reasonable cause to believe that the tenant, any person in the820
tenant's household, or any person on the premises with the consent821
of the tenant previously has or presently is engaged in a822
violation of Chapter 2925. or 3719. of the Revised Code, or of a823
municipal ordinance that is substantially similar to any section824
in either of those chapters, which involves a controlled substance825

controlled substance described in the affidavit was found by that849
officer during the search and seizure; and, subsequent to the850
search and seizure, the landlord was informed by that or another851
law enforcement officer of the fact that the tenant or person has852
or presently is engaged in a violation as described in this853
division and it occurred in, is occurring in, or otherwise was or854
is connected with the tenant's premises.855

division (A)(6)(a)(i) of this section.862

upon them by a written rental agreement;875

       (10) Against manufactured home park residents who have876
defaulted in the payment of rent or breached the terms of a rental877

division precludes the commencement of an action under division 879
(A)(12) of this section when the additional circumstances880
described in that division apply.881

       (11) Against manufactured home park residents who have882
committed two material violations of the rules of the manufactured883

offenders indicates that the resident or occupant was convicted of 910
or pleaded guilty to either a sexually oriented offense that is 911
not a registration-exempt sexually oriented offense or a 912
child-victim oriented offense in a criminal prosecution and was 913
not sentenced to a serious youthful offender dispositional 914
sentence for that offense.915

       (15) Against any tenant who permits any person to occupy916

court does not have jurisdiction to hear or determine any portion 1128
of the case charging the person with committing that act. In those 1129
circumstances, divisions (A) and (B) of section 2152.12 of the1130
Revised Code do not apply regarding the act, and the case charging 1131
the person with committing the act shall be a criminal prosecution1132

older when the person committed the act. All proceedings 1135
pertaining to the act shall be within the jurisdiction of the 1136
court having jurisdiction of the offense, and that court has all 1137
the authority and duties in the case that it has in other criminal 1138
cases in that court.1139

specimens pursuant to section 109.573 of the Revised Code, be 1156

the sealing of the record or a copy of the order. Except as 1174
provided in division (D) of this section, upon the written request 1175

excluded under sections 3301.121 and 3313.662 of the Revised Code 1205
is permitted to maintain records regarding an adjudication that 1206

order to seal the record. An order issued under section 2151.356 1209
of the Revised Code to seal the record of an adjudication that an 1210

exclude the individual who is the subject of the sealing order. An 1213
order to seal the record of an adjudication that an individual is 1214
a delinquent child may be presented to a district superintendent 1215
as evidence to support the contention that the superintendent 1216
should recommend that the permanent exclusion of the individual 1217
who is the subject of the sealing order be revoked. Except as 1218
otherwise authorized by this division and sections 3301.121 and 1219
3313.662 of the Revised Code, any school employee in possession of 1220

an adult, by any law enforcement officer or any prosecutor, or the 1230
assistants of a law enforcement officer or prosecutor, for any 1231
valid law enforcement or prosecutorial purpose;1232

       (3) Upon application by the person who is the subject of the 1233
sealed records, by the person that is named in that application;1234

       (4) If the records in question pertain to an alleged 1235
violation of division (E)(1) of section 4301.69 of the Revised 1236
Code, by any law enforcement officer or any prosecutor, or the 1237
assistants of a law enforcement officer or prosecutor, for the 1238
purpose of determining whether the person is eligible for 1239
diversion under division (E)(2) of section 4301.69 of the Revised 1240
Code;1241

       (5) At the request of a party in a civil action that is based 1242
on a case the records for which are the subject of a sealing order 1243

the civil action. The party also may copy the records as needed 1245

the civil action and are otherwise confidential and subject to the 1247
provisions of this section;1248

       (6) By the attorney general or an authorized employee of the 1249

registrant, as defined in section 2950.01 of the Revised Code, for 1252
purposes of Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code.1253

       (F) No officer or employee of the state or any of its 1254
political subdivisions shall knowingly release, disseminate, or 1255
make available for any purpose involving employment, bonding, 1256
licensing, or education to any person or to any department, 1257
agency, or other instrumentality of the state or of any of its 1258
political subdivisions any information or other data concerning 1259
any arrest, taking into custody, complaint, indictment, 1260
information, trial, hearing, adjudication, or correctional 1261
supervision, the records of which have been sealed pursuant to 1262
section 2151.356 of the Revised Code and the release, 1263
dissemination, or making available of which is not expressly 1264
permitted by this section. Whoever violates this division is 1265
guilty of divulging confidential information, a misdemeanor of the 1266
fourth degree.1267

       (G) In any application for employment, license, or other 1268
right or privilege, any appearance as a witness, or any other 1269
inquiry, a person may not be questioned with respect to any arrest 1270
or taking into custody for which the records were sealed. If an 1271
inquiry is made in violation of this division, the person may 1272
respond as if the sealed arrest or taking into custody did not 1273
occur, and the person shall not be subject to any adverse action 1274
because of the arrest or taking into custody or the response.1275

       (H) The judgment rendered by the court under this chapter 1276
shall not impose any of the civil disabilities ordinarily imposed 1277
by conviction of a crime in that the child is not a criminal by 1278
reason of the adjudication, and no child shall be charged with or 1279
convicted of a crime in any court except as provided by this 1280
chapter. The disposition of a child under the judgment rendered or 1281
any evidence given in court shall not operate to disqualify a 1282
child in any future civil service examination, appointment, or 1283
application. Evidence of a judgment rendered and the disposition 1284
of a child under the judgment is not admissible to impeach the 1285
credibility of the child in any action or proceeding. Otherwise, 1286
the disposition of a child under the judgment rendered or any 1287
evidence given in court is admissible as evidence for or against 1288
the child in any action or proceeding in any court in accordance 1289
with the Rules of Evidence and also may be considered by any court 1290
as to the matter of sentence or to the granting of probation, and 1291
a court may consider the judgment rendered and the disposition of 1292
a child under that judgment for purposes of determining whether 1293
the child, for a future criminal conviction or guilty plea, is a 1294
repeat violent offender, as defined in section 2929.01 of the 1295

held;1623

       (b) A community corrections facility, if the child would be1624
covered by the definition of public safety beds for purposes of1625
sections 5139.41 to 5139.43 of the Revised Code if the court1626
exercised its authority to commit the child to the legal custody1627
of the department of youth services for institutionalization or1628
institutionalization in a secure facility pursuant to this1629
chapter.1630

       (B) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child, in addition 1631
to any order of disposition made under division (A) of this 1632
section, the court, in the following situations and for the1633
specified periods of time, shall suspend the child's temporary1634
instruction permit, restricted license, probationary driver's1635
license, or nonresident operating privilege, or suspend the1636
child's ability to obtain such a permit:1637

       (1) If the child is adjudicated a delinquent child for1638
violating section 2923.122 of the Revised Code, impose a class1639
four suspension of the child's license, permit, or privilege from1640
the range specified in division (A)(4) of section 4510.02 of the1641
Revised Code or deny the child the issuance of a license or permit1642
in accordance with division (F)(1) of section 2923.122 of the1643
Revised Code.1644

       (2) If the child is adjudicated a delinquent child for1645
committing an act that if committed by an adult would be a drug1646
abuse offense or for violating division (B) of section 2917.11 of1647
the Revised Code, suspend the child's license, permit, or1648
privilege for a period of time prescribed by the court. The court,1649
in its discretion, may terminate the suspension if the child1650
attends and satisfactorily completes a drug abuse or alcohol abuse1651
education, intervention, or treatment program specified by the1652
court. During the time the child is attending a program described 1653
in this division, the court shall retain the child's temporary 1654
instruction permit, probationary driver's license, or driver's1655
license, and the court shall return the permit or license if it 1656
terminates the suspension as described in this division.1657

       (C) The court may establish a victim-offender mediation1658
program in which victims and their offenders meet to discuss the1659
offense and suggest possible restitution. If the court obtains the1660
assent of the victim of the delinquent act committed by the child,1661
the court may require the child to participate in the program.1662

       (D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for1663
committing an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult1664
and if the child caused, attempted to cause, threatened to cause,1665
or created a risk of physical harm to the victim of the act, the1666
court, prior to issuing an order of disposition under this1667
section, shall order the preparation of a victim impact statement1668
by the probation department of the county in which the victim of1669
the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a1670
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county,1671
a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity. The court1672
shall consider the victim impact statement in determining the1673
order of disposition to issue for the child.1674

       (2) Each victim impact statement shall identify the victim of 1675
the act for which the child was adjudicated a delinquent child,1676
itemize any economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of1677
the act, identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a1678
result of the act and the seriousness and permanence of the1679
injury, identify any change in the victim's personal welfare or1680
familial relationships as a result of the act and any1681
psychological impact experienced by the victim or the victim's1682
family as a result of the act, and contain any other information1683
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the court1684
requires.1685

       (3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and1686
is not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of1687
the statement to the department of youth services if the1688
delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the1689
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's1690
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact1691
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to1692
this section shall be kept confidential and is not a public1693
record. If an officer is preparing pursuant to section 2947.06 or1694
2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 a presentence1695
investigation report pertaining to a person, the court shall make1696
available to the officer, for use in preparing the report, a copy1697
of any victim impact statement regarding that person. The copies1698
of a victim impact statement that are made available to the1699
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's1700
counsel and the prosecuting attorney pursuant to this division1701
shall be returned to the court by the person to whom they were1702
made available immediately following the imposition of an order of1703
disposition for the child under this chapter.1704

       The copy of a victim impact statement that is made available1705
pursuant to this division to an officer preparing a criminal1706
presentence investigation report shall be returned to the court by1707
the officer immediately following its use in preparing the report.1708

       (4) The department of youth services shall work with local1709
probation departments and victim assistance programs to develop a1710
standard victim impact statement.1711

       (E) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a1712
chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been1713
adjudicated an unruly child for being a habitual truant and the1714
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having1715
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at1716
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in1717
addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section,1718
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having1719
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as1720
an unruly or delinquent child for being a habitual or chronic1721
truant may result in a criminal charge against the parent,1722
guardian, or other person having care of the child for a violation1723
of division (C) of section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the1724
Revised Code.1725

