of the case charging the person with committing that act. In those 1448
circumstances, divisions (A) and (B) of section 2152.12 of the 1449

of the offense as if the person had been eighteen years of age or 1453
older when the person committed the act. All proceedings 1454
pertaining to the act shall be within the jurisdiction of the 1455

that division (A) of this section applies and requires that the 1901
case or cases involving one or more of the acts charged be 1902
transferred for, and if a motion also is made requesting that the 1903
case or cases involving one or more of the acts charged be 1904

court, in deciding the motions, shall proceed in the following 1906
manner:1907

       (1) Initially, the court shall decide the motion alleging 1908
that division (A) of this section applies and requires that the 1909
case or cases involving one or more of the acts charged be 1910
transferred.1911

       (2) If the court determines that division (A) of this section 1912
applies and requires that the case or cases involving one or more 1913
of the acts charged be transferred, the court shall transfer the 1914
case or cases in accordance with that division. After the transfer 1915
pursuant to division (A) of this section, the court shall decide, 1916
in accordance with division (B) of this section, whether to grant 1917
the motion requesting that the case or cases involving one or more 1918
of the acts charged be transferred pursuant to that division. 1919
Notwithstanding division (B) of this section, prior to 1920
transferring a case pursuant to division (A) of this section, the 1921
court is not required to consider any factor specified in division 1922
(D) or (E) of this section or to conduct an investigation under 1923
division (C) of this section.1924

       (3) If the court determines that division (A) of this section 1925
does not require that the case or cases involving one or more of 1926
the acts charged be transferred, the court shall decide in 1927
accordance with division (B) of this section whether to grant the 1928
motion requesting that the case or cases involving one or more of 1929
the acts charged be transferred pursuant to that division.1930

       (G) The court shall give notice in writing of the time, 1931
place, and purpose of any hearing held pursuant to division (A) or 1932
(B) of this section to the child's parents, guardian, or other 1933
custodian and to the child's counsel at least three days prior to 1934
the hearing.1935

       (H) No person, either before or after reaching eighteen years 1936
of age, shall be prosecuted as an adult for an offense committed 1937
prior to becoming eighteen years of age, unless the person has 1938
been transferred as provided in division (A) or (B) of this 1939
section or unless division (J) of this section applies. Any 1940
prosecution that is had in a criminal court on the mistaken belief 1941
that the person who is the subject of the case was eighteen years 1942
of age or older at the time of the commission of the offense shall 1943
be deemed a nullity, and the person shall not be considered to 1944
have been in jeopardy on the offense.1945

this section, the juvenile court shall state the reasons for the 1947
transfer on the record, and shall order the child to enter into a 1948
recognizance with good and sufficient surety for the child's 1949
appearance before the appropriate court for any disposition that 1950
the court is authorized to make for a similar act committed by an 1951
adult. The transfer abates the jurisdiction of the juvenile court 1952
with respect to the delinquent acts alleged in the complaint, and, 1953
upon the transfer, all further proceedings pertaining to the act 1954
charged shall be discontinued in the juvenile court, and the case 1955

transferred as described in division (H) of section 2151.23 of the 1957
Revised Code.1958

       (J) If a person under eighteen years of age allegedly commits 1959
an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult and if the 1960
person is not taken into custody or apprehended for that act until 1961
after the person attains twenty-one years of age, the juvenile 1962
court does not have jurisdiction to hear or determine any portion 1963
of the case charging the person with committing that act. In those 1964
circumstances, divisions (A) and (B) of this section do not apply 1965
regarding the act, and the case charging the person with 1966
committing the act shall be a criminal prosecution commenced and 1967
heard in the appropriate court having jurisdiction of the offense 1968
as if the person had been eighteen years of age or older when the 1969
person committed the act. All proceedings pertaining to the act 1970
shall be within the jurisdiction of the court having jurisdiction 1971
of the offense, and that court has all the authority and duties in 1972
the case as it has in other criminal cases in that court.1973

       Sec. 2152.121.  (A) If a complaint is filed against a child 1974
alleging that the child is a delinquent child and the case is 1975
transferred pursuant to division (A)(1)(a)(i) or (A)(1)(b)(ii) of 1976
section 2152.12 of the Revised Code, the juvenile court that 1977
transferred the case shall retain jurisdiction for purposes of 1978
making disposition of the child when required under division (B) 1979
of this section.1980

       (B) If a complaint is filed against a child alleging that the 1981
child is a delinquent child, if the case is transferred pursuant 1982
to division (A)(1)(a)(i) or (A)(1)(b)(ii) of section 2152.12 of 1983
the Revised Code, and if the child subsequently is convicted of or 1984
pleads guilty to an offense in that case, the sentence to be 1985
imposed or disposition to be made of the child shall be determined 1986
as follows:1987

       (1) The court in which the child is convicted of or pleads 1988
guilty to the offense shall determine whether, had a complaint 1989
been filed in juvenile court alleging that the child was a 1990
delinquent child for committing an act that would be that offense 1991
if committed by an adult, division (A) of section 2152.12 of the 1992
Revised Code would have required mandatory transfer of the case or 1993
division (B) of that section would have allowed discretionary 1994
transfer of the case. The court shall not consider the factor 1995
specified in division (B)(3) of section 2152.12 of the Revised 1996
Code in making its determination under this division.1997

       (2) If the court in which the child is convicted of or pleads 1998
guilty to the offense determines under division (B)(1) of this 1999
section that, had a complaint been filed in juvenile court 2000
alleging that the child was a delinquent child for committing an 2001
act that would be that offense if committed by an adult, division 2002
(A) of section 2152.12 of the Revised Code would not have required 2003
mandatory transfer of the case, and division (B) of that section 2004
would not have allowed discretionary transfer of the case, the 2005
court shall transfer jurisdiction of the case back to the juvenile 2006
court that initially transferred the case, and the juvenile court 2007
shall impose one or more traditional juvenile dispositions upon 2008
the child under sections 2152.19 and 2152.20 of the Revised Code.2009

       (3) If the court in which the child is convicted of or pleads 2010
guilty to the offense determines under division (B)(1) of this 2011
section that, had a complaint been filed in juvenile court 2012
alleging that the child was a delinquent child for committing an 2013
act that would be that offense if committed by an adult, division 2014
(A) of section 2152.12 of the Revised Code would not have required 2015
mandatory transfer of the case but division (B) of that section 2016
would have allowed discretionary transfer of the case, the court 2017
shall determine the sentence it believes should be imposed upon 2018
the child under Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code, shall impose 2019
that sentence upon the child, and shall stay that sentence pending 2020
completion of the procedures specified in this division. Upon 2021
imposition and staying of the sentence, the court shall transfer 2022
jurisdiction of the case back to the juvenile court that initially 2023
transferred the case and the juvenile court shall proceed in 2024
accordance with this division. In no case may the child waive a 2025
right to a hearing of the type described in division (B)(3)(b) of 2026
this section, regarding a motion filed as described in that 2027
division by the prosecuting attorney in the case. Upon transfer of 2028
jurisdiction of the case back to the juvenile court, both of the 2029
following apply:2030

       (a) Except as otherwise provided in division (B)(3)(b) of 2031
this section, the juvenile court shall impose a serious youthful 2032
offender dispositional sentence upon the child under division 2033
(D)(1) of section 2152.13 of the Revised Code. In imposing the 2034
adult portion of that sentence, the juvenile court shall consider 2035
and give preference to the sentence imposed upon the child by the 2036
court in which the child was convicted of or pleaded guilty to the 2037
offense. Upon imposing a serious youthful offender dispositional 2038
sentence upon the child as described in this division, the 2039
juvenile court shall notify the court in which the child was 2040
convicted of or pleaded guilty to the offense, the sentence 2041
imposed upon the child by that court shall terminate, the court 2042
and all other agencies that have any record of the conviction of 2043
the child shall expunge the conviction or guilty plea and all 2044
records of it, the conviction or guilty plea shall be considered 2045
and treated for all purposes other than as provided in this 2046
section to have never occurred, and the conviction or guilty plea 2047
shall be considered and treated for all purposes other than as 2048
provided in this section to have been a delinquent child 2049
adjudication of the child.2050

       (b) Upon the transfer, the prosecuting attorney in the case 2051
may file a motion in the juvenile court that objects to the 2052
imposition of a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence 2053
upon the child and requests that the sentence imposed upon the 2054
child by the court in which the child was convicted of or pleaded 2055
guilty to the offense be invoked. Upon the filing of a motion 2056
under this division, the juvenile court shall hold a hearing to 2057
determine whether the child is not amenable to care or 2058
rehabilitation within the juvenile system and whether the safety 2059
of the community may require that the child be subject solely to 2060
adult sanctions. If the juvenile court at the hearing finds that 2061
the child is not amenable to care or rehabilitation within the 2062
juvenile system or that the safety of the community may require 2063
that the child be subject solely to adult sanctions, the court 2064
shall grant the motion. Absent such a finding, the juvenile court 2065
shall deny the motion. In making its decision under this division, 2066
the juvenile court shall consider the factors listed in division 2067
(D) of section 2152.12 of the Revised Code as factors indicating 2068
that the motion should be granted, shall consider the factors 2069
listed in division (E) of that section as factors indicating that 2070
the motion should not be granted, and shall consider whether the 2071
applicable factors listed in division (D) of that section outweigh 2072
the applicable factors listed in division (E) of that section.2073

       If the juvenile court grants the motion of the prosecuting 2074
attorney under this division, the juvenile court shall transfer 2075
jurisdiction of the case back to the court in which the child was 2076
convicted of or pleaded guilty to the offense, and the sentence 2077
imposed by that court shall be invoked. If the juvenile court 2078
denies the motion of the prosecuting attorney under this section, 2079
the juvenile court shall impose a serious youthful offender 2080
dispositional sentence upon the child in accordance with division 2081
(B)(3)(a) of this section. 2082

       (4) If the court in which the child is convicted of or pleads 2083
guilty to the offense determines under division (B)(1) of this 2084
section that, had a complaint been filed in juvenile court 2085
alleging that the child was a delinquent child for committing an 2086
act that would be that offense if committed by an adult, division 2087
(A) of section 2152.12 of the Revised Code would have required 2088
mandatory transfer of the case, the court shall impose sentence 2089
upon the child under Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code. 2090

       Sec. 2152.13.  (A) A juvenile court shall impose a serious 2091
youthful dispositional sentence on a child when required under 2092
division (B)(3) of section 2152.121 of the Revised Code. In such a 2093
case, the remaining provisions of this division and divisions (B) 2094
and (C) do not apply to the child, and the court shall impose the 2095
mandatory serious youthful dispositional sentence under division 2096
(D)(1) of this section.2097

       In all other cases, a juvenile court may impose a serious 2098
youthful offender dispositional sentence on a child only if the 2099
prosecuting attorney of the county in which the delinquent act 2100
allegedly occurred initiates the process against the child in 2101
accordance with this division, and the child is an alleged 2102
delinquent child who is eligible for the dispositional sentence. 2103
The prosecuting attorney may initiate the process in any of the 2104
following ways:2105

       (1) Obtaining an indictment of the child as a serious 2106
youthful offender;2107

       (2) The child waives the right to indictment, charging the 2108
child in a bill of information as a serious youthful offender;2109

       (3) Until an indictment or information is obtained, 2110
requesting a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence in 2111
the original complaint alleging that the child is a delinquent 2112
child;2113

       (4) Until an indictment or information is obtained, if the 2114
original complaint does not request a serious youthful offender 2115
dispositional sentence, filing with the juvenile court a written 2116
notice of intent to seek a serious youthful offender dispositional 2117
sentence within twenty days after the later of the following, 2118
unless the time is extended by the juvenile court for good cause 2119
shown:2120

       (a) The date of the child's first juvenile court hearing 2121
regarding the complaint;2122

       (b) The date the juvenile court determines not to transfer 2123
the case under section 2152.12 of the Revised Code.2124

       After a written notice is filed under division (A)(4) of this 2125
section, the juvenile court shall serve a copy of the notice on 2126
the child and advise the child of the prosecuting attorney's 2127
intent to seek a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence 2128
in the case.2129

       (B) If an alleged delinquent child is not indicted or charged 2130
by information as described in division (A)(1) or (2) of this 2131
section and if a notice or complaint as described in division 2132
(A)(3) or (4) of this section indicates that the prosecuting 2133
attorney intends to pursue a serious youthful offender 2134
dispositional sentence in the case, the juvenile court shall hold 2135
a preliminary hearing to determine if there is probable cause that 2136
the child committed the act charged and is by age eligible for, or 2137
required to receive, a serious youthful offender dispositional 2138
sentence.2139

       (C)(1) A child for whom a serious youthful offender 2140
dispositional sentence is sought by a prosecuting attorney has the 2141
right to a grand jury determination of probable cause that the 2142
child committed the act charged and that the child is eligible by 2143
age for a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence. The 2144
grand jury may be impaneled by the court of common pleas or the 2145
juvenile court.2146

       Once a child is indicted, or charged by information or the 2147
juvenile court determines that the child is eligible for a serious 2148
youthful offender dispositional sentence, the child is entitled to 2149
an open and speedy trial by jury in juvenile court and to be 2150
provided with a transcript of the proceedings. The time within 2151
which the trial is to be held under Title XXIX of the Revised Code 2152
commences on whichever of the following dates is applicable:2153

       (a) If the child is indicted or charged by information, on 2154
the date of the filing of the indictment or information.2155

       (b) If the child is charged by an original complaint that 2156
requests a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence, on 2157
the date of the filing of the complaint.2158

       (c) If the child is not charged by an original complaint that 2159
requests a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence, on 2160
the date that the prosecuting attorney files the written notice of 2161
intent to seek a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence.2162

       (2) If the child is detained awaiting adjudication, upon 2163
indictment or being charged by information, the child has the same 2164
right to bail as an adult charged with the offense the alleged 2165
delinquent act would be if committed by an adult. Except as 2166
provided in division (D) of section 2152.14 of the Revised Code, 2167
all provisions of Title XXIX of the Revised Code and the Criminal 2168
Rules shall apply in the case and to the child. The juvenile court 2169
shall afford the child all rights afforded a person who is 2170
prosecuted for committing a crime including the right to counsel 2171
and the right to raise the issue of competency. The child may not 2172
waive the right to counsel.2173

       (D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for 2174
committing an act under circumstances that require the juvenile 2175
court to impose upon the child a serious youthful offender 2176
dispositional sentence under section 2152.11 of the Revised Code, 2177
all of the following apply:2178

       (a) The juvenile court shall impose upon the child a sentence 2179
available for the violation, as if the child were an adult, under 2180
Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code, except that the juvenile court 2181
shall not impose on the child a sentence of death or life 2182
imprisonment without parole.2183

       (b) The juvenile court also shall impose upon the child one 2184
or more traditional juvenile dispositions under sections 2152.16, 2185
2152.19, and 2152.20, and, if applicable, section 2152.17 of the 2186
Revised Code.2187

       (c) The juvenile court shall stay the adult portion of the 2188
serious youthful offender dispositional sentence pending the 2189
successful completion of the traditional juvenile dispositions 2190
imposed.2191

       (2)(a) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for 2192
committing an act under circumstances that allow, but do not 2193
require, the juvenile court to impose on the child a serious 2194
youthful offender dispositional sentence under section 2152.11 of 2195
the Revised Code, all of the following apply:2196

       (i) If the juvenile court on the record makes a finding that, 2197
given the nature and circumstances of the violation and the 2198
history of the child, the length of time, level of security, and 2199
types of programming and resources available in the juvenile 2200
system alone are not adequate to provide the juvenile court with a 2201
reasonable expectation that the purposes set forth in section 2202
2152.01 of the Revised Code will be met, the juvenile court may 2203
impose upon the child a sentence available for the violation, as 2204
if the child were an adult, under Chapter 2929. of the Revised 2205
Code, except that the juvenile court shall not impose on the child 2206
a sentence of death or life imprisonment without parole.2207

       (ii) If a sentence is imposed under division (D)(2)(a)(i) of 2208
this section, the juvenile court also shall impose upon the child 2209
one or more traditional juvenile dispositions under sections 2210
2152.16, 2152.19, and 2152.20 and, if applicable, section 2152.17 2211
of the Revised Code.2212

serious youthful offender dispositional sentence pending the 2214
successful completion of the traditional juvenile dispositions 2215
imposed.2216

       (b) If the juvenile court does not find that a sentence 2217
should be imposed under division (D)(2)(a)(i) of this section, the 2218
juvenile court may impose one or more traditional juvenile 2219
dispositions under sections 2152.16, 2152.19, 2152.20, and, if 2220
applicable, section 2152.17 of the Revised Code.2221

       (3) A child upon whom a serious youthful offender 2222
dispositional sentence is imposed under division (D)(1) or (2) of 2223
this section has a right to appeal under division (A)(1), (3), 2224
(4), or (5), or (6) of section 2953.08 of the Revised Code the 2225
adult portion of the serious youthful offender dispositional 2226
sentence when any of those divisions apply. The child may appeal 2227
the adult portion, and the court shall consider the appeal as if 2228
the adult portion were not stayed.2229

       Sec. 2152.14.  (A)(1) The director of youth services may 2230
request the prosecuting attorney of the county in which is located 2231

by an adult.2249

       (b) The person has engaged in conduct that creates a 2250
substantial risk to the safety or security of the institution, the 2251
community, or the victim.2252

       (B) If a person is at least fourteen years of age, is serving 2253
the juvenile portion of a serious youthful offender dispositional 2254
sentence imposed under section 2152.121 or 2152.13 of the Revised 2255

section or fails to act on a request made under either division by 2279
the department within a reasonable time, the department of youth 2280
services or the supervising probation department may file a motion 2281
of the type described in division (A) or (B) of this section with 2282
the juvenile court to invoke the adult portion of the serious 2283
youthful offender dispositional sentence. If the prosecuting 2284

jurisdiction.2322

       (2) The court may modify the adult sentence the court invokes 2323
to consist of any lesser prison term that could be imposed for the 2324
offense and, in addition to the prison term or in lieu of the 2325
prison term if the prison term was not mandatory, any community 2326
control sanction that the offender was eligible to receive at 2327
sentencing.2328

       (F) If a juvenile court issues an order invoking the adult 2329
portion of a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence 2330
under division (E) of this section, the juvenile portion of the 2331
dispositional sentence shall terminate, and the department of 2332
youth services shall transfer the person to the department of 2333
rehabilitation and correction or place the person under another 2334
sanction imposed as part of the sentence. The juvenile court shall 2335
state in its order the total number of days that the person has 2336
been held in detention or in a facility operated by, or under 2337
contract with, the department of youth services under the juvenile 2338
portion of the dispositional sentence. The time the person must 2339
serve on a prison term imposed under the adult portion of the 2340
dispositional sentence shall be reduced by the total number of 2341
days specified in the order plus any additional days the person is 2342
held in a juvenile facility or in detention after the order is 2343
issued and before the person is transferred to the custody of the 2344
department of rehabilitation and correction. In no case shall the 2345
total prison term as calculated under this division exceed the 2346
maximum prison term available for an adult who is convicted of 2347
violating the same sections of the Revised Code.2348

or as a condition of a judicial release from prison shall be under 2350
the supervision of the entity that provides adult probation 2351
services in the county. Any post-release control imposed after the 2352
offender otherwise is released from prison shall be supervised by 2353
the adult parole authority.2354

for the specification for a definite period of not less than one 2377

for committing an act, other than a violation of section 2923.12 2394
of the Revised Code, that would be a felony if committed by an 2395
adult, if the court determines that the child is complicit in 2396
another person's conduct that is of such a nature that the other 2397
person would be guilty of a specification of the type set forth in 2398
section 2941.141, 2941.144, 2941.145, or 2941.146 of the Revised 2399
Code if the other person was an adult, if the other person's 2400
conduct relates to the child's underlying delinquent act, and if 2401
the child did not furnish, use, or dispose of any firearm that was 2402
involved with the underlying delinquent act or with the other 2403
person's specification-related conduct, in addition to any other 2404
disposition the court imposes for the underlying delinquent act, 2405
the court may commit the child to the department of youth services 2406
for the specification for a definite period of not more than one 2407
year, subject to division (D)(2) of this section.2408

       (2) Except as provided in division (B)(1) of this section, 2409
division (A) of this section also applies to a child who is an 2410
accomplice regarding a firearm specification of the type set forth 2411
in section 2941.1412, 2941.1414, or 2941.1415 of the Revised Code2412
to the same extent the firearm specifications would apply to an 2413
adult accomplice in a criminal proceeding.2414

       (C) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for 2415
committing an act that would be aggravated murder, murder, or a 2416
first, second, or third degree felony offense of violence if 2417
committed by an adult and if the court determines that, if the 2418
child was an adult, the child would be guilty of a specification 2419
of the type set forth in section 2941.142 of the Revised Code in 2420
relation to the act for which the child was adjudicated a 2421
delinquent child, the court shall commit the child for the 2422
specification to the legal custody of the department of youth 2423
services for institutionalization in a secure facility for a 2424
definite period of not less than one and not more than three 2425
years, subject to division (D)(2) of this section, and the court 2426
also shall commit the child to the department for the underlying 2427
delinquent act.2428

       (D)(1) If the child is adjudicated a delinquent child for 2429
committing an act that would be an offense of violence that is a 2430
felony if committed by an adult and is committed to the legal 2431
custody of the department of youth services pursuant to division 2432
(A)(1) of section 2152.16 of the Revised Code and if the court 2433
determines that the child, if the child was an adult, would be 2434
guilty of a specification of the type set forth in section 2435
2941.1411 of the Revised Code in relation to the act for which the 2436
child was adjudicated a delinquent child, the court may commit the 2437
child to the custody of the department of youth services for 2438
institutionalization in a secure facility for up to two years, 2439
subject to division (D)(2) of this section.2440

       (2) A court that imposes a period of commitment under 2441
division (A) of this section is not precluded from imposing an 2442
additional period of commitment under division (C) or (D)(1) of 2443
this section, a court that imposes a period of commitment under 2444
division (C) of this section is not precluded from imposing an 2445
additional period of commitment under division (A) or (D)(1) of 2446
this section, and a court that imposes a period of commitment 2447
under division (D)(1) of this section is not precluded from 2448
imposing an additional period of commitment under division (A) or 2449
(C) of this section.2450

