section 1547.11 of the Revised Code or other equivalent offenses, | 434 |
the law enforcement officer shall request the person to submit, | 435 |
and the person shall submit, to a chemical test or tests of the | 436 |
person's whole blood, blood serum or plasma, breath, or urine for | 437 |
the purpose of determining the alcohol, drug of abuse, controlled | 438 |
substance, metabolite of a controlled substance, or combination | 439 |
content of the person's whole blood, blood serum or plasma, | 440 |
breath, or urine. A law enforcement officer who makes a request | 441 |
pursuant to this division that a person submit to a chemical test | 442 |
or tests is not required to advise the person of the consequences | 443 |
of refusing to submit to the test or tests and is not required to | 444 |

request made pursuant to division (B)(1) of this section, the law | 452 |
enforcement officer who made the request may employ whatever | 453 |
reasonable means are necessary to ensure that the person submits | 454 |
to a chemical test of the person's whole blood or blood serum or | 455 |
plasma. A law enforcement officer who acts pursuant to this | 456 |
division to ensure that a person submits to a chemical test of the | 457 |
person's whole blood or blood serum or plasma is immune from | 458 |
criminal and civil liability based upon a claim for assault and | 459 |
battery or any other claim for the acts, unless the officer so | 460 |
acted with malicious purpose, in bad faith, or in a wanton or | 461 |
reckless manner. | 462 |

shall be advised
of
the consequences of refusing to
submit to a | 466 |
chemical test
or tests
designated
as provided in
division
(A) of | 467 |
this section. The advice shall be in a written
form
prescribed by | 468 |

signing | 473 |
the form. The person must submit to the chemical test or tests, | 474 |
subsequent to the request of the arresting officer, within two | 475 |
hours of the time of the alleged violation, and if the person does | 476 |
not submit to the test or tests within that two-hour time limit, | 477 |
the failure to submit automatically constitutes a refusal to | 478 |
submit to the test or tests. | 479 |
(D) IfExcept as provided in division (B) of this section, if | 480 |
a
law enforcement officer asks a person under arrest
for
violating | 481 |
section
1547.11 of the Revised Code
or a
substantially equivalent | 482 |
municipal
ordinance to submit to a
chemical test
or tests as | 483 |

refuses to submit, no chemical
test
shall be
given.

arresting law | 488 |
enforcement officer had
reasonable
grounds to believe the arrested | 489 |
person
violated section 1547.11
of the Revised Code or
a | 490 |
substantially
equivalent municipal
ordinance and that the person | 491 |
refused to
submit to the chemical
test upon
the
request of the
| 492 |
officer, and upon receipt of the
form as provided in
division (C) | 493 |
of this section certifying that
the arrested person
was advised of | 494 |
the consequences of the
refusal,
the chief of the
division of | 495 |
watercraft shall inform the
person by written notice
that the | 496 |
person is prohibited from
operating
or being in physical
control | 497 |
of a
vessel,
from

registering
any watercraft
in accordance | 499 |
with section 1547.54
of
the Revised
Code, for one
year following | 500 |
the date of the
alleged
violation.
The suspension of these | 501 |
operation,
physical
control,
manipulation, and
registration | 502 |
privileges
shall
continue
for
the entire
one-year
period, subject | 503 |
to review as
provided in
this
section. | 504 |
If the person under arrest is the owner of the vessel | 505 |
involved in the alleged violation, the
law enforcement officer who | 506 |
arrested the person shall
seize the watercraft registration | 507 |
certificate and tags from the
vessel involved in the violation and | 508 |
forward them to the chief. The chief shall retain the
impounded | 509 |
registration certificate and tags and shall impound
all other | 510 |
registration
certificates and tags issued to the person in | 511 |
accordance with sections 1547.54 and 1547.57 of the Revised Code, | 512 |
for a period of one year following the date of the alleged | 513 |
violation,
subject to review as provided in this section. | 514 |
If the arrested person fails to surrender the
registration | 515 |
certificate because it is not on the person of the
arrested person | 516 |
or in the watercraft, the law enforcement
officer who made the | 517 |
arrest shall order the person to
surrender it within twenty-four | 518 |
hours to the law enforcement officer or the
law enforcement agency | 519 |
that employs the law enforcement officer.
If the person fails to | 520 |
do so, the law
enforcement officer shall notify the chief of that | 521 |
fact in the
statement the officer submits to the chief under this | 522 |
division. | 523 |
(E) Upon suspending a person's operation,
physical control,
| 524 |
manipulation,
and
registration privileges in accordance with | 525 |
division (D)
of this
section, the chief shall notify the
person in | 526 |
writing, at
the person's last known address, and
inform the person | 527 |
that the
person may
petition for a hearing in accordance with | 528 |
division (F)
of this section. If a
person whose operation, | 529 |
physical control,
manipulation,
and registration
privileges
have | 530 |
been suspended
petitions for
a hearing or appeals any
adverse | 531 |
decision, the suspension
shall
begin at the
termination
of any | 532 |
hearing or appeal unless the
hearing or appeal
results in a | 533 |
decision
favorable to the person. | 534 |
(F) Any person who has been notified by the chief that the | 535 |
person is prohibited from
operating
or being in physical control | 536 |
of a vessel or
manipulating any
water skis, aquaplane, or
similar | 537 |
device
and
from registering any watercraft in accordance
with | 538 |

and send
the
chief a copy of the petition. | 550 |
The scope of the hearing is limited to the issues of
whether | 551 |
the law enforcement officer had reasonable grounds to
believe the | 552 |
petitioner was operating

