condition that it imposes upon the child, the court shall require | 111 |
the child to abide by the law during the period of community | 112 |
control. As referred to in this division, community control | 113 |

conditions: | 115 |
A period of house arrest with electronic monitoring or | 155 |
continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic monitoring and | 156 |
continuous alcohol monitoring, imposed under this division shall | 157 |
not extend beyond the child's twenty-first birthday. If a court | 158 |

continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic monitoring and | 160 |
continuous alcohol monitoring, upon a child under this division, | 161 |
it shall require the child: to remain in the child's home or other | 162 |

the court; and to enter into a written contract with the court | 170 |
agreeing to comply with all requirements imposed by the court, | 171 |
agreeing to pay any fee imposed by the court for the costs of the | 172 |
house arrest with electronic monitoring, and agreeing to waive the | 173 |
right to receive credit for any time served on house arrest with | 174 |
electronic monitoring toward the period of any other dispositional | 175 |
order imposed upon the child if the child violates any of the | 176 |
requirements of the dispositional order of house arrest with | 177 |
electronic monitoring. The court also may impose other reasonable | 178 |
requirements upon the child. | 179 |
Unless ordered by the court, a child shall not receive credit | 180 |
for any time served on house arrest with electronic monitoring or | 181 |
continuous alcohol monitoring or both toward any other | 182 |
dispositional order imposed upon the child for the act for which | 183 |
was imposed the dispositional order of house arrest with | 184 |
electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring. As used in | 185 |
this division and division (A)(4)(l)(j) of this section, | 186 |

suspension of the registration of all motor vehicles registered in | 192 |
the name of the child for a period of time prescribed by the | 193 |
court. A child whose license or permit is so suspended is | 194 |
ineligible for issuance of a license or permit during the period | 195 |
of suspension. At the end of the period of suspension, the child | 196 |
shall not be reissued a license or permit until the child has paid | 197 |
any applicable reinstatement fee and complied with all | 198 |
requirements governing license reinstatement. | 199 |
(b) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a | 217 |
chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been | 218 |
adjudicated an unruly child for being a habitual truant and the | 219 |

care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at | 221 |
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, do | 222 |
either or both of the following: | 223 |

to any order of disposition made under division (A) of this | 246 |
section, the court, in the following situations and for the | 247 |
specified periods of time, shall suspend the child's temporary | 248 |
instruction permit, restricted license, probationary driver's | 249 |
license, or nonresident operating privilege, or suspend the | 250 |
child's ability to obtain such a permit: | 251 |
(2) If the child is adjudicated a delinquent child for | 259 |
committing an act that if committed by an adult would be a drug | 260 |
abuse offense or for violating division (B) of section 2917.11 of | 261 |
the Revised Code, suspend the child's license, permit, or | 262 |
privilege for a period of time prescribed by the court. The court, | 263 |
in its discretion, may terminate the suspension if the child | 264 |
attends and satisfactorily completes a drug abuse or alcohol abuse | 265 |
education, intervention, or treatment program specified by the | 266 |
court. During the time the child is attending a program described | 267 |
in this division, the court shall retain the child's temporary | 268 |
instruction permit, probationary driver's license, or driver's | 269 |
license, and the court shall return the permit or license if it | 270 |
terminates the suspension as described in this division. | 271 |
(D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for | 277 |
committing an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult | 278 |
and if the child caused, attempted to cause, threatened to cause, | 279 |
or created a risk of physical harm to the victim of the act, the | 280 |
court, prior to issuing an order of disposition under this | 281 |
section, shall order the preparation of a victim impact statement | 282 |
by the probation department of the county in which the victim of | 283 |
the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a | 284 |
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county, | 285 |
a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity. The court | 286 |
shall consider the victim impact statement in determining the | 287 |
order of disposition to issue for the child. | 288 |
(2) Each victim impact statement shall identify the victim of | 289 |
the act for which the child was adjudicated a delinquent child, | 290 |
itemize any economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of | 291 |
the act, identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a | 292 |
result of the act and the seriousness and permanence of the | 293 |
injury, identify any change in the victim's personal welfare or | 294 |
familial relationships as a result of the act and any | 295 |
psychological impact experienced by the victim or the victim's | 296 |
family as a result of the act, and contain any other information | 297 |
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the court | 298 |
requires. | 299 |
(3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and | 300 |
is not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of | 301 |
the statement to the department of youth services if the | 302 |
delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the | 303 |
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's | 304 |
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact | 305 |
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to | 306 |
this section shall be kept confidential and is not a public | 307 |
record. If an officer is preparing pursuant to section 2947.06 or | 308 |
2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 a presentence | 309 |
investigation report pertaining to a person, the court shall make | 310 |
available to the officer, for use in preparing the report, a copy | 311 |
of any victim impact statement regarding that person. The copies | 312 |
of a victim impact statement that are made available to the | 313 |
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's | 314 |
counsel and the prosecuting attorney pursuant to this division | 315 |
shall be returned to the court by the person to whom they were | 316 |
made available immediately following the imposition of an order of | 317 |
disposition for the child under this chapter. | 318 |
(E) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a | 326 |
chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been | 327 |
adjudicated an unruly child for being a habitual truant and the | 328 |
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having | 329 |
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at | 330 |
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in | 331 |
addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section, | 332 |
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having | 333 |
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as | 334 |
an unruly or delinquent child for being a habitual or chronic | 335 |
truant may result in a criminal charge against the parent, | 336 |
guardian, or other person having care of the child for a violation | 337 |
of division (C) of section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the | 338 |
Revised Code. | 339 |
(F) If a child under eighteen years of age is adjudicated a | 340 |
delinquent child for a violation of division (B) of section | 341 |
959.131 of the Revised Code, the court, in addition to any other | 342 |
disposition that it makes under this section, shall require the | 343 |
child to undergo a psychological evaluation. The evaluation shall | 344 |
determine if the child needs individual or family counseling and | 345 |
shall make a recommendation as to the frequency and the length of | 346 |
time that the counseling should occur. If individual or family | 347 |
counseling is recommended by the evaluation, the court shall | 348 |
require the counseling to take place and shall establish the | 349 |
frequency and the length of time of the counseling. The court may | 350 |
order the parent, guardian, or other person having care of the | 351 |
child to pay the costs of the evaluation, any counseling, or both. | 352 |
(G)(1) During the period of a delinquent child's community | 353 |
control granted under this section, authorized probation officers | 354 |
who are engaged within the scope of their supervisory duties or | 355 |
responsibilities may search, with or without a warrant, the person | 356 |
of the delinquent child, the place of residence of the delinquent | 357 |
child, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or intangible | 358 |
personal property, or other real property in which the delinquent | 359 |
child has a right, title, or interest or for which the delinquent | 360 |
child has the express or implied permission of a person with a | 361 |
right, title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the | 362 |
probation officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the | 363 |
delinquent child is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not | 364 |
complying with the conditions of the delinquent child's community | 365 |
control. The court that places a delinquent child on community | 366 |
control under this section shall provide the delinquent child with | 367 |
a written notice that informs the delinquent child that authorized | 368 |
probation officers who are engaged within the scope of their | 369 |
supervisory duties or responsibilities may conduct those types of | 370 |
searches during the period of community control if they have | 371 |
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is not | 372 |
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the | 373 |
conditions of the delinquent child's community control. The court | 374 |
also shall provide the written notice described in division | 375 |
(E)(G)(2) of this section to each parent, guardian, or custodian | 376 |
of the delinquent child who is described in that division. | 377 |
(2) The court that places a child on community control under | 378 |
this section shall provide the child's parent, guardian, or other | 379 |
custodian with a written notice that informs them that authorized | 380 |
probation officers may conduct searches pursuant to division | 381 |
(E)(1) of this section. The notice shall specifically state that a | 382 |
permissible search might extend to a motor vehicle, another item | 383 |
of tangible or intangible personal property, or a place of | 384 |
residence or other real property in which a notified parent, | 385 |
guardian, or custodian has a right, title, or interest and that | 386 |
the parent, guardian, or custodian expressly or impliedly permits | 387 |
the child to use, occupy, or possess. | 388 |

