and the offense related to that office or position; the offender's 246
position obliged the offender to prevent the offense or to bring 247
those committing it to justice; or the offender's professional 248
reputation or position facilitated the offense or was likely to 249
influence the future conduct of others.250

       (e) The offender committed the offense for hire or as part of 251
an organized criminal activity.252

       (f) The offense is a sex offense that is a fourth or fifth 253

section and if the court, after considering the factors set forth 266
in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a prison term 267
is consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set 268
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and finds that the 269
offender is not amenable to an available community control 270
sanction, the court shall impose a prison term upon the offender.271

       (b) Except as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this 272
section, if the court does not make a finding described in 273
division (B)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) of 274
this section and if the court, after considering the factors set 275
forth in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a 276
community control sanction or combination of community control 277
sanctions is consistent with the purposes and principles of 278

sanction for a felony of the third degree or a felony drug offense 284
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised 285
Code and that is specified as being subject to this division for 286
purposes of sentencing, the sentencing court shall comply with the 287
purposes and principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the 288
Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of the Revised Code.289

       (D)(1) Except as provided in division (E) or (F) of this 290
section, for a felony of the first or second degree, for a felony 291
drug offense that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 292
2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption 293
in favor of a prison term is specified as being applicable, and 294
for a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of section 2907.05 of 295
the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a prison term 296
is specified as being applicable, it is presumed that a prison 297
term is necessary in order to comply with the purposes and 298
principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the Revised 299
Code. Division (D)(2) of this section does not apply to a 300
presumption established under this division for a violation of 301
division (A)(4) of section 2907.05 of the Revised Code.302

       (2) Notwithstanding the presumption established under 303
division (D)(1) of this section for the offenses listed in that 304
division other than a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of 305
section 2907.05 of the Revised Code, the sentencing court may 306
impose a community control sanction or a combination of community 307
control sanctions instead of a prison term on an offender for a 308
felony of the first or second degree or for a felony drug offense 309
that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 2925., 3719., or 310
4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a 311
prison term is specified as being applicable if it makes both of 312
the following findings:313

       (a) A community control sanction or a combination of 314
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender 315
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable 316
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a 317
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors 318
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.319

       (b) A community control sanction or a combination of 320
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of 321
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of 322
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was 323
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are 324
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that 325
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious 326
than conduct normally constituting the offense.327

       (E)(1) Except as provided in division (F) of this section, 328
for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of 329
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the 330
third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of a presumption 331
under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of 332
division (B) or (C) of this section in determining whether to 333
impose a prison term for the offense shall be determined as 334
specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06, 335
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 2925.37 of the 336
Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation.337

       (2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to 338
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction 339
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive 340
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation 341
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned 342
unless the court determines on the record either of the following:343

       (a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the 344
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug 345
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program, 346
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable 347
period of participation in the program.348

       (b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is 349
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set 350
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code.351

       (3) A court that sentences an offender for a drug abuse 352
offense that is a felony of the third, fourth, or fifth degree may 353
require that the offender be assessed by a properly credentialed 354
professional within a specified period of time. The court shall 355
require the professional to file a written assessment of the 356
offender with the court. If the offender is eligible for a 357
community control sanction and after considering the written 358
assessment, the court may impose a community control sanction that 359
includes treatment and recovery support services authorized by 360
section 3793.02 of the Revised Code. If the court imposes 361
treatment and recovery support services as a community control 362
sanction, the court shall direct the level and type of treatment 363
and recovery support services after considering the assessment and 364
recommendation of treatment and recovery support services 365
providers.366

       (F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, the 367
court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections 2929.02 368
to 2929.06, section 2929.14, section 2929.142, or section 2971.03 369
of the Revised Code and except as specifically provided in section 370
2929.20 or 2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is 371
authorized for the offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised 372
Code shall not reduce the term or terms pursuant to section 373
2929.20, section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. 374
or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code for any of the following 375
offenses:376

       (1) Aggravated murder when death is not imposed or murder;377

       (2) Any rape, regardless of whether force was involved and 378
regardless of the age of the victim, or an attempt to commit rape 379
if, had the offender completed the rape that was attempted, the 380
offender would have been guilty of a violation of division 381
(A)(1)(b) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and would be 382
sentenced under section 2971.03 of the Revised Code;383

       (3) Gross sexual imposition or sexual battery, if the victim 384
is less than thirteen years of age and if any of the following 385
applies:386