       (F)(1) During the period of a delinquent child's community1726
control granted under this section, authorized probation officers1727
who are engaged within the scope of their supervisory duties or1728
responsibilities may search, with or without a warrant, the person1729
of the delinquent child, the place of residence of the delinquent1730
child, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or intangible1731
personal property, or other real property in which the delinquent1732
child has a right, title, or interest or for which the delinquent1733
child has the express or implied permission of a person with a1734
right, title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the1735
probation officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the1736
delinquent child is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not1737
complying with the conditions of the delinquent child's community1738
control. The court that places a delinquent child on community1739
control under this section shall provide the delinquent child with1740
a written notice that informs the delinquent child that authorized1741
probation officers who are engaged within the scope of their1742
supervisory duties or responsibilities may conduct those types of1743
searches during the period of community control if they have1744
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is not1745
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the1746
conditions of the delinquent child's community control. The court1747
also shall provide the written notice described in division (E)(2)1748
of this section to each parent, guardian, or custodian of the1749
delinquent child who is described in that division.1750

       (2) The court that places a child on community control under1751
this section shall provide the child's parent, guardian, or other1752
custodian with a written notice that informs them that authorized1753
probation officers may conduct searches pursuant to division1754
(E)(1) of this section. The notice shall specifically state that a 1755
permissible search might extend to a motor vehicle, another item1756
of tangible or intangible personal property, or a place of1757
residence or other real property in which a notified parent,1758
guardian, or custodian has a right, title, or interest and that1759
the parent, guardian, or custodian expressly or impliedly permits1760
the child to use, occupy, or possess.1761

       (G) If a juvenile court commits a delinquent child to the1762
custody of any person, organization, or entity pursuant to this1763
section and if the delinquent act for which the child is so1764
committed is a sexually oriented offense that is not a 1765
registration-exempt sexually oriented offense or is a child-victim 1766
oriented offense, the court in the order of disposition shall do 1767
one of the following:1768

       (1) Require that the child be provided treatment as described 1769
in division (A)(2) of section 5139.13 of the Revised Code;1770

       (2) Inform the person, organization, or entity that it is the1771
preferred course of action in this state that the child be1772
provided treatment as described in division (A)(2) of section1773
5139.13 of the Revised Code and encourage the person,1774
organization, or entity to provide that treatment.1775

       Sec. 2152.191.  If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child1776
for committing a sexually oriented offense that is not a 1777
registration-exempt sexually oriented offense or for committing a 1778
child-victim oriented offense, if the child is fourteen years of 1779
age or older at the time of committing the offense, and if the 1780
child committed the offense on or after January 1, 2002, both of 1781
the following apply:1782

       (A) Sections 2152.82 to 2152.852152.86 and Chapter 2950. of 1783
the Revised Code apply to the child and the adjudication.1784

       (B) In addition to any order of disposition it makes of the1785
child under this chapter, the court may make any determination,1786
adjudication, or order authorized under sections 2152.82 to1787
2152.852152.86 and Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code and shall 1788
make any determination, adjudication, or order required under 1789
those sections and that chapter.1790

       Sec. 2152.22.  (A) When a child is committed to the legal1791
custody of the department of youth services under this chapter,1792
the juvenile court relinquishes control with respect to the child1793
so committed, except as provided in divisions (B), (C), and (G) of1794
this section or in sections 2152.82 to 2152.852152.86 of the 1795
Revised Code. Subject to divisions (B) and (C) of this section,1796
sections 2151.353 and 2151.412 to 2151.421 of the Revised Code,1797
sections 2152.82 to 2152.852152.86 of the Revised Code, and any1798
other provision of law that specifies a different duration for a1799
dispositional order, all other dispositional orders made by the1800
court under this chapter shall be temporary and shall continue for1801
a period that is designated by the court in its order, until1802
terminated or modified by the court or until the child attains1803
twenty-one years of age.1804

       The department shall not release the child from a department1805
facility and as a result shall not discharge the child or order1806
the child's release on supervised release prior to the expiration1807
of the minimum period specified by the court in division (A)(1) of1808
section 2152.16 of the Revised Code and any term of commitment1809
imposed under section 2152.17 of the Revised Code or prior to the1810
child's attainment of twenty-one years of age, except upon the1811
order of a court pursuant to division (B) or (C) of this section1812
or in accordance with section 5139.54 of the Revised Code.1813

       (B)(1) The court that commits a delinquent child to the1814
department may grant judicial release of the child to court1815
supervision under this division during the first half of the1816
prescribed minimum term for which the child was committed to the1817
department or, if the child was committed to the department until1818
the child attains twenty-one years of age, during the first half1819
of the prescribed period of commitment that begins on the first1820
day of commitment and ends on the child's twenty-first birthday,1821
provided any commitment imposed under division (A), (B), (C), or1822
(D) of section 2152.17 of the Revised Code has ended.1823

       (2) If the department of youth services desires to release a1824
child during a period specified in division (B)(1) of this1825
section, it shall request the court that committed the child to1826
grant a judicial release of the child to court supervision. During1827
whichever of those periods is applicable, the child or the parents1828
of the child also may request that court to grant a judicial1829
release of the child to court supervision. Upon receipt of a1830
request for a judicial release to court supervision from the1831
department, the child, or the child's parent, or upon its own1832
motion, the court that committed the child shall do one of the1833
following: approve the release by journal entry; schedule within1834
thirty days after the request is received a time for a hearing on1835
whether the child is to be released; or reject the request by1836
journal entry without conducting a hearing.1837

       If the court rejects an initial request for a release under1838
this division by the child or the child's parent, the child or the1839
child's parent may make one additional request for a judicial1840
release to court supervision within the applicable period. The1841
additional request may be made no earlier than thirty days after1842
the filing of the prior request for a judicial release to court1843
supervision. Upon the filing of a second request for a judicial1844
release to court supervision, the court shall either approve or1845
disapprove the release by journal entry or schedule within thirty1846
days after the request is received a time for a hearing on whether1847
the child is to be released.1848

       (3) If a court schedules a hearing under division (B)(2) of1849
this section, it may order the department to deliver the child to1850
the court on the date set for the hearing and may order the1851
department to present to the court a report on the child's1852
progress in the institution to which the child was committed and1853
recommendations for conditions of supervision of the child by the1854
court after release. The court may conduct the hearing without the 1855
child being present. The court shall determine at the hearing1856
whether the child should be granted a judicial release to court1857
supervision.1858

       If the court approves the release, it shall order its staff1859
to prepare a written treatment and rehabilitation plan for the1860
child that may include any conditions of the child's release that1861
were recommended by the department and approved by the court. The1862
committing court shall send the juvenile court of the county in1863
which the child is placed a copy of the recommended plan. The1864
court of the county in which the child is placed may adopt the1865
recommended conditions set by the committing court as an order of1866
the court and may add any additional consistent conditions it1867
considers appropriate. If a child is granted a judicial release to 1868
court supervision, the release discharges the child from the1869
custody of the department of youth services.1870

       (C)(1) The court that commits a delinquent child to the1871
department may grant judicial release of the child to department1872
of youth services supervision under this division during the1873
second half of the prescribed minimum term for which the child was1874
committed to the department or, if the child was committed to the1875
department until the child attains twenty-one years of age, during1876
the second half of the prescribed period of commitment that begins1877
on the first day of commitment and ends on the child's1878
twenty-first birthday, provided any commitment imposed under1879
division (A), (B), (C), or (D) of section 2152.17 of the Revised1880
Code has ended.1881

       (2) If the department of youth services desires to release a1882
child during a period specified in division (C)(1) of this1883
section, it shall request the court that committed the child to1884
grant a judicial release to department of youth services1885
supervision. During whichever of those periods is applicable, the1886
child or the child's parent also may request the court that1887
committed the child to grant a judicial release to department of1888
youth services supervision. Upon receipt of a request for judicial 1889
release to department of youth services supervision, the child, or1890
the child's parent, or upon its own motion at any time during that 1891
period, the court shall do one of the following: approve the 1892
release by journal entry; schedule a time within thirty days after 1893
receipt of the request for a hearing on whether the child is to be 1894
released; or reject the request by journal entry without 1895
conducting a hearing.1896

       If the court rejects an initial request for release under1897
this division by the child or the child's parent, the child or the1898
child's parent may make one or more subsequent requests for a1899
release within the applicable period, but may make no more than1900
one request during each period of ninety days that the child is in1901
a secure department facility after the filing of a prior request1902
for early release. Upon the filing of a request for release under1903
this division subsequent to an initial request, the court shall1904
either approve or disapprove the release by journal entry or1905
schedule a time within thirty days after receipt of the request1906
for a hearing on whether the child is to be released.1907

       (3) If a court schedules a hearing under division (C)(2) of1908
this section, it may order the department to deliver the child to1909
the court on the date set for the hearing and shall order the1910
department to present to the court at that time a treatment plan1911
for the child's post-institutional care. The court may conduct the 1912
hearing without the child being present. The court shall determine 1913
at the hearing whether the child should be granted a judicial 1914
release to department of youth services supervision.1915

       If the court approves the judicial release to department of1916
youth services supervision, the department shall prepare a written1917
treatment and rehabilitation plan for the child pursuant to1918
division (E) of this section that shall include the conditions of1919
the child's release. It shall send the committing court and the1920
juvenile court of the county in which the child is placed a copy1921
of the plan. The court of the county in which the child is placed1922
may adopt the conditions set by the department as an order of the1923
court and may add any additional consistent conditions it1924
considers appropriate, provided that the court may not add any1925
condition that decreases the level or degree of supervision1926
specified by the department in its plan, that substantially1927
increases the financial burden of supervision that will be1928
experienced by the department, or that alters the placement1929
specified by the department in its plan. If the court of the1930
county in which the child is placed adds to the department's plan1931
any additional conditions, it shall enter those additional1932
conditions in its journal and shall send to the department a copy1933
of the journal entry of the additional conditions.1934

       If the court approves the judicial release to department of1935
youth services supervision, the actual date on which the1936
department shall release the child is contingent upon the1937
department finding a suitable placement for the child. If the1938
child is to be returned to the child's home, the department shall1939
return the child on the date that the court schedules for the1940
child's release or shall bear the expense of any additional time1941
that the child remains in a department facility. If the child is1942
unable to return to the child's home, the department shall1943
exercise reasonable diligence in finding a suitable placement for1944
the child, and the child shall remain in a department facility1945
while the department finds the suitable placement.1946

       (D) If a child is released under division (B) or (C) of this1947
section and the court of the county in which the child is placed1948
has reason to believe that the child's deportment is not in1949
accordance with the conditions of the child's judicial release,1950
the court of the county in which the child is placed shall1951
schedule a time for a hearing to determine whether the child1952
violated any of the post-release conditions, and, if the child was1953
released under division (C) of this section, divisions (A) to (E)1954
of section 5139.52 of the Revised Code apply regarding the child.1955

