except as otherwise provided in this division, the child may	358

subsequent to the hearing, the delinquent child shall comply with	382
Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it exists on and after	383
January 1, 2008. If a delinquent child requests a hearing in	384
accordance with this division, at the hearing, all parties are	385
entitled to be heard, and the court shall consider all relevant	386
information and testimony presented relative to the issue of	387
whether the child should be classified a public registry-qualified	388
juvenile offender registrant. Notwithstanding the court's	389
classification of the delinquent child as a public	390
registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant, the court may	391
terminate that classification if it determines by clear and	392
convincing evidence that the classification is in error.	393

If the court decides to terminate the court's classification	394
of the delinquent child as a public registry-qualified juvenile	395
offender registrant, the court shall issue an order that specifies	396
that it has determined that the child is not a public	397
registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant and that it has	398
terminated the court's classification of the delinquent child as a	399
public registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant. The court	400
promptly shall serve a copy of the order upon the sheriff with	401
whom the delinquent child most recently registered under section	402
2950.04 or 2950.041 of the Revised Code and upon the bureau of	403
criminal identification and investigation. The delinquent child	404
and the prosecutor have the right to appeal the decision of the	405
court issued under this division.	406

If the delinquent child fails to request a hearing in	407
accordance with this division within the applicable sixty-day	408
period specified in this division, the failure constitutes a	409
waiver by the delinquent child of the delinquent child's right to	410
a hearing under this division, and the delinquent child is bound	411
by the court's classification of the delinquent child as a public	412
registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant.	413

(2) An order issued under division (D)(1) of this section is	414
independent of any court order of a type described in division (F)	415
of section 2950.031 of the Revised Code or division (E) of section	416
2950.032 of the Revised Codespecifying the judicial tier	417
reclassification of a delinquent child, and the court may issue	418
both an order under both division (D)(1) of this section and an	419
order of a type described in division (F) of section 2950.031 of	420
the Revised Code or division (E) of section 2950.032 of the	421
Revised Codespecifying the judicial tier reclassification for the	422
same delinquent child. A court that conducts a hearing under	423
division (D)(1) of this section may consolidate that hearing with	424
a hearing conducted for the same delinquent child under division	425
(F) of section 2950.031 of the Revised Code or division (E) of	426
section 2950.0322950.035 or 2950.036 of the Revised Code to	427

and the delinquent child's parents pursuant to division (C)(1) of	1343

with sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the	1349
Revised Code was or is scheduled to terminate on or after June 3,	1350
2010, and prior to July 1, 2011, as described in division (B)(1)	1351
of section 2950.037 of the Revised Code and if the offender is a	1352
targeted offender or the child is a targeted delinquent child,	1353
include a summary of the provisions of division (B)(1) of section	1354
2950.037 of the Revised Code and the application of those	1355

Revised Code was terminated on or before June 3, 2010, as	1359
described in division (B)(2) of section 2950.037 of the Revised	1360
Code and if the offender is a targeted offender or the child is a	1361
targeted delinquent child, include a summary of the provisions of	1362
division (B)(2) of section 2950.037 of the Revised Code and the	1363
application of those provisions to the offender or child.	1364

(D) A court that is required to make a determination under	1365
division (B) of this section shall make the determination for each	1366
offender or delinquent child described in that division and send	1367
the registered letter required under division (C) of this section	1368
to each such offender or delinquent child even if either of the	1369
following applies:	1370

(1) The offender's or delinquent child's duty to comply with	1371
sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised	1372
Code was or is scheduled to terminate on or after June 3, 2010,	1373
and prior to July 1, 2011, as described in division (B)(1) of	1374
section 2950.037 of the Revised Code, provided that this division	1375
applies only if the offender is a targeted offender or the	1376
delinquent child is a targeted delinquent child.	1377

(2) The offender's or delinquent child's duty to comply with	1378
sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised	1379
Code was terminated on or before June 3, 2010, as described in	1380
division (B)(2) of section 2950.037 of the Revised Code, provided	1381
that this division applies only if the offender is a targeted	1382
offender or the delinquent child is a targeted delinquent child.	1383