motion shall be filed with the clerk of the court that has | 414 |
jurisdiction of the case at any time after the filing of the | 415 |
complaint. If the complaint involves a person who is a family or | 416 |
household member, the complainant, the alleged victim, or the | 417 |
family or household member may file a motion for a temporary | 418 |
protection order pursuant to section 2919.26 of the Revised Code. | 419 |

I understand that I must appear before the court, at a time | 444 |
set by the court not later than the next day that the court is in | 445 |
session after the filing of this motion, for a hearing on the | 446 |
motion, and that any protection order granted pursuant to this | 447 |

until the disposition of the criminal proceeding arising out of | 449 |
the attached complaint or until the issuance under section | 450 |
2903.214 of the Revised Code of a protection order arising out of | 451 |
the same activities as those that were the basis of the attached | 452 |

(C)(1) As soon as possible after the filing of a motion that | 458 |
requests the issuance of a protection order under this section, | 459 |
but not later than the next day that the court is in session after | 460 |
the filing of the motion, the court shall conduct a hearing to | 461 |
determine whether to issue the order. The person who requested the | 462 |

If the court finds that the safety and protection of the | 465 |
complainant or the alleged victim may be impaired by the continued | 466 |
presence of the alleged offender, the court may issue a protection | 467 |
order under this section, as a pretrial condition of release, that | 468 |
contains terms designed to ensure the safety and protection of the | 469 |
complainant or the alleged victim, including a requirement that | 470 |
the alleged offender refrain from entering the residence, school, | 471 |
business, or place of employment of the complainant or the alleged | 472 |
victim. The court may include within the scope of a protection | 473 |
order issued under this section any companion animal that is in | 474 |

