provided in section 2152.121 of the Revised Code, the juvenile	1426

the same degree or a lesser degree of the offense charged, for the	1440
commission of a lesser-included offense, or for the commission of	1441
another offense that is different from the offense charged.	1442

an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult and if the	1444
person is not taken into custody or apprehended for that act until	1445
after the person attains twenty-one years of age, the juvenile	1446
court does not have jurisdiction to hear or determine any portion	1447
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
Revised Code do not apply regarding the act, and the case charging	1450
the person with committing the act shall be a criminal prosecution	1451
commenced and heard in the appropriate court having jurisdiction	1452
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
court having jurisdiction of the offense, and that court has all	1456
the authority and duties in the case that it has in other criminal	1457
cases in that court.	1458

circumstances described in division (C)(5) of section 2152.02 of	1797
the Revised Code or if either of the following applies:	1798

a discretionary transfer under section 2152.10 of the Revised Code	1800
and who previously was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a felony	1801

indicating that the case should be transferred outweigh the	1832
applicable factors under division (E) of this section indicating	1833
that the case should not be transferred. The record shall indicate	1834

act charged.	1856

(4) The child allegedly committed the act charged for hire or	1857

(5) The child had a firearm on or about the child's person or	1859

charged is not a violation of section 2923.12 of the Revised Code,	1861
and the child, during the commission of the act charged, allegedly	1862

delinquent child.	1890

person.	1894

(8) There is sufficient time to rehabilitate the child within	1895

is a delinquent child for committing two or more acts that would	1899
be offenses if committed by an adult, if a motion is made alleging	1900
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
transferred pursuant to division (B) of this section, the juvenile	1905
court, in deciding the motions, shall proceed in the following	1906
manner:	1907

(1) Initially, the court shall decide the motion alleging	1908

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

(I) Upon the transfer of a case under division (A) or (B) of	1946
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
then shall be within the jurisdiction of the court to which it is	1956
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

(iii) The juvenile court shall stay the adult portion of the	2213
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
the juvenile court that imposed a serious youthful offender	2232
dispositional sentence upon a person under section 2152.121 or	2233
2152.13 of the Revised Code to file a motion with that juvenile	2234

shall state that at least one incident of misconduct of that	2244
nature occurred after the person reached fourteen years of age:	2245

(a) The person committed an act that is a violation of the	2246
rules of the institution and that could be charged as any felony	2247
or as a first degree misdemeanor offense of violence if committed	2248
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
Code, and is on parole or aftercare from a department of youth	2256
services facility, or on community control, the director of youth	2257
services, the juvenile court that imposed the serious youthful	2258
offender dispositional sentence on the person, or the probation	2259
department supervising the person may request the prosecuting	2260
attorney of the county in which is located the juvenile court to	2261
file a motion with the juvenile court to invoke the adult portion	2262
of the dispositional sentence. The prosecuting attorney may file a	2263
motion to invoke the adult portion of the dispositional sentence	2264
even if no request is made. The motion shall state that there is	2265

(2) The person has engaged in conduct that creates a	2273
substantial risk to the safety or security of the community or of	2274
the victim.	2275

(C) If the prosecuting attorney declines a request to file a	2276
motion that was made by the department of youth services or the	2277
supervising probation department under division (A) or (B) of this	2278
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
attorney declines a request to file a motion that was made by the	2285

(D) Upon the filing of a motion described in division (A),	2290
(B), or (C) of this section, the juvenile court may hold a hearing	2291
to determine whether to invoke the adult portion of a person's	2292
serious juvenile offender dispositional sentence. The juvenile	2293
court shall not invoke the adult portion of the dispositional	2294
sentence without a hearing. At the hearing the person who is the	2295
subject of the serious youthful offender disposition has the right	2296
to be present, to receive notice of the grounds upon which the	2297
adult sentence portion is sought to be invoked, to be represented	2298
by counsel including counsel appointed under Juvenile Rule 4(A),	2299
to be advised on the procedures and protections set forth in the	2300
Juvenile Rules, and to present evidence on the person's own	2301
behalf, including evidence that the person has a mental illness or	2302
is a mentally retarded person. The person may not waive the right	2303
to counsel. The hearing shall be open to the public. If the person	2304
presents evidence that the person has a mental illness or is a	2305
mentally retarded person, the juvenile court shall consider that	2306
evidence in determining whether to invoke the adult portion of the	2307
serious youthful offender dispositional sentence.	2308

(E)(1) The juvenile court may invoke the adult portion of a	2309
person's serious youthful offender dispositional sentence if the	2310
juvenile court finds all of the following on the record by clear	2311
and convincing evidence:	2312

(a) The person is serving the juvenile portion of a serious	2313
youthful offender dispositional sentence.	2314

(b) The person is at least fourteen years of age and has been	2315
admitted to a department of youth services facility, or criminal	2316

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

Any community control imposed as part of the adult sentence	2349
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

Sec. 2152.17.  (A) Subject to division (D) of this section,	2355
if a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for committing an	2356
act, other than a violation of section 2923.12 of the Revised	2357
Code, that would be a felony if committed by an adult and if the	2358
court determines that, if the child was an adult, the child would	2359
be guilty of a specification of the type set forth in section	2360
2941.141, 2941.144, 2941.145, 2941.146, 2941.1412, 2941.1414, or	2361
2941.1415 of the Revised Code, in addition to any commitment or	2362
other disposition the court imposes for the underlying delinquent	2363
act, all of the following apply:	2364

(1) If the court determines that the child would be guilty of	2365
a specification of the type set forth in section 2941.141 of the	2366
Revised Code, the court may commit the child to the department of	2367
youth services for the specification for a definite period of up	2368
to one year.	2369

(2) If the court determines that the child would be guilty of	2370
a specification of the type set forth in section 2941.145 of the	2371
Revised Code or if the delinquent act is a violation of division	2372
(A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code and the court	2373
determines that the child would be guilty of a specification of	2374
the type set forth in section 2941.1415 of the Revised Code, the	2375
court shall commit the child to the department of youth services	2376
for the specification for a definite period of not less than one	2377
and not more than three years, and the court also shall commit the	2378
child to the department for the underlying delinquent act under	2379
sections 2152.11 to 2152.16 of the Revised Code.	2380

(3) If the court determines that the child would be guilty of	2381
a specification of the type set forth in section 2941.144,	2382
2941.146, or 2941.1412 of the Revised Code or if the delinquent	2383
act is a violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of	2384
the Revised Code and the court determines that the child would be	2385
guilty of a specification of the type set forth in section	2386
2941.1414 of the Revised Code, the court shall commit the child to	2387
the department of youth services for the specification for a	2388
definite period of not less than one and not more than five years,	2389
and the court also shall commit the child to the department for	2390
the underlying delinquent act under sections 2152.11 to 2152.16 of	2391
the Revised Code.	2392

(B) Division(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child	2393
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

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 Code	2412
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
proceedings under sections 2152.51 to 2152.59 of the Revised Code.	2802
The rules shall include provisions for giving notice of any	2803
hearings held under those sections and for staying any proceedings	2804
on the underlying complaint pending the determinations under those	2805
sections.	2806

(C) At a competency-related hearing held under section	2807
2152.53 or 2152.58 of the Revised Code, the child shall be	2808
represented by an attorney. If the child is indigent and cannot	2809
obtain counsel, the court shall appoint an attorney under Chapter	2810
120. of the Revised Code or the Rules of Juvenile Procedure.	2811

Sec. 2152.52.  (A)(1) In any proceeding under this chapter	2812
other than a proceeding alleging that a child is a juvenile	2813
traffic offender, any party or the court may move for a	2814
determination regarding the child's competency to participate in	2815
the proceeding.	2816

(2) In any proceeding under this chapter other than a	2817
proceeding alleging that a child is a juvenile traffic offender,	2818
if the child who is the subject of the proceeding is fourteen	2819
years of age or older and if the child is not otherwise found to	2820
be mentally ill, intellectually disabled, or developmentally	2821
disabled, it is rebuttably presumed that the child does not have a	2822
lack of mental capacity. This presumption applies only in making a	2823
determination as to whether the child has a lack of mental	2824
capacity and shall not be used or applicable for any other	2825
purpose.	2826