(E) At a hearing held under division (B) of this section, all	1384
parties are entitled to be heard, and the court shall consider all	1385
relevant information and testimony presented relative to the new	1386
tier classification of the offender or delinquent child under	1387
Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it exists on July 1, 2011.	1388

Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, if an	1389
offender or delinquent child on the date scheduled for the hearing	1390
under division (B) of this section is serving a prison term in a	1391
state correctional institution or a jail term, is confined in an	1392
institution of the department of youth services, or otherwise is	1393
confined, the offender or delinquent child shall appear at the	1394
hearing by video conferencing equipment if available and	1395
compatible. Upon the court's own motion or the motion of the	1396
offender, the delinquent child, or the prosecutor representing the	1397
interests of the state and a determination by the court that the	1398
interests of justice require that the offender or delinquent child	1399
be present, the court may permit the offender or delinquent child	1400
to be physically present at the hearing. An appearance by video	1401
conferencing equipment pursuant to this division has the same	1402
force and effect as if the offender or delinquent child were	1403
physically present at the hearing.	1404

At the conclusion of the hearing held under division (B) of	1405
this section, the court shall issue an order that specifies the	1406
offender's or delinquent child's new classification as a tier I	1407
sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex	1408
offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex	1409
offender/child-victim offender under Chapter 2950. of the Revised	1410
Code as it exists on July 1, 2011, and, if the hearing was held	1411
for a delinquent child, whether the court determined pursuant to	1412
section 2151.86 of the Revised Code that the child is a public	1413
registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant. The order also	1414
shall notify the offender or the delinquent child and the	1415
delinquent child's parents of the offender's or child's duties, as	1416
a result of that new tier classification, under Chapter 2950. of	1417
the Revised Code as it exists on July 1, 2011, and the duration of	1418
those duties. The court immediately shall provide a copy of the	1419
order to the offender or delinquent child, the prosecutor, and the	1420
delinquent child's parents.	1421

Until a court makes any required determination under division	1422
(B) of this section regarding an offender or delinquent child, the	1423
offender or delinquent child shall comply with Chapter 2950. of	1424
the Revised Code as it existed prior to January 1, 2008.	1425

(F) Each court that sends any registered letter under	1426
division (C) of this section shall maintain the return receipts	1427
for all offenders, delinquent children, and parents of delinquent	1428
children who are sent a registered letter under that division. For	1429
each offender, delinquent child, and parent of a delinquent child	1430
who is sent a registered letter under that division, all of the	1431
following apply:	1432

(1) If the offender or child has registered an address in	1433
this state, the court shall send a copy of the return receipt for	1434
the offender, child, or parents, and an explanation of it, to the	1435
sheriff with whom the offender or delinquent child most recently	1436
registered a residence address and, if applicable, a school,	1437
institution of higher education, or place of employment address.	1438

(2) The court shall send a copy of the return receipt for the	1439
offender, child, or parents, and an explanation of it, to the	1440
prosecutor of the county in which the court is located.	1441

(3) If the offender or child has registered a residence	1442
address in this state and the return receipt indicates that the	1443
offender, child, or parent does not reside or have temporary	1444
domicile at the listed address, the court immediately shall	1445
provide notice of that fact to the sheriff with whom the offender	1446
or child registered that residence address.	1447

(G) Each court that issues an order under division (E) of	1448
this section promptly shall serve a copy of the order upon the	1449
sheriff with whom the offender or delinquent child who is the	1450
subject of the order most recently registered under section	1451
2950.04, 2950.041, or 2950.05 of the Revised Code, if applicable,	1452
and upon the bureau of criminal identification and investigation.	1453
The court promptly shall send a copy of the order to the	1454
department of rehabilitation and correction if the offender on the	1455
date the order is issued is serving a prison term, the jail	1456
administrator if the offender on that date is serving a jail term,	1457
the department of youth services if the delinquent child on that	1458
date is confined in an institution of the department, or the place	1459
at which the offender or delinquent child otherwise is confined on	1460
that date.	1461

