested for or otherwise	501
charged with an offense that would disqualify the applicant from	502
holding the license, the sheriff shall suspend the processing of	503
the application until the disposition of the case arising from the	504
arrest or charge.	505

(4) If the sheriff determines that the applicant is legally	506
living in the United States and is a resident of the county in	507
which the applicant seeks the license or of an adjacent county but	508
does not yet meet the residency requirements described in division	509
(D)(1)(a) of this section, the sheriff shall not deny the license	510
because of the residency requirements but shall not issue the	511
license until the applicant meets those residency requirements.	512

(5) If an applicant has been convicted of or pleaded guilty	513
to an offense identified in division (D)(1)(e), (f), or (h) of	514
this section or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for	515
committing an act or violation identified in any of those	516
divisions, and if a court has ordered the sealing or expungement	517
of the records of that conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication	518
pursuant to sections 2151.355 to 2151.358 or sections 2953.31 to	519
2953.36 of the Revised Code or a court has granted the applicant	520
relief pursuant to section 2923.14 of the Revised Code from the	521
disability imposed pursuant to section 2923.13 of the Revised Code	522
relative to that conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication, the	523
sheriff with whom the application was submitted shall not consider	524
the conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication in making a	525
determination under division (D)(1) or (F) of this section or, in	526
relation to an application for a temporary emergency license to	527
carry a concealed handgun submitted under section 2923.1213 of the	528
Revised Code, in making a determination under division (B)(2) of	529
that section.	530

(E) If a license to carry a concealed handgun issued under	531
this section is lost or is destroyed, the licensee may obtain from	532
the sheriff who issued that license a duplicate license upon the	533
payment of a fee of fifteen dollars and the submission of an	534
affidavit attesting to the loss or destruction of the license. The	535
sheriff, in accordance with the procedures prescribed in section	536
109.731 of the Revised Code, shall place on the replacement	537
license a combination of identifying numbers different from the	538
combination on the license that is being replaced.	539

(F)(1) A licensee who wishes to renew a license to carry a	540
concealed handgun issued under this section shall do so not	541
earlier than ninety days before the expiration date of the license	542
or at any time after the expiration date of the license by	543
filing with the sheriff of the county in which the applicant	544
resides or with the sheriff of an adjacent county an application	545
for renewal of the license obtained pursuant to division (D) of	546
this section, a certification by the applicant that, subsequent	547
to the issuance of the license, the applicant has reread the	548
pamphlet prepared by the Ohio peace officer training commission	549
pursuant to section 109.731 of the Revised Code that reviews	550
firearms, dispute resolution, and use of deadly force matters, a	551
nonrefundable license renewal fee unless the fee is waived, and	552
one of the following:	553

(a) If the licensee previously has not renewed a license to	554
carry a concealed handgun issued under this section, proof that	555
the licensee at one time had a competency certification of the	556
type described in division (B)(3) of this section. A valid	557
license or any other previously issued license that has not been	558
revoked is prima-facie evidence that the licensee at one time	559
had a competency certification of the type described in division	560
(B)(3) of this section.	561

(2) A sheriff shall accept a completed renewal application,	566
the license renewal fee, and information specified in division	567
(F)(1) of this section at the times and in the manners described	568

reread the specified pamphlet prepared by the Ohio peace	571
officer training commission, of proof of a prior competency	572
certification for an initial renewal or of a renewed competency	573
certification for a second or subsequent renewal, and of a	574
license renewal fee unless the fee is waived, a sheriff, in the	575
manner specified in section 311.41 of the Revised Code shall	576
conduct or cause to be conducted the criminal records check and	577
the incompetency records check described in section 311.41 of	578
the Revised Code. The sheriff shall renew the license if the	579
sheriff determines that the applicant continues to satisfy the	580
requirements described in division (D)(1) of this section, except	581
that the applicant is not required to meet the requirements of	582
division (D)(1)(l) of this section. A renewed license that is	583
renewed on or after March 14, 2007, shall expire five years	584
after the date of issuance, and a renewed license that is	585
renewed prior to March 14, 2007, shall expire four years after	586
the date of issuance. A renewed license is subject to division	587
(E) of this section and sections 2923.126 and 2923.128 of the	588
Revised Code. A sheriff shall comply with divisions (D)(2) to	589
(4) of this section when the circumstances described in those	590
divisions apply to a requested license renewal. If a sheriff	591
denies the renewal of a license to carry a concealed handgun,	592
the applicant may appeal the denial, or challenge the criminal	593
record check results that were the basis of the denial if	594
applicable, in the same manner as specified in division	595
(D)(2)(b) of this section and in section 2923.127 of the Revised	596
Code, regarding the denial of a license under this section.	597

obtain a renewed competency certification from an entity that	644
offers a course, class, or program described in division	645

person is not eligible to possess a firearm under either the laws	864
of this state or of the United States or that the person committed	865
perjury in obtaining the license; if the sheriff revokes a license	866
under this additional authority, the sheriff shall notify the	867
person, by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the	868

to be used under division (B) of this section by a person who	893
applies for a temporary emergency license to carry a concealed	894
handgun on the basis of imminent danger of a type described in	895
division (A)(1)(a) of this section.	896

shall purchase or attempt to purchase a firearm.	912

(B) No person under twenty-one years of age shall purchase or	913
attempt to purchase a handgun, provided that this division does	914
not apply to the purchase or attempted purchase of a handgun by a	915
person eighteen years of age or older and under twenty-one years	916
of age if theeither of the following apply:	917