       (E) The court shall not commit a child to the legal custody 2451
of the department of youth services for a specification pursuant 2452
to this section for a period that exceeds five years for any one 2453
delinquent act. Any commitment imposed pursuant to division (A), 2454
(B), (C), or (D)(1) of this section shall be in addition to, and 2455
shall be served consecutively with and prior to, a period of 2456
commitment ordered under this chapter for the underlying 2457
delinquent act, and each commitment imposed pursuant to division 2458
(A), (B), (C), or (D)(1) of this section shall be in addition to, 2459
and shall be served consecutively with, any other period of 2460
commitment imposed under those divisions. If a commitment is 2461
imposed under division (A) or (B) of this section and a commitment 2462
also is imposed under division (C) of this section, the period 2463
imposed under division (A) or (B) of this section shall be served 2464
prior to the period imposed under division (C) of this section.2465

       In each case in which a court makes a disposition under this 2466
section, the court retains control over the commitment for the 2467
entire period of the commitment.2468

       The total of all the periods of commitment imposed for any 2469
specification under this section and for the underlying offense 2470
shall not exceed the child's attainment of twenty-one years of 2471
age.2472

       (F) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for 2473
committing two or more acts that would be felonies if committed by 2474
an adult and if the court entering the delinquent child 2475
adjudication orders the commitment of the child for two or more of 2476
those acts to the legal custody of the department of youth 2477
services for institutionalization in a secure facility pursuant to 2478
section 2152.13 or 2152.16 of the Revised Code, the court may 2479
order that all of the periods of commitment imposed under those 2480
sections for those acts be served consecutively in the legal 2481
custody of the department of youth services, provided that those 2482
periods of commitment shall be in addition to and commence 2483
immediately following the expiration of a period of commitment 2484
that the court imposes pursuant to division (A), (B), (C), or 2485
(D)(1) of this section. A court shall not commit a delinquent 2486
child to the legal custody of the department of youth services 2487
under this division for a period that exceeds the child's 2488
attainment of twenty-one years of age.2489

       Sec. 2152.22.  (A) When a child is committed to the legal 2490
custody of the department of youth services under this chapter, 2491
the juvenile court relinquishes control with respect to the child 2492
so committed, except as provided in divisions (B), (C), (D), and 2493
(G)(H) of this section or in sections 2152.82 to 2152.86 of the 2494
Revised Code. Subject to divisions (B) and, (C), and (D) of this 2495
section, sections 2151.353 and 2151.412 to 2151.421 of the Revised 2496
Code, sections 2152.82 to 2152.86 of the Revised Code, and any 2497
other provision of law that specifies a different duration for a 2498
dispositional order, all other dispositional orders made by the 2499
court under this chapter shall be temporary and shall continue for 2500
a period that is designated by the court in its order, until 2501
terminated or modified by the court or until the child attains 2502
twenty-one years of age.2503

       The department shall not release the child from a department 2504
facility and as a result shall not discharge the child or order 2505
the child's release on supervised release prior to the expiration 2506
of the minimum period specified by the court in division (A)(1) of 2507
section 2152.16 of the Revised Code and any term of commitment 2508
imposed under section 2152.17 of the Revised Code or prior to the 2509
child's attainment of twenty-one years of age, except upon the 2510
order of a court pursuant to division (B) or, (C), or (D) of this 2511
section or in accordance with section 5139.54 of the Revised Code.2512

       (B)(1) The court that commits a delinquent child to the 2513
department of youth services may grant judicial release of the 2514
child to court supervision under this division during the first 2515
half of the prescribed minimum term for which the child was 2516
committed to the department or, if the child was committed to the 2517
department until the child attains twenty-one years of age, during 2518
the first half of the prescribed period of commitment that begins 2519
on the first day of commitment and ends on the child's 2520
twenty-first birthday, provided any commitment imposed under 2521
division (A), (B), (C), or (D) of section 2152.17 of the Revised 2522
Code has ended.2523

       (2) If the department of youth services desires to release a 2524
child during a period specified in division (B)(1) of this 2525
section, it shall request the court that committed the child to 2526
grant a judicial release of the child to court supervision under 2527
this division. During whichever of those periods is applicable, 2528
the child or the parents of the child also may request that court 2529
to grant a judicial release of the child to court supervision. 2530
Upon receipt of a request for a judicial release to court 2531
supervision under this division from the department, the child, or 2532
the child's parent, or upon its own motion, the court that 2533
committed the child shall do one of the following: approve the 2534
release by journal entry; schedule within thirty days after the 2535
request is received a time for a hearing on whether the child is 2536
to be released; or reject the request by journal entry without 2537
conducting a hearing.2538

       If the court rejects an initial request for a release under 2539
this division by the child or the child's parent, the child or the 2540
child's parent may make one additional request for a judicial 2541
release to court supervision within the applicable period. The 2542
additional request may be made no earlier than thirty days after 2543
the filing of the prior request for a judicial release to court 2544
supervision. Upon the filing of a second request for a judicial 2545
release to court supervision, the court shall either approve or 2546
disapprove the release by journal entry or schedule within thirty 2547
days after the request is received a time for a hearing on whether 2548
the child is to be released.2549

       (3) If a court schedules a hearing under division (B)(2) of 2550
this section, it may order the department to deliver the child to 2551
the court on the date set for the hearing and may order the 2552
department to present to the court a report on the child's 2553
progress in the institution to which the child was committed and 2554
recommendations for conditions of supervision of the child by the 2555
court after release. The court may conduct the hearing without the 2556
child being present. The court shall determine at the hearing 2557
whether the child should be granted a judicial release to court 2558
supervision.2559

       If the court approves the release under this division, it 2560
shall order its staff to prepare a written treatment and 2561
rehabilitation plan for the child that may include any conditions 2562
of the child's release that were recommended by the department and 2563
approved by the court. The committing court shall send the 2564
juvenile court of the county in which the child is placed a copy 2565
of the recommended plan. The court of the county in which the 2566
child is placed may adopt the recommended conditions set by the 2567
committing court as an order of the court and may add any 2568
additional consistent conditions it considers appropriate. If a 2569
child is granted a judicial release to court supervision, the 2570
release discharges the child from the custody of the department of 2571
youth services.2572

       (C)(1) The court that commits a delinquent child to the 2573
department of youth services may grant judicial release of the 2574
child to department of youth services supervision under this 2575
division during the second half of the prescribed minimum term for 2576
which the child was committed to the department or, if the child 2577
was committed to the department until the child attains twenty-one 2578
years of age, during the second half of the prescribed period of 2579
commitment that begins on the first day of commitment and ends on 2580
the child's twenty-first birthday, provided any commitment imposed 2581
under division (A), (B), (C), or (D) of section 2152.17 of the 2582
Revised Code has ended.2583

       (2) If the department of youth services desires to release a 2584
child during a period specified in division (C)(1) of this 2585
section, it shall request the court that committed the child to 2586
grant a judicial release to department of youth services 2587
supervision. During whichever of those periods is applicable, the 2588
child or the child's parent also may request the court that 2589
committed the child to grant a judicial release to department of 2590
youth services supervision. Upon receipt of a request for judicial 2591
release to department of youth services supervision, the child, or 2592
the child's parent, or upon its own motion at any time during that 2593
period, the court shall do one of the following: approve the 2594
release by journal entry; schedule a time within thirty days after 2595
receipt of the request for a hearing on whether the child is to be 2596
released; or reject the request by journal entry without 2597
conducting a hearing.2598

       If the court rejects an initial request for release under 2599
this division by the child or the child's parent, the child or the 2600
child's parent may make one or more subsequent requests for a 2601
release within the applicable period, but may make no more than 2602
one request during each period of ninety days that the child is in 2603
a secure department facility after the filing of a prior request 2604
for early release. Upon the filing of a request for release under 2605
this division subsequent to an initial request, the court shall 2606
either approve or disapprove the release by journal entry or 2607
schedule a time within thirty days after receipt of the request 2608
for a hearing on whether the child is to be released.2609

       (3) If a court schedules a hearing under division (C)(2) of 2610
this section, it may order the department to deliver the child to 2611
the court on the date set for the hearing and shall order the 2612
department to present to the court at that time a treatment plan 2613
for the child's post-institutional care. The court may conduct the 2614
hearing without the child being present. The court shall determine 2615
at the hearing whether the child should be granted a judicial 2616
release to department of youth services supervision.2617

       If the court approves the judicial release to department of 2618
youth services supervision, the department shall prepare a written 2619
treatment and rehabilitation plan for the child pursuant to 2620
division (E)(F) of this section that shall include the conditions 2621
of the child's release. It shall send the committing court and the 2622
juvenile court of the county in which the child is placed a copy 2623
of the plan. The court of the county in which the child is placed 2624
may adopt the conditions set by the department as an order of the 2625
court and may add any additional consistent conditions it 2626
considers appropriate, provided that the court may not add any 2627
condition that decreases the level or degree of supervision 2628
specified by the department in its plan, that substantially 2629
increases the financial burden of supervision that will be 2630
experienced by the department, or that alters the placement 2631
specified by the department in its plan. If the court of the 2632
county in which the child is placed adds to the department's plan 2633
any additional conditions, it shall enter those additional 2634
conditions in its journal and shall send to the department a copy 2635
of the journal entry of the additional conditions.2636

       If the court approves the judicial release to department of 2637
youth services supervision, the actual date on which the 2638
department shall release the child is contingent upon the 2639
department finding a suitable placement for the child. If the 2640
child is to be returned to the child's home, the department shall 2641
return the child on the date that the court schedules for the 2642
child's release or shall bear the expense of any additional time 2643
that the child remains in a department facility. If the child is 2644
unable to return to the child's home, the department shall 2645
exercise reasonable diligence in finding a suitable placement for 2646
the child, and the child shall remain in a department facility 2647
while the department finds the suitable placement.2648

       (D)(1) Subject to division (D)(3) of this section, the court 2649
that commits a delinquent child to the department of youth 2650
services may grant judicial release of the child under this 2651
division at any time after the expiration of one of the following 2652
periods of time:2653

       (a) Except as otherwise provided in division (D)(1)(b) of 2654
this section, if the child was committed to the department for a 2655
prescribed minimum period and a maximum period not to exceed the 2656
child's attainment of twenty-one years, the court may grant 2657
judicial release of the child at any time after the expiration of 2658
the prescribed minimum term for which the child was committed to 2659
the department.2660

       (b) If the child was committed to the department for both one 2661
or more definite periods under division (A), (B), (C), or (D) of 2662
section 2152.17 of the Revised Code and a period of the type 2663
described in division (D)(1)(a) of this section, all of the 2664
prescribed minimum periods of commitment imposed under division 2665
(A), (B), (C), or (D) of section 2152.17 of the Revised Code and 2666
the prescribed period of commitment of the type described in 2667
division (D)(1)(a) of this section shall be aggregated for 2668
purposes of this division, and the court may grant judicial 2669
release of the child at any time after the expiration of one year 2670
after the child begins serving the aggregate period of commitment.2671

       (2) If a court grants a judicial release of a child under 2672
division (D)(1) of this section, the release shall be a judicial 2673
release to department of youth services supervision, if the 2674
release is granted during a period described in division (C)(1) of 2675
this section, and the second and third paragraphs of division 2676
(C)(3) of this section apply regarding the release. In all other 2677
cases, the release shall be a judicial release to court 2678
supervision, and the second paragraph of division (B)(3) of this 2679
section applies regarding the release.2680

       (3) A court at the time of making the disposition of a child 2681
shall provide notice in the order of disposition that the judge is 2682
retaining jurisdiction over the child for the purpose of a 2683
possible grant of judicial release of the child under division 2684
(D)(1) of this section. The failure of a court to provide this 2685
notice does not affect the authority of the court to grant a 2686
judicial release under that division and does not constitute 2687
grounds for setting aside the child's delinquent child 2688
adjudication or disposition or for granting any post-adjudication 2689
relief to the child.2690

       (4) The department of youth services, a child committed to 2691
the department, or the parents of the child, during a period 2692
specified in division (D)(1) of this section, may request the 2693
court that committed the child to grant a judicial release of the 2694
child under that division. Upon receipt of a request for judicial 2695
release of a child under this division from the department, the 2696
child, or the child's parent, or upon its own motion, the court 2697
that committed the child shall do one of the following:2698

       (a) Approve the request by journal entry;2699

       (b) Schedule within thirty days after the request is received 2700
a time for a hearing on whether the child is to be released;2701

       (c) Reject the request by journal entry without conducting a 2702
hearing.2703

       If the court rejects an initial request for a release under 2704
this division by the child or the child's parent, division (C)(2) 2705
of this section applies regarding the making of additional 2706
requests.2707

       If the court schedules a hearing under this division to 2708
consider the judicial release, the first paragraph of division 2709
(B)(3) of this section applies regarding the hearing.2710

       (E) If a child is released under division (B) or, (C), or (D)2711
of this section and the court of the county in which the child is 2712
placed has reason to believe that the child's deportment is not in 2713
accordance with the conditions of the child's judicial release, 2714
the court of the county in which the child is placed shall 2715
schedule a time for a hearing to determine whether the child 2716
violated any of the post-release conditions, and, if the child was 2717
released under division (C) of this section or under division (D) 2718
of this section under department supervision, divisions (A) to (E) 2719
of section 5139.52 of the Revised Code apply regarding the child.2720

       If that court determines at the hearing that the child 2721
violated any of the post-release conditions, the court, if it 2722
determines that the violation was a serious violation, may order 2723
the child to be returned to the department for 2724
institutionalization, consistent with the original order of 2725
commitment of the child, or in any case may make any other 2726
disposition of the child authorized by law that the court 2727
considers proper. If the court of the county in which the child is 2728
placed orders the child to be returned to a department of youth 2729
services institution, the time during which the child was held in 2730
a secure department facility prior to the child's judicial release 2731
shall be considered as time served in fulfilling the prescribed 2732
period of institutionalization that is applicable to the child 2733
under the child's original order of commitment. If the court 2734
orders the child returned to a department institution, the child 2735
shall remain in institutional care for a minimum of three months 2736
or until the child successfully completes a revocation program of 2737
a duration of not less than thirty days operated either by the 2738
department or by an entity with which the department has 2739
contracted to provide a revocation program.2740

       (E)(F) The department of youth services, prior to the release 2741
of a child pursuant to division (C) of this section or pursuant to 2742
division (D) of this section on department supervision, shall do 2743
all of the following:2744

       (1) After reviewing the child's rehabilitative progress 2745
history and medical and educational records, prepare a written 2746
treatment and rehabilitation plan for the child that includes 2747
conditions of the release;2748

       (2) Completely discuss the conditions of the plan prepared 2749
pursuant to division (E)(F)(1) of this section and the possible 2750
penalties for violation of the plan with the child and the child's 2751
parents, guardian, or legal custodian;2752

       (3) Have the plan prepared pursuant to division (E)(F)(1) of 2753
this section signed by the child, the child's parents, legal 2754
guardian, or custodian, and any authority or person that is to 2755
supervise, control, and provide supportive assistance to the child 2756
at the time of the child's release pursuant to division (C) or (D)2757
of this section;2758

       (4) Prior to the child's release, file a copy of the 2759
treatment plan prepared pursuant to division (E)(F)(1) of this 2760
section with the committing court and the juvenile court of the 2761
county in which the child is to be placed.2762

       (F)(G) The department of youth services shall file a written 2763
progress report with the committing court regarding each child 2764
released pursuant to division (C) of this section or released 2765
pursuant to division (D) of this section on judicial release to 2766
department supervision at least once every thirty days unless 2767
specifically directed otherwise by the court. The report shall 2768
indicate the treatment and rehabilitative progress of the child 2769
and the child's family, if applicable, and shall include any 2770
suggestions for altering the program, custody, living 2771
arrangements, or treatment. The department shall retain legal 2772
custody of a child so released until it discharges the child or 2773
until the custody is terminated as otherwise provided by law.2774

       (G)(H) When a child is committed to the legal custody of the 2775
department of youth services, the court retains jurisdiction to 2776
perform the functions specified in section 5139.51 of the Revised 2777
Code with respect to the granting of supervised release by the 2778
release authority and to perform the functions specified in 2779
section 5139.52 of the Revised Code with respect to violations of 2780
the conditions of supervised release granted by the release 2781
authority and to the revocation of supervised release granted by 2782
the release authority.2783

       Sec. 2152.51.  (A) As used in sections 2152.51 to 2152.59 of 2784
the Revised Code:2785

       (1) "Competent" and "competency" refer to a child's ability 2786
to understand the nature and objectives of a proceeding against 2787
the child and to assist in the child's defense. A child is 2788
incompetent if, due to mental illness, intellectual disability, or 2789
developmental disability, or otherwise due to a lack of mental 2790
capacity, the child is presently incapable of understanding the 2791
nature and objective of proceedings against the child or of 2792
assisting in the child's defense.2793

       (2) "Delinquent child proceeding" means any proceeding under 2794
this chapter.2795

       (3) "A person who is at least moderately intellectually 2796
disabled" means "a person who is at least moderately mentally 2797
retarded," as defined in section 5123.01 of the Revised Code.2798

       (4) "Person with intellectual disability" has the same 2799
meaning as in section 2951.041 of the Revised Code.2800

       (B) Each juvenile court shall adopt rules to expedite 2801

the proceeding.2816

reasonable basis to conduct a competency evaluation;2843

       (3) Hold a hearing to determine whether there is a reasonable 2844

       (B) If the court holds a hearing, it shall make its 2846
determination within ten business days after the conclusion of the 2847
hearing. If the court determines that there is a reasonable basis 2848
for a competency evaluation or if the prosecuting attorney and the 2849
child's attorney agree to an evaluation, the court shall order a 2850
competency evaluation and appoint an evaluator.2851

the Revised Code and has specialized education, training, or 2868
experience in forensic evaluations of children or adolescents who 2869
have intellectual disability.2870

       (C) If an evaluation is conducted by an evaluator of the type 2871

evaluator concludes that the child is a person who is at least 2873
moderately intellectually disabled, the evaluator shall 2874
discontinue the evaluation and notify the court within one 2875
business day after reaching the conclusion. Within two business 2876
days after receiving notification, the court shall order the child 2877
to undergo an evaluation by an evaluator of the type described in 2878

evaluation under section 2152.53 of the Revised Code, the child 2884
and the child's parents, guardians, or custodians shall be 2885
available at the times and places established by the evaluator who 2886
conducts the evaluation. The evaluation shall be performed in the 2887
least restrictive setting available that will both facilitate an 2888
evaluation and maintain the safety of the child and community. If 2889
the child has been released on temporary or interim orders and 2890
refuses or fails to submit to the evaluation, the court may amend 2891
the conditions of the orders in whatever manner necessary to 2892
facilitate an evaluation. 2893

       (B) The court shall provide in its evaluation order that the 2894
evaluator shall have access to all relevant private and public 2895
records related to the child, including competency evaluations and 2896

risk of harm to any person.2907

       (D) Within ten business days after the court appoints an 2908

pursuant to section 2152.53 of the Revised Code, an evaluator 2914
shall submit to the court a written competency assessment report. 2915
The report shall include the evaluator's opinion as to whether the 2916
child, due to mental illness, intellectual disability, or 2917
developmental disability, or otherwise due to a lack of mental 2918
capacity, is presently incapable of understanding the nature and 2919
objective of the proceedings against the child or of assisting in 2920
the child's defense. The report shall not include any opinion as 2921
to the child's sanity at the time of the alleged offense, details 2922
of the alleged offense as reported by the child, or an opinion as 2923
to whether the child actually committed the offense or could have 2924
been culpable for committing the offense.2925

       (B) A competency assessment report shall address the child's 2926
capacity to do all of the following: 2927

       (1) Comprehend and appreciate the charges or allegations 2928
against the child; 2929

evaluator's opinion regarding the extent to which the child's 2939
competency may be impaired by the child's failure to meet one or 2940
more of the criteria listed in division (B) of this section. If 2941
the evaluator concludes that the child's competency is impaired 2942
but that the child may be enabled to understand the nature and 2943
objectives of the proceeding against the child and to assist in 2944
the child's defense with reasonable accommodations, the report 2945
shall include recommendations for those reasonable accommodations 2946
that the court might make. If the evaluator concludes that the 2947
child's competency is so impaired that the child would not be able 2948
to understand the nature and objectives of the proceeding against 2949
the child and to assist in the child's defense, the report shall 2950
include an opinion as to the likelihood that the child could 2951
attain competency within the periods set forth in division (D)(2) 2952
of section 2152.59 of the Revised Code.2953

time for submission of a competency assessment report under 2966
division (A) of section 2152.57 of the Revised Code, to form an 2967
opinion regarding the extent to which the child's competency may 2968
be impaired by the child's failure to meet one or more of the 2969
criteria listed in division (B) of this section, the evaluator 2970
shall so state in the report. The evaluator shall also include 2971
recommendations for services to support the safety of the child or 2972
the community. 2973

       Sec. 2152.57.  (A) An evaluator appointed by the court under 2974

evaluator is issued. The court may grant one extension for a 2978
reasonable length of time if doing so would aid the evaluator in 2979
completing the evaluation.2980

       (B) No competency assessment report obtained independently by 2981
the child may be admitted into evidence unless it is submitted to 2982
the court within the time allowed for submission of a report by a 2983
court-appointed evaluator under division (A) of this section and 2984
meets all the criteria that apply to a court-ordered report.2985

       (C) The court shall provide a copy of each competency 2986
assessment report it receives to the prosecuting attorney, the 2987
child's attorney, and the child's parents, guardian, or custodian. 2988
Counsel shall not disseminate the report except as necessary to 2989
receive clarification of the contents of the report. 2990

court may not be recovered from the child or the child's parents 2992
or guardians. However, expenses associated with missed 2993
appointments may be assessed to the child's parents or guardians.2994

