municipal ordinance and if the person previously has been 432
convicted of or pleaded guilty to two or more violations of 433
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
give the person the form described in division (C) of this 445
section, but the officer shall advise the person at the time of 446
the arrest that the person may have an independent chemical test 447
taken. Divisions (A)(1)(b) and (A)(2) of this section apply to the 448
administration of a chemical test or tests pursuant to this 449
division.450

        (2) If a person refuses to submit to a chemical test upon a 451
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

       (C) AnyExcept as provided in division (B) of this section, 463
any person under arrest for violating section 1547.11 of the 464
Revised Code or a substantially equivalent municipal ordinance 465
shall be advised of the consequences of refusing to submit to a466
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
the chief of the division of watercraft and shall be read to the 469
person. The form shall contain a statement that the form was shown 470
to the person under arrest and read to the person by the arresting 471
officer. The reading of the form shall be witnessed by one or more472
persons, and the witnesses shall certify to this fact by signing473
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, if480
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 as483
provided in division (A) of this section, if the arresting officer484
advises the person of the consequences of the person's refusal as485
provided in division (C) of this section, and if the person486
refuses to submit, no chemical test shall be given. Upon receipt 487
of a sworn statement of the officer that the 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 person491
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 the496
person is prohibited from operating or being in physical control 497
of a vessel, from manipulating any water skis, aquaplane, or498
similar device, and 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 these501
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 vessel505
involved in the alleged violation, the law enforcement officer who506
arrested the person shall seize the watercraft registration507
certificate and tags from the vessel involved in the violation and508
forward them to the chief. The chief shall retain the impounded509
registration certificate and tags and shall impound all other510
registration certificates and tags issued to the person in511
accordance with sections 1547.54 and 1547.57 of the Revised Code,512
for a period of one year following the date of the alleged513
violation, subject to review as provided in this section.514

       If the arrested person fails to surrender the registration515
certificate because it is not on the person of the arrested person516
or in the watercraft, the law enforcement officer who made the517
arrest shall order the person to surrender it within twenty-four518
hours to the law enforcement officer or the law enforcement agency519
that employs the law enforcement officer. If the person fails to520
do so, the law enforcement officer shall notify the chief of that521
fact in the statement the officer submits to the chief under this522
division.523

       (E) Upon suspending a person's operation, physical control, 524
manipulation, and registration privileges in accordance with525
division (D) of this section, the chief shall notify the person in526
writing, at the person's last known address, and inform the person527
that the person may petition for a hearing in accordance with528
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 adverse531
decision, the suspension shall begin at the termination of any532
hearing or appeal unless the hearing or appeal results in a533
decision favorable to the person.534

       (F) Any person who has been notified by the chief that the535
person is prohibited from operating or being in physical control536
of a vessel or manipulating any water skis, aquaplane, or similar537
device and from registering any watercraft in accordance with 538
section 1547.54 of the Revised Code, or who has had the539
registration certificate and tags of the person's watercraft540
impounded pursuant to division (D) of this section, within twenty541
days of the notification or impoundment, may file a petition in542
the municipal court or the county court, or if the person is a543
minor in juvenile court, with jurisdiction over the place at which 544
the arrest occurred, agreeing to pay the cost of the proceedings 545
and alleging error in the action taken by the chief under division 546
(D) of this section or alleging one or more of the matters within 547
the scope of the hearing as provided in this section, or both. The548
petitioner shall notify the chief of the filing of the petition549
and send the chief a copy of the petition.550

       The scope of the hearing is limited to the issues of whether551
the law enforcement officer had reasonable grounds to believe the552
petitioner was operating or in physical control of a vessel or 553
manipulating any water skis, aquaplane, or similar device in554
violation of section 1547.11 of the Revised Code or a555
substantially equivalent municipal ordinance, whether the556
petitioner was placed under arrest, whether the petitioner refused557
to submit to the chemical test upon request of the officer, and558
whether the petitioner was advised of the consequences of the559
petitioner's refusal.560

       (G)(1) The chief shall furnish the court a copy of the561
affidavit as provided in division (C) of this section and any562
other relevant information requested by the court.563

       (2) In hearing the matter and in determining whether the564
person has shown error in the decision taken by the chief as565
provided in division (D) of this section, the court shall decide566
the issue upon the relevant, competent, and material evidence567
submitted by the chief or the person whose operation, physical568
control, manipulation, and registration privileges have been569
suspended.570