(B) The court may find a child incompetent to proceed without	2827
ordering an evaluation of the child's competency or holding a	2828
hearing to determine the child's competency if either of the	2829
following applies:	2830

(1) The prosecuting attorney, the child's attorney, and at	2831
least one of the child's parents, guardians, or custodians agree	2832
to the determination.	2833

(2) The court relies on a prior court determination that the	2834
child was incompetent and could not attain competency even if the	2835
child were to participate in competency attainment services.	2836

Sec. 2152.53.  (A) Within fifteen business days after a	2837
motion is made under section 2152.52 of the Revised Code, the	2838
court shall do one of the following:	2839

(1) Make a determination of incompetency under division (B)	2840
of section 2152.52 of the Revised Code;	2841

(2) Determine, without holding a hearing, whether there is a	2842
reasonable basis to conduct a competency evaluation;	2843

(3) Hold a hearing to determine whether there is a reasonable	2844
basis to conduct a competency evaluation.	2845

(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

Sec. 2152.54.  (A) An evaluation of a child who does not	2852

(B) An evaluation of a child who appears to the court to be a	2864
person who is at least moderately intellectually disabled shall be	2865
made by a psychiatrist or licensed clinical psychologist who	2866
satisfies the criteria of division (I)(1) of section 5122.01 of	2867
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
described in division (A)(1) or (2) of this section and the	2872
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
division (B) of this section. Within two business days after the	2879
appointment of the new evaluator, the original evaluator shall	2880
deliver to the new evaluator all information relating to the child	2881
obtained during the original evaluation.	2882

Sec. 2152.55.  (A) If a court orders a child to receive an	2883
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
reports conducted in prior delinquent child proceedings. The court	2897
may include an order for all relevant private and public records	2898
related to the child in the journal entry ordering the evaluation.	2899

(C) Within ten business days after the court appoints an	2900
evaluator, the prosecuting attorney shall deliver to the evaluator	2901
copies of relevant police reports and other background information	2902
that pertain to the child and that are in the prosecuting	2903
attorney's possession, except for any information that the	2904
prosecuting attorney determines would, if released, interfere with	2905
the effective prosecution of any person or create a substantial	2906
risk of harm to any person.	2907

(D) Within ten business days after the court appoints an	2908
evaluator, the child's attorney shall deliver to the evaluator	2909
copies of relevant police reports and other background information	2910
that pertain to the child and that are in the attorney's	2911
possession and that is not protected by attorney-client privilege.	2912

Sec. 2152.56.  (A) Upon completing an evaluation ordered	2913
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

(2) Understand the adversarial nature of the proceedings,	2930
including the role of the judge, defense counsel, prosecuting	2931
attorney, guardian ad litem or court-appointed special assistant,	2932
and witnesses;	2933

(3) Assist in the child's defense and communicate with	2934
counsel;	2935

(4) Comprehend and appreciate the consequences that may be	2936
imposed or result from the proceedings.	2937

(C) A competency assessment report shall include the	2938
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

(D) If the evaluator concludes that the child could likely	2954
attain competency within the periods set forth in division (D)(2)	2955
of section 2152.59 of the Revised Code, the competency assessment	2956
report shall include both of the following:	2957

(1) A recommendation as to the least restrictive setting for	2958
child competency attainment services that is consistent with the	2959
child's ability to attain competency and the safety of both the	2960
child and the community;	2961

(2) A list of the providers of child competency attainment	2962
services known to the evaluator that are located most closely to	2963
the child's current residence.	2964

(E) If the evaluator is unable, within the maximum allowable	2965
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
section 2152.53 of the Revised Code shall submit a competency	2975
assessment report to the court as soon as possible but not more	2976
than forty-five calendar days after the order appointing the	2977
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

(D) The expenses of obtaining an evaluation ordered by the	2991
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

(2) An additional evaluation allowed under division (E)(1) of	3004
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
shall not be required to pay costs exceeding that which the county	3008
would normally pay for a competency evaluation conducted by a	3009
provider with which the court or county has contracted to conduct	3010
competency evaluations.	3011

Sec. 2152.58.  (A) Not less than fifteen nor more than thirty	3012
business days after receiving an evaluation under division (A) of	3013
section 2152.57 of the Revised Code or not less than fifteen nor	3014
more than thirty business days after receiving an additional	3015
evaluation under division (E) of that section, the court shall	3016
hold a hearing to determine the child's competency to participate	3017
in the proceeding.	3018

(B) At a hearing held under this section, a competency	3019
assessment report may be admitted into evidence by stipulation. If	3020
the court contacts the evaluator to obtain clarification of the	3021
report contents, the court shall promptly inform all parties and	3022
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
competency assessment reports admitted as evidence. The court may	3026
consider additional evidence, including the court's own	3027
observations of the child's conduct and demeanor in the courtroom.	3028

(D)(1) Except as otherwise provided in this division, the	3029
court shall make a written determination as to the child's	3030
competency or incompetency based on a preponderance of the	3031
evidence within fifteen business days after completion of the	3032
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
the Revised Code the court determines that the child is not	3054
competent and cannot attain competency within the period of time	3055
applicable under division (D)(2) of this section, the court shall	3056
dismiss the charges without prejudice, except that the court may	3057
delay dismissal for up to ninety calendar days and do either of	3058
the following:	3059

(2) Assign court staff to refer the child or the child's	3064
family to the local family and children first council or an agency	3065
funded by the department of mental health or department of	3066
developmental disabilities or otherwise secure services to reduce	3067
the potential that the child would engage in behavior that could	3068
result in delinquent child or other criminal charges.	3069

(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	3073
competency, the court may order the child to participate in	3074
services specifically designed to help the child develop	3075
competency at county expense. The court shall name a reliable	3076
provider to deliver the competency attainment services and shall	3077
order the child's parent, guardian, or custodian to contact that	3078
provider by a specified date to arrange for services.	3079

(D) The competency attainment services provided to a child	3080
shall be based on a competency attainment plan described in	3081
division (E)(2) of this section and approved by the court.	3082
Services are subject to the following conditions and time periods	3083
measured from the date the court approves the plan:	3084

(1) Services shall be provided in the least restrictive	3085
setting that is consistent with the child's ability to attain	3086
competency and the safety of both the child and the community. If	3087
the child has been released on temporary or interim orders and	3088
refuses or fails to cooperate with the service provider, the court	3089
may reassess the orders and amend them to require a more	3090
appropriate setting.	3091

(2) No child shall be required to participate in competency	3092
attainment services for longer than is required for the child to	3093

services that are provided in a residential setting that is	3107
operated solely or in part for the purpose of providing competency	3108

services for a period exceeding forty-five calendar days if the	3110

committed by an adult, three months if the child is charged with	3112
an act that would be a felony of the third, fourth, or fifth	3113
degree if committed by an adult, six months if the child is	3114
charged with an act that would be a felony of the first or second	3115
degree if committed by an adult, or one year if the child is	3116
charged with an act that would be aggravated murder or murder if	3117
committed by an adult.	3118

(c) If a child is ordered into a residential, detention, or	3119
other secured setting for reasons other than to participate in	3120
competency attainment services and is also ordered to participate	3121
in competency attainment services concurrently, the child shall	3122
participate in the competency attainment services for not longer	3123
than the relevant period set forth in division (D)(2)(a) of this	3124
section.	3125

(d) If a child is ordered to participate in competency	3126
attainment services that require the child to live for some but	3127

competency attainment services, the child shall participate in the	3130
competency attainment services for not longer than the relevant	3131

purpose of calculating a time period under division (D)(2)(d) of	3133
this section, two days of participation in a nonresidential	3134
setting shall equal one day of participation in a residential	3135
setting.	3136