       (E)(1) Before a hearing is held under section 2152.58 of the 2995
Revised Code, any party may object to the contents of a competency 2996
assessment report and by motion request an additional evaluation. 2997
If the court determines that an additional evaluation is 2998
appropriate and grants the motion, the evaluator shall complete an 2999
additional evaluation as soon as possible but not more than 3000
forty-five calendar days after the order allowing the additional 3001
evaluation is issued. An additional evaluation shall meet all the 3002
criteria that apply to a court-ordered evaluation.3003

this section shall be made at the moving party's expense unless 3005
the child is indigent. If the child is indigent, the county shall 3006
pay the costs of the additional evaluation. However, the county 3007

allow each party to participate in each contact.3023

       (C) In determining the competency of the child to participate 3024
in the proceeding, the court shall consider the content of all 3025

hearing. The court, by journal entry, may extend the period for 3033
making the determination for not more than fifteen additional 3034
days. If the court extends the period for making the 3035
determination, it shall make the written determination within the 3036
period as extended.3037

       (2) The court shall not find a child incompetent to proceed 3038
solely because the child is receiving or has received treatment as 3039
a voluntary or involuntary mentally ill patient under Chapter 3040
5122. of the Revised Code, is or has been institutionalized under 3041
Chapter 5123. of the Revised Code, or is receiving or has received 3042
psychotropic or other medication, even if the child might become 3043
incompetent to proceed without that medication.3044

       Sec. 2152.59.  (A) If after a hearing held pursuant to 3045
section 2152.58 of the Revised Code the court determines that a 3046
child is competent, the court shall proceed with the delinquent 3047
child's proceeding as provided by law. No statement that a child 3048
makes during an evaluation or hearing conducted under sections 3049
2152.51 through 2152.59 of the Revised Code shall be used against 3050
the child on the issue of responsibility or guilt in any child or 3051
adult proceeding. 3052

       (B) If after a hearing held pursuant to section 2152.58 of 3053

       (C) If after a hearing held pursuant to section 2152.58 of 3070
the Revised Code the court determines that a child is not 3071
competent but could likely attain competency by participating in 3072

services specifically designed to help the child develop 3075
competency at county expense. The court shall name a reliable 3076

division (A) of this section is the aggregate value of all 6912
property and services involved in all offenses in the series. 6913

       (2) If an offender commits a series of offenses under section 6914
2913.02 of the Revised Code that involves a common course of 6915
conduct to defraud multiple victims, all of the offenses may be 6916
tried as a single offense. If an offender is being tried for the 6917
commission of a series of violations of, attempts to commit a 6918
violation of, conspiracies to violate, or complicity in violations 6919
of division (A)(1) of section 1716.14, section 2913.02, 2913.03, 6920
or 2913.04, division (B)(1) or (2) of section 2913.21, or section 6921
2913.31 or 2913.43 of the Revised Code, whether committed against 6922
one victim or more than one victim, involving a victim who is an 6923
elderly person or disabled adult, pursuant to a scheme or course 6924
of conduct, all of those offenses may be tried as a single 6925
offense. If the offenses are tried as a single offense, the value 6926
of the property or services involved for the purpose of 6927
determining the value as required by division (A) of this section 6928
is the aggregate value of all property and services involved in 6929
all of the offenses in the course of conduct. 6930

       (3) When a series of two or more offenses under section 6931
2913.40, 2913.48, or 2921.41 of the Revised Code is committed by 6932
the offender in the offender's same employment, capacity, or 6933
relationship to another, all of those offenses may be tried as a 6934
single offense. If the offenses are tried as a single offense, the 6935
value of the property or services involved for the purpose of 6936
determining the value as required by division (A) of this section 6937
is the aggregate value of all property and services involved in 6938
all of the offenses in the series of two or more offenses. 6939

       (4) In prosecuting a single offense under division (C)(1), 6940
(2), or (3) of this section, it is not necessary to separately 6941
allege and prove each offense in the series. Rather, it is 6942
sufficient to allege and prove that the offender, within a given 6943
span of time, committed one or more theft offenses or violations 6944
of section 2913.40, 2913.48, or 2921.41 of the Revised Code in the 6945
offender's same employment, capacity, or relationship to another 6946
as described in division (C)(1) or (3) of this section, or 6947
committed one or more theft offenses that involve a common course 6948
of conduct to defraud multiple victims or a scheme or course of 6949
conduct as described in division (C)(2) of this section. While it 6950
is not necessary to separately allege and prove each offense in 6951
the series in order to prosecute a single offense under division 6952
(C)(1), (2), or (3) of this section, it remains necessary in 6953
prosecuting them as a single offense to prove the aggregate value 6954
of the property or services in order to meet the requisite 6955
statutory offense level sought by the prosecution.6956

       (D) The following criteria shall be used in determining the 6957
value of property or services involved in a theft offense: 6958

       (1) The value of an heirloom, memento, collector's item, 6959
antique, museum piece, manuscript, document, record, or other 6960
thing that has intrinsic worth to its owner and that either is 6961
irreplaceable or is replaceable only on the expenditure of 6962
substantial time, effort, or money, is the amount that would 6963
compensate the owner for its loss. 6964

       (2) The value of personal effects and household goods, and of 6965
materials, supplies, equipment, and fixtures used in the 6966
profession, business, trade, occupation, or avocation of its 6967
owner, which property is not covered under division (D)(1) of this 6968
section and which retains substantial utility for its purpose 6969
regardless of its age or condition, is the cost of replacing the 6970
property with new property of like kind and quality. 6971

       (3) The value of any real or personal property that is not 6972
covered under division (D)(1) or (2) of this section, and the 6973
value of services, is the fair market value of the property or 6974
services. As used in this section, "fair market value" is the 6975
money consideration that a buyer would give and a seller would 6976
accept for property or services, assuming that the buyer is 6977
willing to buy and the seller is willing to sell, that both are 6978
fully informed as to all facts material to the transaction, and 6979
that neither is under any compulsion to act. 6980

establish the value of property or services involved in a theft 6982
offense: 6983

       (1) When the property involved is personal property held for 6984
sale at wholesale or retail, the price at which the property was 6985
held for sale is prima-facie evidence of its value. 6986

traded on an exchange, the closing price or, if there is no 6988
closing price, the asked price, given in the latest market 6989
quotation prior to the offense is prima-facie evidence of the 6990
value of the security or commodity. 6991

       (3) When the property involved is livestock, poultry, or raw 6992
agricultural products for which a local market price is available, 6993
the latest local market price prior to the offense is prima-facie 6994
evidence of the value of the livestock, poultry, or products. 6995

       (4) When the property involved is a negotiable instrument, 6996
the face value is prima-facie evidence of the value of the 6997
instrument. 6998

       (5) When the property involved is a warehouse receipt, bill 6999
of lading, pawn ticket, claim check, or other instrument entitling 7000
the holder or bearer to receive property, the face value or, if 7001
there is no face value, the value of the property covered by the 7002
instrument less any payment necessary to receive the property is 7003
prima-facie evidence of the value of the instrument. 7004

       (6) When the property involved is a ticket of admission, 7005
ticket for transportation, coupon, token, or other instrument 7006
entitling the holder or bearer to receive property or services, 7007
the face value or, if there is no face value, the value of the 7008
property or services that may be received by the instrument is 7009
prima-facie evidence of the value of the instrument. 7010

       (7) When the services involved are gas, electricity, water, 7011
telephone, transportation, shipping, or other services for which 7012
the rate is established by law, the duly established rate is 7013
prima-facie evidence of the value of the services. 7014

       (8) When the services involved are services for which the 7015
rate is not established by law, and the offender has been notified 7016
prior to the offense of the rate for the services, either in 7017
writing, orally, or by posting in a manner reasonably calculated 7018
to come to the attention of potential offenders, the rate 7019
contained in the notice is prima-facie evidence of the value of 7020
the services. 7021

       Sec. 2915.05.  (A) No person, with purpose to defraud or 7022
knowing that the person is facilitating a fraud, shall engage in 7023

alternative retirement plan, and any specified deferred 8104
compensation program of the date, time, and place of the hearing; 8105
that, if a hearing is conducted, it will be limited only to a 8106
consideration of whether the offender can show good cause why the 8107
requested order should not be issued; that, if a hearing is 8108
conducted, the court will not issue the requested order if the 8109
court determines, based on evidence presented at the hearing by 8110
the offender, that there is good cause for the requested order not 8111
to be issued; that the court will issue the requested order if a 8112
hearing is not requested or if a hearing is conducted but the 8113
court does not determine, based on evidence presented at the 8114

A hearing scheduled under this division shall be limited to a 8136
consideration of whether there is good cause, based on evidence 8137
presented by the offender, for the requested order not to be 8138
issued. If the court determines, based on evidence presented by 8139
the offender, that there is good cause for the order not to be 8140
issued, the court shall deny the motion and shall not issue the 8141
requested order. If the offender does not request a hearing within 8142
the prescribed time or if the court conducts a hearing but does 8143

future granted to the offender, from any payment of accumulated 8156
employee contributions standing to the offender's credit with that 8157
retirement system, that provider under the alternative retirement 8158
plan, or that deferred compensation program, or, if more than one 8159
is specified in the motion, the applicable combination of these, 8160
and from any payment of any other amounts to be paid to the 8161
offender upon the offender's withdrawal of the offender's 8162

them will engage in conduct that facilitates the commission of any 8218
of the specified offenses.8219

       (B) No person shall be convicted of conspiracy unless a 8220
substantial overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy is alleged 8221
and proved to have been done by the accused or a person with whom 8222
the accused conspired, subsequent to the accused's entrance into 8223
the conspiracy. For purposes of this section, an overt act is 8224
substantial when it is of a character that manifests a purpose on 8225
the part of the actor that the object of the conspiracy should be 8226
completed.8227

       (C) When the offender knows or has reasonable cause to 8228
believe that a person with whom the offender conspires also has 8229
conspired or is conspiring with another to commit the same 8230
offense, the offender is guilty of conspiring with that other 8231
person, even though the other person's identity may be unknown to 8232
the offender.8233

       (D) It is no defense to a charge under this section that, in 8234
retrospect, commission of the offense that was the object of the 8235
conspiracy was impossible under the circumstances.8236

       (E) A conspiracy terminates when the offense or offenses that 8237
are its objects are committed or when it is abandoned by all 8238
conspirators. In the absence of abandonment, it is no defense to a 8239
charge under this section that no offense that was the object of 8240
the conspiracy was committed.8241

       (F) A person who conspires to commit more than one offense is 8242
guilty of only one conspiracy, when the offenses are the object of 8243
the same agreement or continuous conspiratorial relationship.8244

       (G) When a person is convicted of committing or attempting to 8245
commit a specific offense or of complicity in the commission of or 8246
attempt to commit the specific offense, the person shall not be 8247
convicted of conspiracy involving the same offense.8248

testimony of a person with whom the defendant conspired, 8250
unsupported by other evidence.8251

       (2) If a person with whom the defendant allegedly has 8252
conspired testifies against the defendant in a case in which the 8253
defendant is charged with conspiracy and if the testimony is 8254
supported by other evidence, the court, when it charges the jury, 8255
shall state substantially the following:8256

       "The testimony of an accomplice that is supported by other 8257
evidence does not become inadmissible because of the accomplice's 8258
complicity, moral turpitude, or self-interest, but the admitted or 8259
claimed complicity of a witness may affect the witness' 8260
credibility and make the witness' testimony subject to grave 8261
suspicion, and require that it be weighed with great caution.8262

       It is for you, as jurors, in the light of all the facts 8263
presented to you from the witness stand, to evaluate such 8264
testimony and to determine its quality and worth or its lack of 8265
quality and worth."8266

       (3) "Conspiracy," as used in division (H)(1) of this section, 8267
does not include any conspiracy that results in an attempt to 8268
commit an offense or in the commission of an offense.8269

       (I) The following are affirmative defenses to a charge of 8270
conspiracy:8271

       (1) After conspiring to commit an offense, the actor thwarted 8272
the success of the conspiracy under circumstances manifesting a 8273
complete and voluntary renunciation of the actor's criminal 8274
purpose.8275

       (2) After conspiring to commit an offense, the actor 8276
abandoned the conspiracy prior to the commission of or attempt to 8277
commit any offense that was the object of the conspiracy, either 8278
by advising all other conspirators of the actor's abandonment, or 8279
by informing any law enforcement authority of the existence of the 8280
conspiracy and of the actor's participation in the conspiracy.8281

       (J) Whoever violates this section is guilty of conspiracy, 8282
which is one of the following:8283

       (1) A felony of the first degree, when one of the objects of 8284
the conspiracy is aggravated murder, murder, or an offense for 8285
which the maximum penalty is imprisonment for life;8286

       (2) A felony of the next lesser degree than the most serious 8287
offense that is the object of the conspiracy, when the most 8288
serious offense that is the object of the conspiracy is a felony 8289
of the first, second, third, or fourth degree;8290

       (3) A felony punishable by a fine of not more than 8291
twenty-five thousand dollars or imprisonment for not more than 8292

one or more sections of the Revised Code, other than this section. 8302
In such a case, however:8303

       (1) With respect to the offense specified as the object of 8304
the conspiracy in the other section or sections, division (A) of 8305
this section defines the voluntary act or acts and culpable mental 8306

       (2) Divisions (B) to (I) of this section are incorporated by 8308
reference in the conspiracy offense defined by the other section 8309
or sections of the Revised Code.8310

       (L)(1) In addition to the penalties that otherwise are 8311
imposed for conspiracy, a person who is found guilty of conspiracy 8312

section 2925.11 of the Revised Code that pertain to mandatory and 8326
additional fines, driver's or commercial driver's license or 8327
permit suspensions, and professionally licensed persons and that 8328
would apply under the appropriate provisions of those divisions to 8329
a person who is convicted of or pleads guilty to the felony drug 8330
trafficking, manufacturing, processing, or possession offense that 8331
is the most serious offense that is the basis of the conspiracy 8332
shall apply to the person who is convicted of or pleads guilty to 8333
the conspiracy as if the person had been convicted of or pleaded 8334
guilty to the felony drug trafficking, manufacturing, processing, 8335

basis of the conspiracy.8337

       (b) The court that imposes sentence upon the person who is 8338
convicted of or pleads guilty to the conspiracy shall comply with 8339

(4), or (5) of section 2919.22 of the Revised Code or is a 11201
violation of a law of any state other than this state that is 11202
substantially similar to any of the sections or divisions of the 11203
Revised Code identified in this division.11204

       (b) At least one of the felony offenses was committed in this 11205
state.11206

       (c) The felony offenses are related to the same scheme or 11207
plan and are not isolated instances.11208

       (BBB) "Material," "nudity," "obscene," "performance," and 11209
"sexual activity" have the same meanings as in section 2907.01 of 11210
the Revised Code.11211

       (CCC) "Material that is obscene, sexually oriented, or nudity 11212

       Sec. 2929.11.  (A) A court that sentences an offender for a 11221
felony shall be guided by the overriding purposes of felony 11222
sentencing. The overriding purposes of felony sentencing are to 11223
protect the public from future crime by the offender and others 11224
and to punish the offender using the minimum sanctions that the 11225
court determines accomplish those purposes without imposing an 11226
unnecessary burden on state or local government resources. To 11227
achieve those purposes, the sentencing court shall consider the 11228
need for incapacitating the offender, deterring the offender and 11229
others from future crime, rehabilitating the offender, and making 11230
restitution to the victim of the offense, the public, or both.11231

       (B) A sentence imposed for a felony shall be reasonably 11232
calculated to achieve the two overriding purposes of felony 11233
sentencing set forth in division (A) of this section, commensurate 11234
with and not demeaning to the seriousness of the offender's 11235
conduct and its impact upon the victim, and consistent with 11236
sentences imposed for similar crimes committed by similar 11237
offenders. 11238

       (C) A court that imposes a sentence upon an offender for a 11239
felony shall not base the sentence upon the race, ethnic 11240
background, gender, or religion of the offender.11241

       Sec. 2929.13.  (A) Except as provided in division (E), (F), 11242
or (G) of this section and unless a specific sanction is required 11243
to be imposed or is precluded from being imposed pursuant to law, 11244
a court that imposes a sentence upon an offender for a felony may 11245
impose any sanction or combination of sanctions on the offender 11246
that are provided in sections 2929.14 to 2929.18 of the Revised 11247
Code. The sentence shall not impose an unnecessary burden on state 11248
or local government resources.11249

       If the offender is eligible to be sentenced to community 11250
control sanctions, the court shall consider the appropriateness of 11251
imposing a financial sanction pursuant to section 2929.18 of the 11252
Revised Code or a sanction of community service pursuant to 11253
section 2929.17 of the Revised Code as the sole sanction for the 11254
offense. Except as otherwise provided in this division, if the 11255
court is required to impose a mandatory prison term for the 11256
offense for which sentence is being imposed, the court also shall 11257
impose any financial sanction pursuant to section 2929.18 of the 11258
Revised Code that is required for the offense and may impose any 11259
other financial sanction pursuant to that section but may not 11260
impose any additional sanction or combination of sanctions under 11261
section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised Code.11262

       If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony 11263
OVI offense or for a third degree felony OVI offense, in addition 11264
to the mandatory term of local incarceration or the mandatory 11265
prison term required for the offense by division (G)(1) or (2) of 11266
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory 11267
fine in accordance with division (B)(3) of section 2929.18 of the 11268
Revised Code and may impose whichever of the following is 11269
applicable:11270

       (1) For a fourth degree felony OVI offense for which sentence 11271
is imposed under division (G)(1) of this section, an additional 11272
community control sanction or combination of community control 11273
sanctions under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised Code. If 11274
the court imposes upon the offender a community control sanction 11275
and the offender violates any condition of the community control 11276
sanction, the court may take any action prescribed in division (B) 11277
of section 2929.15 of the Revised Code relative to the offender, 11278
including imposing a prison term on the offender pursuant to that 11279
division.11280

       (2) For a third or fourth degree felony OVI offense for which 11281
sentence is imposed under division (G)(2) of this section, an 11282
additional prison term as described in division (D)(B)(4) of 11283
section 2929.14 of the Revised Code or a community control 11284
sanction as described in division (G)(2) of this section.11285

       (B)(1) Except(a) Except as provided in division (B)(1)(b) of 11286
this section, if an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a 11287
felony of the fourth or fifth degree that is not an offense of 11288
violence, the court shall sentence the offender to a community 11289
control sanction of at least one year's duration if all of the 11290
following apply: 11291

       (i) The offender previously has not been convicted of or 11292
pleaded guilty to a felony offense or to an offense of violence 11293
that is a misdemeanor and that the offender committed within two 11294
years prior to the offense for which sentence is being imposed. 11295

       (ii) The most serious charge against the offender at the time 11296
of sentencing is a felony of the fourth or fifth degree.11297

       (iii) If the court made a request of the department of 11298
rehabilitation and correction pursuant to division (B)(1)(c) of 11299
this section, the department, within the forty-five-day period 11300
specified in that division, provided the court with the names of, 11301
contact information for, and program details of one or more 11302
community control sanctions of at least one year's duration that 11303
are available for persons sentenced by the court.11304

       (b) The court has discretion to impose a prison term upon an 11305
offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony of the 11306
fourth or fifth degree that is not an offense of violence if any 11307
of the following apply: 11308

       (i) The offender committed the offense while having a firearm 11309
on or about the offender's person or under the offender's control. 11310

       (ii) The offender caused physical harm to another person 11311
while committing the offense. 11312

       (iii) The offender violated a term of the conditions of bond 11313
as set by the court.11314

       (iv) The court made a request of the department of 11315
rehabilitation and correction pursuant to division (B)(1)(c) of 11316
this section, and the department, within the forty-five-day period 11317
specified in that division, did not provide the court with the 11318
name of, contact information for, and program details of any 11319
community control sanction of at least one year's duration that is 11320
available for persons sentenced by the court.11321

       (c) If a court that is sentencing an offender who is 11322
convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony of the fourth or fifth 11323
degree that is not an offense of violence believes that no 11324
community control sanctions are available for its use that, if 11325
imposed on the offender, will adequately fulfill the overriding 11326
principles and purposes of sentencing, the court shall contact the 11327
department of rehabilitation and correction and ask the department 11328
to provide the court with the names of, contact information for, 11329
and program details of one or more community control sanctions of 11330
at least one year's duration that are available for persons 11331
sentenced by the court. Not later than forty-five days after 11332
receipt of a request from a court under this division, the 11333
department shall provide the court with the names of, contact 11334
information for, and program details of one or more community 11335
control sanctions of at least one year's duration that are 11336
available for persons sentenced by the court, if any. Upon making 11337
a request under this division that relates to a particular 11338
offender, a court shall defer sentencing of that offender until it 11339
receives from the department the names of, contact information 11340
for, and program details of one or more community control 11341
sanctions of at least one year's duration that are available for 11342
persons sentenced by the court or for forty-five days, whichever 11343
is the earlier.11344

       If the department provides the court with the names of, 11345
contact information for, and program details of one or more 11346
community control sanctions of at least one year's duration that 11347
are available for persons sentenced by the court within the 11348
forty-five-day period specified in this division, the court shall 11349
impose upon the offender a community control sanction under 11350
division (B)(1)(a) of this section, subject to divisions 11351
(B)(1)(b)(i) and (ii) of this section. If the department does not 11352
provide the court with the names of, contact information for, and 11353
program details of one or more community control sanctions of at 11354
least one year's duration that are available for persons sentenced 11355
by the court within the forty-five-day period specified in this 11356
division, the court may impose upon the offender a prison term 11357
under division (B)(1)(b)(iii) of this section.11358

       (d) A sentencing court may impose an additional penalty under 11359
division (B) of section 2929.15 of the Revised Code upon an 11360
offender sentenced to a community control sanction under division 11361
(B)(1)(a) of this section if the offender violates the conditions 11362
of the community control sanction, violates a law, or leaves the 11363
state without the permission of the court or the offender's 11364
probation officer.11365

       (2) If division (B)(1) of this section does not apply, except11366
as provided in division (B)(2)(3), (E), (F), or (G) of this 11367
section, in sentencing an offender for a felony of the fourth or 11368
fifth degree, the sentencing court shall determine whether any of 11369
the following apply:11370

       (a) In committing the offense, the offender caused physical 11371
harm to a person.11372

       (b) In committing the offense, the offender attempted to 11373
cause or made an actual threat of physical harm to a person with a 11374
deadly weapon.11375