manipulating any water
skis, aquaplane, or similar device
in | 554 |
violation of
section 1547.11
of the Revised Code or a | 555 |
substantially equivalent municipal
ordinance,
whether the | 556 |
petitioner was placed under arrest, whether
the petitioner
refused | 557 |
to submit to the chemical test upon request
of the
officer, and | 558 |
whether the petitioner was advised of the
consequences of the | 559 |
petitioner's refusal. | 560 |
(2) In hearing the matter and in determining whether the | 564 |
person has shown error in the decision taken by the chief as | 565 |
provided in
division (D) of this
section, the court shall decide | 566 |
the issue upon the relevant,
competent, and material evidence | 567 |
submitted by the chief or the person whose
operation,
physical | 568 |
control,
manipulation,
and
registration privileges have been | 569 |
suspended. | 570 |
In the proceedings, the chief shall be represented by
the | 571 |
prosecuting attorney of the county in which the petition is
filed | 572 |
if the petition is filed in a county court or juvenile
court, | 573 |

person has failed to show error in the action taken by the
chief | 581 |
under division (D) of this
section or in one or more of the | 582 |
matters within the scope of the
hearing as provided in division | 583 |
(F) of this section, or both,
the court shall assess the cost of | 584 |
the proceeding against
the person and shall uphold the suspension | 585 |
of the operation,
physical
control, use, and registration | 586 |

were held,
the chief shall reinstate the operation, | 593 |
physical
control,
manipulation,
and registration privileges of
the | 594 |
person
without charge, and
the chief shall

Sec. 1547.112. A law enforcement officer who arrests a | 617 |
person for a violation of division (A) or (B) of section 1547.11 | 618 |
of the Revised Code or a violation of a municipal ordinance, law | 619 |
of another state, or law of the United States that is | 620 |

of the Revised Code shall send to the department of public safety, | 622 |
within forty-eight hours after the arrest of the person, a sworn | 623 |

(F) Whoever violates division (M) of section 1547.54, | 640 |
division (G) of section 1547.30, or section 1547.131, 1547.25, | 641 |
1547.33, 1547.38, 1547.39, 1547.40,
1547.65, 1547.69, or 1547.92 | 642 |
of the
Revised Code or a rule adopted under division (A)(2) of | 643 |
section
1547.52 of the Revised Code is guilty of a misdemeanor of | 644 |