(3) A child who receives competency attainment services in a	3137
residential setting that is operated solely or partly for the	3138
purpose of providing competency attainment services is in	3139
detention for purposes of section 2921.34 and division (B) of	3140
section 2152.18 of the Revised Code during the time that the child	3141

court a plan for the child to attain competency. The court shall	3153
provide copies of the plan to the prosecuting attorney, the	3154

making the determination;	3166

of this section to the child's parents, guardian, or custodian	3194
unless the court finds that doing so is not in the best interest	3195
of the child.	3196

(H)(1) Within fifteen business days after receiving a report	3197
under division (F) of this section, the court may hold a hearing	3198
to determine if a new order is necessary. To assist in making a	3199
determination under division (H) of this section, the court may	3200

required period of participation expires, the child shall continue	3203
to participate in competency attainment services.	3204

(2) If after a hearing held under division (H)(1) of this	3205
section the court determines that the child is not making progress	3206
toward competency or is so uncooperative that attainment services	3207

by division (B)(1) of section 2743.56 of the Revised Code. An	3997
award of reparations shall not be made to a claimant if the	3998
criminally injurious conduct upon which the claimant bases a claim	3999

unless it is determined that good cause existed for the failure to	4002
report the conduct within the seventy-two-hour period.	4003

(B)(1) The attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a	4004
judge of the court of claims shall not make or order an award of	4005
reparations to a claimant if any of the following apply:	4006

(b) Except as provided in division (B)(2) of this section,	4010
both of the following apply:	4011

(i) The victim was a passenger in a motor vehicle and knew or	4012

reparations.	4037

(D) The attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a	4038
judge of the court of claims shall reduce an award of reparations	4039

payable to a claimant to the extent that the economic loss upon	4041
which the claim is based is recouped from other persons, including	4042
collateral sources. If an award is reduced or a claim is denied	4043
because of the expected recoupment of all or part of the economic	4044
loss of the claimant from a collateral source, the amount of the	4045
award or the denial of the claim shall be conditioned upon the	4046
claimant's economic loss being recouped by the collateral source.	4047

recoupment that it is determined the claimant will not receive	4054

which the claim is based from any other person or entity,	4057
including a collateral source, the attorney general may recover	4058

award that represents the economic loss for which the claimant	4060
received the recoupment from the other person or entity.	4061

(E)(1) Except as otherwise provided in division (E)(2) of	4062
this section, the attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a	4063
judge of the court of claims shall not make an award to a claimant	4064

claim.	4069

(b) The claimant was convicted of a felony within ten years	4070
prior to the criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the	4071
claim or is convicted of a felony during the pendency of the	4072
claim.	4073

(c) It is proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the	4074
victim or the claimant engaged, within ten years prior to the	4075
criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the claim or during	4076
the pendency of the claim, in an offense of violence, a violation	4077
of section 2925.03 of the Revised Code, or any substantially	4078
similar offense that also would constitute a felony under the laws	4079
of this state, another state, or the United States.	4080

(d) The claimant was convicted of a violation of section	4081
2919.22 or 2919.25 of the Revised Code, or of any state law or	4082
municipal ordinance substantially similar to either section,	4083
within ten years prior to the criminally injurious conduct that	4084
gave rise to the claim or during the pendency of the claim.	4085

(e) It is proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the	4086
victim at the time of the criminally injurious conduct that gave	4087
rise to the claim engaged in conduct that was a felony violation	4088
of section 2925.11 of the Revised Code or engaged in any	4089
substantially similar conduct that would constitute a felony under	4090
the laws of this state, another state, or the United States.	4091

(2) The attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a	4092
judge of the court of claims may make an award to a minor	4093
dependent of a deceased victim for dependent's economic loss or	4094
for counseling pursuant to division (F)(2) of section 2743.51 of	4095
the Revised Code if the minor dependent is not ineligible under	4096
division (E)(1) of this section due to the minor dependent's	4097
criminal history and if the victim was not killed while engaging	4098
in illegal conduct that contributed to the criminally injurious	4099
conduct that gave rise to the claim. For purposes of this section,	4100
the use of illegal drugs by the deceased victim shall not be	4101
deemed to have contributed to the criminally injurious conduct	4102
that gave rise to the claim.	4103

(F) In determining whether to make an award of reparations	4104
pursuant to this section, the attorney general or panel of	4105
commissioners shall consider whether there was contributory	4106
misconduct by the victim or the claimant. The attorney general, a	4107
panel of commissioners, or a judge of the court of claims shall	4108
reduce an award of reparations or deny a claim for an award of	4109
reparations to the extent it is determined to be reasonable	4110
because of the contributory misconduct of the claimant or the	4111
victim.	4112

When the attorney general decides whether a claim should be	4113
denied because of an allegation of contributory misconduct, the	4114
burden of proof on the issue of that alleged contributory	4115
misconduct shall be upon the claimant, if either of the following	4116
apply:	4117

(1) The victim was convicted of a felony more than ten years	4118
prior to the criminally injurious conduct that is the subject of	4119
the claim or has a record of felony arrests under the laws of this	4120
state, another state, or the United States.	4121

an ongoing course of criminal conduct within five years or less of	4123
the criminally injurious conduct that is the subject of the claim.	4124

(G) The attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a	4125
judge of the court of claims shall not make an award of	4126
reparations to a claimant if the criminally injurious conduct that	4127
caused the injury or death that is the subject of the claim	4128
occurred to a victim who was an adult and while the victim, after	4129
being convicted of or pleading guilty to an offense, was serving a	4130
sentence of imprisonment in any detention facility, as defined in	4131
section 2921.01 of the Revised Code.	4132

(H) If a claimant unreasonably fails to present a claim	4133
timely to a source of benefits or advantages that would have been	4134
a collateral source and that would have reimbursed the claimant	4135
for all or a portion of a particular expense, the attorney	4136
general, a panel of commissioners, or a judge of the court of	4137
claims may reduce an award of reparations or deny a claim for an	4138
award of reparations to the extent that it is reasonable to do so.	4139

(I) Reparations payable to a victim and to all other	4140
claimants sustaining economic loss because of injury to or the	4141
death of that victim shall not exceed fifty thousand dollars in	4142
the aggregate. If the attorney general, a panel of commissioners,	4143
or a judge of the court of claims reduces an award under division	4144
(F) of this section, the maximum aggregate amount of reparations	4145
payable under this division shall be reduced proportionately to	4146

offenses for the purpose of determining the value as required by	6911
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

all of the offenses in the series of two or more offenses.	6939

(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

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

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

(E) Without limitation on the evidence that may be used to	6981
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

(2) When the property involved is a security or commodity	6987
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

file a motion with the sentencing court specifying any retirement	8066

option in the alternative retirement plan, under a participant	8077
account, as defined in section 148.01 of the Revised Code, or	8078
under any other type of benefit, other than a survivorship	8079

prior to the expiration of thirty days after the offender receives	8100
the notice; that, if a hearing is requested, the court will	8101

any specified retirement system, any specified provider under an	8103
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
hearing by the offender, that there is good cause for the	8115
requested order not to be issued; and that, if the requested order	8116
is issued, any retirement system, any provider under an	8117
alternative retirement plan, and any deferred compensation program	8118
specified in the motion will be required to withhold the amount	8119
required as restitution from payments to the offender.	8120

(ii) In any case in which a sentencing court is required to	8121

or, if more than one is specified in the motion, the applicable	8134
combination of these, of the date, time, and place of the hearing.	8135
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

there is good cause for the order not to be issued, the court	8145
shall order the specified retirement system, the specified	8146
provider under the alternative retirement plan, or the specified	8147
deferred compensation program, or, if more than one is specified	8148
in the motion, the applicable combination of these, to withhold	8149

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
contributions pursuant to Chapter 145., 148., 742., 3307., 3309.,	8163
or 5505. of the Revised Code, and to continue the withholding for	8164
that purpose, in accordance with the order, out of each payment to	8165

or (ii) of this section shall be effected in the same manner as	8182

employees retirement system, the Ohio police and fire pension	8189
fund, the state teachers retirement system, the school employees	8190
retirement system, the state highway patrol retirement system, the	8191
provider under an alternative retirement plan, any municipal	8192
corporation retirement system in this state, and the deferred	8193

following:	8214

(1) With another person or persons, plan or aid in planning	8215
the commission of any of the specified offenses;	8216