       If that court determines at the hearing that the child1956
violated any of the post-release conditions, the court, if it1957
determines that the violation was a serious violation, may order1958
the child to be returned to the department for1959
institutionalization, consistent with the original order of1960
commitment of the child, or in any case may make any other1961
disposition of the child authorized by law that the court1962
considers proper. If the court of the county in which the child is 1963
placed orders the child to be returned to a department of youth1964
services institution, the time during which the child was held in1965
a secure department facility prior to the child's judicial release1966
shall be considered as time served in fulfilling the prescribed1967
period of institutionalization that is applicable to the child1968
under the child's original order of commitment. If the court1969
orders the child returned to a department institution, the child1970
shall remain in institutional care for a minimum of three months1971
or until the child successfully completes a revocation program of1972
a duration of not less than thirty days operated either by the1973
department or by an entity with which the department has1974
contracted to provide a revocation program.1975

       (E) The department of youth services, prior to the release of 1976
a child pursuant to division (C) of this section, shall do all of1977
the following:1978

       (1) After reviewing the child's rehabilitative progress1979
history and medical and educational records, prepare a written1980
treatment and rehabilitation plan for the child that includes1981
conditions of the release;1982

       (2) Completely discuss the conditions of the plan prepared1983
pursuant to division (E)(1) of this section and the possible1984
penalties for violation of the plan with the child and the child's1985
parents, guardian, or legal custodian;1986

       (3) Have the plan prepared pursuant to division (E)(1) of1987
this section signed by the child, the child's parents, legal1988
guardian, or custodian, and any authority or person that is to1989
supervise, control, and provide supportive assistance to the child1990
at the time of the child's release pursuant to division (C) of1991
this section;1992

       (4) Prior to the child's release, file a copy of the1993
treatment plan prepared pursuant to division (E)(1) of this1994
section with the committing court and the juvenile court of the1995
county in which the child is to be placed.1996

       (F) The department of youth services shall file a written1997
progress report with the committing court regarding each child1998
released pursuant to division (C) of this section at least once1999
every thirty days unless specifically directed otherwise by the2000
court. The report shall indicate the treatment and rehabilitative2001
progress of the child and the child's family, if applicable, and2002
shall include any suggestions for altering the program, custody,2003
living arrangements, or treatment. The department shall retain2004
legal custody of a child so released until it discharges the child2005
or until the custody is terminated as otherwise provided by law.2006

       (G) When a child is committed to the legal custody of the2007
department of youth services, the court retains jurisdiction to2008
perform the functions specified in section 5139.51 of the Revised2009
Code with respect to the granting of supervised release by the2010
release authority and to perform the functions specified in2011
section 5139.52 of the Revised Code with respect to violations of2012
the conditions of supervised release granted by the release2013
authority and to the revocation of supervised release granted by2014
the release authority.2015

       Sec. 2152.821.        Sec. 2152.811. (A) As used in this section:2016

       (1) "Mentally retarded person" and "developmentally disabled 2017
person" have the same meanings as in section 5123.01 of the 2018

developmentally disabled victim who is to be examined and shall 2048
indicate whether a request that the deposition be videotaped has 2049
been made. The child who is charged with the violation or act 2050
shall have the right to attend the deposition and the right to be 2051
represented by counsel. Depositions shall be taken in the manner 2052
provided in civil cases, except that the judge in the proceeding 2053
shall preside at the taking of the deposition and shall rule at 2054
that time on any objections of the prosecution or the attorney for 2055
the child charged with the violation or act. The prosecution and 2056
the attorney for the child charged with the violation or act shall 2057
have the right, as at an adjudication hearing, to full examination 2058
and cross-examination of the mentally retarded or developmentally 2059

juvenile court in which the action is pending and is admissible in 2063
the manner described in division (C) of this section. If a 2064

victim taken under this division is admitted as evidence at the 2066
proceeding under division (C) of this section, the mentally 2067

attorney for the child charged with the violation or act may file 2071
a motion with the judge requesting that another deposition of the 2072
mentally retarded or developmentally disabled victim be taken 2073
because new evidence material to the defense of the child charged 2074
has been discovered that the attorney for the child charged could 2075
not with reasonable diligence have discovered prior to the taking 2076
of the admitted deposition. Any motion requesting another 2077
deposition shall be accompanied by supporting affidavits. Upon the 2078
filing of the motion and affidavits, the court may order that 2079
additional testimony of the mentally retarded or developmentally 2080
disabled victim relative to the new evidence be taken by another 2081
deposition. If the court orders the taking of another deposition 2082
under this provision, the deposition shall be taken in accordance 2083
with this division. If the admitted deposition was a videotaped 2084
deposition taken in accordance with division (B)(2) of this 2085
section, the new deposition also shall be videotaped in accordance 2086
with that division. In other cases, the new deposition may be 2087
videotaped in accordance with that division.2088

developmentally disabled victim giving the deposition, and any 2100
person whose presence the judge determines would contribute to the 2101
welfare and well-being of the mentally retarded or developmentally 2102
disabled victim giving the deposition. The person chosen by the 2103
mentally retarded or developmentally disabled victim shall not be 2104
a witness in the proceeding and, both before and during the 2105
deposition, shall not discuss the testimony of the victim with any 2106
other witness in the proceeding. To the extent feasible, any 2107
person operating the recording equipment shall be restricted to a 2108
room adjacent to the room in which the deposition is being taken, 2109
or to a location in the room in which the deposition is being 2110
taken that is behind a screen or mirror so that the person 2111
operating the recording equipment can see and hear, but cannot be 2112
seen or heard by, the mentally retarded or developmentally 2113
disabled victim giving the deposition during the deposition.2114

immediate communication with the attorney of the child who is 2119
charged with the violation or act during the testimony, and shall 2120

retarded or developmentally disabled victim giving the deposition 2125
shall be provided with a monitor on which the mentally retarded or 2126
developmentally disabled victim can observe, while giving 2127

person in the room in which the deposition is to be taken and with 2133
an electronic means of communication with each person in that 2134
room, and each person in the room shall be provided with a monitor 2135
on which that person can see the judge and with an electronic 2136
means of communication with the judge. A deposition that is 2137

the judge in the proceeding.2155

       (c) Each voice on the recording that is material to the 2156
testimony on the recording or the making of the recording, as 2157
determined by the judge, is identified.2158

was taken under division (B) of this section, the deposition or a 2163
part of it is admissible in evidence upon motion of the 2164
prosecution if the testimony in the deposition or the part to be 2165
admitted is not excluded by the hearsay rule and if the deposition 2166

believe that, if the mentally retarded or developmentally disabled 2181
victim who gave the testimony in the deposition were to testify in 2182
person at the proceeding, the mentally retarded or developmentally 2183
disabled victim would experience serious emotional trauma as a 2184
result of the mentally retarded or developmentally disabled 2185
victim's participation at the proceeding.2186

       (2) Objections to receiving in evidence a deposition or a 2187
part of it under division (C) of this section shall be made as 2188

       (2) Upon a child's release, on or after January 1, 2008, from 3238

juvenile court imposed on the child a serious youthful offender 3246
dispositional sentence under section 2152.13 of the Revised Code 3247

       (B)(1) If an order is issued under division (A)(1), (2), or 3275
(3) of this section, the classification of tier III sex 3276
offender/child-victim offender automatically applies to the 3277
delinquent child based on the sexually oriented offense the child 3278
committed, subject to a possible reclassification pursuant to 3279
division (D) of this section for a child whose delinquent act was 3280
committed prior to January 1, 2008. If an order is issued under 3281
division (A)(2) of this section regarding a child whose delinquent 3282
act described in division (A)(1)(a) or (b) of this section was 3283
committed prior to January 1, 2008, or if an order is issued under 3284
division (A)(3) of this section regarding a delinquent child, the 3285
order shall inform the child and the child's parent, guardian, or 3286
custodian, that the child has a right to a hearing as described in 3287

parent, guardian, or custodian of the procedures for requesting 3289

(A) and (B) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code and shall 3298
provide as part of that notice a copy of the order required under 3299
division (A)(1), (2), or (3) of this section. The judge shall 3300
include the order in the delinquent child's dispositional order 3301
and shall specify in the dispositional order that the order issued 3302
under division (A)(1), (2), or (3) of this section was made 3303
pursuant to this section.3304

       (C) An order issued under division (A)(1), (2), or (3) of 3305
this section shall remain in effect for the period of time 3306
specified in section 2950.07 of the Revised Code as it exists on 3307

division (A)(1), (2), or (3) of this section, the child's 3313
attainment of eighteen or twenty-one years of age does not affect 3314
or terminate the order, and the order remains in effect for the 3315
period of time described in this division. If an order is issued 3316
under division (A)(3) of this section, the duty to comply with 3317
sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised 3318
Code based upon that order shall be considered, for purposes of 3319
section 2950.07 of the Revised Code and for all other purposes, to 3320
be a continuation of the duty to comply with those sections 3321
imposed upon the child prior to January 1, 2008, under the order 3322
issued under section 2152.82, 2152.83, 2152.84, or 2152.85 and 3323
Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code.3324

       (D)(1) If an order is issued under division (A)(2) of this 3325
section regarding a delinquent child whose delinquent act 3326
described in division (A)(1)(a) or (b) of this section was 3327
committed prior to January 1, 2008, or if an order is issued under 3328
division (A)(3) of this section regarding a delinquent child, 3329
except as otherwise provided in this division, the child may 3330
request as a matter of right a court hearing to contest the 3331
court's classification in the order of the child as a public 3332
registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant. To request the 3333
hearing, not later than the date that is sixty days after the 3334
delinquent child is provided with the copy of the order, the 3335
delinquent child shall file a petition with the juvenile court 3336
that issued the order.3337

       If the delinquent child requests a hearing by timely filing a 3338
petition with the juvenile court, the delinquent child shall serve 3339
a copy of the petition on the prosecutor who handled the case in 3340
which the delinquent child was adjudicated a delinquent child for 3341
committing the sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented 3342
offense that resulted in the delinquent child's registration duty 3343
under section 2950.04 or 2950.041 of the Revised Code. The 3344
prosecutor shall represent the interest of the state in the 3345
hearing. In any hearing under this division, the Rules of Juvenile 3346
Procedure apply except to the extent that those Rules would by 3347
their nature be clearly inapplicable. The court shall schedule a 3348
hearing and shall provide notice to the delinquent child and the 3349
delinquent child's parent, guardian, or custodian and to the 3350
prosecutor of the date, time, and place of the hearing.3351

       If the delinquent child requests a hearing in accordance with 3352
this division, until the court issues its decision at or 3353
subsequent to the hearing, the delinquent child shall comply with 3354
Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it exists on and after 3355
January 1, 2008. If a delinquent child requests a hearing in 3356
accordance with this division, at the hearing, all parties are 3357
entitled to be heard, and the court shall consider all relevant 3358
information and testimony presented relative to the issue of 3359
whether the child should be classified a public registry-qualified 3360
juvenile offender registrant. Notwithstanding the court's 3361
classification of the delinquent child as a public 3362
registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant, the court may 3363
terminate that classification if it determines by clear and 3364
convincing evidence that the classification is in error.3365