The court may suspend the execution of the mandatory
jail | 655 |
term of three
consecutive days
that it is required
to impose by | 656 |
division (G)(1) of this section if the court, in
lieu
of the | 657 |
suspended
jail term, places the offender
under a community control | 658 |
sanction pursuant to section
2929.25 of the Revised Code
and | 659 |
requires the
offender to attend,
for three consecutive days, a | 660 |
drivers'
intervention program that
is certified pursuant to | 661 |
section
3793.10 of the Revised Code. The
court also may suspend | 662 |
the
execution of any part of the mandatory
jail term of three | 663 |
consecutive days
that it is
required to impose by division
(G)(1) | 664 |
of this section if
the court
places the offender
under a community | 665 |
control
sanction pursuant to section 2929.25 of the Revised Code | 666 |
for
part
of the three
consecutive days; requires the offender to | 667 |
attend,
for that part
of the three consecutive days, a drivers' | 668 |
intervention program
that is certified pursuant to section 3793.10 | 669 |
of the Revised
Code; and sentences the offender to a
jail term
| 670 |
equal
to the remainder of the three consecutive days
that the | 671 |
offender
does not spend attending the drivers'
intervention | 672 |
program. The
court may require the offender, as a
condition of
| 673 |
community control, to
attend and
satisfactorily complete any | 674 |
treatment or education
programs, in
addition to the required | 675 |
attendance at a drivers'
intervention
program, that the operators | 676 |
of the drivers'
intervention program
determine that the offender | 677 |
should attend
and to report
periodically to the court on the | 678 |
offender's progress
in the
programs. The court also may impose
any | 679 |
other conditions of
community control on the offender that it | 680 |
considers
necessary. | 681 |
(2) If, within
six years of the offense, the offender
has | 682 |
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to one violation of
section | 683 |
1547.11 of the Revised Code, of a municipal ordinance
relating to | 684 |
operating a watercraft or manipulating any water skis,
aquaplane, | 685 |
or similar device while under the influence of alcohol,
a drug of | 686 |
abuse, or
a combination of
them, of a municipal ordinance
relating | 687 |
to operating a watercraft
or manipulating any water
skis, | 688 |
aquaplane, or similar device with
a prohibited
concentration of | 689 |
alcohol, a controlled substance, or a metabolite of a controlled | 690 |
substance in the
whole blood,
blood
serum or plasma, breath, or | 691 |
urine, of division
(A)(1) of
section
2903.06 of the Revised Code, | 692 |
or of division
(A)(2), (3),
or (4) of
section 2903.06 of the | 693 |
Revised Code
or
section
2903.06 or
2903.07 of the Revised Code
as | 694 |
they existed prior to March 23,
2000, in a case in which
the jury | 695 |
or judge found that the offender
was under the influence
of | 696 |
alcohol, a drug of abuse, or
a combination of themor one other | 697 |
equivalent offense, the
court
shall
sentence the offender to a | 698 |
jail term
of
ten
consecutive
days and may sentence the offender | 699 |
pursuant to
section
2929.24 of
the Revised Code to a longer
jail | 700 |
term. In
addition,
the court shall impose upon the
offender a fine | 701 |
of not
less than
one hundred fifty nor more than
one thousand | 702 |
dollars. | 703 |
(3) If, within
six years of the offense, the offender
has | 708 |
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to more than one violation or | 709 |
offense
identified in
division (G)(2) of this section,
the court | 710 |
shall
sentence the offender to a
jail term
of thirty
consecutive | 711 |
days and may sentence the
offender to a longer
jail
term
of not | 712 |
more than one
year. In addition, the
court
shall impose upon the | 713 |
offender a
fine of not less than one
hundred
fifty nor more than | 714 |
one
thousand dollars. | 715 |
(4) Upon a showing that
serving a jail term
would seriously | 720 |
affect
the ability of an offender sentenced
pursuant to division | 721 |
(G)(1),
(2), or (3) of this section to
continue the offender's | 722 |
employment,
the court may authorize that
the offender be granted | 723 |
work release
after the
offender has served the
mandatory jail term | 724 |
of three, ten,
or
thirty consecutive days
that the court is | 725 |
required
by division (G)(1), (2), or (3) of this section to | 726 |
impose. No
court shall authorize work release
during the
mandatory | 727 |
jail term of
three, ten, or thirty consecutive days
that the
court | 728 |
is required by division (G)(1), (2),
or (3) of
this section
to | 729 |
impose. The duration of the work
release shall
not exceed the
time | 730 |
necessary each day for the
offender to
commute to and from
the | 731 |
place of employment and the
place
in which the jail term is served | 732 |
and the
time
actually spent under employment. | 733 |
(5) Notwithstanding any section of the Revised Code that | 734 |
authorizes the suspension of the imposition or execution of a | 735 |
sentence or the placement of an offender in any treatment program | 736 |
in lieu of
being imprisoned or serving a jail term,
no court shall | 737 |
suspend the
mandatory jail term of ten or thirty
consecutive days
| 738 |
required to be imposed by
division (G)(2) or (3) of this section | 739 |
or place an offender who
is
sentenced pursuant to division (G)(2) | 740 |
or (3) of this section
in
any treatment program in lieu of
being | 741 |
imprisoned or
serving a jail term until after the
offender has | 742 |
served the
mandatory jail term of ten or thirty consecutive days
| 743 |
required to be imposed pursuant to division (G)(2)
or
(3) of this | 744 |
section. Notwithstanding any section of the
Revised
Code that | 745 |
authorizes the suspension of the imposition or
execution
of a | 746 |
sentence or the placement of an offender in any
treatment
program | 747 |
in lieu of
being imprisoned or serving a jail
term, no court, | 748 |
except as
specifically
authorized by division
(G)(1) of this | 749 |
section, shall
suspend the
mandatory jail term of
three | 750 |
consecutive days
required to be
imposed by
division (G)(1) of this | 751 |
section or place an offender
who is
sentenced pursuant to division | 752 |
(G)(1) of this section in
any
treatment program in lieu of | 753 |
imprisonment until after the
offender
has served the
mandatory | 754 |
jail term of three consecutive days
required to
be imposed | 755 |
pursuant to division (G)(1) of
this
section. | 756 |
(H) Whoever violates section 1547.304 of the Revised Code
is | 762 |
guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree and also shall be | 763 |
assessed any costs incurred by the state or a county, township, | 764 |
municipal corporation, or other political subdivision in
disposing | 765 |
of an abandoned junk vessel or outboard motor, less any
money | 766 |
accruing to the state, county, township, municipal
corporation, or | 767 |
other political subdivision from that
disposal. | 768 |
(L) The sentencing court, in addition to the penalty
provided | 781 |
under this section for a violation of this chapter or a
rule | 782 |
adopted under it
that involves a powercraft powered by more
than | 783 |
ten horsepower and that, in
the opinion of the court,
involves a | 784 |
threat to the safety of persons or
property, shall
order the | 785 |
offender to complete successfully a boating course
approved by the | 786 |
national association of state boating law
administrators
before | 787 |
the offender is allowed to operate a
powercraft powered by more | 788 |
than
ten horsepower on the waters in
this state. Violation of a | 789 |
court order
entered under this
division is punishable as contempt | 790 |
under Chapter
2705. of the
Revised Code. | 791 |
Sec. 4503.231.
(A) No motor vehicle registered in the name | 792 |
of
a person whose certificate of registration and identification | 793 |
license plates have been impounded as provided by division
(B)(1) | 794 |
of section 4507.02 of the Revised Code, and no vehicle that may be | 795 |
operated pursuant to an immobilization waiver order issued | 796 |
pursuant to section 4503.235 of the Revised Code, shall be | 797 |
operated
on any
highway in this state unless it displays
| 798 |
restricted license
plates
that are a
different color from
those | 799 |
regularly issued and
carry a special
serial number that may
be | 800 |
readily identified by
law enforcement
officers. The registrar
of | 801 |
motor vehicles shall
designate the
color and serial number to
be | 802 |
used on
restricted
license
plates, which shall remain
the same | 803 |
from
year to year and
shall
not be displayed on any other motor | 804 |
vehicles. | 805 |
(B) If a person has been granted
limited driving privileges | 814 |
with a condition of the privileges
being that the person must | 815 |
display on the vehicle that is driven
under the privileges | 816 |
restricted license plates that are described
in this section, the | 817 |
person may operate a motor vehicle that is owned by the person's | 818 |
employer only if the
person is
required to operate that motor | 819 |
vehicle in the course and
scope of the
person's employment. Such a | 820 |
person may operate that
vehicle without
displaying on that vehicle | 821 |
restricted license
plates that are
issued under this section if | 822 |
the employer has been
notified that
the person has limited driving | 823 |
privileges and of the
nature of the
restriction and if the person | 824 |
has proof of the
employer's notification in the
person's | 825 |
possession
while operating
the employer's vehicle for normal | 826 |
business duties. A motor
vehicle owned by a
business that is | 827 |
partly or entirely owned or
controlled by the
person with the | 828 |
limited driving privileges is
not a motor vehicle
owned by an | 829 |
employer, for purposes of this
division. | 830 |
Sec. 4503.233. (A)(1)
If a court ordersis required to order | 833 |
the
immobilization of
a
vehicle for a specified period of time | 834 |
pursuant to
section
4510.11,
4510.14,
4510.16, 4510.161,
4510.41, | 835 |
4511.19,
4511.193,
or
4511.203
of the Revised Code, the court, | 836 |
subject to section 4503.235 of the Revised Code,