(2) Agree with another person or persons that one or more of	8217
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

(H)(1) No person shall be convicted of conspiracy upon the	8249
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
eighteen months, or both, when the offense that is the object of	8293
the conspiracy is a violation of any provision of Chapter 3734. of	8294
the Revised Code, other than section 3734.18 of the Revised Code,	8295
that relates to hazardous wastes;	8296

(4) A misdemeanor of the first degree, when the most serious	8297
offense that is the object of the conspiracy is a felony of the	8298
fifth degree.	8299

(K) This section does not define a separate conspiracy	8300
offense or penalty where conspiracy is defined as an offense by	8301
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
state necessary to constitute the conspiracy;	8307

(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
to engage in a pattern of corrupt activity is subject to divisions	8313
(B)(2) and (3) of section 2923.32, division (A) of section	8314
2981.04, and division (D) of section 2981.06 of the Revised Code.	8315

(2) If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to	8316
conspiracy and if the most serious offense that is the object of	8317
the conspiracy is a felony drug trafficking, manufacturing,	8318

driver's or commercial driver's license or permit is suspended	9893
pursuant to this division, the offender, at any time after the	9894
expiration of two years from the day on which the offender's	9895
sentence was imposed or from the day on which the offender finally	9896

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, except	11366
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

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

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

from custody on a bond or personal recognizance.	11396

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

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

mandatory prison term imposed in relation to the offense. In no	11677
case shall an offender who once has been sentenced to a mandatory	11678
term of local incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1) of this	11679
section for a fourth degree felony OVI offense be sentenced to	11680
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

(a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall	11700
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
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation	11729
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

section or in division (D)(6) of section 2919.25 of the Revised	11761
Code and except in relation to an offense for which a sentence of	11762
death or life imprisonment is to be imposed, if the court imposing	11763
a sentence upon an offender for a felony elects or is required to	11764
impose a prison term on the offender pursuant to this chapter, the	11765
court shall impose a definite prison term that shall be one of the	11766

the offender and protect the public from future crime, because the	11979
applicable factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code	11980

two or more offenses committed at the same time or as part of the	12024
same act or event shall be considered one offense, and that one	12025
offense shall be the offense with the greatest penalty.	12026

(d) A sentence imposed under division (D)(B)(2)(a) or (b) of	12027
this section shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20,	12028

Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. The offender	12030

one of the prison terms prescribed in section 2929.14 of the	12184
Revised Code for felonies of the same degree as the violation.	12185

section, if a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender	12187
pursuant to division (D)(B)(1)(a) of this section for having a	12188
firearm on or about the offender's person or under the offender's	12189
control while committing a felony, if a mandatory prison term is	12190
imposed upon an offender pursuant to division (D)(B)(1)(c) of this	12191
section for committing a felony specified in that division by	12192

to any other mandatory prison term imposed under either division	12196
or under division (D)(B)(1)(d) of this section, consecutively to	12197

imposed consecutively to any other mandatory prison term imposed	12207
under that division or under division (D)(B)(1)(a) or (c) of this	12208
section, consecutively to and prior to any prison term imposed for	12209
the underlying felony under division (A), (D)(B)(2), or (D)(B)(3)	12210
of this section or any other section of the Revised Code, and	12211
consecutively to any other prison term or mandatory prison term	12212
previously or subsequently imposed upon the offender.	12213

(c) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender	12214
pursuant to division (D)(B)(1)(f) of this section, the offender	12215
shall serve the mandatory prison term so imposed consecutively to	12216
and prior to any prison term imposed for the underlying felony	12217
under division (A), (D)(B)(2), or (D)(B)(3) of this section or any	12218
other section of the Revised Code, and consecutively to any other	12219
prison term or mandatory prison term previously or subsequently	12220
imposed upon the offender.	12221

(2) If an offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or	12229
other residential detention facility violates section 2917.02,	12230
2917.03, 2921.34, or 2921.35 of the Revised Code or division	12231
(A)(1) or (2) of section 2921.34 of the Revised Code, if an	12232
offender who is under detention at a detention facility commits a	12233
felony violation of section 2923.131 of the Revised Code, or if an	12234
offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or other residential	12235

the offender shall serve that prison term consecutively to any	12249
other prison term or mandatory prison term previously or	12250
subsequently imposed upon the offender.	12251

(4) If multiple prison terms are imposed on an offender for	12252
convictions of multiple offenses, the court may require the	12253
offender to serve the prison terms consecutively if the court	12254
finds that the consecutive service is necessary to protect the	12255
public from future crime or to punish the offender and that	12256
consecutive sentences are not disproportionate to the seriousness	12257
of the offender's conduct and to the danger the offender poses to	12258
the public, and if the court also finds any of the following:	12259

(a) The offender committed one or more of the multiple	12260
offenses while the offender was awaiting trial or sentencing, was	12261
under a sanction imposed pursuant to section 2929.16, 2929.17, or	12262
2929.18 of the Revised Code, or was under post-release control for	12263
a prior offense.	12264

(b) At least two of the multiple offenses were committed as	12265
part of one or more courses of conduct, and the harm caused by two	12266
or more of the multiple offenses so committed was so great or	12267
unusual that no single prison term for any of the offenses	12268
committed as part of any of the courses of conduct adequately	12269
reflects the seriousness of the offender's conduct.	12270

(c) The offender's history of criminal conduct demonstrates	12271
that consecutive sentences are necessary to protect the public	12272
from future crime by the offender.If multiple prison terms are	12273
imposed on an offender for convictions of multiple offenses, the	12274
court may require the offender to serve the prison terms	12275
consecutively if the court finds that the consecutive service is	12276
necessary to protect the public from future crime or to punish the	12277
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

eligible for the placement.	12479

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

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

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

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

(4) If an assessment completed pursuant to division (A)(3) of	12665
this section indicates that the offender is addicted to drugs or	12666
alcohol, the court may include in any community control sanction	12667
imposed for a violation of section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04,	12668
2925.05, 2925.06, 2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or	12669
2925.37 of the Revised Code a requirement that the offender	12670
participate in a treatment and recovery support services program	12671
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

(a) A longer time under the same sanction if the total time	12679
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
of the Revised Code.	12685

(2) The prison term, if any, imposed upon a violator pursuant	12686
to this division shall be within the range of prison terms	12687
available for the offense for which the sanction that was violated	12688
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
imposes a condition of release under a community control sanction	12706
that requires the offender to submit to random drug testing, the	12707
department of probation or the adult parole authority that has	12708
general control and supervision of the offender under division	12709
(A)(2)(a) of this section may cause the offender to submit to	12710
random drug testing performed by a laboratory or entity that has	12711
entered into a contract with any of the governmental entities or	12712
officers authorized to enter into a contract with that laboratory	12713
or entity under section 341.26, 753.33, or 5120.63 of the Revised	12714
Code.	12715

(2) If no laboratory or entity described in division (D)(1)	12716
of this section has entered into a contract as specified in that	12717
division, the department of probation or the adult parole	12718
authority that has general control and supervision of the offender	12719
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
shall perform the random drug tests under division (D)(1) of this	12726
section in accordance with the applicable standards that are	12727
included in the terms of that contract. A public laboratory shall	12728
perform the random drug tests under division (D)(2) of this	12729
section in accordance with the standards set forth in the policies	12730
and procedures established by the department of rehabilitation and	12731
correction pursuant to section 5120.63 of the Revised Code. An	12732
offender who is required under division (A)(1) of this section to	12733
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
(A)(2)(a) of this section.	12745

Sec. 2929.19.  (A) The court shall hold a sentencing hearing	12746
before imposing a sentence under this chapter upon an offender who	12747
was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a felony and before	12748
resentencing an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to	12749
a felony and whose case was remanded pursuant to section 2953.07	12750
or 2953.08 of the Revised Code. At the hearing, the offender, the	12751
prosecuting attorney, the victim or the victim's representative in	12752
accordance with section 2930.14 of the Revised Code, and, with the	12753
approval of the court, any other person may present information	12754
relevant to the imposition of sentence in the case. The court	12755
shall inform the offender of the verdict of the jury or finding of	12756
the court and ask the offender whether the offender has anything	12757
to say as to why sentence should not be imposed upon the offender.	12758