       If the court decides to terminate the court's classification 3366
of the delinquent child as a public registry-qualified juvenile 3367
offender registrant, the court shall issue an order that specifies 3368
that it has determined that the child is not a public 3369
registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant and that it has 3370
terminated the court's classification of the delinquent child as a 3371
public registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant. The court 3372
promptly shall serve a copy of the order upon the sheriff with 3373
whom the delinquent child most recently registered under section 3374
2950.04 or 2950.041 of the Revised Code and upon the bureau of 3375
criminal identification and investigation. The delinquent child 3376
and the prosecutor have the right to appeal the decision of the 3377
court issued under this division.3378

       If the delinquent child fails to request a hearing in 3379
accordance with this division within the applicable sixty-day 3380
period specified in this division, the failure constitutes a 3381
waiver by the delinquent child of the delinquent child's right to 3382
a hearing under this division, and the delinquent child is bound 3383
by the court's classification of the delinquent child as a public 3384
registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant.3385

       (2) An order issued under division (D)(1) of this section is 3386
independent of any order of a type described in division (F) of 3387
section 2950.031 of the Revised Code or division (E) of section 3388
2950.032 of the Revised Code, and the court may issue an order 3389
under both division (D)(1) of this section and an order of a type 3390
described in division (F) of section 2950.031 of the Revised Code 3391
or division (E) of section 2950.032 of the Revised Code. A court 3392
that conducts a hearing under division (D)(1) of this section may 3393
consolidate that hearing with a hearing conducted for the same 3394
delinquent child under division (F) of section 2950.031 of the 3395
Revised Code or division (E) of section 2950.032 of the Revised 3396
Code.3397

not imposed of a sentence of life imprisonment without parole or a 5274
sentence of an indefinite term consisting of a minimum term of 5275
thirty years and a maximum term of life imprisonment to be imposed 5276
pursuant to division (A) or (B)(3) of section 2971.03 of the 5277
Revised Code and served pursuant to that section, the court shall 5278
impose the sentence so required. In all other cases, the sentences 5279
of life imprisonment that are available at the hearing, and from 5280
which the court shall impose sentence, shall be the same sentences 5281
of life imprisonment that were available under division (D) of 5282
section 2929.03 or under section 2909.24 of the Revised Code at 5283
the time the offender committed the offense for which the sentence 5284
of death was imposed. Nothing in this division regarding the 5285
resentencing of an offender shall affect the operation of section5286
2971.03 of the Revised Code.5287

       (B) Whenever any court of this state or any federal court 5288
sets aside, nullifies, or vacates a sentence of death imposed upon 5289
an offender because of error that occurred in the sentencing phase 5290
of the trial and if division (A) of this section does not apply, 5291
the trial court that sentenced the offender shall conduct a new5292
hearing to resentence the offender. If the offender was tried by a 5293
jury, the trial court shall impanel a new jury for the hearing. If 5294
the offender was tried by a panel of three judges, that panel or, 5295
if necessary, a new panel of three judges shall conduct the 5296
hearing. At the hearing, the court or panel shall follow the 5297
procedure set forth in division (D) of section 2929.03 of the5298
Revised Code in determining whether to impose upon the offender a 5299
sentence of death or, a sentence of life imprisonment, or an 5300
indefinite term consisting of a minimum term of thirty years and a 5301
maximum term of life imprisonment. If, pursuant to that procedure, 5302
the court or panel determines that it will impose a sentence of 5303
life imprisonmentother than a sentence of death, the court or 5304
panel shall impose upon the offender one of the sentences of life 5305
imprisonment that could have been imposed at the time the offender 5306
committed the offense for which the sentence of death was imposed, 5307
determined as specified in this division, or an indefinite term 5308
consisting of a minimum term of thirty years and a maximum term of 5309
life imprisonment that is determined as specified in this 5310
division. If division (D) of section 2929.03 of the Revised Code, 5311
at the time the offender committed the aggravated murder for which 5312
the sentence of death was imposed, required the imposition when a 5313
sentence of death was not imposed of a sentence of life 5314
imprisonment without parole or a sentence of an indefinite term 5315
consisting of a minimum term of thirty years and a maximum term of 5316
life imprisonment to be imposed pursuant to division (A) or (B)(3) 5317
of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code and served pursuant to that 5318
section, the court or panel shall impose the sentence so required. 5319
In all other cases, the sentences of life imprisonment that are 5320
available at the hearing, and from which the court or panel shall 5321
impose sentence, shall be the same sentences of life imprisonment 5322
that were available under division (D) of section 2929.03 or under 5323
section 2909.24 of the Revised Code at the time the offender 5324
committed the offense for which the sentence of death was imposed.5325

       (C) If a sentence of life imprisonment without parole imposed 5326
upon an offender pursuant to section 2929.021 or 2929.03 of the5327
Revised Code is set aside, nullified, or vacated for the sole 5328
reason that the statutory procedure for imposing the sentence of5329
life imprisonment without parole that is set forth in sections 5330
2929.03 and 2929.04 of the Revised Code is unconstitutional, the 5331
trial court that sentenced the offender shall conduct a hearing to 5332
resentence the offender to life imprisonment with parole 5333
eligibility after serving twenty-five full years of imprisonment 5334
or to life imprisonment with parole eligibility after serving5335
thirty full years of imprisonment.5336

       (D) Nothing in this section limits or restricts the rights of 5337
the state to appeal any order setting aside, nullifying, or 5338
vacating a conviction or sentence of death, when an appeal of that 5339
nature otherwise would be available.5340

       (E) This section, as amended by H.B. 184 of the 125th General 5341
Assemblygeneral assembly, shall apply to all offenders who have 5342
been sentenced to death for an aggravated murder that was 5343
committed on or after October 19, 1981, or for terrorism that was 5344
committed on or after May 15, 2002. This section, as amended by 5345
H.B. 184 of the 125th general assembly, shall apply equally to all 5346
such offenders sentenced to death prior to, on, or after the 5347
effective date of that actMarch 23, 2005, including offenders 5348
who, on the effective date of that actMarch 23, 2005, are 5349
challenging their sentence of death and offenders whose sentence 5350
of death has been set aside, nullified, or vacated by any court of 5351
this state or any federal court but who, as of the effective date 5352
of that actMarch 23, 2005, have not yet been resentenced.5353

       Sec. 2929.13.  (A) Except as provided in division (E), (F),5354
or (G) of this section and unless a specific sanction is required5355
to be imposed or is precluded from being imposed pursuant to law,5356
a court that imposes a sentence upon an offender for a felony may5357
impose any sanction or combination of sanctions on the offender5358
that are provided in sections 2929.14 to 2929.18 of the Revised5359
Code. The sentence shall not impose an unnecessary burden on state 5360
or local government resources.5361

       If the offender is eligible to be sentenced to community5362
control sanctions, the court shall consider the appropriateness of5363
imposing a financial sanction pursuant to section 2929.18 of the5364
Revised Code or a sanction of community service pursuant to5365
section 2929.17 of the Revised Code as the sole sanction for the5366
offense. Except as otherwise provided in this division, if the5367
court is required to impose a mandatory prison term for the5368
offense for which sentence is being imposed, the court also may5369
impose a financial sanction pursuant to section 2929.18 of the5370
Revised Code but may not impose any additional sanction or5371
combination of sanctions under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the5372
Revised Code.5373

       If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony5374
OVI offense or for a third degree felony OVI offense, in addition5375
to the mandatory term of local incarceration or the mandatory5376
prison term required for the offense by division (G)(1) or (2) of5377
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory5378
fine in accordance with division (B)(3) of section 2929.18 of the5379
Revised Code and may impose whichever of the following is5380
applicable:5381

       (1) For a fourth degree felony OVI offense for which sentence 5382
is imposed under division (G)(1) of this section, an additional5383
community control sanction or combination of community control 5384
sanctions under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised Code. If 5385
the court imposes upon the offender a community control sanction 5386
and the offender violates any condition of the community control 5387
sanction, the court may take any action prescribed in division (B) 5388
of section 2929.15 of the Revised Code relative to the offender, 5389
including imposing a prison term on the offender pursuant to that 5390
division.5391

       (2) For a third or fourth degree felony OVI offense for which5392
sentence is imposed under division (G)(2) of this section, an 5393
additional prison term as described in division (D)(4) of section 5394
2929.14 of the Revised Code or a community control sanction as 5395
described in division (G)(2) of this section.5396

       (B)(1) Except as provided in division (B)(2), (E), (F), or5397
(G) of this section, in sentencing an offender for a felony of the5398
fourth or fifth degree, the sentencing court shall determine5399
whether any of the following apply:5400

       (a) In committing the offense, the offender caused physical5401
harm to a person.5402

       (b) In committing the offense, the offender attempted to5403
cause or made an actual threat of physical harm to a person with a5404
deadly weapon.5405

       (c) In committing the offense, the offender attempted to5406
cause or made an actual threat of physical harm to a person, and5407
the offender previously was convicted of an offense that caused5408
physical harm to a person.5409

       (d) The offender held a public office or position of trust5410
and the offense related to that office or position; the offender's5411
position obliged the offender to prevent the offense or to bring5412
those committing it to justice; or the offender's professional5413
reputation or position facilitated the offense or was likely to5414
influence the future conduct of others.5415

       (e) The offender committed the offense for hire or as part of 5416
an organized criminal activity.5417

       (f) The offense is a sex offense that is a fourth or fifth5418
degree felony violation of section 2907.03, 2907.04, 2907.05,5419
2907.22, 2907.31, 2907.321, 2907.322, 2907.323, or 2907.34 of the5420
Revised Code.5421

a firearm.5428

       (2)(a) If the court makes a finding described in division5429
(B)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) of this5430
section and if the court, after considering the factors set forth5431
in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a prison term5432
is consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set5433
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and finds that the5434
offender is not amenable to an available community control5435
sanction, the court shall impose a prison term upon the offender.5436

       (b) Except as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this5437
section, if the court does not make a finding described in5438
division (B)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) of5439
this section and if the court, after considering the factors set5440
forth in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a5441
community control sanction or combination of community control5442
sanctions is consistent with the purposes and principles of5443
sentencing set forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code, the5444
court shall impose a community control sanction or combination of5445
community control sanctions upon the offender.5446