shall issue
the | 837 |
immobilization
order
in
accordance with this division and for
the | 838 |
period of time
specified
in the particular
section, and
the | 839 |
immobilization
under
the order shall be in accordance with this | 840 |
section. The court, at
the time of sentencing the offender for
the | 841 |
offense relative to
which the immobilization order is issued
or as | 842 |
soon thereafter as
is practicable, shall give a copy of the
order | 843 |
to the offender or
the offender's counsel. The court
promptly | 844 |
shall send a copy of
the
order
to the registrar on a form | 845 |
prescribed
by the registrar
and
to the
person or agency it | 846 |
designates to execute the
order. | 847 |
(5) The registrar shall deposit the immobilization fee
into | 897 |
the law
enforcement reimbursement fund created by section
4501.19 | 898 |
of the Revised
Code. Money in the fund shall be expended
only as | 899 |
provided in division
(A)(5) of this section. If the
court | 900 |
designated in the
order a court bailiff or another
appropriate | 901 |
person other than a
law enforcement officer to
immobilize the | 902 |
vehicle, the amount of the
fee deposited into the
law enforcement | 903 |
reimbursement fund shall
be paid out to the county
treasury if the | 904 |
court that issued the order
is a county court, to
the treasury of | 905 |
the municipal corporation
served by the court if
the court that | 906 |
issued the order is a
mayor's court, or to the city
treasury of | 907 |
the legislative
authority of the court, both as
defined in section | 908 |
1901.03 of the
Revised Code, if the court that
issued the order is | 909 |
a municipal
court. If the court designated a
law enforcement | 910 |
agency to
immobilize the vehicle and if the law
enforcement agency | 911 |
immobilizes the
vehicle, the amount of the fee
deposited into the | 912 |
law enforcement
reimbursement fund shall be
paid out to the law | 913 |
enforcement agency
to reimburse the agency for
the costs it incurs | 914 |
in
obtaining immobilization equipment and, if
required, in sending | 915 |
an officer or other person to search for and
locate the vehicle | 916 |
specified in the immobilization order and to
immobilize the | 917 |
vehicle. | 918 |
(B) If a court issues an immobilization
order under division | 923 |
(A)(1) of this section, the person or
agency designated by the | 924 |
court to execute the immobilization order
promptly shall | 925 |
immobilize or continue the immobilization of the
vehicle at the | 926 |
place specified by the court in the order. The registrar shall
not | 927 |
authorize the release of the vehicle or authorize the issuance
of | 928 |
new
identification license plates for the vehicle at the
end of | 929 |
the immobilization period until the immobilization
fee has been | 930 |
paid. | 931 |
(C) Upon receipt of the license plates for a vehicle under | 932 |
this section, the
registrar shall destroy the license plates. At | 933 |
the end
of the immobilization period and upon the payment of the | 934 |
immobilization fee
that must be paid under this section, the | 935 |
registrar shall authorize the
release of the vehicle
and authorize | 936 |
the issuance, upon the payment of the same fee as
is required for | 937 |
the replacement of lost, mutilated, or destroyed
license plates | 938 |
and certificates of registration,
of new license plates and, if | 939 |
necessary, a new
certificate of registration to the
offender for | 940 |
the vehicle
in question. | 941 |
(D)(1) If a court issues an immobilization order under | 942 |
division (A) of this
section, the immobilization period
commences | 943 |
on the day on which the vehicle in question is
immobilized. If
the | 944 |
vehicle in question had been seized under section
4510.41
or | 945 |
4511.195 of the Revised Code, the time between the
seizure and the | 946 |
beginning of the immobilization period shall be
credited
against | 947 |
the immobilization period
specified in the
immobilization order | 948 |
issued under
division (A) of this section.
No
vehicle that is
| 949 |
immobilized
under this section is
eligible to have
restricted | 950 |
license plates
under section 4503.231 of the Revised Code issued | 951 |
for
that vehicle. | 952 |
(2) If a court issues an immobilization order under division | 953 |
(A) of this
section, if the vehicle
subject to the order is | 954 |
immobilized under the order, and if the
vehicle is found being | 955 |
operated upon any street or highway of
this state during the | 956 |
immobilization period, it
shall be seized, removed from the street | 957 |
or highway, and criminally
forfeited, and disposed of pursuant to | 958 |
section
4503.234 of the Revised Code. No vehicle that is
forfeited | 959 |
under
this provision shall be considered contraband for
purposes | 960 |
of
Chapter 2981. of the Revised
Code, but
shall be held by the law | 961 |
enforcement agency that employs
the
officer who seized it for | 962 |
disposal in accordance with section
4503.234 of the Revised Code. | 963 |
(3) If a court issues an immobilization order under division | 964 |
(A) of this
section, and if the vehicle is not
claimed within | 965 |
seven days after the end of the period of
immobilization or if the
| 966 |
offender has not paid the
immobilization fee, the
person or agency | 967 |
that immobilized
the vehicle shall send a written
notice to the
| 968 |
offender at the
offender's last
known address informing
the
| 969 |
offender
of the date on which the period of
immobilization
ended, | 970 |
that the
offender has twenty days
after the date of the
notice
to | 971 |
pay the immobilization fee and
obtain the release of the
vehicle, | 972 |
and that if
the
offender does not pay the
fee and obtain the | 973 |
release of the vehicle within that twenty-day
period, the vehicle | 974 |
will be forfeited under section 4503.234 of
the Revised
Code to | 975 |
the entity that is entitled to the
immobilization fee. | 976 |
(4) An
offender whose motor vehicle
is
subject to an | 977 |
immobilization order issued under division (A)
of
this section | 978 |
shall not sell the motor vehicle without approval
of
the court | 979 |
that issued the order. If such an
offender wishes
to sell the | 980 |
motor vehicle during the
immobilization
period, the
offender
shall | 981 |
apply to the court that
issued the
immobilization order for | 982 |
permission to assign the title to the
vehicle. If the court
is | 983 |
satisfied that the sale will be in good
faith and not for the | 984 |
purpose of
circumventing the provisions of
division (A)(1) of this | 985 |
section, it may certify its consent to
the
offender and to
the | 986 |
registrar. Upon
receipt of the
court's consent, the registrar | 987 |
shall enter the court's notice
in
the
offender's vehicle license | 988 |
plate registration
record. | 989 |
If, during a period of immobilization under an immobilization | 990 |
order issued
under division (A) of this section, the title to the | 991 |
immobilized motor
vehicle is transferred by the foreclosure of a | 992 |
chattel mortgage, a sale upon execution, the cancellation of a | 993 |
conditional sales contract, or an order of a court, the involved | 994 |
court shall notify the registrar of the
action, and the registrar | 995 |
shall enter the court's notice in the
offender's
vehicle
license | 996 |
plate registration record. | 997 |
(5) If the title to a motor vehicle that is subject to an | 1002 |
immobilization order under division (A) of this
section is | 1003 |
assigned or transferred without court approval between
the time of | 1004 |
arrest of the
offender who committed the offense for which such
an | 1005 |
order is to
be issued
and the time of the actual immobilization
of | 1006 |
the
vehicle, the court
shall order that, for a period of two
years | 1007 |
from the date of the
order, neither the registrar nor any
deputy | 1008 |
registrar shall
accept an application for the registration
of any | 1009 |
motor vehicle
in the name of the
offender whose
vehicle
was | 1010 |
assigned or
transferred without court approval.
The court
shall | 1011 |
notify the
registrar of the order on a form
prescribed by
the | 1012 |
registrar for
that purpose. | 1013 |
(6) If the title to a motor vehicle that is subject to an | 1014 |
immobilization order under division (A) of this section is | 1015 |
assigned or transferred without court approval in violation of | 1016 |
division (D)(4) of this section, then, in addition to or | 1017 |
independent of any other penalty established by law, the court may | 1018 |
fine the offender the value of the vehicle as determined by | 1019 |
publications of the national auto dealers association. The | 1020 |
proceeds from any fine so imposed shall be distributed in the same | 1021 |
manner as the proceeds of the sale of a forfeited vehicle are | 1022 |
distributed pursuant to division (C)(2) of section 4503.234 of the | 1023 |
Revised Code. | 1024 |
(E)(1) The court with jurisdiction over the case, after | 1025 |
notice to all interested parties including lienholders, and after | 1026 |
an opportunity for them to be heard, if the
offender
fails
to | 1027 |
appear in person, without good cause, or if the court
finds
that | 1028 |
the
offender does not intend to seek
release
of the
vehicle at
the | 1029 |
end of the period of immobilization
or that the
offender is
not or | 1030 |
will not be able to
pay the
expenses and
charges incurred
in its | 1031 |
removal and storage,
may order that title
to the vehicle be | 1032 |
transferred, in order of
priority, first into
the name of the | 1033 |
entity entitled to the
immobilization fee under
division (A)(5) of | 1034 |
this section, next
into the name of a
lienholder, or lastly, into | 1035 |
the name of the
owner of the place of
storage. | 1036 |
A lienholder that receives title under a
court order shall do | 1037 |
so on the condition that it pay any expenses or
charges incurred | 1038 |
in the vehicle's removal and storage. If the entity that
receives | 1039 |
title to the vehicle is the entity that is entitled to the | 1040 |
immobilization fee under division (A)(5) of this section,
it
shall | 1041 |
receive title on the condition that it pay any lien on the | 1042 |
vehicle.
The court shall not order that title be transferred to | 1043 |