(2)(a) If the court issues a protection order under this | 476 |
section that includes a requirement that the alleged offender | 477 |
refrain from entering the residence, school, business, or place of | 478 |
employment of the complainant or the alleged victim, the order | 479 |
shall clearly state that the order cannot be waived or nullified | 480 |
by an invitation to the alleged offender from the complainant, the | 481 |
alleged victim, or a family or household member to enter the | 482 |
residence, school, business, or place of employment or by the | 483 |
alleged offender's entry into one of those places otherwise upon | 484 |
the consent of the complainant, the alleged victim, or a family or | 485 |
household member. | 486 |
(b) Division (C)(2)(a) of this section does not limit any | 487 |
discretion of a court to determine that an alleged offender | 488 |
charged with a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code, | 489 |
with a violation of a municipal ordinance substantially equivalent | 490 |
to that section, or with contempt of court, which charge is based | 491 |
on an alleged violation of a protection order issued under this | 492 |
section, did not commit the violation or was not in contempt of | 493 |
court. | 494 |
(D)(1) Except when the complaint involves a person who is a | 495 |
family or household member as defined in section 2919.25 of the | 496 |
Revised Code, upon the filing of a complaint that alleges a | 497 |
violation specified in division (A) of this section, the court, | 498 |
upon its own motion, may issue a protection order under this | 499 |
section as a pretrial condition of release of the alleged offender | 500 |
if it finds that the safety and protection of the complainant or | 501 |
the alleged victim may be impaired by the continued presence of | 502 |
the alleged offender.
The court may include within the scope of a | 503 |
protection order issued under this section any companion animal | 504 |
that is in the complainant's or alleged victim's residence. | 505 |
(2) If the court issues a protection order under this section | 506 |
as an ex parte order, it shall conduct, as soon as possible after | 507 |
the issuance of the order but not later than the next day that the | 508 |
court is in session after its issuance, a hearing to determine | 509 |
whether the order should remain in effect, be modified, or be | 510 |
revoked. The hearing shall be conducted under the standards set | 511 |
forth in division (C) of this section. | 512 |
(3) If a municipal court or a county court issues a | 513 |
protection order under this section and if, subsequent to the | 514 |
issuance of the order, the alleged offender who is the subject of | 515 |
the order is bound over to the court of common pleas for | 516 |
prosecution of a felony arising out of the same activities as | 517 |
those that were the basis of the complaint upon which the order is | 518 |
based, notwithstanding the fact that the order was issued by a | 519 |
municipal court or county court, the order shall remain in effect, | 520 |
as though it were an order of the court of common pleas, while the | 521 |
charges against the alleged offender are pending in the court of | 522 |
common pleas, for the period of time described in division (E)(2) | 523 |
of this section, and the court of common pleas has exclusive | 524 |
jurisdiction to modify the order issued by the municipal court or | 525 |
county court. This division applies when the alleged offender is | 526 |
bound over to the court of common pleas as a result of the person | 527 |
waiving a preliminary hearing on the felony charge, as a result of | 528 |
the municipal court or county court having determined at a | 529 |
preliminary hearing that there is probable cause to believe that | 530 |
the felony has been committed and that the alleged offender | 531 |
committed it, as a result of the alleged offender having been | 532 |
indicted for the felony, or in any other manner. | 533 |
(2) Is effective only until the disposition, by the court | 538 |
that issued the order or, in the circumstances described in | 539 |
division (D)(3) of this section, by the court of common pleas to | 540 |
which the alleged offender is bound over for prosecution, of the | 541 |
criminal proceeding arising out of the complaint upon which the | 542 |
order is based or until the issuance under section 2903.214 of the | 543 |
Revised Code of a protection order arising out of the same | 544 |
activities as those that were the basis of the complaint filed | 545 |
under this section; | 546 |
(G)(1) A copy of a protection order that is issued under this | 556 |
section shall be issued by the court to the complainant, to the | 557 |
alleged victim, to the person who requested the order, to the | 558 |
defendant, and to all law enforcement agencies that have | 559 |
jurisdiction to enforce the order. The court shall direct that a | 560 |
copy of the order be delivered to the defendant on the same day | 561 |
that the order is entered. If a municipal court or a county court | 562 |
issues a protection order under this section and if, subsequent to | 563 |
the issuance of the order, the defendant who is the subject of the | 564 |
order is bound over to the court of common pleas for prosecution | 565 |
as described in division (D)(3) of this section, the municipal | 566 |
court or county court shall direct that a copy of the order be | 567 |
delivered to the court of common pleas to which the defendant is | 568 |
bound over. | 569 |
If you are convicted of a misdemeanor crime involving | 574 |
violence in which you are or were a spouse, intimate partner, | 575 |
parent, or guardian of the victim or are or were involved in | 576 |
another, similar relationship with the victim, it may be unlawful | 577 |
for you to possess or purchase a firearm, including a rifle, | 578 |
pistol, or revolver, or ammunition pursuant to federal law under | 579 |
18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9). If you have any questions whether this law | 580 |
makes it illegal for you to possess or purchase a firearm or | 581 |
ammunition, you should consult an attorney." | 582 |
(I) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary and | 597 |
regardless of whether a protection order is issued or a consent | 598 |
agreement is approved by a court of another county or by a court | 599 |
of another state, no court or unit of state or local government | 600 |
shall charge any fee, cost, deposit, or money in connection with | 601 |
the filing of a motion pursuant to this section, in connection | 602 |
with the filing, issuance, registration, or service of a | 603 |
protection order or consent agreement, or for obtaining certified | 604 |
copies of a protection order or consent agreement. | 605 |
(2) If the petitioner seeks relief in the form of electronic | 639 |
monitoring of the respondent, an allegation that at any time | 640 |
preceding the filing of the petition the respondent engaged in | 641 |
conduct that would cause a reasonable person to believe that the | 642 |
health, welfare, or safety of the person to be protected was at | 643 |
risk, a description of the nature and extent of that conduct, and | 644 |
an allegation that the respondent presents a continuing danger to | 645 |
the person to be protected; | 646 |
(D)(1) If a person who files a petition pursuant to this | 648 |
section requests an ex parte order, the court shall hold an ex | 649 |
parte hearing as soon as possible after the petition is filed, but | 650 |
not later than the next day that the court is in session after the | 651 |
petition is filed. The court, for good cause shown at the ex parte | 652 |
hearing, may enter any temporary orders, with or without bond, | 653 |
that the court finds necessary for the safety and protection of | 654 |
the person to be protected by the order. Immediate and present | 655 |
danger to the person to be protected by the protection order | 656 |
constitutes good cause for purposes of this section. Immediate and | 657 |
present danger includes, but is not limited to, situations in | 658 |
which the respondent has threatened the person to be protected by | 659 |
the protection order with bodily harm or in which the respondent | 660 |
previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a violation | 661 |
of section 2903.211 of the Revised Code or a sexually oriented | 662 |