       In the proceedings, the chief shall be represented by the571
prosecuting attorney of the county in which the petition is filed572
if the petition is filed in a county court or juvenile court,573
except that if the arrest occurred within a city or village within574
the jurisdiction of the county court in which the petition is575
filed, the city director of law or village solicitor of that city576
or village shall represent the chief. If the petition is filed in577
the municipal court, the chief shall be represented as provided in578
section 1901.34 of the Revised Code.579

       (3) If the court finds from the evidence submitted that the580
person has failed to show error in the action taken by the chief581
under division (D) of this section or in one or more of the582
matters within the scope of the hearing as provided in division583
(F) of this section, or both, the court shall assess the cost of584
the proceeding against the person and shall uphold the suspension585
of the operation, physical control, use, and registration586
privileges provided in division (D) of this section. If the court587
finds that the person has shown error in the action taken by the588
chief under division (D) of this section or in one or more of the589
matters within the scope of the hearing as provided in division590
(F) of this section, or both, the cost of the proceedings shall be591
paid out of the county treasury of the county in which the592
proceedings were held, the chief shall reinstate the operation,593
physical control, manipulation, and registration privileges of the594
person without charge, and the chief shall return the registration595
certificate and tags, if impounded, without charge.596

       (4) The court shall give information in writing of any action 597
taken under this section to the chief.598

       (H) At the end of any period of suspension or impoundment599
imposed under this section, and upon request of the person whose600
operation, physical control, use, and registration privileges were601
suspended or whose registration certificate and tags were602
impounded, the chief shall reinstate the person's operation,603
physical control, manipulation, and registration privileges by604
written notice and return the certificate and tags.605

       (I) No person who has received written notice from the chief606
that the person is prohibited from operating or being in physical607

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

of the third degree.774

       (K) Whoever violates section 1547.05 or 1547.051 of the775
Revised Code is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree if776
the violation is not related to a collision, injury to a person,777
or damage to property and a misdemeanor of the third degree if the778

entity or person, has given express written consent for the866
immobilization to be carried out at that place.867

       (iv) The place is a public street or highway on which the868
vehicle is parked in accordance with the law.869

       (c) The person or agency designated by the court to execute870
the order, which shall be either the law enforcement agency that871
employs the law enforcement officer who seized the vehicle, a872
bailiff of the court, another person the court determines to be873
appropriate to execute the order, or the law enforcement agency874
with jurisdiction over the place of residence of the vehicle875
owner;876

       (d) That neither the registrar nor a deputy registrar will be 877
permitted to accept an application for the license plate878
registration of any motor vehicle in the name of the vehicle owner879
until the immobilization fee is paid.880

       (2) The person or agency the court designates to immobilize881
the vehicle shall seize or retain that vehicle's license plates882
and forward them to the bureau of motor vehicles.883

       (3) In all cases, the offender shall be assessed an884
immobilization fee of one hundred dollars, and the immobilization885
fee shall be paid to the registrar before the vehicle may be886
released to the offender. Neither the registrar nor a deputy887
registrar shall accept an application for the registration of any888
motor vehicle in the name of the offender until the immobilization 889
fee is paid.890

       (4) If the vehicle subject to the order is immobilized891
pursuant to the order and is found being operated upon any street892
or highway in this state during the immobilization period, it893
shall be seized, removed from the street or highway, and894
criminally forfeited and disposed of pursuant to section 4503.234895
of the Revised Code.896

       (5) The registrar shall deposit the immobilization fee into897
the law enforcement reimbursement fund created by section 4501.19898
of the Revised Code. Money in the fund shall be expended only as899
provided in division (A)(5) of this section. If the court900
designated in the order a court bailiff or another appropriate901
person other than a law enforcement officer to immobilize the902
vehicle, the amount of the fee deposited into the law enforcement903
reimbursement fund shall be paid out to the county treasury if the904
court that issued the order is a county court, to the treasury of905
the municipal corporation served by the court if the court that906
issued the order is a mayor's court, or to the city treasury of907
the legislative authority of the court, both as defined in section908
1901.03 of the Revised Code, if the court that issued the order is909

immobilizes the vehicle, the amount of the fee deposited into the912
law enforcement reimbursement fund shall be paid out to the law913
enforcement agency to reimburse the agency for the costs it incurs914
in obtaining immobilization equipment and, if required, in sending915
an officer or other person to search for and locate the vehicle916
specified in the immobilization order and to immobilize the917
vehicle.918