spouse and the driving-age child or children who are permitted to | 1142 |
operate the vehicle must display on the vehicle to which the order | 1143 |
applies restricted license plates that are issued under section | 1144 |

first year of the
suspension, the
court may authorize the offender | 1421 |
to continue
exercising the
privileges in vehicles that are not | 1422 |
equipped with
immobilizing or
disabling devices that monitor the | 1423 |
offender's
alcohol consumption,
except as provided in division (C) | 1424 |
of section
4510.43 of the
Revised Code. If the offender does not | 1425 |
petition for
limited
driving privileges until after the first year | 1426 |
of
suspension, the
judge may grant limited driving privileges | 1427 |
without
requiring the
use of an immobilizing or disabling device | 1428 |
that
monitors the
offender's alcohol consumption. | 1429 |
(e) The first year of a suspension imposed under division | 1430 |
(G)(1)(b) or (c) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code or a | 1431 |
comparable length suspension imposed under section 4510.07 of the | 1432 |
Revised Code. The judge may grant limited driving privileges after | 1433 |
the first year of suspension and, at the time of granting the | 1434 |
privileges, also may issue an order prohibiting the offender from | 1435 |
operating any motor vehicle for the period of suspension following | 1436 |
the first year of suspension unless the motor vehicle is equipped | 1437 |
with an immobilizing or disabling device that monitors the | 1438 |
offender's alcohol consumption, except as provided in division (C) | 1439 |
of section 4510.43 of the Revised Code. | 1440 |
(f) The first three years of a suspension imposed under | 1441 |
division
(G)(1)(d) or (e) of section 4511.19
of the Revised Code | 1442 |
or a
comparable length suspension imposed under section 4510.07 of | 1443 |
the Revised Code, or of a
suspension imposed under
division | 1444 |
(C)(1)(d) of section 4511.191 of the
Revised Code. The
judge may | 1445 |
grant limited driving privileges after the first three
years of | 1446 |
suspension only if the judge, at the time of granting the | 1447 |
privileges, also issues an order prohibiting the offender from | 1448 |
operating any motor vehicle, for the period of suspension | 1449 |
following the first three years of suspension, unless the motor | 1450 |
vehicle is equipped with an immobilizing or disabling device that | 1451 |
monitors the offender's alcohol consumption, except as provided in | 1452 |
division
(C) of section 4510.43 of the Revised Code. | 1453 |
(7) In any case in which a judge or mayor grants limited | 1467 |
driving
privileges to an offender whose driver's or commercial | 1468 |
driver's license
or permit or nonresident operating privilege has | 1469 |
been suspended under
division (G)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e) of | 1470 |
section 4511.19 of the
Revised Code, under division (G)(1)(a) of | 1471 |
section 4511.19 of the Revised Code for a violation of division | 1472 |
(A)(1)(f), (g), (h), or (i) of that section, or under
section | 1473 |
4510.07 of the Revised Code for a
municipal OVI
conviction for | 1474 |
which sentence would have been imposed under division | 1475 |
(G)(1)(a)(ii) or (G)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e) of section 4511.19 of | 1476 |
the Revised Code had the offender been charged with and convicted | 1477 |
of a violation of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code instead of a | 1478 |
violation of the municipal OVI ordinance, the judge or mayor shall | 1479 |
impose as a
condition of the privileges
that the offender must | 1480 |
display on the
vehicle that is driven subject to the
privileges | 1481 |
restricted
license plates that are issued under section 4503.231 | 1482 |
of the
Revised Code, except