(H) An offender or delinquent child for whom a court makes a	1462
determination under division (B) of this section, or the	1463
prosecutor who represented the interest of the state at the	1464
hearing at which the determination was made, may appeal the	1465
determination to the appropriate court of appeals. An appeal under	1466
this division shall be in accordance with and governed by the	1467
Appellate Rules. In any appeal made under this division, the	1468
prosecutor who represented the interest of the state at the	1469
hearing at which the determination was made shall represent the	1470
interests of the state in the appeal.	1471

If an offender, delinquent child, or prosecutor appeals a	1472
determination under this division, until the court of appeals	1473
issues its decision, the offender or child shall comply with	1474
Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it exists on July 1, 2011,	1475
based on the determination that the offender, child, or prosecutor	1476
appealed.	1477

(I) The determination by a court of an offender's or	1478
delinquent child's new classification as a tier I sex	1479
offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex	1480
offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex	1481
offender/child-victim offender pursuant to division (B) of this	1482
section does not affect, and is independent of, that court's or	1483
another court's prior judgment of conviction of the offender, the	1484
offender's prior guilty plea, or that court's or another court's	1485
prior adjudication of the child as a delinquent child for	1486
committing the sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented	1487
offense upon which the classification is based and does not	1488
affect, and is independent of, the sentence imposed upon the	1489
offender or the disposition made of the child as a result of that	1490
prior conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication.	1491

A court's classification of an offender or delinquent child,	1492
prior to July 1, 2011, as a sexual predator, child-victim	1493
predator, habitual sex offender, or habitual child-victim	1494
offender, or as being in none of those categories, based on a	1495
sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense	1496
committed prior to January 1, 2008, was a collateral consequence	1497
of the offender's or child's conviction of, plea of guilty to, or	1498
delinquent child adjudication for committing that sexually	1499
oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense. A court's new	1500
classification of an offender or delinquent child as a tier I sex	1501
offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex	1502
offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex	1503
offender/child-victim offender pursuant to division (B) of this	1504
section based on a sexually oriented offense or child-victim	1505
oriented offense committed prior to January 1, 2008, is a	1506
collateral consequence of the offender's or child's conviction of,	1507
plea of guilty to, or delinquent child adjudication for committing	1508
that sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense.	1509

(J)(1) If a juvenile court is required to make a	1510
determination under division (B) of this section, division (D)(2)	1511
of section 2152.86 of the Revised Code applies.	1512

(2) If a juvenile court issues an order under division (A)(2)	1513
or (3) of section 2152.86 of the Revised Code that classifies a	1514
delinquent child as a public-registry qualified juvenile offender	1515
registrant and if the child's delinquent act was committed prior	1516
to January 1, 2008, a challenge to the classification contained in	1517
the order shall be made pursuant to division (D) of section	1518
2152.86 of the Revised Code.	1519

(K) As used in this section, "targeted offender" and	1520
"targeted delinquent child" have the same meanings as in section	1521
2950.037 of the Revised Code.	1522

Sec. 2950.036.  (A) If, on or after July 31, 2011, a person	1523
is convicted of, pleads guilty to, or is adjudicated a delinquent	1524
child in this state for committing a sexually oriented offense or	1525
child-victim oriented offense that was committed prior to January	1526
1, 2008, at the time of sentencing of the offender or the making	1527
of a disposition of the delinquent child, the court shall	1528
determine the offender's or child's new classification as a tier I	1529
sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex	1530
offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex	1531
offender/child-victim offender under Chapter 2950. of the Revised	1532
Code as it exists on July 1, 2011, and the offender's or child's	1533
duties under Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as a result of that	1534
new tier classification.	1535