offense against the person to be protected by the protection | 663 |
order. | 664 |
(2)(a) If the court, after an ex parte hearing, issues a | 665 |
protection order described in division (E) of this section, the | 666 |
court shall schedule a full hearing for a date that is within ten | 667 |
court days after the ex parte hearing. The court shall give the | 668 |
respondent notice of, and an opportunity to be heard at, the full | 669 |
hearing. The court shall hold the full hearing on the date | 670 |
scheduled under this division unless the court grants a | 671 |
continuance of the hearing in accordance with this division. Under | 672 |
any of the following circumstances or for any of the following | 673 |
reasons, the court may grant a continuance of the full hearing to | 674 |
a reasonable time determined by the court: | 675 |
(E)(1)(a) After an ex parte or full hearing, the court may | 694 |
issue any protection order, with or without bond, that contains | 695 |
terms designed to ensure the safety and protection of the person | 696 |
to be protected by the protection order, including, but not | 697 |
limited to, a requirement that the respondent refrain from | 698 |
entering the residence, school, business, or place of employment | 699 |
of the petitioner or family or household member. If the court | 700 |
includes a requirement that the respondent refrain from entering | 701 |
the residence, school, business, or place of employment of the | 702 |
petitioner or family or household member in the order, it also | 703 |
shall include in the order provisions of the type described in | 704 |
division (E)(5) of this section.
The court may include within the | 705 |
scope of a protection order issued under this section any | 706 |
companion animal that is in the residence of the person to be | 707 |
protected. | 708 |
(b) After a full hearing, if the court considering a petition | 709 |
that includes an allegation of the type described in division | 710 |
(C)(2) of this section, or the court upon its own motion, finds | 711 |
upon clear and convincing evidence that the petitioner reasonably | 712 |
believed that the respondent's conduct at any time preceding the | 713 |
filing of the petition endangered the health, welfare, or safety | 714 |
of the person to be protected and that the respondent presents a | 715 |
continuing danger to the person to be protected, the court may | 716 |
order that the respondent be electronically monitored for a period | 717 |
of time and under the terms and conditions that the court | 718 |
determines are appropriate. Electronic monitoring shall be in | 719 |
addition to any other relief granted to the petitioner. | 720 |
(d) After a full hearing at which the respondent presents | 741 |
evidence in support of the request for a protection order and the | 742 |
petitioner is afforded an opportunity to defend against that | 743 |
evidence, the court determines that the petitioner has committed a | 744 |
violation of section 2903.211 of the Revised Code against the | 745 |
person to be protected by the protection order issued pursuant to | 746 |
this section, has committed a sexually oriented offense against | 747 |
the person to be protected by the protection order, or has | 748 |
violated a protection order issued pursuant to section 2903.213 of | 749 |
the Revised Code relative to the person to be protected by the | 750 |
protection order issued pursuant to this section. | 751 |
(5)(a) If the court issues a protection order under this | 754 |
section that includes a requirement that the alleged offender | 755 |
refrain from entering the residence, school, business, or place of | 756 |
employment of the petitioner or a family or household member, the | 757 |
order shall clearly state that the order cannot be waived or | 758 |
nullified by an invitation to the alleged offender from the | 759 |
complainant to enter the residence, school, business, or place of | 760 |
employment or by the alleged offender's entry into one of those | 761 |
places otherwise upon the consent of the petitioner or family or | 762 |
household member. | 763 |
(b) Division (E)(5)(a) of this section does not limit any | 764 |
discretion of a court to determine that an alleged offender | 765 |
charged with a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code, | 766 |
with a violation of a municipal ordinance substantially equivalent | 767 |
to that section, or with contempt of court, which charge is based | 768 |
on an alleged violation of a protection order issued under this | 769 |
section, did not commit the violation or was not in contempt of | 770 |
court. | 771 |
As a result of this order, it may be unlawful for you to | 782 |
possess or purchase a firearm, including a rifle, pistol, or | 783 |
revolver, or ammunition pursuant to federal law under 18 U.S.C. | 784 |
922(g)(8). If you have any questions whether this law makes it | 785 |
illegal for you to possess or purchase a firearm or ammunition, | 786 |
you should consult an attorney." | 787 |
(4) Regardless of whether the petitioner has registered the | 793 |
protection order in the county in which the officer's agency has | 794 |
jurisdiction pursuant to division (M) of this section, any officer | 795 |
of a law enforcement agency shall enforce a protection order | 796 |
issued pursuant to this section by any court in this state in | 797 |
accordance with the provisions of the order, including removing | 798 |
the respondent from the premises, if appropriate. | 799 |
(G) Any proceeding under this section shall be conducted in | 800 |
accordance with the Rules of Civil Procedure, except that a | 801 |
protection order may be obtained under this section with or | 802 |
without bond. An order issued under this section, other than an ex | 803 |
parte order, that grants a protection order, or that refuses to | 804 |
grant a protection order, is a final, appealable order. The | 805 |
remedies and procedures provided in this section are in addition | 806 |
to, and not in lieu of, any other available civil or criminal | 807 |
remedies. | 808 |
(J) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary and | 819 |
regardless of whether a protection order is issued or a consent | 820 |
agreement is approved by a court of another county or by a court | 821 |
of another state, no court or unit of state or local government | 822 |
shall charge any fee, cost, deposit, or money in connection with | 823 |
the filing of a petition pursuant to this section, in connection | 824 |
with the filing, issuance, registration, or service of a | 825 |
protection order or consent agreement, or for obtaining a | 826 |
certified copy of a protection order or consent agreement. | 827 |
(2) The punishment of a person for contempt of court for | 834 |
violation of a protection order issued under this section does not | 835 |
bar criminal prosecution of the person for a violation of section | 836 |
2919.27 of the Revised Code. However, a person punished for | 837 |
contempt of court is entitled to credit for the punishment imposed | 838 |
upon conviction of a violation of that section, and a person | 839 |
convicted of a violation of that section shall not subsequently be | 840 |
punished for contempt of court arising out of the same activity. | 841 |
(M)(1) A petitioner who obtains a protection order under this | 844 |
section or a protection order under section 2903.213 of the | 845 |
Revised Code may provide notice of the issuance or approval of the | 846 |
order to the judicial and law enforcement officials in any county | 847 |
other than the county in which the order is issued by registering | 848 |
that order in the other county pursuant to division (M)(2) of this | 849 |
section and filing a copy of the registered order with a law | 850 |
enforcement agency in the other county in accordance with that | 851 |
division. A person who obtains a protection order issued by a | 852 |
court of another state may provide notice of the issuance of the | 853 |
order to the judicial and law enforcement officials in any county | 854 |
of this state by registering the order in that county pursuant to | 855 |
section 2919.272 of the Revised Code and filing a copy of the | 856 |
registered order with a law enforcement agency in that county. | 857 |
(N) If the court orders electronic monitoring of the | 877 |
respondent under this section, the court shall direct the | 878 |
sheriff's office or any other appropriate law enforcement agency | 879 |