during which the suspension otherwise would be imposed.
However, | 1494 |
the court shall not grant the privileges for
employment as a | 1495 |
driver of a commercial motor vehicle to any person
who is | 1496 |
disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle
under | 1497 |
section 4506.16 of the Revised Code or during any of
the
periods | 1498 |

provision of
Chapter 2925. of the Revised | 1504 |
Code, or section
4510.07
of the Revised Code for a violation of a | 1505 |
municipal
OVI ordinance,
the judge of the
court or
mayor of the | 1506 |
mayor's court that
suspended the license, permit, or privilege | 1507 |

offender to deliver to the court
the license or | 1508 |
permit. The
judge, mayor, or clerk of the court or
mayor's court | 1509 |
shall
forward
to the registrar the license or permit together with | 1510 |
notice of the
action of the court. | 1511 |
(2) A suspension of a commercial driver's license under any | 1512 |
section or chapter identified in division (C)(1) of this section | 1513 |
shall be concurrent with any period of suspension or | 1514 |
disqualification under
section 3123.58 or 4506.16 of the Revised | 1515 |
Code. No person
who is
disqualified for life from holding a | 1516 |

2929.02 of the Revised Code. | 1531 |
(D) The judge of the court or mayor of the mayor's court | 1532 |
shall
credit any time during which an offender was subject to an | 1533 |
administrative
suspension of the offender's driver's or commercial | 1534 |

section. The court
shall provide the offender with a copy of an | 1551 |
immobilizing or disabling
device order issued under section | 1552 |
4510.43 of the Revised
Code, and the offender shall use the copy | 1553 |
of the order
in lieu of an Ohio driver's or