(B) If a person is convicted, pleads guilty, was convicted,	1536
pleaded guilty, is adjudicated a delinquent child, or was	1537
adjudicated a delinquent child in a court in another state, in a	1538
federal court, military court, or Indian tribal court, or in a	1539
court in any nation other than the United States for committing a	1540
sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense that	1541
was committed prior to January 1, 2008, if the person registers an	1542
address in this state, and if the person does not register the	1543
address in this state until after July 31, 2011, the sheriff with	1544
whom the person registers the address shall provide notice of the	1545
type described in division (A)(2) of section 2950.035 of the	1546
Revised Code regarding the offender or delinquent child to the	1547
court described in division (A)(2)(a), (b), or (c) of that	1548
section. Upon receipt of the notice, the court promptly shall	1549
determine for the offender or delinquent child the offender's or	1550
child's new classification as a tier I sex offender/child-victim	1551
offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier	1552
III sex offender/child-victim offender under Chapter 2950. of the	1553
Revised Code as it exists on July 1, 2011, and the offender's or	1554
child's duties under Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as a result	1555
of that new tier classification.	1556

(C) In making its determination under division (A) or (B) of	1557
this section, a court shall comply with divisions (B) to (E) of	1558
section 2950.035 of the Revised Code and issue an order as	1559
described in those divisions. However, the dates specified in	1560
those divisions for compliance with their provisions do not apply	1561
in making the determination under division (A) or (B) of this	1562
section, and divisions (C) and (F) of section 2950.035 of the	1563
Revised Code do not apply in making the determination under	1564
division (A) of this section. Divisions (G) to (I) and division	1565
(K) of section 2950.035 of the Revised Code apply to a	1566
determination made under division (A) or (B) of this section and	1567
an order that includes such a determination.	1568

Sec. 2950.037.  (A) As used in this section:

1569

offender registrant relative to that offense or subsequently is	2810
convicted of or pleads guilty to another sexually oriented offense	2811
or a child-victim oriented offense, or if a delinquent child has	2812
been adjudicated a delinquent child for committing a child-victim	2813
oriented offense and is classified a juvenile offender registrant	2814
or is an out-of-state juvenile offender registrant and the child	2815
subsequently is adjudicated a delinquent child for committing	2816
another child-victim oriented offense or a sexually oriented	2817
offense and is classified a juvenile offender registrant relative	2818
to that offense or subsequently is convicted of or pleads guilty	2819
to another child-victim oriented offense or a sexually oriented	2820
offense, the period of time for which the offender or delinquent	2821
child must comply with the sections specified in division (A) of	2822
this section shall be separately calculated pursuant to divisions	2823
(A)(1) to (8) and (B)(1) to (3) of this section for each of the	2824

the offender or delinquent child shall comply with each separately	2826
calculated period of time independently.	2827

offense, and, after attaining eighteen years of age, subsequently	2832
is convicted of or pleads guilty to another sexually oriented	2833
offense or child-victim oriented offense, the subsequent	2834
conviction or guilty plea does not limit, affect, or supersede the	2835
duties imposed upon the delinquent child under this chapter	2836
relative to the delinquent child's classification as a juvenile	2837
offender registrant or as an out-of-state juvenile offender	2838
registrant, and the delinquent child shall comply with both those	2839
duties and the duties imposed under this chapter relative to the	2840
subsequent conviction or guilty plea.	2841

(2) If a delinquent child has been adjudicated a delinquent	2842
child for committing a sexually oriented offense or a child-victim	2843
oriented offense and is classified a juvenile offender registrant	2844

successor in office subsequently reclassifies the offense tier in	2846
which the child is classified pursuant to section 2152.84 or	2847
2152.85 of the Revised Code, the judge's subsequent determination	2848
to reclassify the child does not affect the date of commencement	2849

2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code as determined	2851

period of time for which the person had to comply with those	2872
sections prior to January 1, 2008, and is a continuation of the	2873
person's duty to comply with the sections that was in effect prior	2874
to the reclassification of the person as described in this	2875
division. If, prior to January 1, 2008, an offender or a	2876

the confinement in a secure facility or imprisonment occurs	2890
subsequent to the date determined pursuant to division (A) of this	2891
section. The offender's or delinquent child's duty to register	2892