(B)(1) At the sentencing hearing, the court, before imposing	12759
sentence, shall consider the record, any information presented at	12760
the hearing by any person pursuant to division (A) of this	12761
section, and, if one was prepared, the presentence investigation	12762
report made pursuant to section 2951.03 of the Revised Code or	12763
Criminal Rule 32.2, and any victim impact statement made pursuant	12764
to section 2947.051 of the Revised Code.	12765

(2) The court shall impose a sentence and shall make a	12766
finding that gives its reasons for selecting the sentence imposed	12767
in any of the following circumstances:	12768

(a) Unless the offense is a violent sex offense or designated	12769
homicide, assault, or kidnapping offense for which the court is	12770
required to impose sentence pursuant to division (G) of section	12771
2929.14 of the Revised Code, if it imposes a prison term for a	12772
felony of the fourth or fifth degree or for a felony drug offense	12773
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised	12774
Code and that is specified as being subject to division (B) of	12775
section 2929.13 of the Revised Code for purposes of sentencing,	12776
its reasons for imposing the prison term, based upon the	12777
overriding purposes and principles of felony sentencing set forth	12778
in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code, and any factors listed in	12779
divisions (B)(1)(a) to (i) of section 2929.13 of the Revised Code	12780
that it found to apply relative to the offender.	12781

(b) If it does not impose a prison term for a felony of the	12782
first or second degree or for a felony drug offense that is a	12783
violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and	12784
for which a presumption in favor of a prison term is specified as	12785
being applicable, its reasons for not imposing the prison term and	12786
for overriding the presumption, based upon the overriding purposes	12787
and principles of felony sentencing set forth in section 2929.11	12788
of the Revised Code, and the basis of the findings it made under	12789
divisions (D)(1) and (2) of section 2929.13 of the Revised Code.	12790

(c) If it imposes consecutive sentences under section 2929.14	12791
of the Revised Code, its reasons for imposing the consecutive	12792

(d) If the sentence is for one offense and it imposes a	12794
prison term for the offense that is the maximum prison term	12795
allowed for that offense by division (A) of section 2929.14 of the	12796
Revised Code or section 2929.142 of the Revised Code, its reasons	12797
for imposing the maximum prison term;	12798

(e) If the sentence is for two or more offenses arising out	12799

of the highest degree by division (A) of section 2929.14 of the	12802
Revised Code or section 2929.142 of the Revised Code, its reasons	12803
for imposing the maximum prison term.	12804

(3) Subject to division (B)(4)(3) of this section, if the	12805
sentencing court determines at the sentencing hearing that a	12806
prison term is necessary or required, the court shall do all of	12807
the following:	12808

(a) Impose a stated prison term and, if the court imposes a	12809
mandatory prison term, notify the offender that the prison term is	12810
a mandatory prison term;	12811

(b) In addition to any other information, include in the	12812
sentencing entry the name and section reference to the offense or	12813
offenses, the sentence or sentences imposed and whether the	12814

for a felony of the third degree that is not a felony sex offense	12825
and in the commission of which the offender caused or threatened	12826
to cause physical harm to a person. If a court imposes a sentence	12827
including a prison term of a type described in division	12828
(B)(3)(2)(c) of this section on or after July 11, 2006, the	12829
failure of a court to notify the offender pursuant to division	12830
(B)(3)(2)(c) of this section that the offender will be supervised	12831
under section 2967.28 of the Revised Code after the offender	12832
leaves prison or to include in the judgment of conviction entered	12833
on the journal a statement to that effect does not negate, limit,	12834
or otherwise affect the mandatory period of supervision that is	12835
required for the offender under division (B) of section 2967.28 of	12836
the Revised Code. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if,	12837
prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a	12838
prison term of a type described in division (B)(3)(2)(c) of this	12839
section and failed to notify the offender pursuant to division	12840
(B)(3)(2)(c) of this section regarding post-release control or to	12841
include in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal or in	12842
the sentence a statement regarding post-release control.	12843

(d) Notify the offender that the offender may be supervised	12844
under section 2967.28 of the Revised Code after the offender	12845
leaves prison if the offender is being sentenced for a felony of	12846
the third, fourth, or fifth degree that is not subject to division	12847
(B)(3)(2)(c) of this section. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code	12848
applies if, prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence	12849
including a prison term of a type described in division	12850
(B)(3)(2)(d) of this section and failed to notify the offender	12851
pursuant to division (B)(3)(2)(d) of this section regarding	12852
post-release control or to include in the judgment of conviction	12853
entered on the journal or in the sentence a statement regarding	12854
post-release control.	12855

(e) Notify the offender that, if a period of supervision is	12856
imposed following the offender's release from prison, as described	12857
in division (B)(3)(2)(c) or (d) of this section, and if the	12858
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
for a violation of that supervision or a condition of post-release	12868
control imposed under division (B) of section 2967.131 of the	12869
Revised Code or to include in the judgment of conviction entered	12870
on the journal a statement to that effect does not negate, limit,	12871
or otherwise affect the authority of the parole board to so impose	12872
a prison term for a violation of that nature if, pursuant to	12873
division (D)(1) of section 2967.28 of the Revised Code, the parole	12874
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
imposed a sentence including a prison term and failed to notify	12878
the offender pursuant to division (B)(3)(2)(e) of this section	12879
regarding the possibility of the parole board imposing a prison	12880
term for a violation of supervision or a condition of post-release	12881
control.	12882

(f) Require that the offender not ingest or be injected with	12883
a drug of abuse and submit to random drug testing as provided in	12884
section 341.26, 753.33, or 5120.63 of the Revised Code, whichever	12885
is applicable to the offender who is serving a prison term, and	12886
require that the results of the drug test administered under any	12887
of those sections indicate that the offender did not ingest or was	12888
not injected with a drug of abuse.	12889

(g) Include in the offender's sentence a statement notifying	12890
the offender of the information described in division (F)(3) of	12891
section 2929.14 of the Revised Code regarding earned credits under	12892
section 2967.193 of the Revised Code.	12893

(4)(3)(a) The court shall include in the offender's sentence	12894
a statement that the offender is a tier III sex	12895
offender/child-victim offender, and the court shall comply with	12896
the requirements of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code if any of	12897
the following apply:	12898

(i) The offender is being sentenced for a violent sex offense	12899
or designated homicide, assault, or kidnapping offense that the	12900
offender committed on or after January 1, 1997, and the offender	12901
is adjudicated a sexually violent predator in relation to that	12902
offense.	12903

(ii) The offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented	12904
offense that the offender committed on or after January 1, 1997,	12905

the Revised Code.	12920

(vii) The offender is being sentenced under division	12921
(B)(3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code	12922
for an offense described in those divisions committed on or after	12923
January 1, 2008.	12924

(b) Additionally, if any criterion set forth in divisions	12925
(B)(4)(3)(a)(i) to (vii) of this section is satisfied, in the	12926
circumstances described in division (G)(E) of section 2929.14 of	12927
the Revised Code, the court shall impose sentence on the offender	12928
as described in that division.	12929

(5)(4) If the sentencing court determines at the sentencing	12930
hearing that a community control sanction should be imposed and	12931
the court is not prohibited from imposing a community control	12932
sanction, the court shall impose a community control sanction. The	12933
court shall notify the offender that, if the conditions of the	12934
sanction are violated, if the offender commits a violation of any	12935

it shall make a finding that gives its reasons for its	13015
recommendation or disapproval.	13016

to that effect, at any time before the offender is released from	13078

(2) If the court prepares and issues a correction to a	13091
judgment of conviction as described in division (B)(1) of this	13092

upon the journal of the entry nunc pro tunc before the offender is	13102
released from imprisonment under the term shall be considered, and	13103
shall have the same effect, as if the court at the time of	13104

at the hearing by video conferencing equipment if available and	13124
compatible. An appearance by video conferencing equipment pursuant	13125
to this division has the same force and effect as if the offender	13126
were physically present at the hearing. At the hearing, the	13127
offender and the prosecuting attorney may make a statement as to	13128
whether the court should issue a correction to the judgment of	13129