upon the face of the license. | 1573 |
Sec. 4510.43. (A)(1)
The director of public safety, upon | 1574 |
consultation with the director of health and in accordance with | 1575 |
Chapter 119. of the Revised Code,
shall certify immobilizing and | 1576 |
disabling devices and shall publish and make
available to the | 1577 |
courts, without charge, a list of
approved devices together with | 1578 |
information about the manufacturers
of the devices and where they | 1579 |
may be obtained. The manufacturer of an
immobilizing or disabling | 1580 |
device shall pay the cost of
obtaining the certification of the | 1581 |
device
to the director of
public safety, and the director shall | 1582 |
deposit the payment in the drivers'
treatment and
intervention | 1583 |
fund established by sections 4511.19 and 4511.191 of
the Revised | 1584 |
Code. | 1585 |
(2) The director of public safety, in accordance with
Chapter | 1586 |
119. of the Revised Code, shall adopt and publish rules
setting | 1587 |
forth the requirements for obtaining the certification of
an | 1588 |
immobilizing or disabling device. The director of public
safety | 1589 |
shall not
certify an immobilizing or disabling
device under
this | 1590 |
section unless it meets the requirements specified and
published | 1591 |
by the director in the rules adopted pursuant to this
division. A | 1592 |
certified device may consist of an
ignition interlock
device, an | 1593 |
ignition blocking device initiated
by time or magnetic
or | 1594 |
electronic encoding, an activity monitor,
or any other device
that | 1595 |
reasonably assures compliance with an
order granting limited | 1596 |
driving privileges. | 1597 |
The requirements for an immobilizing or disabling device that | 1598 |
is
an ignition interlock device shall require that the | 1599 |
manufacturer of the device submit to the department of public | 1600 |
safety a certificate from an independent testing laboratory | 1601 |
indicating that the device meets or exceeds the standards of the | 1602 |
national highway traffic safety administration, as defined in | 1603 |
section 4511.19 of the Revised Code, that are in effect at the | 1604 |
time of the director's decision regarding certification of the | 1605 |
device, shall include provisions for
setting a
minimum and maximum | 1606 |
calibration range, and shall include,
but shall not
be limited to, | 1607 |
specifications that the device
complies with all of
the following: | 1608 |
(4) The director of public safety shall adopt rules in | 1634 |
accordance
with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code for the
design of | 1635 |
a warning
label that shall be affixed to each immobilizing or | 1636 |
disabling
device upon installation. The label shall contain a | 1637 |
warning that
any person tampering, circumventing, or otherwise | 1638 |
misusing the
device is subject to a fine, imprisonment, or both | 1639 |
and may be
subject to civil liability. | 1640 |
(B)
A court considering the use of a prototype device in a | 1641 |
pilot
program shall advise the director of public safety, thirty | 1642 |
days before the
use, of the prototype device and its protocol, | 1643 |
methodology, manufacturer, and licensor, lessor, other agent, or | 1644 |
owner, and the length of the court's pilot program. A prototype | 1645 |
device shall not be used for a violation of section 4510.14
or | 1646 |
4511.19 of the Revised Code, a violation of a municipal OVI | 1647 |
ordinance, or in relation to a
suspension
imposed under section | 1648 |
4511.191 of the Revised
Code. A court that
uses a prototype
device | 1649 |
in a pilot program,
periodically during
the existence of
the | 1650 |
program and within fourteen days
after
termination of the
program, | 1651 |
shall report in writing to the
director of
public safety
regarding | 1652 |
the effectiveness of the
prototype device and the
program. | 1653 |
(C)
If a person has been
granted limited driving privileges | 1654 |
with a condition of the privileges being
that the motor vehicle | 1655 |
that is
operated under the privileges must be equipped with an | 1656 |
immobilizing or
disabling device, the person may operate a motor | 1657 |
vehicle that is owned by the person's employer only if the
person | 1658 |
is
required to operate that motor vehicle
in the course and
scope | 1659 |
of the offender's employment. Such a person may operate
that | 1660 |
vehicle without the installation of an immobilizing or
disabling | 1661 |
device, provided that the employer has been notified
that the | 1662 |
person has limited driving privileges and of the nature
of the | 1663 |
restriction and further provided that the person has proof of the | 1664 |
employer's
notification in the person's possession while
operating | 1665 |
the
employer's vehicle for normal business duties. A
motor vehicle | 1666 |
owned by a business that is partly or entirely owned
or controlled | 1667 |
by a person with limited driving privileges is
not a motor vehicle | 1668 |
owned by an employer, for purposes of this
division. | 1669 |
(5) A violation of division (A)(2), (3), or (4) of section | 1682 |
2903.06, division (A)(2) of section 2903.08, or former section | 1683 |
2903.07
of the Revised Code, or a municipal ordinance that is | 1684 |
substantially equivalent to any of
those divisions or that former | 1685 |
section, in a case in which a judge or jury as
the trier of fact | 1686 |
found that the offender was under the influence of alcohol, a drug | 1687 |
of
abuse, or a combination of them; | 1688 |
(7) A violation of a municipal ordinance prohibiting a person | 1691 |
from operating or being in physical control of any vessel underway | 1692 |
or from manipulating any water skis, aquaplane, or similar device | 1693 |
on the waters of this state while under the influence of alcohol, | 1694 |
a drug of abuse, or a combination of them or prohibiting a person | 1695 |
from operating or being in physical control of any vessel underway | 1696 |
or from manipulating any water skis, aquaplane, or similar device | 1697 |
on the waters of this state with a prohibited concentration of | 1698 |
alcohol, a controlled substance, or a metabolite of a controlled | 1699 |
substance in the whole blood, blood serum or plasma, breath, or | 1700 |
urine; | 1701 |
(C)
"Municipal OVI ordinance" and "municipal
OVI offense" | 1721 |
mean any
municipal ordinance prohibiting a person from operating a | 1722 |
vehicle while under
the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or | 1723 |
a combination of them or
prohibiting
a person from operating a | 1724 |
vehicle with a prohibited concentration
of alcohol, a controlled | 1725 |
substance, or a metabolite of a controlled substance in the whole | 1726 |
blood, blood serum or plasma, breath, or
urine. | 1727 |
(I) The person is under the influence of alcohol, a drug of | 1829 |
abuse, or a combination of them, and, as measured by gas | 1830 |
chromatography mass spectrometry, the person has a concentration | 1831 |
of marihuana metabolite in the person's urine of at least fifteen | 1832 |
nanograms of marihuana metabolite per milliliter of the person's | 1833 |
urine or has a concentration of marihuana metabolite in the | 1834 |
person's whole blood or blood serum or plasma of at least five | 1835 |
nanograms of marihuana metabolite per milliliter of the person's | 1836 |