       In addition to the immobilization fee required to be paid919
under division (A)(3) of this section, the offender may be charged 920
expenses or charges incurred in the removal and storage of the921
immobilized vehicle.922

       (B) If a court issues an immobilization order under division923
(A)(1) of this section, the person or agency designated by the924
court to execute the immobilization order promptly shall925
immobilize or continue the immobilization of the vehicle at the926
place specified by the court in the order. The registrar shall not 927

new identification license plates for the vehicle at the end of929
the immobilization period until the immobilization fee has been930
paid.931

       (C) Upon receipt of the license plates for a vehicle under932
this section, the registrar shall destroy the license plates. At933
the end of the immobilization period and upon the payment of the934
immobilization fee that must be paid under this section, the935
registrar shall authorize the release of the vehicle and authorize936
the issuance, upon the payment of the same fee as is required for937
the replacement of lost, mutilated, or destroyed license plates938
and certificates of registration, of new license plates and, if939
necessary, a new certificate of registration to the offender for940
the vehicle in question.941

       (D)(1) If a court issues an immobilization order under942
division (A) of this section, the immobilization period commences943
on the day on which the vehicle in question is immobilized. If the944
vehicle in question had been seized under section 4510.41 or945
4511.195 of the Revised Code, the time between the seizure and the946
beginning of the immobilization period shall be credited against947
the immobilization period specified in the immobilization order948
issued under division (A) of this section. No vehicle that is 949
immobilized under this section is eligible to have restricted950
license plates under section 4503.231 of the Revised Code issued951
for that vehicle.952

       (2) If a court issues an immobilization order under division953
(A) of this section, if the vehicle subject to the order is954
immobilized under the order, and if the vehicle is found being955
operated upon any street or highway of this state during the956
immobilization period, it shall be seized, removed from the street957
or highway, and criminally forfeited, and disposed of pursuant to958
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 division964
(A) of this section, and if the vehicle is not claimed within965
seven days after the end of the period of immobilization or if the 966
offender has not paid the immobilization fee, the person or agency967
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 to971
pay the immobilization fee and obtain the release of the vehicle,972
and that if the offender does not pay the fee and obtain the973
release of the vehicle within that twenty-day period, the vehicle974
will be forfeited under section 4503.234 of the Revised Code to975
the entity that is entitled to the immobilization fee.976

       (4) An offender whose motor vehicle is subject to an977
immobilization order issued under division (A) of this section978
shall not sell the motor vehicle without approval of the court979
that issued the order. If such an offender wishes to sell the980
motor vehicle during the immobilization period, the offender shall 981
apply to the court that issued the immobilization order for982
permission to assign the title to the vehicle. If the court is983
satisfied that the sale will be in good faith and not for the984
purpose of circumventing the provisions of division (A)(1) of this985
section, it may certify its consent to the offender and to the986
registrar. Upon receipt of the court's consent, the registrar987
shall enter the court's notice in the offender's vehicle license988
plate registration record.989

       If, during a period of immobilization under an immobilization990
order issued under division (A) of this section, the title to the991
immobilized motor vehicle is transferred by the foreclosure of a992
chattel mortgage, a sale upon execution, the cancellation of a993
conditional sales contract, or an order of a court, the involved994
court shall notify the registrar of the action, and the registrar995
shall enter the court's notice in the offender's vehicle license996
plate registration record.997

       Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring the998
registrar or the clerk of the court of common pleas to note upon999
the certificate of title records any prohibition regarding the1000
sale of a motor vehicle.1001

       (5) If the title to a motor vehicle that is subject to an1002
immobilization order under division (A) of this section is1003
assigned or transferred without court approval between the time of1004
arrest of the offender who committed the offense for which such an1005
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 years1007
from the date of the order, neither the registrar nor any deputy1008
registrar shall accept an application for the registration of any1009
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, after1025
notice to all interested parties including lienholders, and after1026
an opportunity for them to be heard, if the offender fails to1027
appear in person, without good cause, or if the court finds that1028
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 be1032
transferred, in order of priority, first into the name of the1033
entity entitled to the immobilization fee under division (A)(5) of1034
this section, next into the name of a lienholder, or lastly, into1035
the name of the owner of the place of storage.1036