(H) If the court grants a hearing on a motion for judicial	13270
release under this section, the eligible offender shall attend the	13271

of the journal entry containing the order, the head of the state	13273
correctional institution in which the eligible offender is	13274

2930.16 of the Revised Code.	13294

(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

14316

(1) "Concurrent supervision offender" means any offender who	14317
has been sentenced to community control for one or more	14318
misdemeanor violations or has been placed under a community	14319
control sanction pursuant to section 2929.16, 2929.17, 2929.18, or	14320
2929.20 of the Revised Code and who is simultaneously subject to	14321
supervision by any of the following:	14322

(a) Two or more municipal courts or county courts in this	14323
state;	14324

(b) Two or more courts of common pleas in this state;

14325

(c) One or more courts of common pleas in this state and one	14326
or more municipal courts or county courts in this state.	14327

"Concurrent supervision offender" does not include a parolee	14328
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
sentence and shall not be supervised by any other court.	14335

(2) In the case of a concurrent supervision offender subject	14336
to supervision by two or more municipal or county courts in the	14337
same county, the municipal or county court in the territorial	14338
jurisdiction in which the offender resides shall supervise the	14339
offender. In the case of a concurrent supervision offender subject	14340
to supervision by a municipal court or county court and a court of	14341
common pleas for two or more equal possible sentences, the	14342
municipal or county court shall supervise the offender. In the	14343
case of a concurrent supervision offender subject to supervision	14344
by two or more courts of common pleas in separate counties in this	14345
state, the court that lies within the same territorial	14346
jurisdiction in which the offender resides shall supervise the	14347
offender.	14348

(3) Separate courts within the same county may enter into an	14349
agreement or adopt local rules of procedure specifying, generally,	14350
that concurrent supervision offenders will be supervised in a	14351
manner other than that provided for in divisions (B)(1) and (2) of	14352
this section.	14353

(4)(a) The judges of the various courts of this state having	14354
jurisdiction over a concurrent supervision offender may agree by	14355
journal entry to transfer jurisdiction over a concurrent	14356
supervision offender from one court to another court in any manner	14357
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
proceed to sentence the offender according to law.	14369

(b) If the judges of the various courts of this state having	14370
authority to supervise a concurrent supervision offender cannot	14371
reach agreement with respect to the supervision of the offender,	14372
the offender may be subject to concurrent supervision in the	14373
interest of justice upon the courts' consideration of the	14374
provisions set forth in division (C) of this section.	14375

(C) In determining whether a court maintains authority to	14376
supervise an offender or transfers authority to supervise the	14377
offender pursuant to division (B)(3) or (4) of this section, the	14378
court shall consider all of the following:	14379

(1) The safety of the community;

14380

(2) The risk that the offender might reoffend;

14381

(3) The nature of the offenses committed by the offender;

14382

(4) The likelihood that the offender will remain in the	14383
jurisdiction;	14384

(5) The ability of the offender to travel to and from the	14385
offender's residence and place of employment or school to the	14386
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
any other court, shall set a payment schedule consistent with the	14396
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
courts, or as otherwise agreed by the sentencing courts. Financial	14400
obligations include financial sanctions imposed pursuant to	14401
sections 2929.18 and 2929.28 of the Revised Code, court costs, and	14402
any other financial order or fee imposed by a sentencing court. A	14403
supervision fee may be charged only by the agency providing	14404
supervision of the case.	14405

(E) Unless the local residential sanction is suspended, the	14406
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
2929.18 and 2929.28 of the Revised Code.	14416

(F) The adult parole authority and one or more courts may	14417
enter into an agreement whereby a releasee or parolee who is	14418
simultaneously under the supervision of the adult parole authority	14419
and the court or courts is supervised exclusively by either the	14420
authority or a court.	14421

criminal offense, including but not limited to a violation of	14423

the Revised Code, and the court has reason to believe that drug or	14425
alcohol usage by the offender was a factor leading to the	14426
offender's criminal offense with which the offender is charged or	14427
that, at the time of committing that offense, the offender had a	14428
mental illness or was a person with intellectual disability and	14429
that the mental illness or status as a person with intellectual	14430
disability was a factor leading to the offender's criminal	14431
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
was a factor leading to the criminal offense with which the	14441
offender is charged. The request also shall include a waiver of	14442
the defendant's right to a speedy trial, the preliminary hearing,	14443
the time period within which the grand jury may consider an	14444
indictment against the offender, and arraignment, unless the	14445
hearing, indictment, or arraignment has already occurred. The	14446
court may reject an offender's request without a hearing. If the	14447
court elects to consider an offender's request, the court shall	14448
conduct a hearing to determine whether the offender is eligible	14449
under this section for intervention in lieu of conviction and	14450
shall stay all criminal proceedings pending the outcome of the	14451
hearing. If the court schedules a hearing, the court shall order	14452
an assessment of the offender for the purpose of determining the	14453
offender's eligibility for intervention in lieu of conviction and	14454
recommending an appropriate intervention plan.	14455

If the offender alleges that drug or alcohol usage by the	14456
offender was a factor leading to the criminal offense with which	14457
the offender is charged, the court may order that the offender be	14458
assessed by a program certified pursuant to section 3793.06 of the	14459
Revised Code or a properly credentialed professional for the	14460
purpose of determining the offender's eligibility for intervention	14461
in lieu of conviction and recommending an appropriate intervention	14462
plan. The program or the properly credentialed professional shall	14463
provide a written assessment of the offender to the court.	14464

(2) The victim notification provisions of division (C) of	14465
section 2930.08 of the Revised Code apply in relation to any	14466
hearing held under division (A)(1) of this section.	14467

(B) An offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of	14468

(B)(2)(b) of section 2929.13 of the Revised Code or with a	14479
misdemeanor.	14480

term, a mandatory term of local incarceration, or a mandatory term	14489
of imprisonment in a jail.	14490

(3) The offender is not charged with a violation of section	14491
2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, or 2925.06 of the Revised Code, is not	14492

or the offender is charged with a violation of that section that	14500
is a felony of the fourth degree and the prosecutor in the case	14501
has recommended that the offender be classified as being eligible	14502
for intervention in lieu of conviction under this section.	14503

(5) TheIf an offender alleges that drug or alcohol usage by	14504
the offender was a factor leading to the criminal offense with	14505
which the offender is charged, the court has ordered that the	14506
offender has beenbe assessed by an appropriately licensed	14507
provider, certified facility, or licensed and credentialed	14508
professional, including, but not limited to, a program licensed by	14509
the department of alcohol and drug addiction services pursuant to	14510
section 3793.11 of the Revised Code, a program certified by that	14511
department pursuant to section 3793.06 of the Revised Code, a	14512
public or private hospital, the United States department of	14513
veterans affairs, another appropriate agency of the government of	14514
the United States, or a licensed physician, psychiatrist,	14515
psychologist, independent social worker, professional counselor,	14516
or chemical dependency counseloror a properly credentialed	14517
professional for the purpose of determining the offender's	14518
eligibility for intervention in lieu of conviction and	14519
recommending an appropriate intervention plan, the offender has	14520
been assessed by a program of that nature or a properly	14521
credentialed professional in accordance with the court's order,	14522
and the program or properly credentialed professional has filed	14523
the written assessment of the offender with the court.	14524

(5) If an offender alleges that, at the time of committing	14525
the criminal offense with which the offender is charged, the	14526
offender had a mental illness or was a person with intellectual	14527
disability and that the mental illness or status as a person with	14528
intellectual disability was a factor leading to that offense, the	14529
offender has been assessed by a psychiatrist, psychologist,	14530
independent social worker, or professional clinical counselor for	14531
the purpose of determining the offender's eligibility for	14532
intervention in lieu of conviction and recommending an appropriate	14533
intervention plan.	14534