       (C) Except as provided in division (D), (E), (F), or (G) of 5447
this section, in determining whether to impose a prison term as a5448
sanction for a felony of the third degree or a felony drug offense5449
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised5450
Code and that is specified as being subject to this division for5451
purposes of sentencing, the sentencing court shall comply with the5452
purposes and principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the5453
Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of the Revised Code.5454

       (D)(1) Except as provided in division (E) or (F) of this5455
section, for a felony of the first or second degree, for a felony 5456
drug offense that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 5457
2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption 5458
in favor of a prison term is specified as being applicable, and 5459
for a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of section 2907.05 of 5460
the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a prison term 5461
is specified as being applicable, it is presumed that a prison 5462
term is necessary in order to comply with the purposes and 5463
principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the Revised 5464
Code. Division (D)(2) of this section does not apply to a 5465
presumption established under this division for a violation of 5466
division (A)(4) of section 2907.05 of the Revised Code.5467

       (2) Notwithstanding the presumption established under 5468
division (D)(1) of this section for the offenses listed in that 5469
division other than a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of 5470
section 2907.05 of the Revised Code, the sentencing court may5471
impose a community control sanction or a combination of community 5472
control sanctions instead of a prison term on an offender for a 5473
felony of the first or second degree or for a felony drug offense 5474
that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 2925., 3719., or 5475
4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a 5476
prison term is specified as being applicable if it makes both of5477
the following findings:5478

       (a) A community control sanction or a combination of5479
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender5480
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable5481
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a5482
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors5483
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.5484

       (b) A community control sanction or a combination of5485
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of5486
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of5487
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was5488
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are5489
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that5490
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious5491
than conduct normally constituting the offense.5492

       (E)(1) Except as provided in division (F) of this section,5493
for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of5494
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the5495
third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of a presumption5496
under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of5497
division (B) or (C) of this section in determining whether to5498
impose a prison term for the offense shall be determined as5499
specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06,5500
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 2925.37 of the5501
Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation.5502

       (2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to5503
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction5504
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive5505
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation5506
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned5507
unless the court determines on the record either of the following:5508

       (a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the5509
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug5510
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program,5511
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable5512
period of participation in the program.5513

       (b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is5514
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set5515
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code.5516

       (F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, the 5517
court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections 2929.02 5518
to 2929.06, section 2929.14, section 2929.142, or section 2971.03 5519
of the Revised Code and except as specifically provided in section5520
2929.20 or 2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is5521
authorized for the offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised5522
Code shall not reduce the term or terms pursuant to section 5523
2929.20, section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. 5524
or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code for any of the following5525
offenses:5526

Code if the department gave the sentencing judge prior notice of 5686
its intent to place the offender in an intensive program prison 5687
established under that section and if the judge did not notify the 5688
department that the judge disapproved the placement. Upon the 5689
establishment of the initial intensive program prison pursuant to 5690
section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is privately operated5691

offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division5697
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that5698
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.5699

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full5700
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 5701
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 5702
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant5703
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 5704
operated and managed prison.5705

offense determines pursuant to division (B) of section 2950.09 of5724
the Revised Code that the offender is a sexual predator.5725

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 5726
offense that is not a registration-exempt sexually oriented 5727
offense or for a child-victim oriented offense committed on or 5728
after January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a 5729
summary of the offender's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, 5730
2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and the5731
duration of the duties. The judge shall inform the offender, at 5732
the time of sentencing, of those duties and of their duration and, 5733
if. If required under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the 5734
Revised Code, the judge shall perform the duties specified in that5735
section, or, if required under division (A)(6) of section 2950.03 5736
of the Revised Code, the judge shall perform the duties specified 5737
in that division.5738

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 5739
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation 5740
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 5741
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 5742
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors5743
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section5744
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to5745
the felony category of the offense attempted.5746

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 5747
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 5748
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is5749
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled5750
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court5751
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that5752
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse5753
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of5754
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next5755
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in5756
the attempt.5757

       (K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the5758
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.5759

       (L) At the time of sentencing an offender who is a sexual 5760
predator for any sexually oriented offense, if the offender is a 5761
tier III sex offender/child-victim offender relative to that 5762
offense and the offender does not serve a prison term or jail 5763
term, the court may require that the offender be monitored by 5764
means of a global positioning device. If the court requires such 5765
monitoring, the cost of monitoring shall be borne by the offender. 5766
If the offender is indigent, the cost of compliance shall be paid 5767
by the crime victims reparations fund.5768

this section and except in relation to an offense for which a 5771
sentence of death or life imprisonment is to be imposed, if the 5772
court imposing a sentence upon an offender for a felony elects or 5773
is required to impose a prison term on the offender pursuant to 5774
this chapter, the court shall impose a definite prison term that 5775

or in Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code, the court imposing a 5803

       (d) A sentence imposed under division (D)(2)(a) or (b) of 5991
this section shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20 or 5992

Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. The offender shall serve an 5994
additional prison term imposed under this section consecutively to 5995
and prior to the prison term imposed for the underlying offense.5996

       (e) When imposing a sentence pursuant to division (D)(2)(a) 5997

this section, the court also may sentence the offender to a 6062
community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the 6063
Revised Code, but the offender shall serve all of the prison terms 6064
so imposed prior to serving the community control sanction.6065

OVI offense under division (G)(1) of section 2929.13 of the 6067
Revised Code and the court imposes a mandatory term of local 6068
incarceration, the court may impose a prison term as described in 6069
division (A)(1) of that section.6070

       (5) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a6071
violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the6072

division (D)(5) of this section, the prison term shall not be6081
reduced pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.193, or any6082
other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised6083

equivalent offense, as defined in section 2941.1415 of the Revised 6094
Code, or three or more violations of any combination of those 6095
divisions and offenses, the court shall impose on the offender a 6096
prison term of three years. If a court imposes a prison term on an 6097
offender under division (D)(6) of this section, the prison term 6098
shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20, section 6099

section of the Revised Code, and consecutively to any other prison6118
term or mandatory prison term previously or subsequently imposed6119
upon the offender.6120

       (b) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender6121

       (2) If an offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or6140
other residential detention facility violates section 2917.02,6141

who is under detention at a detention facility commits a felony6143
violation of section 2923.131 of the Revised Code, or if an6144
offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or other residential6145
detention facility or is under detention at a detention facility6146
commits another felony while the offender is an escapee in6147
violation of section 2921.34 of the Revised Code, any prison term6148

subsequently imposed upon the offender.6161

       (4) If multiple prison terms are imposed on an offender for6162
convictions of multiple offenses, the court may require the6163
offender to serve the prison terms consecutively if the court6164
finds that the consecutive service is necessary to protect the6165
public from future crime or to punish the offender and that6166
consecutive sentences are not disproportionate to the seriousness6167
of the offender's conduct and to the danger the offender poses to6168
the public, and if the court also finds any of the following:6169

       (a) The offender committed one or more of the multiple6170
offenses while the offender was awaiting trial or sentencing, was6171
under a sanction imposed pursuant to section 2929.16, 2929.17, or6172
2929.18 of the Revised Code, or was under post-release control for6173
a prior offense.6174

       (b) At least two of the multiple offenses were committed as6175
part of one or more courses of conduct, and the harm caused by two6176
or more of the multiple offenses so committed was so great or6177
unusual that no single prison term for any of the offenses6178
committed as part of any of the courses of conduct adequately6179
reflects the seriousness of the offender's conduct.6180

that consecutive sentences are necessary to protect the public6182
from future crime by the offender.6183

       (5) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender6184
pursuant to division (D)(5) or (6) of this section, the offender6185

the Revised Code. If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an 6190
offender pursuant to division (D)(5) of this section, and if a 6191
mandatory prison term also is imposed upon the offender pursuant 6192
to division (D)(6) of this section in relation to the same 6193
violation, the offender shall serve the mandatory prison term 6194
imposed pursuant to division (D)(5) of this section consecutively 6195
to and prior to the mandatory prison term imposed pursuant to 6196
division (D)(6) of this section and consecutively to and prior to 6197

(A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code pursuant to 6199
division (A) of this section or section 2929.142 of the Revised 6200
Code.6201

       (6) When consecutive prison terms are imposed pursuant to6202

the sentence a requirement that the offender be subject to a 6210
period of post-release control after the offender's release from 6211
imprisonment, in accordance with that division. If a court imposes 6212
a sentence including a prison term of a type described in this 6213
division on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a court to 6214
include a post-release control requirement in the sentence 6215

       (2) If a court imposes a prison term for a felony of the 6224
third, fourth, or fifth degree that is not subject to division 6225
(F)(1) of this section, it shall include in the sentence a 6226
requirement that the offender be subject to a period of 6227
post-release control after the offender's release from 6228
imprisonment, in accordance with that division, if the parole 6229
board determines that a period of post-release control is6230
necessary. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, prior 6231
to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a prison 6232
term of a type described in this division and failed to include in 6233
the sentence pursuant to this division a statement regarding 6234
post-release control.6235

the court shall impose sentence upon the offender in accordance 6258
with section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, and Chapter 2971. of the 6259
Revised Code applies regarding the prison term or term of life 6260
imprisonment without parole imposed upon the offender and the6261
service of that term of imprisonment.6262

the Revised Code.6280

about offenders and delinquent children who commit sexually 7845
oriented offenses that are not registration-exempt sexually 7846
oriented offenses or who commit child-victim oriented offenses, 7847
members of the public and communities can develop constructive 7848
plans to prepare themselves and their children for the offender's7849
or delinquent child's release from imprisonment, a prison term, or 7850
other confinement or detention. This allows members of the public 7851
and communities to meet with members of law enforcement agencies 7852
to prepare and obtain information about the rights and 7853
responsibilities of the public and the communities and to provide 7854
education and counseling to their children.7855

       (2) Sex offenders and offenders who commit child-victim 7856
oriented offensesoffenders pose a risk of engaging in further 7857
sexually abusive behavior even after being released from 7858

offenders who commit child-victim oriented offensesoffenders is a7861
paramount governmental interest.7862

       (3) The penal, juvenile, and mental health components of the7863
justice system of this state are largely hidden from public view,7864
and a lack of information from any component may result in the7865
failure of the system to satisfy this paramount governmental7866
interest of public safety described in division (A)(2) of this7867
section.7868

       (4) Overly restrictive confidentiality and liability laws7869
governing the release of information about sex offenders and 7870
offenders who commit child-victim oriented offensesoffenders have 7871
reduced the willingness to release information that could be7872
appropriately released under the public disclosure laws and have7873
increased risks of public safety.7874

       (5) A person who is found to be a sex offender or to have 7875
committed a child-victim oriented offenseoffender has a reduced 7876
expectation of privacy because of the public's interest in public 7877
safety and in the effective operation of government.7878