to install the electronic monitoring device and to monitor the | 880 |
respondent. Unless the court determines that the respondent is | 881 |
indigent, the court shall order the respondent to pay the cost of | 882 |
the installation and monitoring of the electronic monitoring | 883 |
device. If the court determines that the respondent is indigent, | 884 |
the cost of the installation and monitoring of the electronic | 885 |
monitoring device shall be paid out of funds from the reparations | 886 |
fund created pursuant to section 2743.191 of the Revised Code. | 887 |
Sec. 2919.26. (A)(1) Upon the filing of a complaint that | 888 |
alleges a violation of section 2909.06, 2909.07, 2911.12, or | 889 |
2911.211 of the Revised Code if the alleged victim of the | 890 |
violation was a family or household member at the time of the | 891 |
violation, a violation of a municipal ordinance that is | 892 |
substantially similar to any of those sections if the alleged | 893 |
victim of the violation was a family or household member at the | 894 |
time of the violation, any offense of violence if the alleged | 895 |
victim of the offense was a family or household member at the time | 896 |
of the commission of the offense, or any sexually oriented offense | 897 |
if the alleged victim of the offense was a family or household | 898 |
member at the time of the commission of the offense, the | 899 |
complainant, the alleged victim, or a family or household member | 900 |
of an alleged victim may file, or, if in an emergency the alleged | 901 |
victim is unable to file, a person who made an arrest for the | 902 |
alleged violation or offense under section 2935.03 of the Revised | 903 |
Code may file on behalf of the alleged victim, a motion that | 904 |
requests the issuance of a temporary protection order as a | 905 |
pretrial condition of release of the alleged offender, in addition | 906 |
to any bail set under Criminal Rule 46. The motion shall be filed | 907 |
with the clerk of the court that has jurisdiction of the case at | 908 |
any time after the filing of the complaint. | 909 |
(2) For purposes of section 2930.09 of the Revised Code, all | 910 |
stages of a proceeding arising out of a complaint alleging the | 911 |
commission of a violation, offense of violence, or sexually | 912 |
oriented offense described in division (A)(1) of this section, | 913 |
including all proceedings on a motion for a temporary protection | 914 |
order, are critical stages of the case, and a victim may be | 915 |
accompanied by a victim advocate or another person to provide | 916 |
support to the victim as provided in that section. | 917 |
(name of person), moves the court to issue a temporary protection | 928 |
order containing terms designed to ensure the safety and | 929 |
protection of the complainant, alleged victim, and other family or | 930 |
household members, and any companion animal that is in the | 931 |
complainant's or alleged victim's residence, in relation to the | 932 |
named defendant, pursuant to its authority to issue such an order | 933 |
under section 2919.26 of the Revised Code. | 934 |
|
A complaint, a copy of which has been attached to this | 935 |
motion, has been filed in this court charging the named defendant | 936 |
with .......................... (name of the specified violation, | 937 |
the offense of violence, or sexually oriented offense charged) in | 938 |
circumstances in which the victim was a family or household member | 939 |
in violation of (section of the Revised Code designating the | 940 |
specified violation, offense of violence, or sexually oriented | 941 |
offense charged), or charging the named defendant with a violation | 942 |
of a municipal ordinance that is substantially similar to | 943 |
........................ (section of the Revised Code designating | 944 |
the specified violation, offense of violence, or sexually oriented | 945 |
offense charged) involving a family or household member. | 946 |
I understand that I must appear before the court, at a time | 947 |
set by the court within twenty-four hours after the filing of this | 948 |
motion, for a hearing on the motion or that, if I am unable to | 949 |
appear because of hospitalization or a medical condition resulting | 950 |
from the offense alleged in the complaint, a person who can | 951 |
provide information about my need for a temporary protection order | 952 |
must appear before the court in lieu of my appearing in court. I | 953 |
understand that any temporary protection order granted pursuant to | 954 |
this motion is a pretrial condition of release and is effective | 955 |
only until the disposition of the criminal proceeding arising out | 956 |
of the attached complaint, or the issuance of a civil protection | 957 |
order or the approval of a consent agreement, arising out of the | 958 |
same activities as those that were the basis of the complaint, | 959 |
under section 3113.31 of the Revised Code. | 960 |
(C)(1) As soon as possible after the filing of a motion that | 968 |
requests the issuance of a temporary protection order, but not | 969 |
later than twenty-four hours after the filing of the motion, the | 970 |
court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether to issue the | 971 |
order. The person who requested the order shall appear before the | 972 |
court and provide the court with the information that it requests | 973 |
concerning the basis of the motion. If the person who requested | 974 |
the order is unable to appear and if the court finds that the | 975 |
failure to appear is because of the person's hospitalization or | 976 |
medical condition resulting from the offense alleged in the | 977 |
complaint, another person who is able to provide the court with | 978 |
the information it requests may appear in lieu of the person who | 979 |
requested the order. If the court finds that the safety and | 980 |
protection of the complainant, alleged victim, or any other family | 981 |
or household member of the alleged victim may be impaired by the | 982 |
continued presence of the alleged offender, the court may issue a | 983 |
temporary protection order, as a pretrial condition of release, | 984 |
that contains terms designed to ensure the safety and protection | 985 |
of the complainant, alleged victim, or the family or household | 986 |
member, including a requirement that the alleged offender refrain | 987 |
from entering the residence, school, business, or place of | 988 |
employment of the complainant, alleged victim, or the family or | 989 |
household member.
The court may include within the scope of a | 990 |
protection order issued under this section any companion animal | 991 |
that is in the complainant's or alleged victim's residence. | 992 |
(2)(a) If the court issues a temporary protection order that | 993 |
includes a requirement that the alleged offender refrain from | 994 |
entering the residence, school, business, or place of employment | 995 |
of the complainant, the alleged victim, or the family or household | 996 |
member, the order shall state clearly that the order cannot be | 997 |
waived or nullified by an invitation to the alleged offender from | 998 |
the complainant, alleged victim, or family or household member to | 999 |
enter the residence, school, business, or place of employment or | 1000 |
by the alleged offender's entry into one of those places otherwise | 1001 |
upon the consent of the complainant, alleged victim, or family or | 1002 |
household member. | 1003 |
(b) Division (C)(2)(a) of this section does not limit any | 1004 |
discretion of a court to determine that an alleged offender | 1005 |
charged with a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code, | 1006 |
with a violation of a municipal ordinance substantially equivalent | 1007 |
to that section, or with contempt of court, which charge is based | 1008 |
on an alleged violation of a temporary protection order issued | 1009 |
under this section, did not commit the violation or was not in | 1010 |
contempt of court. | 1011 |
(D)(1) Upon the filing of a complaint that alleges a | 1012 |
violation of section 2909.06, 2909.07, 2911.12, or 2911.211 of the | 1013 |
Revised Code if the alleged victim of the violation was a family | 1014 |
or household member at the time of the violation, a violation of a | 1015 |
municipal ordinance that is substantially similar to any of those | 1016 |