       (c) In committing the offense, the offender attempted to 11376
cause or made an actual threat of physical harm to a person, and 11377
the offender previously was convicted of an offense that caused 11378
physical harm to a person.11379

       (d) The offender held a public office or position of trust 11380
and the offense related to that office or position; the offender's 11381
position obliged the offender to prevent the offense or to bring 11382
those committing it to justice; or the offender's professional 11383
reputation or position facilitated the offense or was likely to 11384
influence the future conduct of others.11385

       (e) The offender committed the offense for hire or as part of 11386
an organized criminal activity.11387

       (f) The offense is a sex offense that is a fourth or fifth 11388
degree felony violation of section 2907.03, 2907.04, 2907.05, 11389
2907.22, 2907.31, 2907.321, 2907.322, 2907.323, or 2907.34 of the 11390
Revised Code.11391

       (g) The offender at the time of the offense was serving, or 11392
the offender previously had served, a prison term.11393

       (h) The offender committed the offense while under a 11394
community control sanction, while on probation, or while released 11395
from custody on a bond or personal recognizance.11396

       (i) The offender committed the offense while in possession of 11397
a firearm.11398

       (2)(3)(a) If the court makes a finding described in division 11399
(B)(1)(2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) of this 11400
section and if the court, after considering the factors set forth 11401
in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a prison term 11402
is consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set 11403
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and finds that the 11404
offender is not amenable to an available community control 11405
sanction, the court shall impose a prison term upon the offender.11406

       (b) Except as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this 11407
section, if the court does not make a finding described in 11408
division (B)(1)(2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) 11409
of this section and if the court, after considering the factors 11410
set forth in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a 11411
community control sanction or combination of community control 11412
sanctions is consistent with the purposes and principles of 11413
sentencing set forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code, the 11414
court shall impose a community control sanction or combination of 11415
community control sanctions upon the offender.11416

       (C) Except as provided in division (D), (E), (F), or (G) of 11417
this section, in determining whether to impose a prison term as a 11418
sanction for a felony of the third degree or a felony drug offense 11419
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised 11420
Code and that is specified as being subject to this division for 11421
purposes of sentencing, the sentencing court shall comply with the 11422
purposes and principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the 11423
Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of the Revised Code.11424

       (D)(1) Except as provided in division (E) or (F) of this 11425
section, for a felony of the first or second degree, for a felony 11426
drug offense that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 11427
2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption 11428
in favor of a prison term is specified as being applicable, and 11429
for a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of section 2907.05 of 11430
the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a prison term 11431
is specified as being applicable, it is presumed that a prison 11432
term is necessary in order to comply with the purposes and 11433
principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the Revised 11434
Code. Division (D)(2) of this section does not apply to a 11435
presumption established under this division for a violation of 11436
division (A)(4) of section 2907.05 of the Revised Code.11437

       (2) Notwithstanding the presumption established under 11438
division (D)(1) of this section for the offenses listed in that 11439
division other than a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of 11440
section 2907.05 of the Revised Code, the sentencing court may 11441
impose a community control sanction or a combination of community 11442
control sanctions instead of a prison term on an offender for a 11443
felony of the first or second degree or for a felony drug offense 11444
that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 2925., 3719., or 11445
4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a 11446
prison term is specified as being applicable if it makes both of 11447
the following findings:11448

       (a) A community control sanction or a combination of 11449
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender 11450
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable 11451
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a 11452
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors 11453
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.11454

       (b) A community control sanction or a combination of 11455
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of 11456
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of 11457
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was 11458
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are 11459
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that 11460
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious 11461
than conduct normally constituting the offense.11462

       (E)(1) Except as provided in division (F) of this section, 11463
for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of 11464
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the 11465
third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of a presumption 11466
under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of 11467
division (B) or (C) of this section in determining whether to 11468
impose a prison term for the offense shall be determined as 11469
specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06, 11470
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 2925.37 of the 11471
Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation.11472

       (2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to 11473
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction 11474
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive 11475
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation 11476
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned 11477
unless the court determines on the record either of the following:11478

       (a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the 11479
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug 11480
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program, 11481
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable 11482
period of participation in the program.11483

       (b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is 11484
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set 11485
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code.11486

       (3) A court that sentences an offender for a drug abuse 11487
offense that is a felony of the third, fourth, or fifth degree may 11488
require that the offender be assessed by a properly credentialed 11489
professional within a specified period of time. The court shall 11490
require the professional to file a written assessment of the 11491
offender with the court. If the offender is eligible for a 11492
community control sanction and after considering the written 11493
assessment, the court may impose a community control sanction that 11494
includes treatment and recovery support services authorized by 11495
section 3793.02 of the Revised Code. If the court imposes 11496
treatment and recovery support services as a community control 11497
sanction, the court shall direct the level and type of treatment 11498
and recovery support services after considering the assessment and 11499
recommendation of treatment and recovery support services 11500
providers.11501

       (F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, the 11502
court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections 2929.02 11503
to 2929.06, section 2929.14, section 2929.142, or section 2971.03 11504
of the Revised Code and except as specifically provided in section 11505
2929.20, divisions (C) to (I) of section 2967.19, or section11506
2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is authorized for the 11507
offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised Code shall not reduce 11508
the term or terms pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.19,11509
section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. or 11510
Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code for any of the following 11511
offenses:11512

       (1) Aggravated murder when death is not imposed or murder;11513

       (2) Any rape, regardless of whether force was involved and 11514
regardless of the age of the victim, or an attempt to commit rape 11515
if, had the offender completed the rape that was attempted, the 11516
offender would have been guilty of a violation of division 11517
(A)(1)(b) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and would be 11518
sentenced under section 2971.03 of the Revised Code;11519

       (3) Gross sexual imposition or sexual battery, if the victim 11520
is less than thirteen years of age and if any of the following 11521
applies:11522

previously was convicted of or pleaded guilty to rape, the former 11524
offense of felonious sexual penetration, gross sexual imposition, 11525

than thirteen years of age;11527

       (b) Regarding gross sexual imposition, the offense was 11528
committed on or after August 3, 2006, and evidence other than the 11529
testimony of the victim was admitted in the case corroborating the 11530
violation.11531

       (c) Regarding sexual battery, either of the following 11532
applies:11533

       (i) The offense was committed prior to August 3, 2006, the 11534

section requires the imposition of a prison term;11542

       (5) A first, second, or third degree felony drug offense for 11543

substantially equivalent to one of those offenses;11554

       (7) Any offense that is a third degree felony and either is a 11555
violation of section 2903.04 of the Revised Code or an attempt to 11556

or a mandatory prison term in accordance with the following:11639

       (1) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree 11640
felony OVI offense and if the offender has not been convicted of 11641
and has not pleaded guilty to a specification of the type 11642
described in section 2941.1413 of the Revised Code, the court may 11643
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration 11644
of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in division 11645
(G)(1)(d) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. The court shall 11646
not reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.193, or any 11647

Revised Code or shall impose upon the offender a mandatory prison 11666
term of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in 11667

another mandatory term of local incarceration under that division 11681
for any violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the 11682
Revised Code. In addition to the mandatory prison term described 11683
in division (G)(2) of this section, the court may sentence the 11684
offender to a community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 11685
2929.17 of the Revised Code, but the offender shall serve the 11686
prison term prior to serving the community control sanction. The 11687
department of rehabilitation and correction may place an offender 11688
sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division in an 11689
intensive program prison established pursuant to section 5120.033 11690
of the Revised Code if the department gave the sentencing judge 11691
prior notice of its intent to place the offender in an intensive 11692
program prison established under that section and if the judge did 11693
not notify the department that the judge disapproved the 11694
placement. Upon the establishment of the initial intensive program 11695
prison pursuant to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is 11696
privately operated and managed by a contractor pursuant to a 11697
contract entered into under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both 11698

make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of 11701
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division 11702
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that 11703
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.11704

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full 11705
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 11706
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 11707
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant 11708
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 11709
operated and managed prison.11710

       (H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 11711
offense or child-victim oriented offense that is a felony 11712
committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall require the 11713
offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection procedure pursuant 11714
to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code.11715

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 11716
offense or a child-victim oriented offense committed on or after 11717
January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a summary 11718
of the offender's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 11719
2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and the duration of the 11720
duties. The judge shall inform the offender, at the time of 11721
sentencing, of those duties and of their duration. If required 11722
under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, the 11723
judge shall perform the duties specified in that section, or, if 11724
required under division (A)(6) of section 2950.03 of the Revised 11725
Code, the judge shall perform the duties specified in that 11726
division.11727

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 11728

to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 11730
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 11731
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors 11732
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section 11733
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to 11734
the felony category of the offense attempted.11735

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 11736
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 11737
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is 11738
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled 11739
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court 11740
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that 11741
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse 11742
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of 11743
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next 11744
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in 11745
the attempt.11746

       (K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the 11747
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.11748

       (L) At the time of sentencing an offender for any sexually 11749
oriented offense, if the offender is a tier III sex 11750
offender/child-victim offender relative to that offense and the 11751
offender does not serve a prison term or jail term, the court may 11752
require that the offender be monitored by means of a global 11753
positioning device. If the court requires such monitoring, the 11754
cost of monitoring shall be borne by the offender. If the offender 11755
is indigent, the cost of compliance shall be paid by the crime 11756
victims reparations fund.11757

offender and that consecutive sentences are not disproportionate 12278
to the seriousness of the offender's conduct and to the danger the 12279
offender poses to the public, and if the court also finds any of 12280
the following:12281

       (a) The offender committed one or more of the multiple 12282
offenses while the offender was awaiting trial or sentencing, was 12283
under a sanction imposed pursuant to section 2929.16, 2929.17, or 12284
2929.18 of the Revised Code, or was under post-release control for 12285
a prior offense. 12286

       (b) At least two of the multiple offenses were committed as 12287
part of one or more courses of conduct, and the harm caused by two 12288
or more of the multiple offenses so committed was so great or 12289
unusual that no single prison term for any of the offenses 12290
committed as part of any of the courses of conduct adequately 12291
reflects the seriousness of the offender's conduct. 12292

       (c) The offender's history of criminal conduct demonstrates 12293
that consecutive sentences are necessary to protect the public 12294
from future crime by the offender. 12295

       (5) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender 12296
pursuant to division (D)(B)(5) or (6) of this section, the 12297
offender shall serve the mandatory prison term consecutively to 12298
and prior to any prison term imposed for the underlying violation 12299
of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code 12300
pursuant to division (A) of this section or section 2929.142 of 12301
the Revised Code. If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an 12302
offender pursuant to division (D)(B)(5) of this section, and if a 12303
mandatory prison term also is imposed upon the offender pursuant 12304
to division (D)(B)(6) of this section in relation to the same 12305
violation, the offender shall serve the mandatory prison term 12306
imposed pursuant to division (D)(B)(5) of this section 12307
consecutively to and prior to the mandatory prison term imposed 12308
pursuant to division (D)(B)(6) of this section and consecutively 12309
to and prior to any prison term imposed for the underlying 12310
violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the 12311
Revised Code pursuant to division (A) of this section or section 12312
2929.142 of the Revised Code.12313

       (6) When consecutive prison terms are imposed pursuant to 12314
division (E)(C)(1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) or division (J)(H)(1) or 12315
(2) of this section, the term to be served is the aggregate of all 12316
of the terms so imposed.12317

       (F)(D)(1) If a court imposes a prison term for a felony of 12318
the first degree, for a felony of the second degree, for a felony 12319
sex offense, or for a felony of the third degree that is not a 12320
felony sex offense and in the commission of which the offender 12321
caused or threatened to cause physical harm to a person, it shall 12322
include in the sentence a requirement that the offender be subject 12323
to a period of post-release control after the offender's release 12324
from imprisonment, in accordance with that division. If a court 12325
imposes a sentence including a prison term of a type described in 12326
this division on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a court to 12327
include a post-release control requirement in the sentence 12328
pursuant to this division does not negate, limit, or otherwise 12329
affect the mandatory period of post-release control that is 12330
required for the offender under division (B) of section 2967.28 of 12331
the Revised Code. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, 12332
prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a 12333
prison term of a type described in this division and failed to 12334
include in the sentence pursuant to this division a statement 12335
regarding post-release control.12336

       (2) If a court imposes a prison term for a felony of the 12337
third, fourth, or fifth degree that is not subject to division 12338
(F)(D)(1) of this section, it shall include in the sentence a 12339
requirement that the offender be subject to a period of 12340
post-release control after the offender's release from 12341
imprisonment, in accordance with that division, if the parole 12342
board determines that a period of post-release control is 12343
necessary. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, prior 12344
to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a prison 12345
term of a type described in this division and failed to include in 12346
the sentence pursuant to this division a statement regarding 12347
post-release control.12348

       (3) If a court imposes a prison term on or after the 12349
effective date of this amendment for a felony, it shall include in 12350
the sentence a statement notifying the offender that the offender 12351
may be eligible to earn days of credit under the circumstances 12352
specified in section 2967.193 of the Revised Code. The statement 12353
also shall notify the offender that days of credit are not 12354
automatically awarded under that section, but that they must be 12355
earned in the manner specified in that section. If a court fails 12356
to include the statement in the sentence, the failure does not 12357
affect the eligibility of the offender under section 2967.193 of 12358
the Revised Code to earn any days of credit as a deduction from 12359
the offender's stated prison term or otherwise render any part of 12360
that section or any action taken under that section void or 12361
voidable. The failure of a court to include in a sentence the 12362
statement described in this division does not constitute grounds 12363
for setting aside the offender's conviction or sentence or for 12364
granting postconviction relief to the offender.12365

       (G)(E) The court shall impose sentence upon the offender in 12366
accordance with section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, and Chapter 12367
2971. of the Revised Code applies regarding the prison term or 12368
term of life imprisonment without parole imposed upon the offender 12369
and the service of that term of imprisonment if any of the 12370
following apply:12371

       (1) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violent 12372
sex offense or a designated homicide, assault, or kidnapping 12373
offense, and, in relation to that offense, the offender is 12374
adjudicated a sexually violent predator.12375

       (2) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation 12376
of division (A)(1)(b) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code 12377
committed on or after January 2, 2007, and either the court does 12378
not impose a sentence of life without parole when authorized 12379
pursuant to division (B) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code, 12380
or division (B) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code provides 12381
that the court shall not sentence the offender pursuant to section 12382
2971.03 of the Revised Code.12383

       (3) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to attempted 12384
rape committed on or after January 2, 2007, and a specification of 12385
the type described in section 2941.1418, 2941.1419, or 2941.1420 12386
of the Revised Code.12387

       (4) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation 12388
of section 2905.01 of the Revised Code committed on or after 12389
January 1, 2008, and that section requires the court to sentence 12390
the offender pursuant to section 2971.03 of the Revised Code.12391

        (5) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to aggravated 12392
murder committed on or after January 1, 2008, and division 12393
(A)(2)(b)(ii) of section 2929.022, division (A)(1)(e), 12394
(C)(1)(a)(v), (C)(2)(a)(ii), (D)(2)(b), (D)(3)(a)(iv), or 12395
(E)(1)(d) of section 2929.03, or division (A) or (B) of section 12396
2929.06 of the Revised Code requires the court to sentence the 12397
offender pursuant to division (B)(3) of section 2971.03 of the 12398
Revised Code.12399

        (6) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to murder 12400
committed on or after January 1, 2008, and division (B)(2) of 12401
section 2929.02 of the Revised Code requires the court to sentence 12402
the offender pursuant to section 2971.03 of the Revised Code.12403

       (H)(F) If a person who has been convicted of or pleaded 12404
guilty to a felony is sentenced to a prison term or term of 12405
imprisonment under this section, sections 2929.02 to 2929.06 of 12406
the Revised Code, section 2929.142 of the Revised Code, section 12407
2971.03 of the Revised Code, or any other provision of law, 12408
section 5120.163 of the Revised Code applies regarding the person 12409
while the person is confined in a state correctional institution.12410

       (I)(G) If an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to 12411
a felony that is an offense of violence also is convicted of or 12412
pleads guilty to a specification of the type described in section 12413
2941.142 of the Revised Code that charges the offender with having 12414
committed the felony while participating in a criminal gang, the 12415
court shall impose upon the offender an additional prison term of 12416
one, two, or three years.12417

       (J)(H)(1) If an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty 12418
to aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the first, second, or 12419
third degree that is an offense of violence also is convicted of 12420
or pleads guilty to a specification of the type described in 12421
section 2941.143 of the Revised Code that charges the offender 12422
with having committed the offense in a school safety zone or 12423
towards a person in a school safety zone, the court shall impose 12424
upon the offender an additional prison term of two years. The 12425
offender shall serve the additional two years consecutively to and 12426
prior to the prison term imposed for the underlying offense.12427

       (2)(a) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a 12428
felony violation of section 2907.22, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25 12429
of the Revised Code and to a specification of the type described 12430
in section 2941.1421 of the Revised Code and if the court imposes 12431
a prison term on the offender for the felony violation, the court 12432
may impose upon the offender an additional prison term as follows:12433

       (i) Subject to division (J)(H)(2)(a)(ii) of this section, an 12434
additional prison term of one, two, three, four, five, or six 12435
months;12436

       (ii) If the offender previously has been convicted of or 12437
pleaded guilty to one or more felony or misdemeanor violations of 12438
section 2907.22, 2907.23, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25 of the 12439
Revised Code and also was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a 12440
specification of the type described in section 2941.1421 of the 12441
Revised Code regarding one or more of those violations, an 12442
additional prison term of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 12443
eight, nine, ten, eleven, or twelve months.12444

       (b) In lieu of imposing an additional prison term under 12445
division (J)(H)(2)(a) of this section, the court may directly 12446
impose on the offender a sanction that requires the offender to 12447
wear a real-time processing, continual tracking electronic 12448
monitoring device during the period of time specified by the 12449
court. The period of time specified by the court shall equal the 12450
duration of an additional prison term that the court could have 12451
imposed upon the offender under division (J)(H)(2)(a) of this 12452
section. A sanction imposed under this division shall commence on 12453
the date specified by the court, provided that the sanction shall 12454
not commence until after the offender has served the prison term 12455
imposed for the felony violation of section 2907.22, 2907.24, 12456
2907.241, or 2907.25 of the Revised Code and any residential 12457
sanction imposed for the violation under section 2929.16 of the 12458
Revised Code. A sanction imposed under this division shall be 12459
considered to be a community control sanction for purposes of 12460
section 2929.15 of the Revised Code, and all provisions of the 12461
Revised Code that pertain to community control sanctions shall 12462
apply to a sanction imposed under this division, except to the 12463
extent that they would by their nature be clearly inapplicable. 12464
The offender shall pay all costs associated with a sanction 12465
imposed under this division, including the cost of the use of the 12466
monitoring device.12467

       (K)(I)(1) At the time of sentencing, the court may recommend 12468
the offender for placement in a program of shock incarceration 12469
under section 5120.031 of the Revised Code or for placement in an 12470
intensive program prison under section 5120.032 of the Revised 12471
Code, disapprove placement of the offender in a program of shock 12472
incarceration or an intensive program prison of that nature, or 12473
make no recommendation on placement of the offender. In no case 12474
shall the department of rehabilitation and correction place the 12475
offender in a program or prison of that nature unless the 12476
department determines as specified in section 5120.031 or 5120.032 12477
of the Revised Code, whichever is applicable, that the offender is 12478
eligible for the placement.12479

       If the court disapproves placement of the offender in a 12480
program or prison of that nature, the department of rehabilitation 12481
and correction shall not place the offender in any program of 12482
shock incarceration or intensive program prison.12483

       If the court recommends placement of the offender in a 12484
program of shock incarceration or in an intensive program prison, 12485
and if the offender is subsequently placed in the recommended 12486
program or prison, the department shall notify the court of the 12487
placement and shall include with the notice a brief description of 12488
the placement.12489

       If the court recommends placement of the offender in a 12490
program of shock incarceration or in an intensive program prison 12491
and the department does not subsequently place the offender in the 12492
recommended program or prison, the department shall send a notice 12493
to the court indicating why the offender was not placed in the 12494
recommended program or prison.12495

       If the court does not make a recommendation under this 12496
division with respect to an offender and if the department 12497
determines as specified in section 5120.031 or 5120.032 of the 12498
Revised Code, whichever is applicable, that the offender is 12499
eligible for placement in a program or prison of that nature, the 12500
department shall screen the offender and determine if there is an 12501
available program of shock incarceration or an intensive program 12502
prison for which the offender is suited. If there is an available 12503
program of shock incarceration or an intensive program prison for 12504
which the offender is suited, the department shall notify the 12505
court of the proposed placement of the offender as specified in 12506
section 5120.031 or 5120.032 of the Revised Code and shall include 12507
with the notice a brief description of the placement. The court 12508
shall have ten days from receipt of the notice to disapprove the 12509
placement.12510

       (L) If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to 12511
aggravated vehicular homicide in violation of division (A)(1) of 12512
section 2903.06 of the Revised Code and division (B)(2)(c) of that 12513
section applies, the person shall be sentenced pursuant to section 12514
2929.142 of the Revised Code.12515

       Sec. 2929.143.  (A) When a court sentences an offender who is 12516
convicted of a felony to a term of incarceration in a state 12517
correctional institution, the court may recommend that the 12518
offender serve a risk reduction sentence under section 5120.036 of 12519
the Revised Code if the court determines that a risk reduction 12520
sentence is appropriate, and all of the following apply:12521

       (1) The offense for which the offender is being sentenced is 12522
not aggravated murder, murder, complicity in committing aggravated 12523
murder or murder, an offense of violence that is a felony of the 12524
first or second degree, a sexually oriented offense, or an attempt 12525
or conspiracy to commit or complicity in committing any offense 12526
otherwise identified in this division if the attempt, conspiracy, 12527
or complicity is a felony of the first or second degree.12528

       (2) The offender's sentence to the term of incarceration does 12529
not consist solely of one or more mandatory prison terms.12530

       (3) The offender agrees to cooperate with an assessment of 12531
the offender's needs and risk of reoffending that the department 12532
of rehabilitation and correction conducts under section 5120.036 12533
of the Revised Code.12534