       (6) The release of information about sex offenders and 7879
offenders who commit child-victim oriented offensesoffenders to 7880
public agencies and the general public will further the 7881
governmental interests of public safety and public scrutiny of the 7882
criminal, juvenile, and mental health systems as long as the 7883
information released is rationally related to the furtherance of 7884
those goals.7885

       (B) The general assembly hereby declares that, in providing7886

near a particular neighborhood or who otherwise will live in or 7898
near a particular neighborhood, it is the general assembly's7899
intent to protect the safety and general welfare of the people of7900
this state. The general assembly further declares that it is the7901
policy of this state to require the exchange in accordance with7902
this chapter of relevant information about sex offenders and 7903
offenders who commit child-victim oriented offensesoffenders7904
among public agencies and officials and to authorize the release 7905

chapter, the failure to register shall constitute a waiver by the8006
offender of any right to notice under this section. If an offender8007
described in this division does not receive notice under this8008
section, the offender is not relieved of the offender's duties 8009

July 31, 2003, was a sexually oriented offense but that, on and 8026
after July 31, 2003, is a child-victim oriented offense, the 8027
notice so provided under this division shall suffice for purposes 8028
of this section as notice to the delinquent child of the 8029
delinquent child's duties under sections 2950.041, 2950.05, and 8030
2950.06 of the Revised Code imposed as a result of the 8031

       (E) An offender or delinquent child who is in a category 8513
described in division (A)(2) or (B) of this section may request as 8514
a matter of right a court hearing to contest the application to 8515
the offender or delinquent child of the new registration 8516
requirements under Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it will 8517
exist under the changes that will be implemented on January 1, 8518
2008. The offender or delinquent child may contest the manner in 8519
which the letter sent to the offender or delinquent child pursuant 8520
to division (A) or (B) of this section specifies that the new 8521
registration requirements apply to the offender or delinquent 8522
child or may contest whether those new registration requirements 8523
apply at all to the offender or delinquent child. To request the 8524
hearing, the offender or delinquent child not later than the date 8525
that is sixty days after the offender or delinquent child 8526
received the registered letter sent by the attorney general 8527
pursuant to division (A)(2) of this section shall file a petition 8528
with the court specified in this division. If the offender or 8529
delinquent child resides in or is temporarily domiciled in this 8530
state and requests a hearing, the offender or delinquent child 8531
shall file the petition with, and the hearing shall be held in, 8532
the court of common pleas or, for a delinquent child, the 8533
juvenile court of the county in which the offender or delinquent 8534
child resides or temporarily is domiciled. If the offender does 8535
not reside in and is not temporarily domiciled in this state, the 8536
offender or delinquent child shall file the petition with, and 8537
the hearing shall be held in, the court of common pleas of the 8538
county in which the offender registered a school, institution of 8539
higher education, or place of employment address, but if the 8540
offender has registered addresses of that nature in more than one 8541
county, the offender may file such a petition in the court of 8542
only one of those counties.8543

       If the offender or delinquent child requests a hearing by 8544
timely filing a petition with the appropriate court, the offender 8545
or delinquent child shall serve a copy of the petition on the 8546
prosecutor of the county in which the petition is filed. The 8547
prosecutor shall represent the interests of the state in the 8548
hearing. In any hearing under this division, the Rules of Civil 8549
Procedure or, if the hearing is in a juvenile court, the Rules of 8550
Juvenile Procedure apply, except to the extent that those Rules 8551
would by their nature be clearly inapplicable. The court shall 8552
schedule a hearing, and shall provide notice to the offender or 8553
delinquent child and prosecutor of the date, time, and place of 8554
the hearing.8555

       If an offender or delinquent child requests a hearing in 8556
accordance with this division, until the court issues its decision 8557
at or subsequent to the hearing, the offender or delinquent child 8558
shall comply prior to January 1, 2008, with Chapter 2950. of the 8559
Revised Code as it exists prior to that date and shall comply on 8560
and after January 1, 2008, with Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code 8561
as it will exist under the changes that will be implemented on 8562
that date. If an offender or delinquent child requests a hearing 8563
in accordance with this division, at the hearing, all parties are 8564
entitled to be heard, and the court shall consider all relevant 8565
information and testimony presented relative to the application to 8566
the offender or delinquent child of the new registration 8567
requirements under Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it will 8568
exist under the changes that will be implemented on January 1, 8569
2008. If, at the conclusion of the hearing, the court finds that 8570
the offender or delinquent child has proven by clear and 8571
convincing evidence that the new registration requirements do not 8572
apply to the offender or delinquent child in the manner specified 8573
in the letter sent to the offender or delinquent child pursuant to 8574
division (A) or (B) of this section, the court shall issue an 8575
order that specifies the manner in which the court has determined 8576
that the new registration requirements do apply to the offender 8577
or delinquent child. If at the conclusion of the hearing the 8578
court finds that the offender or delinquent child has proven by 8579
clear and convincing evidence that the new registration 8580
requirements do not apply to the offender or delinquent child, 8581
the court shall issue an order that specifies that the new 8582
registration requirements do not apply to the offender or 8583
delinquent child. The court promptly shall serve a copy of an 8584
order issued under this division upon the sheriff with whom the 8585
offender or delinquent child most recently registered under 8586
section 2950.04, 2950.041, or 2950.05 of the Revised Code and 8587
upon the bureau of criminal identification and investigation. The 8588
offender or delinquent child and the prosecutor have the right to 8589
appeal the decision of the court issued under this division.8590

       If an offender or delinquent child fails to request a hearing 8591
in accordance with this division within the applicable sixty-day 8592
period specified in this division, the failure constitutes a 8593
waiver by the offender or delinquent child of the offender's or 8594
delinquent child's right to a hearing under this division, and the 8595
offender or delinquent child is bound by the determinations of the 8596
attorney general contained in the registered letter sent to the 8597
offender or child.8598

       If a juvenile court issues an order under division (A)(2) or 8599
(3) of section 2152.86 of the Revised Code that classifies a 8600
delinquent child a public-registry qualified juvenile offender 8601
registrant and if the child's delinquent act was committed prior 8602
to January 1, 2008, a challenge to the classification contained in 8603
the order shall be made pursuant to division (D) of section 8604
2152.86 of the Revised Code.8605

       Sec. 2950.032.  (A)(1) At any time on or after July 1, 2007, 8606

       (b) Determine whether criminal proceedings are pending12656
against the applicant;12657

       (c) If the applicant is a first offender who applies pursuant 12658
to division (A)(1) of this section, determine whether the12659
applicant has been rehabilitated to the satisfaction of the court;12660

       (d) If the prosecutor has filed an objection in accordance12661
with division (B) of this section, consider the reasons against12662
granting the application specified by the prosecutor in the12663
objection;12664

       (e) Weigh the interests of the applicant in having the12665
records pertaining to the applicant's conviction sealed against12666
the legitimate needs, if any, of the government to maintain those12667
records.12668

       (2) If the court determines, after complying with division12669
(C)(1) of this section, that the applicant is a first offender or12670
the subject of a bail forfeiture, that no criminal proceeding is12671
pending against the applicant, and that the interests of the12672
applicant in having the records pertaining to the applicant's12673
conviction or bail forfeiture sealed are not outweighed by any12674
legitimate governmental needs to maintain those records, and that12675
the rehabilitation of an applicant who is a first offender12676
applying pursuant to division (A)(1) of this section has been12677
attained to the satisfaction of the court, the court, except as12678
provided in division (G) of this section, shall order all official12679
records pertaining to the case sealed and, except as provided in12680
division (F) of this section, all index references to the case12681
deleted and, in the case of bail forfeitures, shall dismiss the12682
charges in the case. The proceedings in the case shall be12683
considered not to have occurred and the conviction or bail12684
forfeiture of the person who is the subject of the proceedings12685
shall be sealed, except that upon conviction of a subsequent12686
offense, the sealed record of prior conviction or bail forfeiture12687
may be considered by the court in determining the sentence or12688
other appropriate disposition, including the relief provided for12689
in sections 2953.31 to 2953.33 of the Revised Code.12690

       (3) Upon the filing of an application under this section, the 12691
applicant, unless indigent, shall pay a fee of fifty dollars. The 12692
court shall pay thirty dollars of the fee into the state treasury. 12693
It shall pay twenty dollars of the fee into the county general 12694
revenue fund if the sealed conviction or bail forfeiture was 12695
pursuant to a state statute, or into the general revenue fund of 12696
the municipal corporation involved if the sealed conviction or12697
bail forfeiture was pursuant to a municipal ordinance.12698

       (D) Inspection of the sealed records included in the order12699
may be made only by the following persons or for the following12700
purposes:12701

       (1) By a law enforcement officer or prosecutor, or the12702
assistants of either, to determine whether the nature and12703
character of the offense with which a person is to be charged12704
would be affected by virtue of the person's previously having been12705
convicted of a crime;12706

       (2) By the parole or probation officer of the person who is12707
the subject of the records, for the exclusive use of the officer12708

who applies for employment with the agency as a law enforcement12725
officer or with the department as a corrections officer;12726

       (7) By any law enforcement agency or any authorized employee12727
of a law enforcement agency, for the purposes set forth in, and in12728
the manner provided in, section 2953.321 of the Revised Code;12729

       (8) By the bureau of criminal identification and12730
investigation or any authorized employee of the bureau for the12731
purpose of providing information to a board or person pursuant to12732
division (F) or (G) of section 109.57 of the Revised Code;12733

purpose of performing a criminal history records check on a person12736

Revised Code is to be awarded;12738

       (10) By the bureau of criminal identification and 12739
investigation, an authorized employee of the bureau, a sheriff, or 12740
an authorized employee of a sheriff in connection with a criminal 12741

       (11) By the attorney general or an authorized employee of the 12743
attorney general or a court for purposes of determining a person's 12744
classification pursuant to Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code.12745

       When the nature and character of the offense with which a12746
person is to be charged would be affected by the information, it12747
may be used for the purpose of charging the person with an12748
offense.12749

       (E) In any criminal proceeding, proof of any otherwise12750
admissible prior conviction may be introduced and proved,12751
notwithstanding the fact that for any such prior conviction an12752
order of sealing previously was issued pursuant to sections12753
2953.31 to 2953.36 of the Revised Code.12754

       (F) The person or governmental agency, office, or department12755
that maintains sealed records pertaining to convictions or bail12756
forfeitures that have been sealed pursuant to this section may12757
maintain a manual or computerized index to the sealed records. The12758
index shall contain only the name of, and alphanumeric identifiers12759
that relate to, the persons who are the subject of the sealed12760

shall not contain the name of the crime committed. The index shall12763
be made available by the person who has custody of the sealed12764
records only for the purposes set forth in divisions (C), (D), and12765