       A lienholder that receives title under a court order shall do1037
so on the condition that it pay any expenses or charges incurred1038
in the vehicle's removal and storage. If the entity that receives1039
title to the vehicle is the entity that is entitled to the1040
immobilization fee under division (A)(5) of this section, it shall1041
receive title on the condition that it pay any lien on the1042
vehicle. The court shall not order that title be transferred to1043
any person or entity other than the owner of the place of storage1044
if the person or entity refuses to receive the title. Any person1045
or entity that receives title may either keep title to the vehicle1046
or may dispose of the vehicle in any legal manner that it1047
considers appropriate, including assignment of the certificate of1048
title to the motor vehicle to a salvage dealer or a scrap metal1049
processing facility. The person or entity shall not transfer the1050
vehicle to the person who is the vehicle's immediate previous1051
owner.1052

       If the person or entity assigns the motor vehicle to a1053
salvage dealer or scrap metal processing facility, the person or1054
entity shall send the assigned certificate of title to the motor1055
vehicle to the clerk of the court of common pleas of the county in1056
which the salvage dealer or scrap metal processing facility is1057
located. The person or entity shall mark the face of the1058
certificate of title with the words "FOR DESTRUCTION" and shall1059
deliver a photocopy of the certificate of title to the salvage1060
dealer or scrap metal processing facility for its records.1061

       (2) Whenever a court issues an order under division (E)(1) of 1062
this section, the court also shall order removal of the license1063
plates from the vehicle and cause them to be sent to the registrar1064
if they have not already been sent to the registrar. Thereafter,1065
no further proceedings shall take place under this section, but1066
the offender remains liable for payment of the immobilization fee1067
described in division (A)(3) of this section if an immobilization1068
order previously had been issued by the court.1069

       (3) Prior to initiating a proceeding under division (E)(1) of 1070
this section, and upon payment of the fee under division (B) of1071
section 4505.14 of the Revised Code, any interested party may1072
cause a search to be made of the public records of the bureau of1073
motor vehicles or the clerk of the court of common pleas, to1074
ascertain the identity of any lienholder of the vehicle. The1075
initiating party shall furnish this information to the clerk of1076
the court with jurisdiction over the case, and the clerk shall1077
provide notice to the vehicle owner, the defendant, any1078
lienholder, and any other interested parties listed by the1079
initiating party, at the last known address supplied by the1080
initiating party, by certified mail or, at the option of the1081
initiating party, by personal service or ordinary mail.1082

       As used in this section, "interested party" includes the 1083
offender, all lienholders, the owner of the place of storage, the1084
person or entity that caused the vehicle to be removed, and the1085
person or entity, if any, entitled to the immobilization fee under1086
division (A)(5) of this section.1087

       Sec. 4503.235.  (A) If division (G) of section 4511.19 or 1088
division (B) of section 4511.193 of the Revised Code requires a 1089
court, as part of the sentence of a person who is convicted of or 1090
pleads guilty to a violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of 1091
the Revised Code or as a sanction for a person who is convicted of 1092
or pleaded guilty to a violation of a municipal OVI ordinance, to 1093
order the immobilization of a vehicle for a specified period of 1094
time, notwithstanding the requirement, the court in its discretion 1095
may determine not to order the immobilization of the vehicle if 1096
both of the following apply:1097

       (1) Prior to the issuance of the order of immobilization, a 1098
spouse or a driving-age child of the offender files a motion with 1099
the court identifying the vehicle and requesting that the 1100
immobilization order not be issued on the ground that the spouse 1101
who files the motion, the driving-age child who files the motion, 1102
or the spouse who files the motion and one or more driving-age 1103
children of the offender are completely dependent on the vehicle 1104
for the necessities of life and that the immobilization of the 1105
vehicle would be an undue hardship to the spouse, the driving-age 1106
child, or the spouse and the driving-age child or children.1107

       (2) The court determines that the spouse who files the 1108
motion, the driving-age child who files the motion, or the spouse 1109
who files the motion and one or more driving-age children of the 1110
offender are completely dependent on the vehicle for the 1111
necessities of life and that the immobilization of the vehicle 1112
would be an undue hardship to the spouse, the driving-age child, 1113
or the spouse and the driving-age child or children.1114