(6) The offender's drug orusage, alcohol usage, mental	14535
illness, or intellectual disability, whichever is applicable, was	14536
a factor leading to the criminal offense with which the offender	14537
is charged, intervention in lieu of conviction would not demean	14538
the seriousness of the offense, and intervention would	14539
substantially reduce the likelihood of any future criminal	14540
activity.	14541

(7) The alleged victim of the offense was not sixty-five	14542
years of age or older, permanently and totally disabled, under	14543
thirteen years of age, or a peace officer engaged in the officer's	14544
official duties at the time of the alleged offense.	14545

(8) If the offender is charged with a violation of section	14546
2925.24 of the Revised Code, the alleged violation did not result	14547
in physical harm to any person, and the offender previously has	14548
not been treated for drug abuse.	14549

(9) The offender is willing to comply with all terms and	14550
conditions imposed by the court pursuant to division (D) of this	14551
section.	14552

(C) At the conclusion of a hearing held pursuant to division	14553
(A) of this section, the court shall enter its determination as to	14554
whether the offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of	14555
conviction and as to whether to grant the offender's request. If	14556
the court finds under division (B) of this section that the	14557
offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction and	14558
grants the offender's request, the court shall accept the	14559
offender's plea of guilty and waiver of the defendant's right to a	14560
speedy trial, the preliminary hearing, the time period within	14561
which the grand jury may consider an indictment against the	14562
offender, and arraignment, unless the hearing, indictment, or	14563
arraignment has already occurred. In addition, the court then may	14564
stay all criminal proceedings and order the offender to comply	14565
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

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

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

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.

2929.14 of the Revised Code.	14752

(6) The sentence consisted of an additional prison term of	14753
ten years imposed pursuant to division (D)(3)(b) of section	14754
2929.14 of the Revised Code.	14755

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

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

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
court designates a representative of the court to serve as a	14927
member, the director of budget and management designates a	14928
representative of the office of budget and management to serve as	14929
a member, or the state public defender designates a representative	14930

designation.	14936

The chief justice of the supreme court or the representative	14937
of the supreme court appointed by the chief justice shall serve as	14938
chairperson of the committee. The committee shall meet within two	14939

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
under division (I)(2) of this section, each member shall be	14953
reimbursed out of the moneys so appropriated that then are	14954
available for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the	14955
performance of official duties as a committee member.	14956

(2) The state criminal sentencing commission periodically	14957
shall provide to the felony sentence appeal cost oversight	14958
committee all data the commission collects pursuant to division	14959
(A)(5) of section 181.25 of the Revised Code. Upon receipt of the	14960
data from the state criminal sentencing commission, the felony	14961
sentence appeal cost oversight committee periodically shall review	14962
the data; determine whether any money has been appropriated to the	14963
judiciary budget administered by the supreme court specifically	14964
for the purpose of providing state financial assistance to	14965
counties in accordance with this division for the increase in	14966
expenses the counties experience as a result of the felony	14967
sentence appeal provisions set forth in this section or as a	14968
result of a postconviction relief proceeding brought under	14969
division (A)(2) of section 2953.21 of the Revised Code or an	14970
appeal of a judgment in that proceeding; if it determines that any	14971
money has been so appropriated, determine the total amount of	14972
moneys that have been so appropriated specifically for that	14973
purpose and that then are available for that purpose; and develop	14974
a recommended method of distributing those moneys to the counties.	14975
The committee shall send a copy of its recommendation to the	14976
supreme court. Upon receipt of the committee's recommendation, the	14977
supreme court shall distribute to the counties, based upon that	14978
recommendation, the moneys that have been so appropriated	14979
specifically for the purpose of providing state financial	14980
assistance to counties under this division and that then are	14981
available for that purpose.	14982

section for a certificate of achievement and employability no	15059
earlier than one year prior to the date scheduled for the release	15060
of the prisoner from department custody and no later than the date	15061
of release of the prisoner.	15062

(B)(1) Any prisoner who has been released from a state	15063

specified in division (B)(2) of this section and in accordance	15068
with division (D) of this section for a certificate of achievement	15069
and employability.	15070

(2) An eligible prisoner may apply to the adult parole	15071
authority under division (B)(1) of this section for a certificate	15072
of achievement and employability at any time while the prisoner is	15073
under supervision on parole or under a post-release control	15074

(C)(1) An eligible prisoner may apply to the department of	15076
rehabilitation and correction or to the adult parole authority at	15077
a time specified in division (A) or (B) of this section, whichever	15078

that grants the prisoner relief from one or more mandatory civil	15080
impacts that would affect a potential job within a field in which	15081
the prisoner trained as part of the prisoner's in-prison	15082
vocational program. The prisoner shall specify the mandatory civil	15083
impacts from which the prisoner is requesting relief under the	15084

agency of the filing of the application, provide the licensing	15089
agency with a copy of the application and all evidence that the	15090

application was filed at a time specified in division (B) of this	15102

(C)(3) of this section, the department or authority shall issue	15106
the prisoner a certificate of achievement and employability that	15107

of section 2961.01 and in division (B) of section 2961.02 of the	15113
Revised Code shall not be affected by any certificate of	15114
achievement and employability issued under this section. No	15115
certificate of achievement and employability issued to a prisoner	15116
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

cognitive or behavioral improvement programs that a prisoner may	15122
complete to satisfy the criteria described in divisions (A)(1)(a)	15123
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
annually inspect each licensed halfway house, licensed reentry	15252

it is in compliance with the licensure standards.	15254

petition the sentencing court for the release from prison of any	15314
offender confined in a state correctional institution under a	15315
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
becomes eligible as described in division (C) of this section. The	15325
director's submission of a petition for release under this section	15326
constitutes a recommendation by the director that the court	15327
strongly consider release of the offender consistent with the	15328
purposes and principles of sentencing set forth in sections	15329
2929.11 and 2929.13 of the Revised Code.	15330

(C)(1) An offender serving a stated prison term of one year	15331
or more and who has commenced service of that stated prison term	15332
becomes eligible for release from prison under this section only	15333
as described in this division. An offender serving a stated prison	15334
term that includes a disqualifying prison term is not eligible for	15335
release from prison under this section. An offender serving a	15336
stated prison term that consists solely of one or more restricting	15337
prison terms is not eligible for release under this section. An	15338
offender serving a stated prison term of one year or more that	15339
includes one or more restricting prison terms and one or more	15340
eligible prison terms becomes eligible for release under this	15341
section after having fully served each restricting prison term. An	15342
offender serving a stated prison term that consists solely of one	15343
or more eligible prison terms becomes eligible for release under	15344
this section upon the offender's commencement of service of that	15345
stated prison term. After an offender becomes eligible for release	15346
under this section, the director of rehabilitation and correction	15347
may petition for the release of the offender under division (C)(2)	15348
of this section no earlier than ninety days before the offender	15349
has served the portion of the offender's stated prison term	15350
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
this section or in section 2929.13, 2929.14, or 2967.13 of the	15485

in division (A)(2) of this section, a person confined in a state	15487
correctional institution may provisionally earn one day or five	15488
days of credit as a deduction from, based on the category set	15489

which the person is included, toward satisfaction of the person's	15491
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
program or activity listed in this division, the department of	15510
rehabilitation and correction shall deduct one day from the date	15511
on which the prisoner's stated prison term will expiredetermine	15512
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
program or activity completion, and the criteria for denying or	15544
withdrawing previously provisionally earned credit as a result of	15545
a violation of prison rules.	15546

institution to whom any of the following applies shall be awarded	15548

(D) This division does not apply to a determination of	15568
whether a person confined in a state correctional institution may	15569
earn any days of credit under division (A) of this section for	15570
successful completion of a second program or activity. The	15571

section, if the offender is serving a stated prison term that	15595
includes a prison term imposed for a sexually oriented offense	15596
that the offender committed prior to the effective date of this	15597
amendment.	15598

(3) The offender may earn one day of credit under division	15599
(A) of this section, except as provided in division (C) of this	15600
section, if the offender is serving a stated prison term that	15601
includes a prison term imposed for a felony other than carrying a	15602
concealed weapon an essential element of which is any conduct or	15603
failure to act expressly involving any deadly weapon or dangerous	15604
ordnance.	15605