whole blood or blood serum or plasma. | 1837 |
(b) Subsequent to being arrested for operating the vehicle, | 1867 |
streetcar, or trackless trolley as described in division (A)(2)(a) | 1868 |
of this section, being asked by a law enforcement officer to | 1869 |
submit to a chemical test or tests under section 4511.191 of the | 1870 |
Revised Code, and being advised by the officer in accordance with | 1871 |
section 4511.192 of the Revised Code of the consequences of the | 1872 |
person's refusal or submission to the test or tests, refuse to | 1873 |
submit to the test or tests. | 1874 |
(D)(1)(a) In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court | 1897 |
proceeding for a violation of division (A)(1)(a) of this section | 1898 |
or for an equivalent offense that is vehicle-related, the result | 1899 |
of any test of any blood or urine withdrawn and analyzed at any | 1900 |
health care provider, as defined in section 2317.02 of the Revised | 1901 |
Code, may be admitted with expert testimony to be considered with | 1902 |
any other relevant and competent evidence in determining the guilt | 1903 |
or innocence of the defendant. | 1904 |
(b) In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court
proceeding | 1905 |
for a violation of
division (A) or (B) of this section
or for an | 1906 |
equivalent
offense that is vehicle-related, the court may admit | 1907 |
evidence on the
concentration of
alcohol, drugs of abuse, | 1908 |
controlled substances, metabolites of a controlled substance, or
a | 1909 |
combination of
them in the
defendant's
whole blood,
blood serum or | 1910 |
plasma,
breath, urine, or
other bodily
substance at the time of | 1911 |
the
alleged violation as
shown by
chemical analysis of the
| 1912 |
substance
withdrawn within
three hours of
the time of
the alleged | 1913 |
violation. The three-hour time limit specified in this division | 1914 |
regarding the admission of evidence does not extend or affect the | 1915 |
two-hour time limit specified in division (A) of section 4511.192 | 1916 |
of the Revised Code as the maximum period of time during which a | 1917 |
person may consent to a chemical test or tests as described in | 1918 |
that section. The court may admit evidence on the concentration of | 1919 |
alcohol, drugs of abuse, or a combination of them as described in | 1920 |
this division when a person submits to a blood, breath, urine, or | 1921 |
other bodily substance test at the request of a
law enforcement | 1922 |
officer under section 4511.191 of the
Revised
Code or a blood or | 1923 |
urine sample is obtained pursuant to a search warrant. Only a | 1924 |
physician, a registered nurse, or a qualified
technician,
chemist, | 1925 |
or phlebotomist shall withdraw a blood sample for
the
purpose of | 1926 |
determining
the
alcohol, drug, controlled substance, metabolite of | 1927 |
a controlled substance, or
combination content
of the whole | 1928 |
blood, blood serum,
or blood plasma.
This
limitation does
not | 1929 |
apply to the taking of breath or urine
specimens. A
person | 1930 |
authorized to withdraw blood under
this
division may
refuse to | 1931 |
withdraw blood
under this division, if in
that person's
opinion, | 1932 |
the physical welfare of
the person would
be
endangered by the | 1933 |
withdrawing of blood. | 1934 |
(2) In a criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding | 1940 |
for a violation of division (A) of this section
or for an | 1941 |
equivalent offense that is vehicle-related, if there was at the | 1942 |
time the
bodily substance
was
withdrawn a concentration of less | 1943 |
than
the
applicable
concentration of alcohol specified in | 1944 |
divisions (A)(1)(b), (c), (d), and (e) of this section or less | 1945 |
than the applicable concentration of a listed controlled substance | 1946 |
or a listed metabolite of a controlled substance specified for a | 1947 |
violation of division (A)(1)(j) of this section, that fact
may be | 1948 |
considered
with other
competent evidence
in determining the guilt | 1949 |
or
innocence of the
defendant. This
division does not limit or | 1950 |
affect a criminal
prosecution or
juvenile court proceeding for a | 1951 |
violation of
division (B) of this
section or
for an equivalent | 1952 |
offense that
is
substantially
equivalent to
that
division. | 1953 |
If the chemical test was obtained pursuant to division | 1958 |
(D)(1)(b) of this section, the person tested may have a physician, | 1959 |
a registered nurse,
or a qualified technician, chemist,
or | 1960 |
phlebotomist of the
person's own
choosing administer a chemical | 1961 |
test or tests,
at the
person's
expense, in addition to any | 1962 |
administered at the request
of a
law enforcement
officer.
TheIf | 1963 |
the person was under arrest as described in division (A)(5) of | 1964 |
section 4511.191 of the Revised Code, the arresting officer shall | 1965 |
advise the person at the time of the arrest that the person may | 1966 |
have an independent chemical test taken at the person's own | 1967 |
expense. If the person was not under arrest as described in | 1968 |
division (A)(5) of section 4511.191 of the Revised Code, the form | 1969 |
to be read to the person
to be tested, as required
under
section | 1970 |
4511.192 of the Revised
Code, shall state that the person
may have | 1971 |
an
independent test
performed at the person's expense.
The failure | 1972 |
or
inability to
obtain an additional
chemical test by
a person | 1973 |
shall not preclude
the admission of
evidence relating to
the | 1974 |
chemical test or tests
taken at the
request of a
law
enforcement | 1975 |
officer. | 1976 |
(b) In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding | 1982 |
for a violation of division (A) or (B) of this section, of a | 1983 |
municipal ordinance relating to operating a vehicle while under | 1984 |
the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or alcohol and a drug | 1985 |
of abuse, or of a municipal ordinance relating to operating a | 1986 |
vehicle with a prohibited concentration of alcohol, a controlled | 1987 |
substance, or a metabolite of a controlled substance in the whole | 1988 |
blood, blood serum or plasma,
breath, or urine, if a law | 1989 |
enforcement officer has administered a
field sobriety test to the | 1990 |
operator of the vehicle involved in the
violation and if it is | 1991 |
shown by clear and convincing evidence that
the officer | 1992 |
administered the test in substantial
compliance with
the testing | 1993 |
standards for any reliable, credible,
and generally
accepted field | 1994 |
sobriety
tests that were in effect at
the time the
tests were | 1995 |
administered, including, but not limited
to, any
testing standards | 1996 |
then in effect that were set by the
national
highway traffic | 1997 |
safety administration, all
of the
following apply: | 1998 |
(E)(1)
Subject to division (E)(3) of
this section,
in any | 2017 |
criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding for a

while under the influence of a listed controlled substance or a | 3272 |
listed metabolite of a controlled substance under state or | 3273 |
municipal law within the preceding twenty years, you now are under | 3274 |
arrest for state OVI, and, if you refuse to take a chemical test, | 3275 |
you will face increased penalties if you subsequently are | 3276 |
convicted of the state OVI. | 3277 |