       (G) Notwithstanding any provision of this section or section12767
2953.33 of the Revised Code that requires otherwise, a board of12768

school district that maintains records of an individual who has12770
been permanently excluded under sections 3301.121 and 3313.662 of12771
the Revised Code is permitted to maintain records regarding a12772
conviction that was used as the basis for the individual's12773
permanent exclusion, regardless of a court order to seal the12774
record. An order issued under this section to seal the record of a 12775
conviction does not revoke the adjudication order of the12776
superintendent of public instruction to permanently exclude the12777
individual who is the subject of the sealing order. An order12778
issued under this section to seal the record of a conviction of an12779
individual may be presented to a district superintendent as12780
evidence to support the contention that the superintendent should12781
recommend that the permanent exclusion of the individual who is12782
the subject of the sealing order be revoked. Except as otherwise12783
authorized by this division and sections 3301.121 and 3313.662 of12784
the Revised Code, any school employee in possession of or having12785
access to the sealed conviction records of an individual that were12786
the basis of a permanent exclusion of the individual is subject to12787
section 2953.35 of the Revised Code.12788

       Sec. 2967.12.  (A) Except as provided in division (G) of this 12789
section, at least three weeks before the adult parole authority 12790
recommends any pardon or commutation of sentence, or grants any 12791
parole, the authority shall send a notice of the pendency of the 12792
pardon, commutation, or parole, setting forth the name of the 12793
person on whose behalf it is made, the offense of which the person 12794
was convicted or to which the person pleaded guilty, the time of 12795
conviction or the guilty plea, and the term of the person's 12796
sentence, to the prosecuting attorney and the judge of the court 12797
of common pleas of the county in which the indictment against the 12798
person was found. If there is more than one judge of that court of12799
common pleas, the authority shall send the notice to the presiding 12800
judge. The department of rehabilitation and correction, at the 12801
same time that it provides the notice to the prosecuting attorney 12802
and judge under this division, also shall post on the database it 12803
maintains pursuant to section 5120.66 of the Revised Code the 12804
offender's name and all of the information specified in division 12805
(A)(1)(c)(iii) of that section.12806

       (B) If a request for notification has been made pursuant to12807
section 2930.16 of the Revised Code, the adult parole authority12808
also shall give notice to the victim or the victim's12809
representative prior to recommending any pardon or commutation of12810
sentence for, or granting any parole to, the person. The authority 12811
shall provide the notice at the same time as the notice required 12812
by division (A) of this section and shall include in the notice12813
the information required to be set forth in that notice. The 12814
notice also shall inform the victim or the victim's representative 12815
that the victim or representative may send a written statement 12816
relative to the victimization and the pending action to the adult 12817
parole authority and that, if the authority receives any written 12818
statement prior to recommending a pardon or commutation or 12819
granting a parole for a person, the authority will consider the 12820
statement before it recommends a pardon or commutation or grants a12821
parole. If the person is being considered for parole, the notice 12822
shall inform the victim or the victim's representative that a full12823
board hearing of the parole board may be held and that the victim12824
or victim's representative may contact the office of victims' 12825
services for further information. If the person being considered 12826
for parole was convicted of or pleaded guilty to violating section 12827
2903.01 or 2903.02 of the Revised Code, the notice shall inform 12828
the victim of that offense, the victim's representative, or a 12829
member of the victim's immediate family that the victim, the 12830
victim's representative, and the victim's immediate family have 12831
the right to give testimony at a full board hearing of the parole 12832
board and that the victim or victim's representative may contact 12833
the office of victims' services for further information. As used 12834
in this division, "the victim's immediate family" means the 12835
mother, father, spouse, sibling, or child of the victim.12836

       (C) When notice of the pendency of any pardon, commutation of 12837
sentence, or parole has been given to a judge or prosecutor or 12838
posted on the database as provided in division (A) of this section 12839
and a hearing on the pardon, commutation, or parole is continued 12840
to a date certain, the authority shall provide notice of the 12841
further consideration of the pardon, commutation, or parole at12842
least ten days before the further consideration. The notice of the 12843
further consideration shall be provided to the proper judge and 12844
prosecuting attorney by mail at least ten days before the further 12845
consideration, and, if the initial notice was posted on the 12846
database as provided in division (A) of this section, the notice 12847
of the further consideration shall be posted on the database at 12848
least ten days before the further consideration. When notice of12849
the pendency of any pardon, commutation, or parole has been given12850
as provided in division (B) of this section and the hearing on it12851
is continued to a date certain, the authority shall give notice of 12852
the further consideration to the victim or the victim's12853
representative in accordance with section 2930.03 of the Revised12854
Code.12855

       (D) In case of an application for the pardon or commutation12856
of sentence of a person sentenced to capital punishment, the12857
governor may modify the requirements of notification and12858
publication if there is not sufficient time for compliance with12859
the requirements before the date fixed for the execution of12860
sentence.12861

       (E) If an offender is serving a prison term imposed under12862
division (A)(3), (B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), or (B)(2)(a), (b), or 12863
(c), or (B)(3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of section 2971.03 of the 12864
Revised Code and if the parole board terminates its control over 12865
the offender's service of that term pursuant to section 2971.04 of 12866
the Revised Code, the parole board immediately shall provide 12867
written notice of its termination of control or the transfer of 12868
control to the entities and persons specified in section 2971.04 12869
of the Revised Code.12870

       (F) The failure of the adult parole authority to comply with12871
the notice or posting provisions of division (A), (B), or (C) of 12872
this section or the failure of the parole board to comply with the12873
notice provisions of division (E) of this section do not give any12874
rights or any grounds for appeal or post-conviction relief to the 12875
person serving the sentence.12876

       (G) Divisions (A), (B), and (C) of this section do not apply12877
to any release of a person that is of the type described in12878
division (B)(2)(b) of section 5120.031 of the Revised Code.12879

       (H) In addition to and independent of the right of a victim 12880

and any other right or duty of a person to present information or 12889
make a statement, any person may send to the adult parole 12890
authority at any time prior to the authority's recommending a 12891
pardon or commutation or granting a parole for the offender a 12892
written statement relative to the offense and the pending action.12893

       Sec. 2967.121.  (A) Subject to division (C) of this section, 12894
at least two weeks before any convict who is serving a sentence 12895
for committing a felony of the first, second, or third degree is12896
released from confinement in any state correctional institution12897
pursuant to a pardon, commutation of sentence, parole, or 12898
completed prison term, the adult parole authority shall send 12899

       (8) The address at which the convict will reside.12917

       (C) Divisions (A) and (B) of this section do not apply to the 12918

       (2) After control over the offender's service of a prison 13422
term has been transferred pursuant to section 2971.04 of the 13423
Revised Code to the court, the court, within thirty days of either 13424
of the following, shall conduct a hearing on whether to modify in 13425
accordance with division (C) of this section the requirement that 13426

2971.06 of the Revised Code regarding a known or suspected 13436
violation of a term or condition of the modification or a belief 13437
that there is a substantial likelihood that the offender has 13438
committed or is about to commit a sexually violent offense.13439

       (3) After control over the offender's service of a prison 13440
term has been transferred pursuant to section 2971.04 of the 13441
Revised Code to the court, the court, in any of the following 13442
circumstances, may conduct a hearing within thirty days to 13443

this section the requirement that the offender serve the entire 13445
prison term in a state correctional institution, whether to 13446
continue, revise, or revoke an existing modification of that 13447
requirement, or whether to terminate the sentence in accordance13448
with division (D) of this section:13449

       (a) The offender requests the hearing;13450

       (b) Upon the court's own motion;13451

       (c) One or more examiners who have conducted a psychological13452
examination and assessment of the offender file a statement that 13453
states that there no longer is a likelihood that the offender will 13454
engage in the future in a sexually violent offense.13455

       (B)(1) Before a court holds a hearing pursuant to division13456
(A) of this section, the court shall provide notice of the date,13457
time, place, and purpose of the hearing to the offender, the 13458
prosecuting attorney, the department of rehabilitation and 13459
correction, and the adult parole authority and shall request the 13460
department to prepare pursuant to section 5120.61 of the Revised 13461
Code an update of the most recent risk assessment and report 13462
relative to the offender. The offender has the right to be 13463
present at any hearing held under this section. At the hearing, 13464
the offender and the prosecuting attorney may make a statement and 13465
present evidence as to whether the requirement that the offender 13466
serve the entire prison term in a state correctional institution 13467
should or should not be modified, whether the existing 13468
modification of the requirement should be continued, revised, or 13469
revoked, and whether the prison term should or should not be 13470
terminated.13471

       (2) At a hearing held pursuant to division (A) of this 13472
section, the court may and, if the hearing is held pursuant to 13473
division (A)(1)(a), (1)(b), or (3)(c) of this section, shall 13474
determine by clear and convincing evidence whether the offender is 13475
unlikely to commit a sexually violent offense in the future.13476

       (3) At the conclusion of the hearing held pursuant to 13477
division (A) of this section, the court may order that the 13478
requirement that the offender serve the entire prison term in a 13479
state correctional institution be continued, that the requirement 13480
be modified pursuant to division (C) of this section, that an 13481
existing modification be continued, revised, or revoked pursuant 13482
to division (C) of this section, or that the prison term be13483
terminated pursuant to division (D) of this section.13484

       (C)(1) If, at the conclusion of a hearing held pursuant to13485
division (A) of this section, the court determines by clear and 13486
convincing evidence that the offender will not represent a 13487
substantial risk of physical harm to others, the court may modify 13488
the requirement that the offender serve the entire prison term 13489
imposed under division (A)(3), (B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), or13490
(B)(2)(a), (b), or (c), or (B)(3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of section 13491
2971.03 of the Revised Code in a state correctional institution in 13492
a manner that the court considers appropriate. If the court 13493
modifies the requirement for an offender whose prison term was 13494
imposed pursuant to division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the 13495
Revised Code, the court shall order the adult parole authority to 13496
supervise the offender and shall require that the authority's 13497
supervision of the offender be pursuant to division (E) of this 13498
section. If the court modifies the requirement for an offender 13499
whose prison term was imposed pursuant to division (B)(1)(a), (b), 13500
or (c) or, (2)(a), (b), or (c), or (3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of 13501
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, the court shall order the 13502
adult parole authority to supervise the offender and may require 13503
that the authority's supervision of the offender be pursuant to 13504
division (E) of this section.13505