sections if the alleged victim of the violation was a family or | 1017 |
household member at the time of the violation, any offense of | 1018 |
violence if the alleged victim of the offense was a family or | 1019 |
household member at the time of the commission of the offense, or | 1020 |
any sexually oriented offense if the alleged victim of the offense | 1021 |
was a family or household member at the time of the commission of | 1022 |
the offense, the court, upon its own motion, may issue a temporary | 1023 |
protection order as a pretrial condition of release if it finds | 1024 |
that the safety and protection of the complainant, alleged victim, | 1025 |
or other family or household member of the alleged offender may be | 1026 |
impaired by the continued presence of the alleged offender.
The | 1027 |
court may include within the scope of a protection order issued | 1028 |
under this section any companion animal that is in the | 1029 |
complainant's or alleged victim's residence. | 1030 |
(2) If the court issues a temporary protection order under | 1031 |
this section as an ex parte order, it shall conduct, as soon as | 1032 |
possible after the issuance of the order, a hearing in the | 1033 |
presence of the alleged offender not later than the next day on | 1034 |
which the court is scheduled to conduct business after the day on | 1035 |
which the alleged offender was arrested or at the time of the | 1036 |
appearance of the alleged offender pursuant to summons to | 1037 |
determine whether the order should remain in effect, be modified, | 1038 |
or be revoked. The hearing shall be conducted under the standards | 1039 |
set forth in division (C) of this section. | 1040 |
(4) If a municipal court or a county court issues a temporary | 1044 |
protection order under this section and if, subsequent to the | 1045 |
issuance of the order, the alleged offender who is the subject of | 1046 |
the order is bound over to the court of common pleas for | 1047 |
prosecution of a felony arising out of the same activities as | 1048 |
those that were the basis of the complaint upon which the order is | 1049 |
based, notwithstanding the fact that the order was issued by a | 1050 |
municipal court or county court, the order shall remain in effect, | 1051 |
as though it were an order of the court of common pleas, while the | 1052 |
charges against the alleged offender are pending in the court of | 1053 |
common pleas, for the period of time described in division (E)(2) | 1054 |
of this section, and the court of common pleas has exclusive | 1055 |
jurisdiction to modify the order issued by the municipal court or | 1056 |
county court. This division applies when the alleged offender is | 1057 |
bound over to the court of common pleas as a result of the person | 1058 |
waiving a preliminary hearing on the felony charge, as a result of | 1059 |
the municipal court or county court having determined at a | 1060 |
preliminary hearing that there is probable cause to believe that | 1061 |
the felony has been committed and that the alleged offender | 1062 |
committed it, as a result of the alleged offender having been | 1063 |
indicted for the felony, or in any other manner. | 1064 |
(G)(1) A copy of any temporary protection order that is | 1090 |
issued under this section shall be issued by the court to the | 1091 |
complainant, to the alleged victim, to the person who requested | 1092 |
the order, to the defendant, and to all law enforcement agencies | 1093 |
that have jurisdiction to enforce the order. The court shall | 1094 |
direct that a copy of the order be delivered to the defendant on | 1095 |
the same day that the order is entered. If a municipal court or a | 1096 |
county court issues a temporary protection order under this | 1097 |
section and if, subsequent to the issuance of the order, the | 1098 |
defendant who is the subject of the order is bound over to the | 1099 |
court of common pleas for prosecution as described in division | 1100 |
(D)(4) of this section, the municipal court or county court shall | 1101 |
direct that a copy of the order be delivered to the court of | 1102 |
common pleas to which the defendant is bound over. | 1103 |
If you are convicted of a misdemeanor crime involving | 1108 |
violence in which you are or were a spouse, intimate partner, | 1109 |
parent, or guardian of the victim or are or were involved in | 1110 |
another, similar relationship with the victim, it may be unlawful | 1111 |
for you to possess or purchase a firearm, including a rifle, | 1112 |
pistol, or revolver, or ammunition pursuant to federal law under | 1113 |
18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9). If you have any questions whether this law | 1114 |
makes it illegal for you to possess or purchase a firearm or | 1115 |
ammunition, you should consult an attorney." | 1116 |
(4) A complainant, alleged victim, or other person who | 1122 |
obtains a temporary protection order under this section may | 1123 |
provide notice of the issuance of the temporary protection order | 1124 |
to the judicial and law enforcement officials in any county other | 1125 |
than the county in which the order is issued by registering that | 1126 |
order in the other county in accordance with division (N) of | 1127 |
section 3113.31 of the Revised Code and filing a copy of the | 1128 |
registered protection order with a law enforcement agency in the | 1129 |
other county in accordance with that division. | 1130 |
(2) If a complaint is filed that alleges that a person | 1145 |
committed a violation, offense of violence, or sexually oriented | 1146 |
offense of the type described in division (A) of this section, the | 1147 |
court may not issue a temporary protection order under this | 1148 |
section that requires the complainant, the alleged victim, or | 1149 |
another family or household member of the defendant to do or | 1150 |
refrain from doing an act that the court may require the defendant | 1151 |
to do or refrain from doing under a temporary protection order | 1152 |
unless both of the following apply: | 1153 |
(b) The court determines that both the complainant, alleged | 1159 |
victim, or other family or household member in question who would | 1160 |
be required under the order to do or refrain from doing the act | 1161 |
and the defendant acted primarily as aggressors, that neither the | 1162 |
complainant, alleged victim, or other family or household member | 1163 |
in question who would be required under the order to do or refrain | 1164 |
from doing the act nor the defendant acted primarily in | 1165 |
self-defense, and, in accordance with the standards and criteria | 1166 |
of this section as applied in relation to the separate complaint | 1167 |
filed by the defendant, that it should issue the order to require | 1168 |
the complainant, alleged victim, or other family or household | 1169 |
member in question to do or refrain from doing the act. | 1170 |
(J) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary and | 1171 |
regardless of whether a protection order is issued or a consent | 1172 |
agreement is approved by a court of another county or a court of | 1173 |
another state, no court or unit of state or local government shall | 1174 |
charge any fee, cost, deposit, or money in connection with the | 1175 |
filing of a motion pursuant to this section, in connection with | 1176 |
the filing, issuance, registration, or service of a protection | 1177 |
order or consent agreement, or for obtaining a certified copy of a | 1178 |
protection order or consent agreement. | 1179 |
(D)(1) If a person who files a petition pursuant to this | 1244 |
section requests an ex parte order, the court shall hold an ex | 1245 |
parte hearing on the same day that the petition is filed. The | 1246 |
court, for good cause shown at the ex parte hearing, may enter any | 1247 |
temporary orders, with or without bond, including, but not limited | 1248 |
to, an order described in division (E)(1)(a), (b), or (c) of this | 1249 |
section, that the court finds necessary to protect the family or | 1250 |
household member from domestic violence. Immediate and present | 1251 |
danger of domestic violence to the family or household member | 1252 |
constitutes good cause for purposes of this section. Immediate and | 1253 |
present danger includes, but is not limited to, situations in | 1254 |
which the respondent has threatened the family or household member | 1255 |