       (4) The offender agrees to participate in any programming or 12535
treatment that the department of rehabilitation and correction 12536
orders to address any issues raised in the assessment described in 12537
division (A)(3) of this section.12538

       (B) An offender who is serving a risk reduction sentence is 12539
not entitled to any earned credit under section 2967.193 of the 12540
Revised Code. 12541

       Sec. 2929.15.  (A)(1) If in sentencing an offender for a 12542
felony the court is not required to impose a prison term, a 12543
mandatory prison term, or a term of life imprisonment upon the 12544
offender, the court may directly impose a sentence that consists 12545
of one or more community control sanctions authorized pursuant to 12546
section 2929.16, 2929.17, or 2929.18 of the Revised Code. If the 12547
court is sentencing an offender for a fourth degree felony OVI 12548
offense under division (G)(1) of section 2929.13 of the Revised 12549
Code, in addition to the mandatory term of local incarceration 12550
imposed under that division and the mandatory fine required by 12551
division (B)(3) of section 2929.18 of the Revised Code, the court 12552
may impose upon the offender a community control sanction or 12553
combination of community control sanctions in accordance with 12554
sections 2929.16 and 2929.17 of the Revised Code. If the court is 12555
sentencing an offender for a third or fourth degree felony OVI 12556
offense under division (G)(2) of section 2929.13 of the Revised 12557
Code, in addition to the mandatory prison term or mandatory prison 12558
term and additional prison term imposed under that division, the 12559
court also may impose upon the offender a community control 12560
sanction or combination of community control sanctions under 12561
section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised Code, but the offender 12562
shall serve all of the prison terms so imposed prior to serving 12563
the community control sanction.12564

        The duration of all community control sanctions imposed upon 12565
an offender under this division shall not exceed five years. If 12566
the offender absconds or otherwise leaves the jurisdiction of the 12567
court in which the offender resides without obtaining permission 12568
from the court or the offender's probation officer to leave the 12569
jurisdiction of the court, or if the offender is confined in any 12570
institution for the commission of any offense while under a 12571
community control sanction, the period of the community control 12572
sanction ceases to run until the offender is brought before the 12573
court for its further action. If the court sentences the offender 12574
to one or more nonresidential sanctions under section 2929.17 of 12575
the Revised Code, the court shall impose as a condition of the 12576
nonresidential sanctions that, during the period of the sanctions, 12577
the offender must abide by the law and must not leave the state 12578
without the permission of the court or the offender's probation 12579
officer. The court may impose any other conditions of release 12580
under a community control sanction that the court considers 12581
appropriate, including, but not limited to, requiring that the 12582
offender not ingest or be injected with a drug of abuse and submit 12583
to random drug testing as provided in division (D) of this section 12584
to determine whether the offender ingested or was injected with a 12585
drug of abuse and requiring that the results of the drug test 12586
indicate that the offender did not ingest or was not injected with 12587
a drug of abuse.12588

       (2)(a) If a court sentences an offender to any community 12589
control sanction or combination of community control sanctions 12590
authorized pursuant to section 2929.16, 2929.17, or 2929.18 of the 12591
Revised Code, the court shall place the offender under the general 12592
control and supervision of a department of probation in the county 12593
that serves the court for purposes of reporting to the court a 12594
violation of any condition of the sanctions, any condition of 12595
release under a community control sanction imposed by the court, a 12596
violation of law, or the departure of the offender from this state 12597
without the permission of the court or the offender's probation 12598
officer. Alternatively, if the offender resides in another county 12599
and a county department of probation has been established in that 12600
county or that county is served by a multicounty probation 12601
department established under section 2301.27 of the Revised Code, 12602
the court may request the court of common pleas of that county to 12603
receive the offender into the general control and supervision of 12604
that county or multicounty department of probation for purposes of 12605
reporting to the court a violation of any condition of the 12606
sanctions, any condition of release under a community control 12607
sanction imposed by the court, a violation of law, or the 12608
departure of the offender from this state without the permission 12609
of the court or the offender's probation officer, subject to the 12610
jurisdiction of the trial judge over and with respect to the 12611
person of the offender, and to the rules governing that department 12612
of probation.12613

       If there is no department of probation in the county that 12614
serves the court, the court shall place the offender, regardless 12615
of the offender's county of residence, under the general control 12616
and supervision of the adult parole authority for purposes of 12617
reporting to the court a violation of any of the sanctions, any 12618
condition of release under a community control sanction imposed by 12619
the court, a violation of law, or the departure of the offender 12620
from this state without the permission of the court or the 12621
offender's probation officer.12622

       (b) If the court imposing sentence upon an offender sentences 12623
the offender to any community control sanction or combination of 12624
community control sanctions authorized pursuant to section 12625
2929.16, 2929.17, or 2929.18 of the Revised Code, and if the 12626
offender violates any condition of the sanctions, any condition of 12627
release under a community control sanction imposed by the court, 12628
violates any law, or departs the state without the permission of 12629
the court or the offender's probation officer, the public or 12630
private person or entity that operates or administers the sanction 12631
or the program or activity that comprises the sanction shall 12632
report the violation or departure directly to the sentencing 12633
court, or shall report the violation or departure to the county or 12634
multicounty department of probation with general control and 12635
supervision over the offender under division (A)(2)(a) of this 12636
section or the officer of that department who supervises the 12637
offender, or, if there is no such department with general control 12638
and supervision over the offender under that division, to the 12639
adult parole authority. If the public or private person or entity 12640
that operates or administers the sanction or the program or 12641
activity that comprises the sanction reports the violation or 12642
departure to the county or multicounty department of probation or 12643
the adult parole authority, the department's or authority's 12644
officers may treat the offender as if the offender were on 12645
probation and in violation of the probation, and shall report the 12646
violation of the condition of the sanction, any condition of 12647
release under a community control sanction imposed by the court, 12648
the violation of law, or the departure from the state without the 12649
required permission to the sentencing court.12650

       (3) If an offender who is eligible for community control 12651
sanctions under this section admits to being drug addicted or the 12652
court has reason to believe that the offender is drug addicted, 12653
and if the offense for which the offender is being sentenced was 12654
related to the addiction, the court may require that the offender 12655
be assessed by a properly credentialed professional within a 12656
specified period of time and shall require the professional to 12657
file a written assessment of the offender with the court. If a 12658
court imposes treatment and recovery support services as a 12659
community control sanction, the court shall direct the level and 12660
type of treatment and recovery support services after 12661
consideration of the written assessment, if available at the time 12662
of sentencing, and recommendations of the professional and other 12663
treatment and recovery support services providers.12664

certified under section 3793.06 of the Revised Code or offered by 12672
another properly credentialed program provider.12673

       (B)(1) If the conditions of a community control sanction are 12674
violated or if the offender violates a law or leaves the state 12675
without the permission of the court or the offender's probation 12676
officer, the sentencing court may impose upon the violator one or 12677
more of the following penalties:12678

under the sanctions does not exceed the five-year limit specified 12680
in division (A) of this section;12681

       (b) A more restrictive sanction under section 2929.16, 12682
2929.17, or 2929.18 of the Revised Code;12683

       (c) A prison term on the offender pursuant to section 2929.14 12684

was imposed and shall not exceed the prison term specified in the 12689
notice provided to the offender at the sentencing hearing pursuant 12690
to division (B)(3)(2) of section 2929.19 of the Revised Code. The 12691
court may reduce the longer period of time that the offender is 12692
required to spend under the longer sanction, the more restrictive 12693
sanction, or a prison term imposed pursuant to this division by 12694
the time the offender successfully spent under the sanction that 12695
was initially imposed.12696

       (C) If an offender, for a significant period of time, 12697
fulfills the conditions of a sanction imposed pursuant to section 12698
2929.16, 2929.17, or 2929.18 of the Revised Code in an exemplary 12699
manner, the court may reduce the period of time under the sanction 12700
or impose a less restrictive sanction, but the court shall not 12701
permit the offender to violate any law or permit the offender to 12702
leave the state without the permission of the court or the 12703
offender's probation officer.12704

       (D)(1) If a court under division (A)(1) of this section 12705

under division (A)(2)(a) of this section shall cause the offender 12720
to submit to random drug testing performed by a reputable public 12721
laboratory to determine whether the individual who is the subject 12722
of the drug test ingested or was injected with a drug of abuse.12723

       (3) A laboratory or entity that has entered into a contract 12724
pursuant to section 341.26, 753.33, or 5120.63 of the Revised Code 12725

submit to random drug testing as a condition of release under a 12734
community control sanction and whose test results indicate that 12735
the offender ingested or was injected with a drug of abuse shall 12736
pay the fee for the drug test if the department of probation or 12737
the adult parole authority that has general control and 12738
supervision of the offender requires payment of a fee. A 12739
laboratory or entity that performs the random drug testing on an 12740
offender under division (D)(1) or (2) of this section shall 12741
transmit the results of the drug test to the appropriate 12742
department of probation or the adult parole authority that has 12743
general control and supervision of the offender under division 12744

offender violates that supervision or a condition of post-release 12859
control imposed under division (B) of section 2967.131 of the 12860
Revised Code, the parole board may impose a prison term, as part 12861
of the sentence, of up to one-half of the stated prison term 12862
originally imposed upon the offender. If a court imposes a 12863
sentence including a prison term on or after July 11, 2006, the 12864
failure of a court to notify the offender pursuant to division 12865
(B)(3)(2)(e) of this section that the parole board may impose a 12866
prison term as described in division (B)(3)(2)(e) of this section 12867

board notifies the offender prior to the offender's release of the 12875
board's authority to so impose a prison term. Section 2929.191 of 12876
the Revised Code applies if, prior to July 11, 2006, a court 12877

offender and the prosecuting attorney may make a statement as to 13128
whether the court should issue a correction to the judgment of 13129

       (J)(1) A court shall not grant a judicial release under this 13295
section to an eligible offender who is imprisoned for a felony of 13296
the first or second degree, or to an eligible offender who 13297
committed an offense under Chapter 2925. or 3719. of the Revised 13298
Code and for whom there was a presumption under section 2929.13 of 13299
the Revised Code in favor of a prison term, unless the court, with 13300
reference to factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, 13301
finds both of the following:13302

       (a) That a sanction other than a prison term would adequately 13303
punish the offender and protect the public from future criminal 13304
violations by the eligible offender because the applicable factors 13305
indicating a lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the 13306
applicable factors indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism;13307

       (b) That a sanction other than a prison term would not demean 13308
the seriousness of the offense because factors indicating that the 13309
eligible offender's conduct in committing the offense was less 13310
serious than conduct normally constituting the offense outweigh 13311
factors indicating that the eligible offender's conduct was more 13312
serious than conduct normally constituting the offense.13313

       (2) A court that grants a judicial release to an eligible 13314
offender under division (J)(1) of this section shall specify on 13315
the record both findings required in that division and also shall 13316
list all the factors described in that division that were 13317
presented at the hearing.13318

       (K) If the court grants a motion for judicial release under 13319
this section, the court shall order the release of the eligible 13320
offender, shall place the eligible offender under an appropriate 13321
community control sanction, under appropriate conditions, and 13322
under the supervision of the department of probation serving the 13323
court and shall reserve the right to reimpose the sentence that it 13324
reduced if the offender violates the sanction. If the court 13325
reimposes the reduced sentence, it may do so either concurrently 13326
with, or consecutive to, any new sentence imposed upon the 13327
eligible offender as a result of the violation that is a new 13328
offense. The period of community control shall be no longer than 13329
five years. The court, in its discretion, may reduce the period of 13330
community control by the amount of time the eligible offender 13331
spent in jail or prison for the offense and in prison. If the 13332
court made any findings pursuant to division (J)(1) of this 13333
section, the court shall serve a copy of the findings upon counsel 13334
for the parties within fifteen days after the date on which the 13335
court grants the motion for judicial release.13336

       If the court grants a motion for judicial release, the court 13337
shall notify the appropriate person at the department of 13338
rehabilitation and correction, and the department shall post 13339
notice of the release on the database it maintains pursuant to 13340
section 5120.66 of the Revised Code.13341

       (L) In addition to and independent of the right of a victim 13342
to make a statement pursuant to section 2930.14, 2930.17, or 13343
2946.051 of the Revised Code and any right of a person to present 13344
written information or make a statement pursuant to division (I) 13345
of this section, any person may submit to the court, at any time 13346
prior to the hearing on the offender's motion for judicial 13347
release, a written statement concerning the effects of the 13348
offender's crime or crimes, the circumstances surrounding the 13349
crime or crimes, the manner in which the crime or crimes were 13350
perpetrated, and the person's opinion as to whether the offender 13351
should be released.13352

       (M) The changes to this section that are made on the 13353
effective date of this division apply to any judicial release 13354
decision made on or after the effective date of this division for 13355
any eligible offender.13356

       Sec. 2929.26.  (A) Except when a mandatory jail term is 13357

the costs of confining the offender in a jail has entered into a 13367
contract with the halfway house for use of the facility for 13368
misdemeanor offenders;13369

       (2) A term of up to one hundred eighty days in an alternative 13370
residential facility or a term in an alternative residential 13371
facility not to exceed the longest jail term available for the 13372

security in the alternative residential facility that is needed 13374
for the offender.13375

       (3) If the offender is an eligible offender, as defined in 13376
section 307.932 of the Revised Code, a term of up to sixty days in 13377
a community alternative sentencing center or district community 13378
alternative sentencing center established and operated in 13379

release pursuant to this division shall be only for the duration 13396
of time that is needed to fulfill the purpose of the release and 13397
for travel that reasonably is necessary to fulfill the purposes of 13398
the release.13399

       (C) The court may order that a reasonable portion of the 13400

or releasee. 14329

       (2) "Parolee" and "releasee" have the same meanings as in 14330
section 2967.01 of the Revised Code. 14331

       (B)(1) Except as otherwise provided in divisions (B)(2), (3), 14332
and (4) of this section, a concurrent supervision offender shall 14333
be supervised by the court that imposed the longest possible 14334

the courts consider appropriate, if the offender is supervised by 14358
only a single supervising authority at all times. An agreement to 14359
transfer supervision of an offender under division (B)(4)(a) of 14360
this section shall not take effect until approved by every court 14361
having authority to supervise the offender and may provide for the 14362
transfer of supervision to the offender's jurisdiction of 14363
residence whether or not the offender was subject to supervision 14364
in that jurisdiction prior to transfer. In the case of a 14365
subsequent conviction in a court other than the supervising court, 14366
the supervising court may agree to accept a transfer of 14367
jurisdiction from the court of conviction prior to sentencing and 14368

offices of the supervising authority;14387

       (6) The resources for residential and nonresidential 14388
sanctions or rehabilitative treatment available to the various 14389
courts having supervising authority;14390

       (7) Any other factors consistent with the purposes of 14391
sentencing. 14392

       (D) The court having sole authority over a concurrent 14393
supervision offender pursuant to this section shall have complete 14394
authority for enforcement of any financial obligations imposed by 14395

offender's ability to pay, and shall cause payments of the 14397
offender's financial obligations to be directed to the sentencing 14398
court in proportion to the total amounts ordered by all sentencing 14399

obligations include financial sanctions imposed pursuant to 14401
sections 2929.18 and 2929.28 of the Revised Code, court costs, and 14402

offender shall complete any local residential sanction before 14407
jurisdiction is transferred in accordance with this section. The 14408
supervising court shall respect all conditions of supervision 14409
established by a sentencing court, but any conflicting or 14410
inconsistent order of the supervising court shall supersede any 14411
other order of a sentencing court. In the case of a concurrent 14412
supervision offender, the supervising court shall determine when 14413
supervision will be terminated but shall not terminate supervision 14414
until all financial obligations are paid pursuant to sections 14415

behavior, the court may accept, prior to the entry of a guilty 14432
plea, the offender's request for intervention in lieu of 14433
conviction. The request shall include a statement from the 14434
offender as to whether the offender is alleging that drug or 14435
alcohol usage by the offender was a factor leading to the criminal 14436
offense with which the offender is charged or is alleging that, at 14437
the time of committing that offense, the offender had a mental 14438
illness or was a person with intellectual disability and that the 14439
mental illness or status as a person with intellectual disability 14440

in lieu of conviction and recommending an appropriate intervention 14462
plan. The program or the properly credentialed professional shall 14463

with all terms and conditions imposed by the court pursuant to 14566
division (D) of this section. If the court finds that the offender 14567
is not eligible or does not grant the offender's request, the 14568
criminal proceedings against the offender shall proceed as if the 14569
offender's request for intervention in lieu of conviction had not 14570
been made.14571

       (D) If the court grants an offender's request for 14572
intervention in lieu of conviction, the court shall place the 14573
offender under the general control and supervision of the county 14574
probation department, the adult parole authority, or another 14575
appropriate local probation or court services agency, if one 14576
exists, as if the offender was subject to a community control 14577
sanction imposed under section 2929.15, 2929.18, or 2929.25 of the 14578
Revised Code. The court shall establish an intervention plan for 14579
the offender. The terms and conditions of the intervention plan 14580
shall require the offender, for at least one year from the date on 14581
which the court grants the order of intervention in lieu of 14582
conviction, to abstain from the use of illegal drugs and alcohol, 14583
to participate in treatment and recovery support services, and to 14584
submit to regular random testing for drug and alcohol use and may 14585
include any other treatment terms and conditions, or terms and 14586
conditions similar to community control sanctions, which may 14587
include community service or restitution, that are ordered by the 14588
court.14589

       (E) If the court grants an offender's request for 14590
intervention in lieu of conviction and the court finds that the 14591
offender has successfully completed the intervention plan for the 14592
offender, including the requirement that the offender abstain from 14593
using illegal drugs and alcohol for a period of at least one year 14594
from the date on which the court granted the order of intervention 14595
in lieu of conviction, the requirement that the offender 14596
participate in treatment and recovery support services, and all 14597
other terms and conditions ordered by the court, the court shall 14598
dismiss the proceedings against the offender. Successful 14599
completion of the intervention plan and period of abstinence under 14600
this section shall be without adjudication of guilt and is not a 14601
criminal conviction for purposes of any disqualification or 14602
disability imposed by law and upon conviction of a crime, and the 14603
court may order the sealing of records related to the offense in 14604
question in the manner provided in sections 2953.31 to 2953.36 of 14605
the Revised Code.14606

       (F) If the court grants an offender's request for 14607
intervention in lieu of conviction and the offender fails to 14608
comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the 14609
intervention plan for the offender, the supervising authority for 14610
the offender promptly shall advise the court of this failure, and 14611
the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether the offender 14612
failed to comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the 14613
plan. If the court determines that the offender has failed to 14614
comply with any of those terms and conditions, it shall enter a 14615
finding of guilty and shall impose an appropriate sanction under 14616
Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code. If the court sentences the 14617
offender to a prison term, the court, after consulting with the 14618
department of rehabilitation and correction regarding the 14619
availability of services, may order continued court-supervised 14620
activity and treatment of the offender during the prison term and, 14621
upon consideration of reports received from the department 14622
concerning the offender's progress in the program of activity and 14623
treatment, may consider judicial release under section 2929.20 of 14624
the Revised Code.14625

disability," as defined in this section.14644

arrest the person under a community control sanction without a 14662
warrant if the peace officer has reasonable ground to believe that 14663
the person has violated or is violating any of the following that 14664

probation officer, promptly shall bring the person who was 14692
arrested before the judge or magistrate before whom the cause was 14693
pending.14694

       (C) Nothing in this section limits the powers of arrest 14695
granted to certain law enforcement officers and citizens under 14696
sections 2935.03 and 2935.04 of the Revised Code.14697

       (D) A probation officer shall receive the actual and 14698

       Sec. 2953.08.  (A) In addition to any other right to appeal 14703
and except as provided in division (D) of this section, a 14704
defendant who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony may 14705
appeal as a matter of right the sentence imposed upon the 14706
defendant on one of the following grounds:14707

       (1) The sentence consisted of or included the maximum prison 14708
term allowed for the offense by division (A) of section 2929.14 or 14709
section 2929.142 of the Revised Code, the sentence was not imposed 14710
pursuant to division (D)(3)(b) of section 2929.14 of the Revised 14711
Code, the maximum prison term was not required for the offense 14712
pursuant to Chapter 2925. or any other provision of the Revised 14713
Code, and the court imposed the sentence under one of the 14714
following circumstances:14715

       (a) The sentence was imposed for only one offense.14716

       (b) The sentence was imposed for two or more offenses arising 14717
out of a single incident, and the court imposed the maximum prison 14718
term for the offense of the highest degree.14719

       (2) The sentence consisted of or included a prison term, the 14720
offense for which it was imposed is a felony of the fourth or 14721
fifth degree or is a felony drug offense that is a violation of a 14722
provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is 14723
specified as being subject to division (B) of section 2929.13 of 14724
the Revised Code for purposes of sentencing, and the court did not 14725
specify at sentencing that it found one or more factors specified 14726
in divisions (B)(1)(a) to (i) of section 2929.13 of the Revised 14727
Code to apply relative to the defendant. If the court specifies 14728
that it found one or more of those factors to apply relative to 14729
the defendant, the defendant is not entitled under this division 14730
to appeal as a matter of right the sentence imposed upon the 14731
offender.14732

       (3) The person was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a 14733
violent sex offense or a designated homicide, assault, or 14734
kidnapping offense, was adjudicated a sexually violent predator in 14735
relation to that offense, and was sentenced pursuant to division 14736
(A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, if the minimum term 14737
of the indefinite term imposed pursuant to division (A)(3) of 14738
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code is the longest term available 14739
for the offense from among the range of terms listed in section 14740
2929.14 of the Revised Code. As used in this division, "designated 14741
homicide, assault, or kidnapping offense" and "violent sex 14742
offense" have the same meanings as in section 2971.01 of the 14743
Revised Code. As used in this division, "adjudicated a sexually 14744
violent predator" has the same meaning as in section 2929.01 of 14745
the Revised Code, and a person is "adjudicated a sexually violent 14746
predator" in the same manner and the same circumstances as are 14747
described in that section.14748

