A BILL

To amend sections 2950.02, 2950.034, and 2950.04 of

the Revised Code to specify that the restriction

against offenders convicted of a sexually

oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense

establishing or occupying a residence near

school, preschool, or child day-care premises

generally applies regardless of when the offense

was committed or the offender began living in the

residence, to provide an exemption from the ban

for offenders who occupy residential premises they

or their spouse own at the time of occupancy and

also owned prior to the ban's effective date, and

to specify that a registration requirement for

children adjudicated delinquent for a sexually

oriented offense and classified a juvenile

offender registrant applies regardless of when the

offense was committed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

Section 1. That sections 2950.02, 2950.034, and 2950.04 of	18
the Revised Code be amended to read as follows:	19

Sec. 2950.02. (A) The general assembly hereby determines and	20
declares that it recognizes and finds all of the following:	21

(1) If the public is provided adequate notice and information	22
about offenders and delinquent children who commit sexually	23
oriented offenses or who commit child-victim oriented offenses,	24
members of the public and communities can develop constructive	25
plans to prepare themselves and their children for the offender's	26
or delinquent child's release from imprisonment, a prison term, or	27
other confinement or detention. This allows members of the public	28
and communities to meet with members of law enforcement agencies	29
to prepare and obtain information about the rights and	30
responsibilities of the public and the communities and to provide	31
education and counseling to their children.	32

(2) Sex offenders and child-victim offenders pose a risk of	33
engaging in further sexually abusive behavior even after being	34
released from imprisonment, a prison term, or other confinement	35
or detention, and protection of members of the public from sex	36
offenders and child-victim offenders is a paramount governmental	37
interest.	38

(3) The penal, juvenile, and mental health components of the	39
justice system of this state are largely hidden from public view,	40
and a lack of information from any component may result in the	41
failure of the system to satisfy this paramount governmental	42
interest of public safety described in division (A)(2) of this	43
section.	44

(4) Overly restrictive confidentiality and liability laws	45
governing the release of information about sex offenders and	46
child-victim offenders have reduced the willingness to release	47
information that could be appropriately released under the public	48
disclosure laws and have increased risks of public safety.	49

(5) A person who is found to be a sex offender or a	50
child-victim offender has a reduced expectation of privacy	51
because of the public's interest in public safety and in the	52
effective operation of government.	53

(6) The release of information about sex offenders and	54
child-victim offenders to public agencies and the general public	55
will further the governmental interests of public safety and	56
public scrutiny of the criminal, juvenile, and mental health	57
systems as long as the information released is rationally related	58
to the furtherance of those goals.	59

(B) The general assembly hereby declares that, in providing	60
in this chapter for registration regarding offenders and certain	61
delinquent children who have committed sexually oriented offenses	62
or who have committed child-victim oriented offenses, for a	63
limited restriction on the locales at which offenders who have	64
committed any such offenses may reside, and for community	65
notification regarding tier III sex offenders/child-victim	66
offenders who are criminal offenders, public registry-qualified	67
juvenile offender registrants, and certain other juvenile	68
offender registrants who are about to be or have been released	69
from imprisonment, a prison term, or other confinement or	70
detention and who will live in or near a particular neighborhood	71
or who otherwise will live in or near a particular neighborhood,	72
it is the general assembly's intent to protect the safety and	73
general welfare of the people of this state. The general assembly	74
further declares that it is the policy of this state to require	75
the exchange in accordance with this chapter of relevant	76
information about sex offenders and child-victim offenders	77
among public agencies and officials ~~and~~, to authorize the release	78
in accordance with this chapter of necessary and relevant	79
information about sex offenders and child-victim offenders to	80
members of the general public as a means of assuring public	81
protection, and to provide a limited residency restriction and	82
other safeguards under this chapter from the potential acts of	83
sex offenders and child-victim offenders, and that the exchange	84
or release of that information is, and the residency	85
restriction and other safeguards, are not punitive.	86

Sec. 2950.034. (A) NoRegardless of whether the person	87
committed the offense prior to, on, or after the effective date of	88
this amendment, no person who has been convicted of, is convicted	89