       (G) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, if 499
an offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony OVI 500
offense or for a third degree felony OVI offense, the court shall 501
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration 502
or a mandatory prison term in accordance with the following:503

       (1) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree 504
felony OVI offense and if the offender has not been convicted of 505
and has not pleaded guilty to a specification of the type 506
described in section 2941.1413 of the Revised Code, the court may 507
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration 508
of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in division 509
(G)(1)(d) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. The court shall 510
not reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.193, or any 511
other provision of the Revised Code. The court that imposes a 512
mandatory term of local incarceration under this division shall 513
specify whether the term is to be served in a jail, a 514
community-based correctional facility, a halfway house, or an 515
alternative residential facility, and the offender shall serve the 516
term in the type of facility specified by the court. A mandatory 517
term of local incarceration imposed under division (G)(1) of this 518
section is not subject to any other Revised Code provision that 519
pertains to a prison term except as provided in division (A)(1) of 520
this section.521

       (2) If the offender is being sentenced for a third degree 522
felony OVI offense, or if the offender is being sentenced for a 523
fourth degree felony OVI offense and the court does not impose a 524
mandatory term of local incarceration under division (G)(1) of 525
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory 526
prison term of one, two, three, four, or five years if the 527
offender also is convicted of or also pleads guilty to a 528
specification of the type described in section 2941.1413 of the 529
Revised Code or shall impose upon the offender a mandatory prison 530
term of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in 531
division (G)(1)(d) or (e) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code 532
if the offender has not been convicted of and has not pleaded 533
guilty to a specification of that type. The court shall not reduce 534
the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.193, or any other 535
provision of the Revised Code. The offender shall serve the one-, 536
two-, three-, four-, or five-year mandatory prison term 537
consecutively to and prior to the prison term imposed for the 538
underlying offense and consecutively to any other mandatory prison 539
term imposed in relation to the offense. In no case shall an 540
offender who once has been sentenced to a mandatory term of local 541
incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1) of this section for a 542
fourth degree felony OVI offense be sentenced to another mandatory 543
term of local incarceration under that division for any violation 544
of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. In 545
addition to the mandatory prison term described in division (G)(2) 546
of this section, the court may sentence the offender to a 547
community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the 548
Revised Code, but the offender shall serve the prison term prior 549
to serving the community control sanction. The department of 550
rehabilitation and correction may place an offender sentenced to a 551
mandatory prison term under this division in an intensive program 552
prison established pursuant to section 5120.033 of the Revised 553
Code if the department gave the sentencing judge prior notice of 554
its intent to place the offender in an intensive program prison 555
established under that section and if the judge did not notify the 556
department that the judge disapproved the placement. Upon the 557
establishment of the initial intensive program prison pursuant to 558
section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is privately operated 559
and managed by a contractor pursuant to a contract entered into 560
under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both of the following 561
apply:562

       (a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall 563
make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of 564
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division 565
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that 566
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.567

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full 568
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 569
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 570
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant 571
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 572
operated and managed prison.573

       (H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 574
offense or child-victim oriented offense that is a felony 575
committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall require the 576
offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection procedure pursuant 577
to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code.578

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 579
offense or a child-victim oriented offense committed on or after 580
January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a summary 581
of the offender's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 582
2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and the duration of the 583
duties. The judge shall inform the offender, at the time of 584
sentencing, of those duties and of their duration. If required 585
under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, the 586
judge shall perform the duties specified in that section, or, if 587
required under division (A)(6) of section 2950.03 of the Revised 588
Code, the judge shall perform the duties specified in that 589
division.590

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 591
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation 592
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 593
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 594
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors 595
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section 596
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to 597
the felony category of the offense attempted.598

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 599
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 600
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is 601
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled 602
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court 603
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that 604
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse 605
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of 606
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next 607
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in 608
the attempt.609

       (K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the 610
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.611

       (L) At the time of sentencing an offender for any sexually 612
oriented offense, if the offender is a tier III sex 613
offender/child-victim offender relative to that offense and the 614
offender does not serve a prison term or jail term, the court may 615
require that the offender be monitored by means of a global 616
positioning device. If the court requires such monitoring, the 617
cost of monitoring shall be borne by the offender. If the offender 618
is indigent, the cost of compliance shall be paid by the crime 619
victims reparations fund.620

       Section 2.  That existing sections 2909.07 and 2929.13 of the 621
Revised Code are hereby repealed.622