       (4) The sentence is contrary to law.14749

ten years imposed pursuant to division (D)(3)(b) of section 14754

provided in division (D) of this section, a prosecuting attorney, 14757
a city director of law, village solicitor, or similar chief legal 14758
officer of a municipal corporation, or the attorney general, if 14759
one of those persons prosecuted the case, may appeal as a matter 14760
of right a sentence imposed upon a defendant who is convicted of 14761
or pleads guilty to a felony or, in the circumstances described in 14762
division (B)(3) of this section the modification of a sentence 14763
imposed upon such a defendant, on any of the following grounds:14764

       (1) The sentence did not include a prison term despite a 14765
presumption favoring a prison term for the offense for which it 14766
was imposed, as set forth in section 2929.13 or Chapter 2925. of 14767
the Revised Code.14768

       (2) The sentence is contrary to law.14769

       (3) The sentence is a modification under section 2929.20 of 14770
the Revised Code of a sentence that was imposed for a felony of 14771
the first or second degree.14772

       (C)(1) In addition to the right to appeal a sentence granted 14773
under division (A) or (B) of this section, a defendant who is 14774
convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony may seek leave to appeal 14775
a sentence imposed upon the defendant on the basis that the 14776
sentencing judge has imposed consecutive sentences under division 14777
(E)(C)(3) or (4) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code and that 14778
the consecutive sentences exceed the maximum prison term allowed 14779
by division (A) of that section for the most serious offense of 14780
which the defendant was convicted. Upon the filing of a motion 14781
under this division, the court of appeals may grant leave to 14782
appeal the sentence if the court determines that the allegation 14783
included as the basis of the motion is true.14784

       (2) A defendant may seek leave to appeal an additional 14785
sentence imposed upon the defendant pursuant to division 14786
(D)(B)(2)(a) or (b) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code if the 14787
additional sentence is for a definite prison term that is longer 14788
than five years.14789

       (D)(1) A sentence imposed upon a defendant is not subject to 14790
review under this section if the sentence is authorized by law, 14791
has been recommended jointly by the defendant and the prosecution 14792
in the case, and is imposed by a sentencing judge.14793

       (2) Except as provided in division (C)(2) of this section, a 14794
sentence imposed upon a defendant is not subject to review under 14795
this section if the sentence is imposed pursuant to division 14796
(D)(B)(2)(b) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code. Except as 14797
otherwise provided in this division, a defendant retains all 14798
rights to appeal as provided under this chapter or any other 14799
provision of the Revised Code. A defendant has the right to appeal 14800
under this chapter or any other provision of the Revised Code the 14801
court's application of division (D)(B)(2)(c) of section 2929.14 of 14802
the Revised Code.14803

       (3) A sentence imposed for aggravated murder or murder 14804
pursuant to sections 2929.02 to 2929.06 of the Revised Code is not 14805
subject to review under this section.14806

       (E) A defendant, prosecuting attorney, city director of law, 14807
village solicitor, or chief municipal legal officer shall file an 14808
appeal of a sentence under this section to a court of appeals 14809
within the time limits specified in Rule 4(B) of the Rules of 14810
Appellate Procedure, provided that if the appeal is pursuant to 14811
division (B)(3) of this section, the time limits specified in that 14812
rule shall not commence running until the court grants the motion 14813
that makes the sentence modification in question. A sentence 14814
appeal under this section shall be consolidated with any other 14815
appeal in the case. If no other appeal is filed, the court of 14816
appeals may review only the portions of the trial record that 14817
pertain to sentencing.14818

       (F) On the appeal of a sentence under this section, the 14819
record to be reviewed shall include all of the following, as 14820
applicable:14821

       (1) Any presentence, psychiatric, or other investigative 14822
report that was submitted to the court in writing before the 14823
sentence was imposed. An appellate court that reviews a 14824
presentence investigation report prepared pursuant to section 14825
2947.06 or 2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 in 14826
connection with the appeal of a sentence under this section shall 14827
comply with division (D)(3) of section 2951.03 of the Revised Code 14828
when the appellate court is not using the presentence 14829
investigation report, and the appellate court's use of a 14830
presentence investigation report of that nature in connection with 14831
the appeal of a sentence under this section does not affect the 14832
otherwise confidential character of the contents of that report as 14833
described in division (D)(1) of section 2951.03 of the Revised 14834
Code and does not cause that report to become a public record, as 14835
defined in section 149.43 of the Revised Code, following the 14836
appellate court's use of the report.14837

       (2) The trial record in the case in which the sentence was 14838
imposed;14839

       (3) Any oral or written statements made to or by the court at 14840
the sentencing hearing at which the sentence was imposed;14841

       (4) Any written findings that the court was required to make 14842
in connection with the modification of the sentence pursuant to a 14843
judicial release under division (I) of section 2929.20 of the 14844
Revised Code.14845

       (G)(1) If the sentencing court was required to make the 14846
findings required by division (B) or (D) of section 2929.13, 14847
division (D)(2)(e) or (E)(4) of section 2929.14, or division (I) 14848
of section 2929.20 of the Revised Code, or to state the findings 14849
of the trier of fact required by division (B)(2)(e) of section 14850
2929.14 of the Revised Code, relative to the imposition or 14851
modification of the sentence, and if the sentencing court failed 14852
to state the required findings on the record, the court hearing an 14853
appeal under division (A), (B), or (C) of this section shall 14854
remand the case to the sentencing court and instruct the 14855
sentencing court to state, on the record, the required findings.14856

       (2) The court hearing an appeal under division (A), (B), or 14857
(C) of this section shall review the record, including the 14858
findings underlying the sentence or modification given by the 14859
sentencing court.14860

       The appellate court may increase, reduce, or otherwise modify 14861
a sentence that is appealed under this section or may vacate the 14862
sentence and remand the matter to the sentencing court for 14863
resentencing. The appellate court's standard for review is not 14864
whether the sentencing court abused its discretion. The appellate 14865
court may take any action authorized by this division if it 14866
clearly and convincingly finds either of the following:14867

       (a) That the record does not support the sentencing court's 14868
findings under division (B) or (D) of section 2929.13, division 14869
(D)(B)(2)(e) or (E)(C)(4) of section 2929.14, or division (I) of 14870
section 2929.20 of the Revised Code, whichever, if any, is 14871
relevant;14872

       (b) That the sentence is otherwise contrary to law.14873

       (H) A judgment or final order of a court of appeals under 14874
this section may be appealed, by leave of court, to the supreme 14875
court.14876

       (I)(1) There is hereby established the felony sentence appeal 14877
cost oversight committee, consisting of eight members. One member 14878

month as did the term that it succeeds. Members may be 14912
reappointed. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner provided 14913
for original appointments. A member appointed to fill a vacancy 14914
occurring prior to the expiration of the term for which that 14915
member's predecessor was appointed shall hold office as a member 14916
for the remainder of the predecessor's term. An appointed member 14917
shall continue in office subsequent to the expiration date of that 14918
member's term until that member's successor takes office or until 14919
a period of sixty days has elapsed, whichever occurs first.14920

       If the chief justice of the supreme court, the director of 14921
the office of budget and management, or the state public defender 14922
serves as a member of the committee, that person's term of office 14923
as a member shall continue for as long as that person holds office 14924
as chief justice, director of the office of budget and management, 14925
or state public defender. If the chief justice of the supreme 14926

the person so designated shall serve as a member of the commission 14932
for as long as the official who made the designation holds office 14933
as chief justice, director of the office of budget and management, 14934
or state public defender or until that official revokes the 14935
designation.14936

chairperson of the committee. The committee shall meet within two 14939
weeks after all appointed members have been appointed and shall 14940
organize as necessary. Thereafter, the committee shall meet at 14941
least once every six months or more often upon the call of the 14942
chairperson or the written request of three or more members, 14943
provided that the committee shall not meet unless moneys have been 14944
appropriated to the judiciary budget administered by the supreme 14945
court specifically for the purpose of providing financial 14946
assistance to counties under division (I)(2) of this section and 14947
the moneys so appropriated then are available for that purpose.14948

       The members of the committee shall serve without 14949
compensation, but, if moneys have been appropriated to the 14950
judiciary budget administered by the supreme court specifically 14951
for the purpose of providing financial assistance to counties 14952

a time specified in division (A) or (B) of this section, whichever 15078

(C)(3) of this section, the department or authority shall issue 15106

under this section grants the prisoner relief from the mandatory 15117
civil impacts identified in division (A)(1) of section 2961.01 and 15118
in division (B) of section 2961.02 of the Revised Code.15119

and (b) of this section.15124

       Sec. 2961.23.  (A)(1) If a person who has been issued a 15125
certificate of achievement and employability under section 2961.22 15126
of the Revised Code applies to a licensing agency for a license or 15127
certificate and the person has a conviction or guilty plea that 15128
otherwise would bar licensure or certification for the person 15129
because of a mandatory civil impact, the agency shall give the 15130
person individualized consideration for the license or 15131
certification, notwithstanding the mandatory civil impact, the 15132
mandatory civil impact shall be considered for all purposes to be 15133
a discretionary civil impact, and the certificate constitutes a 15134
rebuttable presumption that the person's criminal convictions are 15135
insufficient evidence that the person is unfit for the license or 15136
certification in question. Notwithstanding the presumption 15137
established under this division, the agency may deny the license 15138
or certification for the person if it determines that the person 15139
is unfit for issuance of the license.15140

       (2) If an employer that has hired a person who has been 15141
issued a certificate of achievement and employability under 15142
section 2961.22 of the Revised Code applies to a licensing agency 15143
for a license or certification and the person has a conviction or 15144
guilty plea that otherwise would bar the person's employment with 15145
the employer or licensure for the employer because of a mandatory 15146
civil impact, the agency shall give the person individualized 15147
consideration, notwithstanding the mandatory civil impact, the 15148
mandatory civil impact shall be considered for all purposes to be 15149
a discretionary civil impact, and the certificate constitutes a 15150
rebuttable presumption that the person's criminal convictions are 15151
insufficient evidence that the person is unfit for the employment, 15152
or that the employer is unfit for the license or certification, in 15153
question. Notwithstanding the presumption established under this 15154
division, the agency may deny the license or certification for the 15155
employer if it determines that the person is unfit for the 15156
employment or that the employer is unfit for the license or 15157
certification.15158

       (B) If an employer hires a person who has been issued a 15159
certificate of achievement and employability under section 2961.22 15160
of the Revised Code and if the person presents the employer with a 15161
copy of the certificate, all of the following apply:15162

       (1) If a subsequent civil action against the employer alleges 15163
that the employer was negligent in hiring the person and if the 15164
civil action includes as an element of the alleged negligence that 15165
the employer had actual or constructive knowledge of the 15166
incompetence or dangerousness of the person, the person's 15167
presentation of the certificate to the employer is an absolute 15168
defense for the employer to the element of the employer's actual 15169
or constructive knowledge of the incompetence or dangerousness of 15170
the person.15171

       (2) If the person, after being hired, subsequently 15172
demonstrates dangerousness and if the employer retains the person 15173
as an employee after the demonstration of dangerousness, the 15174
employer may be held liable in a civil action that is based on or 15175
relates to the retention of the person as an employee only if it 15176
is proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the person 15177
having hiring and firing responsibility for the employer had 15178
actual knowledge that the employee was dangerous and was willful 15179
in retaining the person as an employee after the demonstration of 15180
dangerousness of which the person had actual knowledge.15181

       Sec. 2961.24.  The department of rehabilitation and 15182
correction shall adopt rules that specify standards and criteria 15183
for the revocation of a certificate of achievement and 15184
employability issued under section 2961.22 of the Revised Code. 15185
The rules shall require revocation of a certificate that has been 15186
issued to a person if the person is convicted of or pleads guilty 15187
to any offense other than a minor misdemeanor or a traffic 15188
offense. The rules shall not provide for revocation of a 15189
certificate that has been issued to a person based on a violation 15190
of a condition of conditional pardon, parole, other form of 15191
authorized release, transitional control, or post-release control 15192
under section 2967.15 of the Revised Code that is not also a 15193
criminal offense under any other section of the Revised Code.15194

       Sec. 2967.14.  (A) The department of rehabilitation and 15195
correction or the adult parole authority may require or allow a 15196
parolee or, a releasee, or a prisoner otherwise released from a 15197
state correctional institution to reside in a halfway house or 15198
other suitable community residential center that has been licensed 15199
by the division of parole and community services pursuant to 15200
division (C) of this section during a part or for the entire 15201
period of the offender's or parolee's conditional release or of 15202
the releasee's term of post-release control. The court of common 15203
pleas that placed an offender under a sanction consisting of a 15204
term in a halfway house or in an alternative residential sanction 15205
may require the offender to reside in a halfway house or other 15206
suitable community residential center that is designated by the 15207
court and that has been licensed by the division pursuant to 15208
division (C) of this section during a part or for the entire 15209
period of the offender's residential sanction.15210

       (B) The division of parole and community services may 15211
negotiate and enter into agreements with any public or private 15212
agency or a department or political subdivision of the state that 15213
operates a halfway house, reentry center, or community residential 15214
center that has been licensed by the division pursuant to division 15215
(C) of this section. An agreement under this division shall 15216
provide for the purchase of beds, shall set limits of supervision 15217
and levels of occupancy, and shall determine the scope of services 15218
for all eligible offenders, including those subject to a 15219
residential sanction, as defined in rules adopted by the director 15220
of rehabilitation and correction in accordance with Chapter 119. 15221
of the Revised Code, or those released from prison without 15222
supervision. The payments for beds and services shall be equal to 15223
the halfway house's or community residential center's average 15224
daily per capita costs with its facility at full occupancy. The 15225
payments for beds and services shall not exceed the total 15226
operating costs of the halfway house, reentry center, or community 15227
residential center during the term of an agreement. The director 15228
of rehabilitation and correction shall adopt rules in accordance 15229
with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code for determining includable 15230
and excludable costs and income to be used in computing the 15231
agency's average daily per capita costs with its facility at full 15232
occupancy.15233

       The department of rehabilitation and correction may use no 15234
more than ten per cent of the amount appropriated to the 15235
department each fiscal year for the halfway house, reentry center,15236
and community residential center program to pay for contracts for 15237
nonresidential services for offenders under the supervision of the 15238
adult parole authority. The nonresidential services may include, 15239
but are not limited to, treatment for substance abuse, mental 15240
health counseling, and counseling for sex offenders, and 15241
electronic monitoring services.15242

       (C) The division of parole and community services may license 15243
a halfway house, reentry center, or community residential center 15244
as a suitable facility for the care and treatment of adult 15245
offenders, including offenders sentenced under section 2929.16 or 15246
2929.26 of the Revised Code, only if the halfway house, reentry 15247
center, or community residential center complies with the 15248
standards that the division adopts in accordance with Chapter 119. 15249
of the Revised Code for the licensure of halfway houses, reentry 15250
centers, and community residential centers. The division shall 15251

stated prison term of one year or more who is eligible under 15316
division (C) of this section for a release under this section and 15317
who has served at least eighty per cent of that stated prison term 15318
that remains to be served after the offender becomes eligible as 15319
described in that division. If the director wishes to submit a 15320
petition for release under this section, the director shall submit 15321
the petition not earlier than ninety days prior to the date on 15322
which the offender has served eighty per cent of the offender's 15323
stated prison term that remains to be served after the offender 15324

specified in that division. For purposes of determining an 15351
offender's eligibility for release under this section, if the 15352
offender's stated prison term includes consecutive prison terms, 15353
any restricting prison terms shall be deemed served prior to any 15354
eligible prison terms that run consecutively to the restricting 15355
prison terms, and the eligible prison terms are deemed to commence 15356
after all of the restricting prison terms have been fully served.15357

       An offender serving a stated prison term one one year or more 15358
that includes a mandatory prison term that is not a disqualifying 15359
prison term and is not a restricting prison term is not 15360
automatically ineligible as a result of the offender's service of 15361
that mandatory term for release from prison under this section, 15362
and the offender's eligibility for release from prison under this 15363
section is determined in accordance with this division.15364

       (2) If an offender confined in a state correctional 15365
institution under a stated prison term is eligible for release 15366
under this section as described in division (C)(1) of this 15367
section, the director of rehabilitation and correction may 15368
petition the sentencing court pursuant to division (B) of this 15369
section for the release from prison of the offender.15370

       (D) The director shall include with any petition submitted to 15371
the sentencing court under this section an institutional summary 15372
report that covers the offender's participation while confined in 15373
a state correctional institution in school, training, work, 15374
treatment, and other rehabilitative activities and any 15375
disciplinary action taken against the offender while so confined. 15376
The director shall include with the petition a post-release 15377
control assessment and placement plan, when relevant, and any 15378
other documentation requested by the court, if available.15379

       (E) When the director submits a petition under this section 15380
for release of an offender, the department promptly shall provide 15381
to the prosecuting attorney of the county in which the offender 15382
was indicted a copy of the petition, a copy of the institutional 15383
summary report, and any other information provided to the court. 15384
The department also promptly shall give notice of the filing of 15385
the petition to any victim of the offender or victim's 15386
representative of any victim of the offender who is registered 15387
with the office of victim's services. 15388

       The department also shall post notice of the petition on the 15389
database it maintains under section 5120.66 of the Revised Code 15390
and include information on where a person may send comments 15391
regarding the petition.15392

       (F) Upon receipt of a petition for release of an offender 15393
submitted by the director under this section, the court may deny 15394
the petition without a hearing. The court shall not grant a 15395
petition for release of an offender without a hearing. If a court 15396
denies a petition for release of an offender without a hearing, 15397
the court may later consider release of that offender on a 15398
subsequent petition. The court shall enter its ruling within 15399
thirty days after the petition is filed. 15400

       (G) If the court grants a hearing on a petition for release 15401
of an offender submitted under this section, the court shall 15402
notify the head of the state correctional institution in which the 15403
offender is confined of the hearing prior to the hearing. If the 15404
court makes a journal entry ordering the offender to be conveyed 15405
to the hearing, except as otherwise provided in this division, the 15406
head of the correctional institution shall deliver the offender to 15407
the sheriff of the county in which the hearing is to be held, and 15408
the sheriff shall convey the offender to and from the hearing. 15409
Upon the court's own motion or the motion of the offender or the 15410
prosecuting attorney of the county in which the offender was 15411
indicted, the court may permit the offender to appear at the 15412
hearing by video conferencing equipment if equipment of that 15413
nature is available and compatible.15414

       Upon receipt of notice from a court of a hearing on the 15415
release of an offender under this division, the head of the state 15416
correctional institution in which the offender is confined 15417
immediately shall notify the appropriate person at the department 15418
of rehabilitation and correction of the hearing, and the 15419
department within twenty-four hours after receipt of the notice 15420
shall post on the database it maintains pursuant to section 15421
5120.66 of the Revised Code the offender's name and all of the 15422
information specified in division (A)(1)(c)(i) of that section. If 15423
the court grants a hearing on a petition for release of an 15424
offender under this section, the court promptly shall give notice 15425
of the hearing to the prosecuting attorney of the county in which 15426
the offender was indicted. Upon receipt of the notice from the 15427
court, the prosecuting attorney shall notify pursuant to section 15428
2930.16 of the Revised Code any victim of the offender or the 15429
victim's representative of the hearing.15430

       (H) If the court grants a hearing on a petition for release 15431
of an offender under this section, at the hearing, the court shall 15432
afford the offender and the offender's attorney an opportunity to 15433
present written information and, if present, oral information 15434
relevant to the motion. The court shall afford a similar 15435
opportunity to the prosecuting attorney, victim or victim's 15436
representative, as defined in section 2930.01 of the Revised Code, 15437
and any other person the court determines is likely to present 15438
additional relevant information. If the court pursuant to division 15439
(G) of this section permits the offender to appear at the hearing 15440
by video conferencing equipment, the offender's opportunity to 15441
present oral information shall be as a part of the video 15442
conferencing. The court shall consider any statement of a victim 15443
made under section 2930.14 or 2930.17 of the Revised Code, any 15444
victim impact statement prepared under 2947.051 of the Revised 15445
Code, and any report, plan, and other documentation submitted by 15446
the director under division (D) of this section. After ruling on 15447
the motion, the court shall notify the victim in accordance with 15448
sections 2930.03 and 2930.16 of the Revised Code.15449

       (I) If the court grants a petition for release of an offender 15450
under this section, it shall order the release of the offender, 15451
shall place the offender under one or more appropriate community 15452
control sanctions, under appropriate conditions, and under the 15453
supervision of the department of probation that serves the court, 15454
and shall reserve the right to reimpose the sentence that it 15455
reduced and from which the offender was released if the offender 15456
violates the sanction. The court shall not make a release under 15457
this section effective prior to the date on which the offender has 15458
served at least eighty per cent of the offender's stated prison 15459
term that remains to be served after the offender becomes eligible 15460
as described in division (C) of this section. If the sentence 15461
under which the offender is confined in a state correctional 15462
institution and from which the offender is being released was 15463
imposed for a felony of the first or second degree, the court 15464
shall consider ordering that the offender be monitored by means of 15465
a global positioning device. If the court reimposes the sentence 15466
that it reduced and from which the offender was released and if 15467
the violation of the sanction is a new offense, the court may 15468
order that the reimposed sentence be served either concurrently 15469
with, or consecutive to, any new sentence imposed upon the 15470
offender as a result of the violation that is a new offense. The 15471
period of all community control sanctions imposed under this 15472
division shall not exceed five years. The court, in its 15473
discretion, may reduce the period of community control sanctions 15474
by the amount of time the offender spent in jail or prison for the 15475
offense.15476

       If the court grants a petition for release of an offender 15477
under this section, it shall notify the appropriate person at the 15478
department of rehabilitation and correction of the release, and 15479
the department shall post notice of the release on the database it 15480
maintains pursuant to section 5120.66 of the Revised Code.15481

       (J) The department shall adopt under Chapter 119. of the 15482
Revised Code any rules necessary to implement this section.15483