       (B) If a court pursuant to division (A) of this section 1115
determines not to order the immobilization of a vehicle that 1116
otherwise would be required pursuant to division (G) of section 1117

the court shall issue an order that waives the immobilization that 1119
otherwise would be required pursuant to either of those divisions. 1120
The immobilization waiver order shall be in effect for the period 1121
of time for which the immobilization of the vehicle otherwise 1122
would have been required under division (G) of section 4511.19 or 1123
division (B) of section 4511.193 of the Revised Code if the 1124
immobilization waiver order had not been issued, subject to 1125
division (E) of this section. The immobilization waiver order 1126
shall specify the period of time for which it is in effect. The 1127
court shall provide a copy of an immobilization waiver order to 1128
the offender and to the spouse or driving-age child of the 1129
offender who filed the motion requesting that the immobilization 1130
order not be issued and shall place a copy of the immobilization 1131
waiver order in the record in the case.1132

issues an immobilization waiver order, the order shall identify 1134
the spouse or driving-age child who requested the order and the 1135
vehicle to which the order applies, shall identify the spouse, the 1136
driving-age child, or the spouse and the driving-age child or 1137
children who are permitted to operate the vehicle, and shall 1138
identify the offender and specify that the offender is not 1139
permitted to operate the vehicle. The immobilization waiver order 1140
shall require that the spouse, the driving-age child, or the 1141
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
4503.231 of the Revised Code for the entire period for which the 1145
immobilization of the vehicle otherwise would have been required 1146
under division (G) of section 4511.19 or division (B) of section 1147
4511.193 of the Revised Code if the immobilization waiver order 1148
had not been issued.1149

       (D) If division (G) of section 4511.19 or division (B) of 1150
section 4511.193 of the Revised Code requires a court, as part of 1151
the sentence of a person who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a 1152
violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code 1153
or as a sanction for a person who is convicted of or pleaded 1154
guilty to a violation of a municipal OVI ordinance, to order the 1155
immobilization of more than one vehicle for a specified period of 1156
time, the court shall not issue an immobilization waiver order 1157
under this section for more than one of those vehicles.1158

       (E) A spouse or a driving-age child who is permitted to 1159
operate a vehicle under an immobilization waiver order issued 1160
under this section shall not permit the offender to operate the 1161
vehicle. If a spouse or a driving-age child who is permitted to 1162
operate a vehicle under an immobilization waiver order issued 1163
under this section permits the offender to operate the vehicle, 1164
both of the following apply:1165

       (1) The court that issued the immobilization waiver order 1166
shall terminate that order and shall issue an immobilization order 1167
in accordance with section 4503.233 of the Revised Code that 1168
applies to the vehicle, and the immobilization order shall be in 1169
effect for the remaining period of time for which the 1170
immobilization of the vehicle otherwise would have been required 1171
under division (G) of section 4511.19 or division (B) of section 1172
4511.193 of the Revised Code if the immobilization waiver order 1173
had not been issued.1174

       (2) The conduct of the spouse or driving-age child in 1175
permitting the offender to operate the vehicle is a violation of 1176
section 4511.203 of the Revised Code. 1177

deposit the payment in the drivers' treatment and intervention1583
fund established by sections 4511.19 and 4511.191 of the Revised1584
Code.1585

       (2) The director of public safety, in accordance with Chapter1586
119. of the Revised Code, shall adopt and publish rules setting1587
forth the requirements for obtaining the certification of an1588
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

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 limited1596
driving privileges.1597

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

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

       (a) It does not impede the safe operation of the vehicle.1609

       (b) It has features that make circumvention difficult and1610
that do not interfere with the normal use of the vehicle, and the 1611
features are operating and functioning.1612

       (c) It correlates well with established measures of alcohol1613
impairment.1614

       (d) It works accurately and reliably in an unsupervised1615
environment.1616

       (e) It is resistant to tampering and shows evidence of1617
tampering if tampering is attempted.1618

       (f) It is difficult to circumvent and requires premeditation1619
to do so.1620

       (g) It minimizes inconvenience to a sober user.1621

       (h) It requires a proper, deep-lung breath sample or other1622
accurate measure of the concentration by weight of alcohol in the1623
breath.1624

       (i) It operates reliably over the range of automobile1625
environments.1626

       (j) It is made by a manufacturer who is covered by product1627
liability insurance.1628