       (2) The modification of the requirement does not terminate 13506
the prison term but serves only to suspend the requirement that 13507
the offender serve the entire term in a state correctional 13508
institution. The prison term shall remain in effect for the 13509
offender's entire life unless the court terminates the prison term 13510
pursuant to division (D) of this section. The offender shall13511
remain under the jurisdiction of the court for the offender's 13512
entire life unless the court so terminates the prison term. The 13513
modification of the requirement does not terminate the13514
classification of the offender, as described in division (F) of 13515
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, as a sexual predator for13516
purposes of Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code, and the offender is 13517
subject to supervision, including supervision under division (E) 13518
of this section if the court required the supervision of the 13519
offender to be pursuant to that division.13520

       (3) If the court revokes the modification under 13521
consideration, the court shall order that the offender be returned 13522
to the custody of the department of rehabilitation and correction 13523
to continue serving the prison term to which the modification 13524
applied, and section 2971.06 of the Revised Code applies regarding 13525
the offender.13526

       (D)(1) If, at the conclusion of a hearing held pursuant to13527
division (A) of this section, the court determines by clear and13528
convincing evidence that the offender is unlikely to commit a13529
sexually violent offense in the future, the court may terminate 13530
the offender's prison term imposed under division (A)(3), 13531
(B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), or (B)(2)(a), (b), or (c), or (B)(3)(a), 13532
(b), (c), or (d) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, subject 13533
to the offender satisfactorily completing the period of 13534
conditional release required by this division and, if applicable, 13535
compliance with division (E) of this section. If the court 13536
terminates the prison term, the court shall place the offender on13537
conditional release for five years, notify the adult parole 13538
authority of its determination and of the termination of the 13539
prison term, and order the adult parole authority to supervise the 13540
offender during the five-year period of conditional release or, if 13541
division (E) applies to the offender, to supervise the offender 13542
pursuant to and for the period of time specified in that division. 13543
If the court terminates the prison term for an offender whose 13544
prison term was imposed pursuant to division (A)(3) of section 13545
2971.03 of the Revised Code, the court shall require that the 13546
authority's supervision of the offender be pursuant to division 13547
(E) of this section. If the court terminates the prison term for 13548
an offender whose prison term was imposed pursuant to division 13549
(B)(1)(a), (b), or (c) or, (2)(a), (b), or (c), or (3)(a), (b), 13550
(c), or (d) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, the court may 13551
require that the authority's supervision of the offender be 13552
pursuant to division (E) of this section. Upon receipt of a notice 13553
from a court pursuant to this division, the adult parole authority 13554
shall supervise the offender who is the subject of the notice 13555
during the five-year period of conditional release, periodically 13556
notify the court of the offender's activities during that 13557
five-year period of conditional release, and file with the court13558
no later than thirty days prior to the expiration of the five-year 13559
period of conditional release a written recommendation as to 13560
whether the termination of the offender's prison term should be 13561
finalized, whether the period of conditional release should be 13562
extended, or whether another type of action authorized pursuant to 13563
this chapter should be taken.13564

        (2) Upon receipt of a recommendation of the adult parole 13565
authority filed pursuant to division (D)(1) of this section, the 13566
court shall hold a hearing to determine whether to finalize the 13567
termination of the offender's prison term, to extend the period of 13568
conditional release, or to take another type of action authorized 13569
pursuant to this chapter. The court shall hold the hearing no 13570
later than the date on which the five-year period of conditional13571
release terminates and shall provide notice of the date, time, 13572
place, and purpose of the hearing to the offender and to the 13573
prosecuting attorney. At the hearing, the offender, the 13574
prosecuting attorney, and the adult parole authority employee who 13575
supervised the offender during the period of conditional release 13576
may make a statement and present evidence.13577

        If the court determines at the hearing to extend an 13578
offender's period of conditional release, it may do so for 13579
additional periods of one year in the same manner as the original 13580
period of conditional release, and, except as otherwise described 13581
in this division, all procedures and requirements that applied to13582
the original period of conditional release apply to the additional 13583
period of extended conditional release unless the court modifies a 13584
procedure or requirement. If an offender's period of conditional 13585
release is extended as described in this division, all references 13586
to a five-year period of conditional release that are contained in 13587
division (D)(1) of this section shall be construed, in applying 13588
the provisions of that division to the extension, as being 13589
references to the one-year period of the extension of the13590
conditional release.13591

       If the court determines at the hearing to take another type 13592
of action authorized pursuant to this chapter, it may do so in the 13593
same manner as if the action had been taken at any other stage of 13594
the proceedings under this chapter. As used in this division, 13595
"another type of action" includes the revocation of the 13596
conditional release and the return of the offender to a state 13597
correctional institution to continue to serve the prison term.13598

       If the court determines at the hearing to finalize the 13599
termination of the offender's prison term, it shall notify the 13600
department of rehabilitation and correction, the department shall 13601
enter into its records a final release and issue to the offender a 13602
certificate of final release, and the prison term thereafter shall 13603
be considered completed and terminated in every way.13604

       (3) The termination of an offender's prison term pursuant to13605
division (D)(1) or (2) of this section does not affect the 13606
classification of the offender, as described in division (F) of 13607
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, as a sexual predatortier III 13608
sex offender/child-victim offender for purposes of Chapter 2950. 13609
of the Revised Code, does not terminate the adult parole 13610
authority's supervision of the offender, and, if the court had 13611
required the supervision of the offender to be pursuant to 13612
division (E) of this section, does not terminate the supervision 13613
of the offender with an active global positioning system device, 13614
pursuant to that division. The classification of the offender as a 13615
sexual predator is permanent and continues until the offender's 13616
death as described in division (D)(2) of section 2950.09 of the 13617
Revised Code.13618

       (E) If a prison term imposed upon an offender pursuant to 13619
division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code is modified 13620
as provided in division (C) of this section or terminated as 13621
provided in division (D) of this section, the adult parole 13622
authority shall supervise the offender with an active global 13623
positioning system device during any time period in which the 13624
offender is not incarcerated in a state correctional institution. 13625
If a prison term imposed upon an offender pursuant to division 13626
(B)(1)(a), (b), or (c) or, (2)(a), (b), or (c), or (3)(a), (b), 13627
(c), or (d) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code is modified as 13628
provided in division (C) of this section or terminated as provided 13629
in division (D) of this section, and if the court requires that 13630
the adult parole authority's supervision of the offender be 13631
pursuant to this division, the authority shall supervise the 13632
offender with an active global positioning system device during 13633
any time period in which the offender is not incarcerated in a 13634
state correctional institution. If the adult parole authority is 13635
required to supervise the offender with an active global 13636
positioning system device as described in this division, unless 13637
the court removes the offender's classification as a sexually 13638
violent predator regarding an offender whose prison term was 13639
imposed under division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised 13640
Code or terminates the requirement that supervision of the 13641
offender be pursuant to this division regarding an offender whose 13642
prison term was imposed under division (B)(1)(a), (b), or (c) or,13643
(2)(a), (b), or (c), or (3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of section 13644
2971.03 of the Revised Code, the offender is subject to 13645
supervision with an active global positioning system pursuant to 13646
this division for the offender's entire life. The costs of 13647
administering the supervision of offenders with an active global 13648
positioning system device pursuant to this division shall be paid 13649
out of funds from the reparations fund, created pursuant to 13650
section 2743.191 of the Revised Code. This division shall only 13651
apply to a sexually violent predator sentenced pursuant to 13652
division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code who is 13653
released from the custody of the department of rehabilitation and 13654
correction on or after September 29, 2005, or an offender 13655
sentenced pursuant to division (B)(1) or (2) of section 2971.03 of 13656
the Revised Code on or after the effective date of this amendment13657
January 2, 2007.13658

       Sec. 2971.06.  If an offender is serving a prison term 13659
imposed under division (A)(3), (B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), or13660
(B)(2)(a), (b), or (c), or (B)(3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of section 13661
2971.03 of the Revised Code, if, pursuant to section 2971.05 of 13662
the Revised Code, the court modifies the requirement that the 13663
offender serve the entire prison term in a state correctional13664
institution or places the offender on conditional release, and if, 13665
at any time after the offender has been released from serving the 13666
term in an institution, the department of rehabilitation and 13667
correction or the prosecuting attorney learns or obtains13668
information indicating that the offender has violated a term or13669
condition of the modification or conditional release or believes 13670
there is a substantial likelihood that the offender has committed 13671
or is about to commit a sexually violent offense, all of the 13672
following apply:13673

       (A) The department or the prosecuting attorney may contact a 13674
peace officer, parole officer, or probation officer and request 13675
the officer to take the offender into custody. If the department 13676
contacts a peace officer, parole officer, or probation officer and 13677
requests that the offender be taken into custody, the department 13678
shall notify the prosecuting attorney that it made the request and 13679
shall provide the reasons for which it made the request. Upon 13680
receipt of a request that an offender be taken into custody, a 13681
peace officer, parole officer, or probation officer shall take the 13682
offender in question into custody and promptly shall notify the 13683
department and the prosecuting attorney, in writing, that the13684
offender was taken into custody. After the offender has been taken 13685
into custody, the department or the prosecuting attorney shall 13686
notify the court of the violation or the belief that there is a 13687
substantial likelihood that the offender has committed or is about 13688
to commit a sexually violent offense, and the prosecuting attorney 13689
may request that the court, pursuant to section 2971.05 of the 13690
Revised Code, revise the modification. An offender may be held in 13691
custody under this provision for no longer than thirty days,13692
pending a determination pursuant to section 2971.05 of the Revised 13693
Code of whether the modification of the requirement that the 13694
offender serve the entire prison term in a state correctional 13695
institution should be revised. If the court fails to make a 13696
determination under that section regarding the prosecuting 13697
attorney's request within thirty days after the offender was taken 13698
into custody, the offender shall be released from custody and 13699
shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as existed under 13700
the then-existing modification of the requirement that the 13701
offender serve the entire prison term in a state correctional 13702
institution, provided that if the act that resulted in the 13703
offender being taken into custody under this division is a 13704
criminal offense and if the offender is arrested for that act, the13705
offender may be retained in custody in accordance with the 13706
applicable law.13707

       (B) If the offender is not taken into custody pursuant to 13708
division (A) of this section, the department or the prosecuting 13709
attorney shall notify the court of the known or suspected13710
violation or of the belief that there is a substantial likelihood 13711
that the offender has committed or is about to commit a sexually 13712
violent offense. If the department provides the notification to 13713
the court, it also shall notify the prosecuting attorney that it 13714
provided the notification and shall provide the reasons for which 13715
it provided the notification. The prosecuting attorney may request 13716
that the court, pursuant to section 2971.05 of the Revised Code, 13717
revise the modification.13718