       Sec. 2967.193.  (A)(1) Except as provided in division (C) of 15484

stated prison term for each fullcompleted month during which the 15492
person productively participates in an education program, 15493
vocational training, employment in prison industries, treatment 15494
for substance abuse, treatment as a sex offender, or any other 15495
constructive program developed by the department with specific 15496
standards for performance by prisoners. Except as provided in 15497
division (C) of this section and subject to the maximum aggregate 15498
total specified in division (A)(2) of this section, a person so 15499
confined who successfully completes two programs or activities of 15500
that type may, in addition, provisionally earn up to five days of 15501
credit toward satisfaction of the person's stated prison term for 15502
the successful completion of the second program or activity. The 15503
person shall not be awarded any provisional days of credit for the 15504
successful completion of the first program or activity or for the 15505
successful completion of any program or activity that is completed 15506
after the second program or activity. At the end of each calendar 15507
month in which a prisoner productively participates in a program 15508
or activity listed in this division or successfully completes a 15509

and record the total number of days credit that the prisoner 15513
provisionally earned in that calendar month. If the prisoner 15514
violates prison rules, the department may deny the prisoner a 15515
credit that otherwise could have been provisionally awarded to the 15516
prisoner or may withdraw one or more credits previously 15517
provisionally earned by the prisoner. Days of credit provisionally 15518
earned by a prisoner shall be finalized and awarded by the 15519
department subject to administrative review by the department of 15520
the prisoner's conduct.15521

       (2) The aggregate days of credit provisionally earned by a 15522
person for program or activity participation and program and 15523
activity completion under this section and the aggregate days of 15524
credit finally credited to a person under this section shall not 15525
exceed eight per cent of the total number of days in the person's 15526
stated prison term.15527

       If a prisoner is released before the expiration of the 15528
prisoner's stated prison term by reason of credit earned under 15529
this section, the department shall retain control of the prisoner 15530
by means of an appropriate post-release control sanction imposed 15531
by the parole board until the end of the stated prison term if the 15532
parole board imposes a post-release control sanction pursuant to 15533
section 2967.28 of the Revised Code. If the parole board is not 15534
required to impose a post-release control sanction under section 15535
2967.28 of the Revised Code, the parole board may elect not to 15536
impose a post-release control sanction on the prisoner.15537

       (B) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall 15538
adopt rules that specify the programs or activities for which 15539
credit may be earned under this section, the criteria for 15540
determining productive participation in, or completion of, the 15541
programs or activities and the criteria for awarding credit, 15542
including criteria for awarding additional credit for successful 15543

the court is required to include notice of the type described in 15627
division (F)(3) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code in the 15628
offender's sentence, the failure of the court to include the 15629
notice does not affect the eligibility of the offender under this 15630
section to earn any days of credit as a deduction from the 15631
offender's stated prison term or otherwise render any part of this 15632
section or any action taken under this section void or voidable 15633
and does not constitute grounds for setting aside the offender's 15634
conviction or sentence or for granting postconviction relief to 15635
the offender. 15636

       (F) The department annually shall seek and consider the 15637

       (B) Each sentence to a prison term for a felony of the first 15654
degree, for a felony of the second degree, for a felony sex 15655
offense, or for a felony of the third degree that is not a felony 15656
sex offense and in the commission of which the offender caused or 15657
threatened to cause physical harm to a person shall include a 15658
requirement that the offender be subject to a period of 15659
post-release control imposed by the parole board after the 15660
offender's release from imprisonment. If a court imposes a 15661
sentence including a prison term of a type described in this 15662
division on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a sentencing 15663
court to notify the offender pursuant to division (B)(3)(2)(c) of 15664

the judgment of conviction entered on the journal or in the 15675
sentence pursuant to division (F)(D)(1) of section 2929.14 of the 15676
Revised Code a statement regarding post-release control. Unless 15677
reduced by the parole board pursuant to division (D) of this 15678
section when authorized under that division, a period of 15679
post-release control required by this division for an offender 15680

parole board, in accordance with division (D) of this section, 15694
determines that a period of post-release control is necessary for 15695
that offender. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, 15696
prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a 15697
prison term of a type described in this division and failed to 15698
notify the offender pursuant to division (B)(3)(2)(d) of section 15699
2929.19 of the Revised Code regarding post-release control or to 15700
include in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal or in 15701
the sentence pursuant to division (F)(D)(2) of section 2929.14 of 15702
the Revised Code a statement regarding post-release control. 15703
Pursuant to an agreement entered into under section 2967.29 of the 15704
Revised Code, a court of common pleas or parole board may impose 15705
sanctions or conditions on an offender who is placed on 15706
post-release control under this division.15707

       (D)(1) Before the prisoner is released from imprisonment, the 15708
parole board or, pursuant to an agreement under section 2967.29 of 15709
the Revised Code, the court shall impose upon a prisoner described 15710
in division (B) of this section, may impose upon a prisoner 15711
described in division (C) of this section, and shall impose upon a 15712
prisoner described in division (B)(2)(b) of section 5120.031 or in 15713
division (B)(1) of section 5120.032 of the Revised Code, one or 15714
more post-release control sanctions to apply during the prisoner's 15715
period of post-release control. Whenever the board or court 15716
imposes one or more post-release control sanctions upon a 15717
prisoner, the board or court, in addition to imposing the 15718
sanctions, also shall include as a condition of the post-release 15719
control that the offender not leave the state without permission 15720
of the court or the offender's parole or probation officer and 15721
that the offender abide by the law. The board or court may impose 15722
any other conditions of release under a post-release control 15723
sanction that the board or court considers appropriate, and the 15724
conditions of release may include any community residential 15725
sanction, community nonresidential sanction, or financial sanction 15726
that the sentencing court was authorized to impose pursuant to 15727
sections 2929.16, 2929.17, and 2929.18 of the Revised Code. Prior 15728
to the release of a prisoner for whom it will impose one or more 15729
post-release control sanctions under this division, the parole 15730
board or court shall review the prisoner's criminal history, 15731
results from the single validated risk assessment tool selected by 15732
the department of rehabilitation and correction under section 15733
5120.114 of the Revised Code, all juvenile court adjudications 15734
finding the prisoner, while a juvenile, to be a delinquent child, 15735
and the record of the prisoner's conduct while imprisoned. The 15736
parole board or court shall consider any recommendation regarding 15737
post-release control sanctions for the prisoner made by the office 15738
of victims' services. After considering those materials, the board 15739
or court shall determine, for a prisoner described in division (B) 15740
of this section, division (B)(2)(b) of section 5120.031, or 15741
division (B)(1) of section 5120.032 of the Revised Code, which 15742
post-release control sanction or combination of post-release 15743
control sanctions is reasonable under the circumstances or, for a 15744
prisoner described in division (C) of this section, whether a 15745
post-release control sanction is necessary and, if so, which 15746
post-release control sanction or combination of post-release 15747
control sanctions is reasonable under the circumstances. In the 15748
case of a prisoner convicted of a felony of the fourth or fifth 15749
degree other than a felony sex offense, the board or court shall 15750
presume that monitored time is the appropriate post-release 15751
control sanction unless the board or court determines that a more 15752
restrictive sanction is warranted. A post-release control sanction 15753
imposed under this division takes effect upon the prisoner's 15754
release from imprisonment.15755

        Regardless of whether the prisoner was sentenced to the 15756
prison term prior to, on, or after July 11, 2006, prior to the 15757
release of a prisoner for whom it will impose one or more 15758
post-release control sanctions under this division, the parole 15759
board shall notify the prisoner that, if the prisoner violates any 15760
sanction so imposed or any condition of post-release control 15761
described in division (B) of section 2967.131 of the Revised Code 15762
that is imposed on the prisoner, the parole board may impose a 15763
prison term of up to one-half of the stated prison term originally 15764
imposed upon the prisoner.15765

       (2) If a prisoner who is placed on post-release control under 15766
this section is released before the expiration of the prisoner's 15767
stated prison term by reason of credit earned under section 15768
2967.193 of the Revised Code and if the prisoner earned sixty or 15769
more days of credit, the adult parole authority shall supervise 15770
the offender with an active global positioning system device for 15771
the first fourteen days after the offender's release from 15772
imprisonment. This division does not prohibit or limit the 15773
imposition of any post-release control sanction otherwise 15774
authorized by this section.15775

       (3) At any time after a prisoner is released from 15776
imprisonment and during the period of post-release control 15777
applicable to the releasee, the adult parole authority or, 15778
pursuant to an agreement under section 2967.29 of the Revised 15779
Code, the court may review the releasee's behavior under the 15780
post-release control sanctions imposed upon the releasee under 15781
this section. The authority or court may determine, based upon the 15782
review and in accordance with the standards established under 15783
division (E) of this section, that a more restrictive or a less 15784
restrictive sanction is appropriate and may impose a different 15785
sanction. The authority also may recommend that the parole board 15786
or court increase or reduce the duration of the period of 15787
post-release control imposed by the court. If the authority 15788
recommends that the board or court increase the duration of 15789
post-release control, the board or court shall review the 15790
releasee's behavior and may increase the duration of the period of 15791
post-release control imposed by the court up to eight years. If 15792
the authority recommends that the board or court reduce the 15793
duration of control for an offense described in division (B) or 15794
(C) of this section, the board or court shall review the 15795
releasee's behavior and may reduce the duration of the period of 15796
control imposed by the court. In no case shall the board or court 15797
reduce the duration of the period of control imposed for an 15798
offense described in division (B)(1) of this section to a period 15799
less than the length of the stated prison term originally imposed, 15800
and in no case shall the board or court permit the releasee to 15801
leave the state without permission of the court or the releasee's 15802
parole or probation officer.15803

       (E) The department of rehabilitation and correction, in 15804
accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, shall adopt 15805
rules that do all of the following:15806

       (1) Establish standards for the imposition by the parole 15807
board of post-release control sanctions under this section that 15808
are consistent with the overriding purposes and sentencing 15809
principles set forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and 15810
that are appropriate to the needs of releasees;15811

       (2) Establish standards by which the parole board can 15812
determine which prisoners described in division (C) of this 15813
section should be placed under a period of post-release control;15814

       (3) Establish standards to be used by the parole board in 15815
reducing the duration of the period of post-release control 15816
imposed by the court when authorized under division (D) of this 15817
section, in imposing a more restrictive post-release control 15818
sanction than monitored time upon a prisoner convicted of a felony 15819
of the fourth or fifth degree other than a felony sex offense, or 15820
in imposing a less restrictive control sanction upon a releasee 15821
based on the releasee's activities including, but not limited to, 15822
remaining free from criminal activity and from the abuse of 15823
alcohol or other drugs, successfully participating in approved 15824
rehabilitation programs, maintaining employment, and paying 15825
restitution to the victim or meeting the terms of other financial 15826
sanctions;15827

       (4) Establish standards to be used by the adult parole 15828
authority in modifying a releasee's post-release control sanctions 15829
pursuant to division (D)(2) of this section;15830

       (5) Establish standards to be used by the adult parole 15831
authority or parole board in imposing further sanctions under 15832
division (F) of this section on releasees who violate post-release 15833
control sanctions, including standards that do the following:15834

       (a) Classify violations according to the degree of 15835
seriousness;15836

       (b) Define the circumstances under which formal action by the 15837
parole board is warranted;15838

       (c) Govern the use of evidence at violation hearings;15839

       (d) Ensure procedural due process to an alleged violator;15840

       (e) Prescribe nonresidential community control sanctions for 15841
most misdemeanor and technical violations;15842

       (f) Provide procedures for the return of a releasee to 15843
imprisonment for violations of post-release control.15844

       (F)(1) Whenever the parole board imposes one or more 15845
post-release control sanctions upon an offender under this 15846
section, the offender upon release from imprisonment shall be 15847
under the general jurisdiction of the adult parole authority and 15848
generally shall be supervised by the field services section 15849
through its staff of parole and field officers as described in 15850
section 5149.04 of the Revised Code, as if the offender had been 15851
placed on parole. If the offender upon release from imprisonment 15852
violates the post-release control sanction or any conditions 15853
described in division (A) of section 2967.131 of the Revised Code 15854
that are imposed on the offender, the public or private person or 15855
entity that operates or administers the sanction or the program or 15856
activity that comprises the sanction shall report the violation 15857
directly to the adult parole authority or to the officer of the 15858
authority who supervises the offender. The authority's officers 15859
may treat the offender as if the offender were on parole and in 15860
violation of the parole, and otherwise shall comply with this 15861
section.15862

       (2) If the adult parole authority or, pursuant to an 15863
agreement under section 2967.29 of the Revised Code, the court 15864
determines that a releasee has violated a post-release control 15865
sanction or any conditions described in division (A) of section 15866
2967.131 of the Revised Code imposed upon the releasee and that a 15867
more restrictive sanction is appropriate, the authority or court 15868
may impose a more restrictive sanction upon the releasee, in 15869
accordance with the standards established under division (E) of 15870
this section or in accordance with the agreement made under 15871
section 2967.29 of the Revised Code, or may report the violation 15872
to the parole board for a hearing pursuant to division (F)(3) of 15873
this section. The authority or court may not, pursuant to this 15874
division, increase the duration of the releasee's post-release 15875
control or impose as a post-release control sanction a residential 15876
sanction that includes a prison term, but the authority or court 15877
may impose on the releasee any other residential sanction, 15878
nonresidential sanction, or financial sanction that the sentencing 15879
court was authorized to impose pursuant to sections 2929.16, 15880
2929.17, and 2929.18 of the Revised Code.15881

       (3) The parole board or, pursuant to an agreement under 15882
section 2967.29 of the Revised Code, the court may hold a hearing 15883
on any alleged violation by a releasee of a post-release control 15884
sanction or any conditions described in division (A) of section 15885
2967.131 of the Revised Code that are imposed upon the releasee. 15886
If after the hearing the board or court finds that the releasee 15887
violated the sanction or condition, the board or court may 15888
increase the duration of the releasee's post-release control up to 15889
the maximum duration authorized by division (B) or (C) of this 15890
section or impose a more restrictive post-release control 15891
sanction. When appropriate, the board or court may impose as a 15892
post-release control sanction a residential sanction that includes 15893
a prison term. The board or court shall consider a prison term as 15894
a post-release control sanction imposed for a violation of 15895
post-release control when the violation involves a deadly weapon 15896
or dangerous ordnance, physical harm or attempted serious physical 15897
harm to a person, or sexual misconduct, or when the releasee 15898
committed repeated violations of post-release control sanctions. 15899
Unless a releasee's stated prison term was reduced pursuant to 15900
section 5120.032 of the Revised Code, the period of a prison term 15901
that is imposed as a post-release control sanction under this 15902
division shall not exceed nine months, and the maximum cumulative 15903
prison term for all violations under this division shall not 15904
exceed one-half of the stated prison term originally imposed upon 15905
the offender as part of this sentence. If a releasee's stated 15906
prison term was reduced pursuant to section 5120.032 of the 15907
Revised Code, the period of a prison term that is imposed as a 15908
post-release control sanction under this division and the maximum 15909
cumulative prison term for all violations under this division 15910
shall not exceed the period of time not served in prison under the 15911
sentence imposed by the court. The period of a prison term that is 15912
imposed as a post-release control sanction under this division 15913
shall not count as, or be credited toward, the remaining period of 15914
post-release control.15915

       If an offender is imprisoned for a felony committed while 15916
under post-release control supervision and is again released on 15917
post-release control for a period of time determined by division 15918
(F)(4)(d) of this section, the maximum cumulative prison term for 15919
all violations under this division shall not exceed one-half of 15920
the total stated prison terms of the earlier felony, reduced by 15921
any prison term administratively imposed by the parole board or 15922
court, plus one-half of the total stated prison term of the new 15923
felony.15924

       (4) Any period of post-release control shall commence upon an 15925
offender's actual release from prison. If an offender is serving 15926
an indefinite prison term or a life sentence in addition to a 15927
stated prison term, the offender shall serve the period of 15928
post-release control in the following manner:15929

       (a) If a period of post-release control is imposed upon the 15930
offender and if the offender also is subject to a period of parole 15931
under a life sentence or an indefinite sentence, and if the period 15932
of post-release control ends prior to the period of parole, the 15933
offender shall be supervised on parole. The offender shall receive 15934
credit for post-release control supervision during the period of 15935
parole. The offender is not eligible for final release under 15936
section 2967.16 of the Revised Code until the post-release control 15937
period otherwise would have ended.15938

       (b) If a period of post-release control is imposed upon the 15939
offender and if the offender also is subject to a period of parole 15940
under an indefinite sentence, and if the period of parole ends 15941
prior to the period of post-release control, the offender shall be 15942
supervised on post-release control. The requirements of parole 15943
supervision shall be satisfied during the post-release control 15944
period.15945

       (c) If an offender is subject to more than one period of 15946
post-release control, the period of post-release control for all 15947
of the sentences shall be the period of post-release control that 15948
expires last, as determined by the parole board or court. Periods 15949
of post-release control shall be served concurrently and shall not 15950
be imposed consecutively to each other.15951

       (d) The period of post-release control for a releasee who 15952
commits a felony while under post-release control for an earlier 15953
felony shall be the longer of the period of post-release control 15954
specified for the new felony under division (B) or (C) of this 15955
section or the time remaining under the period of post-release 15956
control imposed for the earlier felony as determined by the parole 15957
board or court.15958

       Sec. 2971.03.  (A) Notwithstanding divisions (A), (B), (C),15959
and (F)(D) of section 2929.14, section 2929.02, 2929.03, 2929.06, 15960

divisions (D)(B) and (E)(C) of section 2929.14 of the Revised 15962
Code, that authorizes or requires a specified prison term or a 15963
mandatory prison term for a person who is convicted of or pleads 15964
guilty to a felony or that specifies the manner and place of 15965
service of a prison term or term of imprisonment, the court shall 15966
impose a sentence upon a person who is convicted of or pleads 15967

the offender during or immediately after the commission of the 15995
rape caused serious physical harm to the victim; or if the offense 15996

felony of the first degree if committed by an adult or for an act 18059
that was committed before July 1, 1996, and that would have been 18060
an aggravated felony of the first degree if committed by an adult, 18061
and in no case shall the department grant an emergency release to 18062
any such child pursuant to this section.18063

       (C) An emergency release granted pursuant to this section 18064
shall consist of one of the following:18065

       (1) A supervised release under terms and conditions that the 18066
department believes conducive to law-abiding conduct;18067

       (2) A discharge of the child from the custody and control of 18068
the department if the department is satisfied that the discharge 18069
is consistent with the welfare of the individual and protection of 18070
the public;18071

       (3) An assignment to a family home, a group care facility, or 18072
other place maintained under public or private auspices, within or 18073
without this state, for necessary treatment or rehabilitation, the 18074
costs of which may be paid by the department.18075

       (D) If a child is granted an emergency release pursuant to 18076
this section, the child thereafter shall be considered to have 18077
been institutionalized or institutionalized in a secure facility 18078
for the prescribed minimum period of time under division 18079
(A)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e) of section 2152.16 of the Revised 18080
Code, or divisionsall definite periods of commitment imposed 18081
under division (A) and, (B), (C), or (D) of section 2152.17 of the 18082
Revised Code plus the prescribed minimum period of time imposed 18083
under division (A)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e) of section 2152.16 of 18084
the Revised Code, whichever is applicable. The department shall 18085
retain legal custody of a child so released until it discharges 18086
the child or until its custody is terminated as otherwise provided 18087
by law.18088

       (E)(1) If a child is granted an emergency release so that the 18089
child is released on supervised release or assigned to a family 18090
home, group care facility, or other place for treatment or 18091
rehabilitation, the department shall prepare a written treatment 18092
and rehabilitation plan for the child in accordance with division 18093
(E)(F) of section 2152.22 of the Revised Code, which shall include 18094
the conditions of the child's release or assignment, and shall 18095
send the committing court and the juvenile court of the county in 18096
which the child is placed a copy of the plan and the conditions 18097
that it fixed. The court of the county in which the child is 18098
placed may adopt the conditions as an order of the court and may 18099
add any additional consistent conditions it considers appropriate. 18100
If a child is released on supervised release or is assigned 18101
subject to specified conditions and the court of the county in 18102
which the child is placed has reason to believe that the child's 18103
deportment is not in accordance with any post-release conditions 18104
established by the court in its journal entry, the court of the 18105
county in which the child is placed, in its discretion, may 18106
schedule a time for a hearing on whether the child violated any of 18107
the post-release conditions. If that court conducts a hearing and 18108
determines at the hearing that the child violated any of the 18109
post-release conditions established in its journal entry, the 18110
court, if it determines that the violation of the conditions was a 18111
serious violation, may order the child to be returned to the 18112
department of youth services for institutionalization or, in any 18113
case, may make any other disposition of the child authorized by 18114
law that the court considers proper. If the court of the county in 18115
which the child is placed orders the child to be returned to a 18116
department of youth services institution, the child shall remain 18117
institutionalized for a minimum period of three months.18118

       (2) The department also shall file a written progress report 18119
with the committing court regarding each child granted an 18120
emergency release pursuant to this section at least once every 18121
thirty days unless specifically directed otherwise by the court. 18122
The report shall include the information required of reports 18123
described in division (F)(G) of section 2152.22 of the Revised 18124
Code.18125

       Sec. 5139.43.  (A) The department of youth services shall 18126
operate a felony delinquent care and custody program that shall be 18127
operated in accordance with the formula developed pursuant to 18128
section 5139.41 of the Revised Code, subject to the conditions 18129
specified in this section.18130