       (3) The director of public safety may adopt, in whole or in1629
part, the guidelines, rules, regulations, studies, or independent1630
laboratory tests performed and relied upon by other states, or1631
their agencies or commissions, in the certification or approval of1632
immobilizing or disabling devices.1633

       (4) The director of public safety shall adopt rules in1634
accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code for the design of1635
a warning label that shall be affixed to each immobilizing or1636
disabling device upon installation. The label shall contain a1637
warning that any person tampering, circumventing, or otherwise1638
misusing the device is subject to a fine, imprisonment, or both1639
and may be subject to civil liability.1640

       (B) A court considering the use of a prototype device in a1641
pilot program shall advise the director of public safety, thirty1642
days before the use, of the prototype device and its protocol,1643
methodology, manufacturer, and licensor, lessor, other agent, or1644
owner, and the length of the court's pilot program. A prototype1645
device shall not be used for a violation of section 4510.14 or1646
4511.19 of the Revised Code, a violation of a municipal OVI1647
ordinance, or in relation to a suspension imposed under section1648
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 privileges1654
with a condition of the privileges being that the motor vehicle1655
that is operated under the privileges must be equipped with an1656
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 that1660
vehicle without the installation of an immobilizing or disabling1661
device, provided that the employer has been notified that the1662
person has limited driving privileges and of the nature of the1663
restriction and further provided that the person has proof of the1664
employer's notification in the person's possession while operating 1665
the employer's vehicle for normal business duties. A motor vehicle1666
owned by a business that is partly or entirely owned or controlled1667

certify to this fact by signing the form. The person must submit 3245
to the chemical test or tests, subsequent to the request of the 3246
arresting officer, within two hours of the time of the alleged 3247
violation and, if the person does not submit to the test or tests 3248
within that two-hour time limit, the failure to submit 3249
automatically constitutes a refusal to submit to the test or 3250
tests.3251

       (B) IfExcept as provided in division (A)(5) of section 3252
4511.191 of the Revised Code, if a person is under arrest as 3253

the alcohol, drug of abuse, controlled substance, metabolite of a 3256
controlled substance, or combination content of the person's whole 3257

for which the person was arrested - operating a vehicle under the3262
influence of alcohol, a drug, or a combination of them; operating 3263
a vehicle while under the influence of a listed controlled 3264
substance or a listed metabolite of a controlled substance; 3265
operating a vehicle after underage alcohol consumption; or having3266
physical control of a vehicle while under the influence).3267

       If you refuse to take any chemical test required by law, your3268
Ohio driving privileges will be suspended immediately, and you3269
will have to pay a fee to have the privileges reinstated. If you 3270
have a prior conviction of OVI, OVUAC, or operating a vehicle 3271
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

       (Read this part unless the person is under arrest for solely3278
having physical control of a vehicle while under the influence.)3279
If you take any chemical test required by law and are found to be3280
at or over the prohibited amount of alcohol, a controlled 3281
substance, or a metabolite of a controlled substance in your whole 3282
blood, blood serum or plasma, breath, or urine as set by law, your 3283
Ohio driving privileges will be suspended immediately, and you 3284
will have to pay a fee to have the privileges reinstated.3285

       If you take a chemical test, you may have an independent3286
chemical test taken at your own expense."3287

       (C) If the arresting law enforcement officer does not ask a3288
person under arrest as described in division (A) of this section 3289
or division (A)(5) of section 4511.191 of the Revised Code to 3290
submit to a chemical test or tests under section 4511.191 of the 3291

out-of-state driver's or commercial driver's license or permit of3293
the person and immediately forward it to the court in which the3294
arrested person is to appear on the charge. If the arrested person 3295
is not in possession of the person's license or permit or it is 3296
not in the person's vehicle, the officer shall order the person to 3297
surrender it to the law enforcement agency that employs the 3298
officer within twenty-four hours after the arrest, and, upon the 3299
surrender, the agency immediately shall forward the license or3300
permit to the court in which the person is to appear on the3301
charge. Upon receipt of the license or permit, the court shall3302
retain it pending the arrested person's initial appearance and any3303
action taken under section 4511.196 of the Revised Code.3304

       (D)(1) If a law enforcement officer asks a person under 3305
arrest as described in division (A)(5) of section 4511.191 of the 3306
Revised Code to submit to a chemical test or tests under that 3307