with bodily harm, in which the respondent has threatened the | 1256 |
family or household member with a sexually oriented offense, or in | 1257 |
which the respondent previously has been convicted of or pleaded | 1258 |
guilty to an offense that constitutes domestic violence against | 1259 |
the family or household member. | 1260 |
(2)(a) If the court, after an ex parte hearing, issues an | 1261 |
order described in division (E)(1)(b) or (c) of this section, the | 1262 |
court shall schedule a full hearing for a date that is within | 1263 |
seven court days after the ex parte hearing. If any other type of | 1264 |
protection order that is authorized under division (E) of this | 1265 |
section is issued by the court after an ex parte hearing, the | 1266 |
court shall schedule a full hearing for a date that is within ten | 1267 |
court days after the ex parte hearing. The court shall give the | 1268 |
respondent notice of, and an opportunity to be heard at, the full | 1269 |
hearing. The court shall hold the full hearing on the date | 1270 |
scheduled under this division unless the court grants a | 1271 |
continuance of the hearing in accordance with this division. Under | 1272 |
any of the following circumstances or for any of the following | 1273 |
reasons, the court may grant a continuance of the full hearing to | 1274 |
a reasonable time determined by the court: | 1275 |
(b) Grant possession of the residence or household to the | 1301 |
petitioner or other family or household member, to the exclusion | 1302 |
of the respondent, by evicting the respondent, when the residence | 1303 |
or household is owned or leased solely by the petitioner or other | 1304 |
family or household member, or by ordering the respondent to | 1305 |
vacate the premises, when the residence or household is jointly | 1306 |
owned or leased by the respondent, and the petitioner or other | 1307 |
family or household member; | 1308 |
(c) When the respondent has a duty to support the petitioner | 1309 |
or other family or household member living in the residence or | 1310 |
household and the respondent is the sole owner or lessee of the | 1311 |
residence or household, grant possession of the residence or | 1312 |
household to the petitioner or other family or household member, | 1313 |
to the exclusion of the respondent, by ordering the respondent to | 1314 |
vacate the premises, or, in the case of a consent agreement, allow | 1315 |
the respondent to provide suitable, alternative housing; | 1316 |
(2) If a protection order has been issued pursuant to this | 1336 |
section in a prior action involving the respondent and the | 1337 |
petitioner or one or more of the family or household members or | 1338 |
victims, the court may include in a protection order that it | 1339 |
issues a prohibition against the respondent returning to the | 1340 |
residence or household. If it includes a prohibition against the | 1341 |
respondent returning to the residence or household in the order, | 1342 |
it also shall include in the order provisions of the type | 1343 |
described in division (E)(7) of this section. This division does | 1344 |
not preclude the court from including in a protection order or | 1345 |
consent agreement, in circumstances other than those described in | 1346 |
this division, a requirement that the respondent be evicted from | 1347 |
or vacate the residence or household or refrain from entering the | 1348 |
residence, school, business, or place of employment of the | 1349 |
petitioner or a family or household member, and, if the court | 1350 |
includes any requirement of that type in an order or agreement, | 1351 |
the court also shall include in the order provisions of the type | 1352 |
described in division (E)(7) of this section. | 1353 |
(b) Subject to the limitation on the duration of an order or | 1359 |
agreement set forth in division (E)(3)(a) of this section, any | 1360 |
order under division (E)(1)(d) of this section shall terminate on | 1361 |
the date that a court in an action for divorce, dissolution of | 1362 |
marriage, or legal separation brought by the petitioner or | 1363 |
respondent issues an order allocating parental rights and | 1364 |
responsibilities for the care of children or on the date that a | 1365 |
juvenile court in an action brought by the petitioner or | 1366 |
respondent issues an order awarding legal custody of minor | 1367 |
children. Subject to the limitation on the duration of an order or | 1368 |
agreement set forth in division (E)(3)(a) of this section, any | 1369 |
order under division (E)(1)(e) of this section shall terminate on | 1370 |
the date that a court in an action for divorce, dissolution of | 1371 |
marriage, or legal separation brought by the petitioner or | 1372 |
respondent issues a support order or on the date that a juvenile | 1373 |
court in an action brought by the petitioner or respondent issues | 1374 |
a support order. | 1375 |
(d) After a full hearing at which the respondent presents | 1395 |
evidence in support of the request for a protection order and the | 1396 |
petitioner is afforded an opportunity to defend against that | 1397 |
evidence, the court determines that the petitioner has committed | 1398 |
an act of domestic violence or has violated a temporary protection | 1399 |
order issued pursuant to section 2919.26 of the Revised Code, that | 1400 |
both the petitioner and the respondent acted primarily as | 1401 |
aggressors, and that neither the petitioner nor the respondent | 1402 |
acted primarily in self-defense. | 1403 |
(6)(a) If a petitioner, or the child of a petitioner, who | 1407 |
obtains a protection order or consent agreement pursuant to | 1408 |
division (E)(1) of this section or a temporary protection order | 1409 |
pursuant to section 2919.26 of the Revised Code and is the subject | 1410 |
of a parenting time order issued pursuant to section 3109.051 or | 1411 |
3109.12 of the Revised Code or a visitation or companionship order | 1412 |
issued pursuant to section 3109.051, 3109.11, or 3109.12 of the | 1413 |
Revised Code or division (E)(1)(d) of this section granting | 1414 |
parenting time rights to the respondent, the court may require the | 1415 |
public children services agency of the county in which the court | 1416 |
is located to provide supervision of the respondent's exercise of | 1417 |
parenting time or visitation or companionship rights with respect | 1418 |
to the child for a period not to exceed nine months, if the court | 1419 |
makes the following findings of fact: | 1420 |
(7)(a) If a protection order issued or consent agreement | 1429 |
approved under this section includes a requirement that the | 1430 |
respondent be evicted from or vacate the residence or household or | 1431 |
refrain from entering the residence, school, business, or place of | 1432 |
employment of the petitioner or a family or household member, the | 1433 |
order or agreement shall state clearly that the order or agreement | 1434 |
cannot be waived or nullified by an invitation to the respondent | 1435 |
from the petitioner or other family or household member to enter | 1436 |
the residence, school, business, or place of employment or by the | 1437 |
respondent's entry into one of those places otherwise upon the | 1438 |
consent of the petitioner or other family or household member. | 1439 |
(b) Division (E)(7)(a) of this section does not limit any | 1440 |
discretion of a court to determine that a respondent charged with | 1441 |
a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code, with a | 1442 |
violation of a municipal ordinance substantially equivalent to | 1443 |
that section, or with contempt of court, which charge is based on | 1444 |
an alleged violation of a protection order issued or consent | 1445 |
agreement approved under this section, did not commit the | 1446 |
violation or was not in contempt of court. | 1447 |
(b) Either the petitioner or the respondent of the original | 1455 |
protection order or consent agreement may bring a motion for | 1456 |
modification or termination of a protection order or consent | 1457 |
agreement that was issued or approved after a full hearing. The | 1458 |
court shall require notice of the motion to be made as provided by | 1459 |
the Rules of Civil Procedure. If the petitioner for the original | 1460 |
protection order or consent agreement has requested that the | 1461 |