       (B)(1) Each juvenile court shall use the moneys disbursed to 18131
it by the department of youth services pursuant to division (B) of 18132
section 5139.41 of the Revised Code in accordance with the 18133
applicable provisions of division (B)(2) of this section and shall 18134
transmit the moneys to the county treasurer for deposit in 18135
accordance with this division. The county treasurer shall create 18136
in the county treasury a fund that shall be known as the felony 18137
delinquent care and custody fund and shall deposit in that fund 18138
the moneys disbursed to the juvenile court pursuant to division 18139
(B) of section 5139.41 of the Revised Code. The county treasurer 18140
also shall deposit into that fund the state subsidy funds granted 18141
to the county pursuant to section 5139.34 of the Revised Code. The 18142
moneys disbursed to the juvenile court pursuant to division (B) of 18143
section 5139.41 of the Revised Code and deposited pursuant to this 18144
division in the felony delinquent care and custody fund shall not 18145
be commingled with any other county funds except state subsidy 18146
funds granted to the county pursuant to section 5139.34 of the 18147
Revised Code; shall not be used for any capital construction 18148
projects; upon an order of the juvenile court and subject to 18149
appropriation by the board of county commissioners, shall be 18150
disbursed to the juvenile court for use in accordance with the 18151
applicable provisions of division (B)(2) of this section; shall 18152
not revert to the county general fund at the end of any fiscal 18153
year; and shall carry over in the felony delinquent care and 18154
custody fund from the end of any fiscal year to the next fiscal 18155
year. The maximum balance carry-over at the end of each respective 18156
fiscal year in the felony delinquent care and custody fund in any 18157
county from funds allocated to the county pursuant to sections 18158
5139.34 and 5139.41 of the Revised Code in the previous fiscal 18159
year shall not exceed an amount to be calculated as provided in 18160
the formula set forth in this division, unless that county has 18161
applied for and been granted an exemption by the director of youth 18162
services. Beginning June 30, 2008, the maximum balance carry-over 18163
at the end of each respective fiscal year shall be determined by 18164
the following formula: for fiscal year 2008, the maximum balance 18165
carry-over shall be one hundred per cent of the allocation for 18166
fiscal year 2007, to be applied in determining the fiscal year 18167
2009 allocation; for fiscal year 2009, it shall be fifty per cent 18168
of the allocation for fiscal year 2008, to be applied in 18169
determining the fiscal year 2010 allocation; for fiscal year 2010, 18170
it shall be twenty-five per cent of the allocation for fiscal year 18171
2009, to be applied in determining the fiscal year 2011 18172
allocation; and for each fiscal year subsequent to fiscal year 18173
2010, it shall be twenty-five per cent of the allocation for the 18174
immediately preceding fiscal year, to be applied in determining 18175
the allocation for the next immediate fiscal year. The department 18176
shall withhold from future payments to a county an amount equal to 18177
any moneys in the felony delinquent care and custody fund of the 18178
county that exceed the total maximum balance carry-over that 18179
applies for that county for the fiscal year in which the payments 18180
are being made and shall reallocate the withheld amount. The 18181
department shall adopt rules for the withholding and reallocation 18182
of moneys disbursed under sections 5139.34 and 5139.41 of the 18183
Revised Code and for the criteria and process for a county to 18184
obtain an exemption from the withholding requirement. The moneys 18185
disbursed to the juvenile court pursuant to division (B) of 18186
section 5139.41 of the Revised Code and deposited pursuant to this 18187
division in the felony delinquent care and custody fund shall be 18188
in addition to, and shall not be used to reduce, any usual annual 18189
increase in county funding that the juvenile court is eligible to 18190
receive or the current level of county funding of the juvenile 18191
court and of any programs or services for delinquent children, 18192
unruly children, or juvenile traffic offenders.18193

       (2)(a) A county and the juvenile court that serves the county 18194
shall use the moneys in its felony delinquent care and custody 18195
fund in accordance with rules that the department of youth 18196
services adopts pursuant to division (D) of section 5139.04 of the 18197
Revised Code and as follows:18198

       (i) The moneys in the fund that represent state subsidy funds 18199
granted to the county pursuant to section 5139.34 of the Revised 18200
Code shall be used to aid in the support of prevention, early 18201
intervention, diversion, treatment, and rehabilitation programs 18202
that are provided for alleged or adjudicated unruly children or 18203
delinquent children or for children who are at risk of becoming 18204
unruly children or delinquent children. The county shall not use 18205
for capital improvements more than fifteen per cent of the moneys 18206
in the fund that represent the applicable annual grant of those 18207
state subsidy funds.18208

       (ii) The moneys in the fund that were disbursed to the 18209
juvenile court pursuant to division (B) of section 5139.41 of the 18210
Revised Code and deposited pursuant to division (B)(1) of this 18211
section in the fund shall be used to provide programs and services 18212
for the training, treatment, or rehabilitation of felony 18213
delinquents that are alternatives to their commitment to the 18214
department, including, but not limited to, community residential 18215
programs, day treatment centers, services within the home, and 18216
electronic monitoring, and shall be used in connection with 18217
training, treatment, rehabilitation, early intervention, or other 18218
programs or services for any delinquent child, unruly child, or 18219
juvenile traffic offender who is under the jurisdiction of the 18220
juvenile court. 18221

        The fund also may be used for prevention, early intervention, 18222
diversion, treatment, and rehabilitation programs that are 18223
provided for alleged or adjudicated unruly children, delinquent 18224
children, or juvenile traffic offenders or for children who are at 18225
risk of becoming unruly children, delinquent children, or juvenile 18226
traffic offenders. Consistent with division (B)(1) of this 18227
section, a county and the juvenile court of a county shall not use 18228
any of those moneys for capital construction projects.18229

       (iii) Moneys in the fund shall not be used to support 18230
programs or services that do not comply with federal juvenile 18231
justice and delinquency prevention core requirements or to support 18232
programs or services that research has shown to be ineffective. 18233
Research-supported, outcome-based programs and services, to the 18234
extent they are available, shall be encouraged.18235

        (iv) The county and the juvenile court that serves the county 18236
may use moneys in the fund to provide out-of-home placement of 18237
children only in detention centers, community rehabilitation 18238
centers, or community corrections facilities approved by the 18239
department pursuant to standards adopted by the department, 18240
licensed by an authorized state agency, or accredited by the 18241
American correctional association or another national organization 18242
recognized by the department.18243

       (b) Each juvenile court shall comply with division (B)(3)(d) 18244
of this section as implemented by the department. If a juvenile 18245
court fails to comply with division (B)(3)(d) of this section, the 18246
department shall not be required to make any disbursements in 18247
accordance with division (C) or (D) of section 5139.41 or division 18248
(C)(2) of section 5139.34 of the Revised Code.18249

       (3) In accordance with rules adopted by the department 18250
pursuant to division (D) of section 5139.04 of the Revised Code, 18251
each juvenile court and the county served by that juvenile court 18252
shall do all of the following that apply:18253

       (a) The juvenile court shall prepare an annual grant 18254
agreement and application for funding that satisfies the 18255
requirements of this section and section 5139.34 of the Revised 18256
Code and that pertains to the use, upon an order of the juvenile 18257
court and subject to appropriation by the board of county 18258
commissioners, of the moneys in its felony delinquent care and 18259
custody fund for specified programs, care, and services as 18260
described in division (B)(2)(a) of this section, shall submit that 18261
agreement and application to the county family and children first 18262
council, the regional family and children first council, or the 18263
local intersystem services to children cluster as described in 18264
sections 121.37 and 121.38 of the Revised Code, whichever is 18265
applicable, and shall file that agreement and application with the 18266
department for its approval. The annual grant agreement and 18267
application for funding shall include a method of ensuring equal 18268
access for minority youth to the programs, care, and services 18269
specified in it.18270

       The department may approve an annual grant agreement and 18271
application for funding only if the juvenile court involved has 18272
complied with the preparation, submission, and filing requirements 18273
described in division (B)(3)(a) of this section. If the juvenile 18274
court complies with those requirements and the department approves 18275
that agreement and application, the juvenile court and the county 18276
served by the juvenile court may expend the state subsidy funds 18277
granted to the county pursuant to section 5139.34 of the Revised 18278
Code only in accordance with division (B)(2)(a) of this section, 18279
the rules pertaining to state subsidy funds that the department 18280
adopts pursuant to division (D) of section 5139.04 of the Revised 18281
Code, and the approved agreement and application.18282

       (b) By the thirty-first day of August of each year, the 18283
juvenile court shall file with the department a report that 18284
contains all of the statistical and other information for each 18285
month of the prior state fiscal year. If the juvenile court fails 18286
to file the report required by division (B)(3)(b) of this section 18287
by the thirty-first day of August of any year, the department 18288
shall not disburse any payment of state subsidy funds to which the 18289
county otherwise is entitled pursuant to section 5139.34 of the 18290
Revised Code and shall not disburse pursuant to division (B) of 18291
section 5139.41 of the Revised Code the applicable allocation 18292
until the juvenile court fully complies with division (B)(3)(b) of 18293
this section.18294

       (c) If the department requires the juvenile court to prepare 18295
monthly statistical reports and to submit the reports on forms 18296
provided by the department, the juvenile court shall file those 18297
reports with the department on the forms so provided. If the 18298
juvenile court fails to prepare and submit those monthly 18299
statistical reports within the department's timelines, the 18300
department shall not disburse any payment of state subsidy funds 18301
to which the county otherwise is entitled pursuant to section 18302
5139.34 of the Revised Code and shall not disburse pursuant to 18303
division (B) of section 5139.41 of the Revised Code the applicable 18304
allocation until the juvenile court fully complies with division 18305
(B)(3)(c) of this section. If the juvenile court fails to prepare 18306
and submit those monthly statistical reports within one hundred 18307
eighty days of the date the department establishes for their 18308
submission, the department shall not disburse any payment of state 18309
subsidy funds to which the county otherwise is entitled pursuant 18310
to section 5139.34 of the Revised Code and shall not disburse 18311
pursuant to division (B) of section 5139.41 of the Revised Code 18312
the applicable allocation, and the state subsidy funds and the 18313
remainder of the applicable allocation shall revert to the 18314
department. If a juvenile court states in a monthly statistical 18315
report that the juvenile court adjudicated within a state fiscal 18316
year five hundred or more children to be delinquent children for 18317
committing acts that would be felonies if committed by adults and 18318
if the department determines that the data in the report may be 18319
inaccurate, the juvenile court shall have an independent auditor 18320
or other qualified entity certify the accuracy of the data on a 18321
date determined by the department.18322

       (d) If the department requires the juvenile court and the 18323
county to participate in a fiscal monitoring program or another 18324
monitoring program that is conducted by the department to ensure 18325
compliance by the juvenile court and the county with division (B) 18326
of this section, the juvenile court and the county shall 18327
participate in the program and fully comply with any guidelines 18328
for the performance of audits adopted by the department pursuant 18329
to that program and all requests made by the department pursuant 18330
to that program for information necessary to reconcile fiscal 18331
accounting. If an audit that is performed pursuant to a fiscal 18332
monitoring program or another monitoring program described in this 18333
division determines that the juvenile court or the county used 18334
moneys in the county's felony delinquent care and custody fund for 18335
expenses that are not authorized under division (B) of this 18336
section, within forty-five days after the department notifies the 18337
county of the unauthorized expenditures, the county either shall 18338
repay the amount of the unauthorized expenditures from the county 18339
general revenue fund to the state's general revenue fund or shall 18340
file a written appeal with the department. If an appeal is timely 18341
filed, the director of the department shall render a decision on 18342
the appeal and shall notify the appellant county or its juvenile 18343
court of that decision within forty-five days after the date that 18344
the appeal is filed. If the director denies an appeal, the 18345
county's fiscal agent shall repay the amount of the unauthorized 18346
expenditures from the county general revenue fund to the state's 18347
general revenue fund within thirty days after receiving the 18348
director's notification of the appeal decision. 18349

       (C) The determination of which county a reduction of the care 18350
and custody allocation will be charged against for a particular 18351
youth shall be made as outlined below for all youths who do not 18352
qualify as public safety beds. The determination of which county a 18353
reduction of the care and custody allocation will be charged 18354
against shall be made as follows until each youth is released: 18355

       (1) In the event of a commitment, the reduction shall be 18356
charged against the committing county. 18357

       (2) In the event of a recommitment, the reduction shall be 18358
charged against the original committing county until the 18359
expiration of the minimum period of institutionalization under the 18360
original order of commitment or until the date on which the youth 18361
is admitted to the department of youth services pursuant to the 18362
order of recommitment, whichever is later. Reductions of the 18363
allocation shall be charged against the county that recommitted 18364
the youth after the minimum expiration date of the original 18365
commitment. 18366

       (3) In the event of a revocation of a release on parole, the 18367
reduction shall be charged against the county that revokes the 18368
youth's parole.18369

       (D) A juvenile court is not precluded by its allocation 18370
amount for the care and custody of felony delinquents from 18371
committing a felony delinquent to the department of youth services 18372
for care and custody in an institution or a community corrections 18373
facility when the juvenile court determines that the commitment is 18374
appropriate.18375

       Sec. 5139.52.  (A) At any time during a child's supervised 18376
release or during the period of a child's judicial release to 18377
department of youth services supervision, if the regional 18378
administrator or the employee of the department assigned to 18379
supervise and assist the child has reasonable grounds to believe 18380
that the child has violated a term or condition of the supervised 18381
release or judicial release, the administrator or employee may 18382
request a court to issue a summons that requires the child to 18383
appear for a hearing to answer charges of the alleged violation. 18384
The summons shall contain a brief statement of the alleged 18385
violation, including the date and place of the violation, and 18386
shall require the child to appear for a hearing before the court 18387
at a specific date, time, and place.18388

       (B)(1) At any time while a child is on supervised release or 18389
during the period of a child's judicial release to department of 18390
youth services supervision, a regional administrator or a designee 18391
of a regional administrator, upon application of the employee of 18392
the department assigned to supervise and assist the child as 18393
described in this division, may issue, or cause to be issued, an 18394
order of apprehension for the arrest of the child for the alleged 18395
violation of a term or condition of the child's supervised release 18396
or judicial release. An application requesting an order of 18397
apprehension shall set forth that, in the good faith judgment of 18398
the employee of the department assigned to supervise and assist 18399
the child making the application, there is reasonable cause to 18400
believe that the child who is on supervised release or judicial 18401
release to department of youth services supervision has violated 18402
or is violating a term or condition of the child's supervised 18403
release or judicial release, shall state the basis for that 18404
belief, and shall request that the child be taken to an 18405
appropriate place of secure detention pending a probable cause 18406
determination. As an alternative to an order of apprehension for 18407
the child, a regional administrator or the employee of the 18408
department assigned to supervise and assist the child may request 18409
a court to issue a warrant for the arrest of the child.18410

       Subject to the provision of prior notice required by division 18411
(D)(1) of this section, if a regional administrator or a designee 18412
of a regional administrator issues, in writing, an order of 18413
apprehension for the arrest of a child, a staff member of the 18414
department of youth services who has been designated pursuant to 18415
division (A)(1) of section 5139.53 of the Revised Code as being 18416
authorized to arrest and who has received the training described 18417
in division (B)(1) of that section, or a peace officer, as defined 18418
in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code, may arrest the child, 18419
without a warrant, and place the child in secure detention in 18420
accordance with this section.18421

       If a child is on supervised release or judicial release to 18422
department of youth services supervision, any peace officer, as 18423
defined in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code, may arrest the 18424
child without a warrant or order of apprehension if the peace 18425
officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the child has 18426
violated or is violating any of the following that has been 18427
prescribed by the release authority or department of youth 18428
services relative to the child:18429

       (a) A condition that prohibits the child's ownership, 18430
possession, or use of a firearm, deadly weapon, ammunition, or 18431
dangerous ordnance, all as defined in section 2923.11 of the 18432
Revised Code;18433

       (b) A condition that prohibits the child from being within a 18434
specified structure or geographic area;18435

       (c) A condition that confines the child to a residence, 18436
facility, or other structure;18437

       (d) A condition that prohibits the child from contacting or 18438
communicating with any specified individual;18439

       (e) A condition that prohibits the child from associating 18440
with a specified individual;18441

       (f) Any other rule, term, or condition governing the conduct 18442
of the child that has been prescribed by the release authority.18443

       (2) Subject to the provision of prior notice required by 18444
division (D)(1) of this section, a staff member of the department 18445
of youth services who is designated by the director pursuant to 18446
division (A)(1) of section 5139.53 of the Revised Code and who has 18447
received the training described in division (B)(1) of that 18448
section, a peace officer, as defined in section 2935.01 of the 18449
Revised Code, or any other officer with the power to arrest may 18450
execute a warrant or order of apprehension issued under division 18451
(B)(1) of this section and take the child into secure custody.18452

       (C) A staff member of the department of youth services who is 18453

       (E) If a child who is on supervised release or who is under a 18505
period of judicial release to department of youth services 18506
supervision is arrested under an order of apprehension, under a 18507

(B)(2), or (C) of this section and taken into secure custody, all 18509
of the following apply:18510

       (1) If no motion to revoke the child's supervised release or 18511
judicial release has been filed within seventy-two hours after the 18512
child is taken into secure custody, the juvenile court, in making 18513
its determinations at a detention hearing as to whether to hold 18514
the child in secure custody up to seventy-two hours so that a 18515
motion to revoke the child's supervised release or judicial 18516
release may be filed, may consider, in addition to all other 18517
evidence and information considered, the circumstances of the 18518
child's arrest and, if the arrest was pursuant to an order of 18519
apprehension, the order and the application for the order.18520

       (2) If no motion to revoke the child's supervised release or 18521
judicial release has been filed within seventy-two hours after the 18522
child is taken into secure custody and if the child has not 18523
otherwise been released prior to the expiration of that 18524
seventy-two-hour period, the child shall be released upon the 18525
expiration of that seventy-two-hour period.18526

       (3) If the person is eighteen, nineteen, or twenty years of 18527
age, the person may be confined in secure detention in the jail of 18528
the county in which the person is taken into custody. If the 18529

       (4) If a motion to revoke the child's supervised release or 18532
judicial release is filed after the child has been taken into 18533
secure custody and the court decides at the detention hearing to 18534
release the child from secure custody, the court may release the 18535
child on the same terms and conditions that are currently in 18536
effect regarding the child's supervised release or judicial 18537
release, pending revocation or subsequent modification.18538

       (F) If a child who is on supervised release is arrested under 18539
an order of apprehension, under a warrant, or without a warrant as 18540
described in division (B)(1), (B)(2), or (C) of this section and 18541
taken into secure custody, and if a motion to revoke the child's 18542
supervised release is filed, the juvenile court of the county in 18543
which the child is placed promptly shall schedule a time for a 18544
hearing on whether the child violated any of the terms and 18545
conditions of the supervised release. If a child is released on 18546
supervised release and the juvenile court of the county in which 18547
the child is placed otherwise has reason to believe that the child 18548
has not complied with the terms and conditions of the supervised 18549
release, the court of the county in which the child is placed, in 18550
its discretion, may schedule a time for a hearing on whether the 18551
child violated any of the terms and conditions of the supervised 18552
release. If the court of the county in which the child is placed 18553
on supervised release conducts a hearing and determines at the 18554
hearing that the child did not violate any term or condition of 18555
the child's supervised release, the child shall be released from 18556
custody, if the child is in custody at that time, and shall 18557
continue on supervised release under the terms and conditions that 18558
were in effect at the time of the child's arrest, subject to 18559
subsequent revocation or modification. If the court of the county 18560
in which the child is placed on supervised release conducts a 18561
hearing and determines at the hearing that the child violated one 18562
or more of the terms and conditions of the child's supervised 18563
release, the court, if it determines that the violation was a 18564
serious violation, may revoke the child's supervised release and 18565
order the child to be returned to the department of youth services 18566
for institutionalization or, in any case, may make any other 18567
disposition of the child authorized by law that the court 18568
considers proper. If the court orders the child to be returned to 18569
a department of youth services institution, the child shall remain 18570
institutionalized for a minimum period of thirty days, the 18571
department shall not reduce the minimum thirty-day period of 18572
institutionalization for any time that the child was held in 18573
secure custody subsequent to the child's arrest and pending the 18574
revocation hearing and the child's return to the department, the 18575
release authority, in its discretion, may require the child to 18576
remain in institutionalization for longer than the minimum 18577
thirty-day period, and the child is not eligible for judicial 18578
release or early release during the minimum thirty-day period of 18579
institutionalization or any period of institutionalization in 18580
excess of the minimum thirty-day period.18581

department, the effectiveness of the programs in the development 18757
and implementation of community corrections programs, the specific 18758
standards adopted and promulgated under division (B)(A)(2) of this 18759
section and their effectiveness in promoting the purposes of the 18760
programs, and the findings of the evaluations conducted under 18761
division (E)(A)(5) of this section. The director of rehabilitation 18762

does not become compliant after a reasonable period of time, the 18783
department shall reduce or eliminate the subsidy granted to that 18784
county, group of counties, or municipal corporation.18785

each county and be based on the difference from fiscal year 2010 18809
and the fiscal year under examination.18810

       (3) The department shall adopt rules that specify the subsidy 18811
amount to be appropriated to court of common pleas probation 18812

and division (A) of section 2929.41 of the Revised Code in this 19232
act, it is the intent of the General Assembly to simultaneously 19233
repeal and revive the amended language in those divisions that was 19234
invalidated and severed by the Ohio Supreme Court's decision in 19235
State v. Foster (2006), 109 Ohio St.3d 1. The amended language in 19236
those divisions is subject to reenactment under the United States 19237
Supreme Court's decision in Oregon v. Ice (2009), 555 U.S. 160, 19238
and the Ohio Supreme Court's decision in State v. Hodge (2010), 19239
___ Ohio St.3d ___, Slip Opinion No. 2010-Ohio-6320 and, although 19240
constitutional under Hodge, supra, that language is not 19241
enforceable until deliberately revived by the General Assembly.19242

       Section 12. Section 1716.99 of the Revised Code is presented 19243
in this act as a composite of the section as amended by both Am. 19244
Sub. H.B. 59 and Sub. S.B. 2 of the 123rd General Assembly. 19245
Section 2301.27 of the Revised Code is presented in this act as a 19246
composite of the section as amended by both Am. Sub. H.B. 490 and 19247
Sub. H.B. 510 of the 124th General Assembly. Section 2929.14 of 19248
the Revised Code is presented in this act as a composite of the 19249
section as amended by both Am. Sub. H.B. 130 and Am. Sub. H.B. 280 19250
of the 127th General Assembly. Section 2929.20 of the Revised Code 19251
is presented in this act as a composite of the section as amended 19252
by both Am. Sub. H.B. 130 and Sub. S.B. 108 of the 127th General 19253
Assembly. Section 2967.193 of the Revised Code is presented in 19254
this act as a composite of the section as amended by both Am. Sub. 19255
S.B. 269 and Am. Sub. H.B. 180 of the 121st General Assembly. The 19256
General Assembly, applying the principle stated in division (B) of 19257
section 1.52 of the Revised Code that amendments are to be 19258
harmonized if reasonably capable of simultaneous operation, finds 19259
that the composites are the resulting versions of the sections in 19260
effect prior to the effective date of the sections as presented in 19261
this act. 19262