(1) The person eighteen years of age or older and under	918

Sec. 3333.31.  (A) For state subsidy and tuition surcharge	936
purposes, status as a resident of Ohio shall be defined by the	937
chancellor of the Ohio board of regents by rule promulgated	938
pursuant to Chapter 119. of the Revised Code. No adjudication as	939
to the status of any person under such rule, however, shall be	940
required to be made pursuant to Chapter 119. of the Revised Code.	941
The term "resident" for these purposes shall not be equated with	942
the definition of that term as it is employed elsewhere under the	943
laws of this state and other states, and shall not carry with it	944
any of the legal connotations appurtenant thereto. Rather, except	945
as provided in division (B) of this section, for such purposes,	946
the rule promulgated under this section shall have the objective	947
of excluding from treatment as residents those who are present	948
in the state primarily for the purpose of attending a	949
state-supported or state-assisted institution of higher education,	950
and may prescribe presumptive rules, rebuttable or conclusive, as	951
to such purpose based upon the source or sources of support of the	952
student, residence prior to first enrollment, evidence of	953
intention to remain in the state after completion of studies, or	954
such other factors as the chancellor deems relevant.	955

(B) The rules of the chancellor for determining student	956
residency shall grant residency status to a veteran and to the	957
veteran's spouse and any dependent of the veteran, if both of the	958
following conditions are met:	959

(1) The veteran either:

960

(a) Served one or more years on active military duty and was	961
honorably discharged or received a medical discharge that was	962
related to the military service;	963

(b) Was killed while serving on active military duty or has	964
been declared to be missing in action or a prisoner of war.	965

(2) If the veteran seeks residency status for tuition	966
surcharge purposes, the veteran has established domicile in this	967
state as of the first day of a term of enrollment in an	968
institution of higher education. If the spouse or a dependent of	969
the veteran seeks residency status for tuition surcharge purposes,	970
the veteran and the spouse or dependent seeking residency status	971
have established domicile in this state as of the first day of a	972
term of enrollment in an institution of higher education, except	973
that if the veteran was killed while serving on active military	974
duty or has been declared to be missing in action or a prisoner of	975
war, only the spouse or dependent seeking residency status shall	976
be required to have established domicile in accordance with this	977
division.	978

(C) The rules of the chancellor for determining student	979
residency shall not deny residency status to a student who is	980
either a dependent child of a parent, or the spouse of a person	981
who, as of the first day of a term of enrollment in an institution	982
of higher education, has accepted full-time employment and	983
established domicile in this state for reasons other than gaining	984
the benefit of favorable tuition rates.	985

Documentation of full-time employment and domicile shall	986
include both of the following documents:	987

(1) A sworn statement from the employer or the employer's	988
representative on the letterhead of the employer or the employer's	989
representative certifying that the parent or spouse of the student	990
is employed full-time in Ohio;	991

(2) A copy of the lease under which the parent or spouse is	992
the lessee and occupant of rented residential property in the	993
state, a copy of the closing statement on residential real	994
property of which the parent or spouse is the owner and occupant	995
in this state or, if the parent or spouse is not the lessee or	996
owner of the residence in which the parent or spouse has	997
established domicile, a letter from the owner of the residence	998
certifying that the parent or spouse resides at that residence.	999

Residency officers may also evaluate, in accordance with the	1000
chancellor's rule, requests for immediate residency status from	1001
dependent students whose parents are not living and whose domicile	1002
follows that of a legal guardian who has accepted full-time	1003
employment and established domicile in the state for reasons other	1004
than gaining the benefit of favorable tuition rates.	1005

(C)(D) "Dependent," "domicile," "institution of higher	1006
education," and "residency officer" have the meanings ascribed in	1007
the chancellor's rules adopted under this section.	1008

mutilation to the registrar or a deputy registrar;	1445

(2) Filing an application and presenting documentary evidence	1446

the registrar or a deputy registrar.	1450

A cardholder may obtain a replacement identification card	1451
that reflects any change of the cardholder's name by furnishing	1452
suitable proof of the change to the registrar or a deputy	1453
registrar and surrendering the cardholder's existing card.	1454

When a cardholder applies for a duplicate or obtains a	1455