petitioner's address be kept confidential, the court shall not | 1462 |
disclose the address to the respondent of the original protection | 1463 |
order or consent agreement or any other person, except as | 1464 |
otherwise required by law. The moving party has the burden of | 1465 |
proof to show, by a preponderance of the evidence, that | 1466 |
modification or termination of the protection order or consent | 1467 |
agreement is appropriate because either the protection order or | 1468 |
consent agreement is no longer needed or because the terms of the | 1469 |
original protection order or consent agreement are no longer | 1470 |
appropriate. | 1471 |
(d) If a protection order or consent agreement is modified or | 1508 |
terminated as provided in division (E)(8) of this section, the | 1509 |
court shall issue copies of the modified or terminated order or | 1510 |
agreement as provided in division (F) of this section. A | 1511 |
petitioner may also provide notice of the modification or | 1512 |
termination to the judicial and law enforcement officials in any | 1513 |
county other than the county in which the order or agreement is | 1514 |
modified or terminated as provided in division (N) of this | 1515 |
section. | 1516 |
(F)(1) A copy of any protection order, or consent agreement, | 1524 |
that is issued, approved, modified, or terminated under this | 1525 |
section shall be issued by the court to the petitioner, to the | 1526 |
respondent, and to all law enforcement agencies that have | 1527 |
jurisdiction to enforce the order or agreement. The court shall | 1528 |
direct that a copy of an order be delivered to the respondent on | 1529 |
the same day that the order is entered. | 1530 |
As a result of this order or consent agreement, it may be | 1536 |
unlawful for you to possess or purchase a firearm, including a | 1537 |
rifle, pistol, or revolver, or ammunition pursuant to federal law | 1538 |
under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(8). If you have any questions whether this | 1539 |
law makes it illegal for you to possess or purchase a firearm or | 1540 |
ammunition, you should consult an attorney." | 1541 |
(4) Regardless of whether the petitioner has registered the | 1548 |
order or agreement in the county in which the officer's agency has | 1549 |
jurisdiction pursuant to division (N) of this section, any officer | 1550 |
of a law enforcement agency shall enforce a protection order | 1551 |
issued or consent agreement approved by any court in this state in | 1552 |
accordance with the provisions of the order or agreement, | 1553 |
including removing the respondent from the premises, if | 1554 |
appropriate. | 1555 |
(G) Any proceeding under this section shall be conducted in | 1556 |
accordance with the Rules of Civil Procedure, except that an order | 1557 |
under this section may be obtained with or without bond. An order | 1558 |
issued under this section, other than an ex parte order, that | 1559 |
grants a protection order or approves a consent agreement, that | 1560 |
refuses to grant a protection order or approve a consent agreement | 1561 |
that modifies or terminates a protection order or consent | 1562 |
agreement, or that refuses to modify or terminate a protection | 1563 |
order or consent agreement, is a final, appealable order. The | 1564 |
remedies and procedures provided in this section are in addition | 1565 |
to, and not in lieu of, any other available civil or criminal | 1566 |
remedies. | 1567 |
(H) The filing of proceedings under this section does not | 1568 |
excuse a person from filing any report or giving any notice | 1569 |
required by section 2151.421 of the Revised Code or by any other | 1570 |
law. When a petition under this section alleges domestic violence | 1571 |
against minor children, the court shall report the fact, or cause | 1572 |
reports to be made, to a county, township, or municipal peace | 1573 |
officer under section 2151.421 of the Revised Code. | 1574 |
(J) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary and | 1579 |
regardless of whether a protection order is issued or a consent | 1580 |
agreement is approved by a court of another county or a court of | 1581 |
another state, no court or unit of state or local government shall | 1582 |
charge any fee, cost, deposit, or money in connection with the | 1583 |
filing of a petition pursuant to this section or in connection | 1584 |
with the filing, issuance, registration, or service of a | 1585 |
protection order or consent agreement, or for obtaining a | 1586 |
certified copy of a protection order or consent agreement. | 1587 |
(2) If any person required to pay child support under an | 1591 |
order made under this section on or after April 15, 1985, or | 1592 |
modified under this section on or after December 31, 1986, is | 1593 |
found in contempt of court for failure to make support payments | 1594 |
under the order, the court that makes the finding, in addition to | 1595 |
any other penalty or remedy imposed, shall assess all court costs | 1596 |
arising out of the contempt proceeding against the person and | 1597 |
require the person to pay any reasonable attorney's fees of any | 1598 |
adverse party, as determined by the court, that arose in relation | 1599 |
to the act of contempt. | 1600 |
(2) The punishment of a person for contempt of court for | 1608 |
violation of a protection order issued or a consent agreement | 1609 |
approved under this section does not bar criminal prosecution of | 1610 |
the person for a violation of section 2919.27 of the Revised Code. | 1611 |
However, a person punished for contempt of court is entitled to | 1612 |
credit for the punishment imposed upon conviction of a violation | 1613 |
of that section, and a person convicted of a violation of that | 1614 |
section shall not subsequently be punished for contempt of court | 1615 |
arising out of the same activity. | 1616 |
(N)(1) A petitioner who obtains a protection order or consent | 1619 |
agreement under this section or a temporary protection order under | 1620 |
section 2919.26 of the Revised Code may provide notice of the | 1621 |
issuance or approval of the order or agreement to the judicial and | 1622 |
law enforcement officials in any county other than the county in | 1623 |
which the order is issued or the agreement is approved by | 1624 |
registering that order or agreement in the other county pursuant | 1625 |
to division (N)(2) of this section and filing a copy of the | 1626 |
registered order or registered agreement with a law enforcement | 1627 |
agency in the other county in accordance with that division. A | 1628 |
person who obtains a protection order issued by a court of another | 1629 |
state may provide notice of the issuance of the order to the | 1630 |
judicial and law enforcement officials in any county of this state | 1631 |
by registering the order in that county pursuant to section | 1632 |
2919.272 of the Revised Code and filing a copy of the registered | 1633 |
order with a law enforcement agency in that county. | 1634 |
Sec. 4732.141. (A)(1) On or before the thirty-first day of | 1663 |
August of each even-numbered year beginning in 1998 and until the | 1664 |

on the registration form prescribed by the board under that | 1682 |
section, that in the preceding two years the person has completed | 1683 |
continuing psychology education in compliance with this section. | 1684 |
The board shall adopt rules establishing the procedure for a | 1685 |

The state board of psychology may disapprove any program or | 1704 |

association, Ohio association of black psychologists, American | 1706 |
psychological association, state board of education, Ohio school | 1707 |
psychologists association, or national association of school | 1708 |
psychologists. Such program or course may not be applied to meet | 1709 |
the requirement of division (A) of this section. | 1710 |
(C) Each person licensed under this chapter shall be given a | 1711 |
sufficient choice of continuing education programs or courses in | 1712 |
psychology, including programs or courses on professional conduct | 1713 |
and ethics when required under division (A)(2) of this section, to | 1714 |
ensure that the person has had a reasonable opportunity to | 1715 |
participate in programs or courses that are relevant to the | 1716 |
person's practice in terms of subject matter and level. | 1717 |
(E) Each person licensed under this chapter shall retain in | 1721 |