(4) Except as provided in division (C) of this section, if	15606
the most serious offense for which the offender is confined is a	15607
felony of the first or second degree and divisions (D)(1), (2),	15608
and (3) of this section do not apply to the offender, the offender	15609

offender may earn five days of credit under division (A) of this	15622
section if the offender committed that offense on or after the	15623
effective date of this amendment.	15624

(E) If a court imposes a sentence including a prison term on	15625

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
written feedback of the Ohio prosecuting attorneys association,	15638
the Ohio judicial conference, the Ohio public defender, the Ohio	15639
association of criminal defense lawyers, and other organizations	15640
and associations that have an interest in the operation of the	15641
corrections system and the earned credits program under this	15642
section as part of its evaluation of the program and in	15643
determining whether to modify the program.	15644

(G) As used in this section, "sexually oriented offense" has	15645

(1) "Monitored time" means the monitored time sanction	15648
specified in section 2929.17 of the Revised Code.	15649

(2) "Deadly weapon" and "dangerous ordnance" have the same	15650
meanings as in section 2923.11 of the Revised Code.	15651

(3) "Felony sex offense" means a violation of a section	15652
contained in Chapter 2907. of the Revised Code that is a felony.	15653

(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
section 2929.19 of the Revised Code of this requirement or to	15665
include in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal a	15666
statement that the offender's sentence includes this requirement	15667
does not negate, limit, or otherwise affect the mandatory period	15668
of supervision that is required for the offender under this	15669
division. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, prior	15670
to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a prison	15671
term of a type described in this division and failed to notify the	15672
offender pursuant to division (B)(3)(2)(c) of section 2929.19 of	15673
the Revised Code regarding post-release control or to include in	15674
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
shall be of one of the following periods:	15681

(1) For a felony of the first degree or for a felony sex	15682
offense, five years;	15683

(2) For a felony of the second degree that is not a felony	15684
sex offense, three years;	15685

(3) For a felony of the third degree that is not a felony sex	15686
offense and in the commission of which the offender caused or	15687
threatened physical harm to a person, three years.	15688

(C) Any sentence to a prison term for a felony of the third,	15689
fourth, or fifth degree that is not subject to division (B)(1) or	15690
(3) of this section shall include a requirement that the offender	15691
be subject to a period of post-release control of up to three	15692
years after the offender's release from imprisonment, if the	15693
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

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

threat of force, when the victim was less than ten years of age,	15989
when the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded	15990
guilty to either rape committed in violation of that division or a	15991

classify each child within its custody according to the degree of	18015
offense that the act for which the child is serving the period of	18016

department then shall scrutinize individual children for emergency	18018
release, based upon their degree of offense, in accordance with	18019

under division (B)(1) of this section have been so released, then	18039
all children who are not serving a period of institutionalization	18040
for an act that would have been aggravated murder, murder, or a	18041
felony of the first or second degree if committed by an adult or	18042
for an act that was committed before July 1, 1996, and that would	18043
have been an aggravated felony of the first or second degree if	18044
committed by an adult may be considered.	18045

(c) When all children in the categories described in	18046
divisions (B)(2)(a) and (b) of this section have been scrutinized	18047
and all children in those categories who have been designated for	18048

release any child who is serving a term of institutionalization	18057
for an act that would have been aggravated murder, murder, or a	18058
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

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

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
designated by the director of youth services pursuant to division	18454
(A)(1) of section 5139.53 of the Revised Code and who has received	18455
the training described in division (B)(1) of that section, a peace	18456
officer, as defined in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code, or any	18457
other officer with the power to arrest may arrest without a	18458
warrant or order of apprehension and take into secure custody a	18459
child in the legal custody of the department, if the staff member,	18460
peace officer, or other officer has reasonable cause to believe	18461
that the child who is on supervised release or judicial release to	18462
department of youth services supervision has violated or is	18463
violating a term or condition of the supervised release or	18464
judicial release in any of the following manners:	18465

(1) The child committed or is committing an offense or	18466
delinquent act in the presence of the staff member, peace officer,	18467
or other officer.	18468

(2) There is probable cause to believe that the child	18469
violated a term or condition of supervised release or judicial	18470
release and that the child is leaving or is about to leave the	18471
state.	18472

(3) The child failed to appear before the release authority	18473
pursuant to a summons for a modification or failed to appear for a	18474
scheduled court hearing.	18475

(4) The arrest of the child is necessary to prevent physical	18476
harm to another person or to the child.	18477

(D)(1) Except as otherwise provided in this division, prior	18478
to arresting a child under this section, either in relation to an	18479

the department of youth services shall provide notice of the	18482
anticipated arrest to each county, municipal, or township law	18483
enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the place at which the	18484

member or employee is not required to provide the notice described	18486
in this division prior to making an arrest in any emergency	18487
situation or circumstance described under division (C) of this	18488
section.	18489

(2) If a child is arrested under this section and if it is	18490

to department of youth services supervision, a juvenile court,	18492
local juvenile detention facility, or jail shall notify the	18493
appropriate department of youth services regional office that the	18494
child has been arrested and shall provide to the regional office	18495
or to an employee of the department of youth services a copy of	18496
the arrest information pertaining to the arrest.	18497

(3) Nothing in this section limits the power to make an	18498
arrest that is granted to specified peace officers under section	18499
2935.03 of the Revised Code, to any person under section 2935.04	18500
of the Revised Code, or to any other specified category of persons	18501
by any other provision of the Revised Code, or the power to take a	18502
child into custody that is granted pursuant to section 2151.31 of	18503
the Revised Code.	18504

(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
warrant, or without a warrant as described in division (B)(1),	18508
(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
person is under eighteen years of age, the person may be confined	18530
in secure detention in the nearest juvenile detention facility.	18531

(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

This division does not apply regarding a child who is under a	18582
period of judicial release to department of youth services	18583

a program of subsidies for eligible municipal corporations,	18702
counties, and groups of counties for misdemeanor offenders for the	18703
development, implementation, and operation of community	18704
corrections programs. Department expenditures for administration	18705
of both programs of subsidies shall not exceed ten per cent of the	18706
moneys appropriated for each of the purposes of this division.	18707

(B)(2) Adopt and promulgate rules, under Chapter 119. of the	18708
Revised Code, providing standards for community corrections	18709
programs. The standards adopted by the department shall specify	18710
the class of offender whose degree of felony, whose community	18711
control sanction revocation history, or whose risk level as	18712
assessed by the single validated risk assessment tool described in	18713
section 5120.114 of the Revised Code, make the offender suitable	18714
for participation in community corrections programs. The rules	18715
shall make the level of subsidy provided to every county or group	18716
of counties contingent upon the number of offenders participating	18717
in community corrections programs each fiscal year who satisfy the	18718
participation suitability standards established by the department.	18719
The standards shall be designed to improve the quality and	18720
efficiency of the programs and to reduce the number of persons	18721
committed to state correctional institutions and to county,	18722
multicounty, municipal, municipal-county, or multicounty-municipal	18723
jails or workhouses for offenses for which community control	18724

planning boards established under section 5149.34 of the Revised	18731
Code and joint county corrections planning boards established	18732
under section 5149.35 of the Revised Code in, an annual review of	18733
the standards to measure their effectiveness in promoting the	18734
purposes specified in this division and shall amend or rescind any	18735
existing rule providing a standard or adopt and promulgate	18736

Revised Code, if the review indicates that the standards fail to	18738
promote the purposes.	18739

(C)(3) Accept and use any funds, goods, or services from the	18740
federal government or any other public or private source for the	18741
support of the subsidy programs established under division (A) of	18742

measuring their effectiveness;	18752

(F)(6) Prepare an annual report evaluating the subsidy	18753
programs established under division (A)(1) of this section. The	18754

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
and correction shall review and certify the accuracy of the report	18763
and provide copies of it, upon request, to members of the general	18764
assembly.	18765

(G)(7) Provide training or assistance, upon the request of a	18766
local corrections planning board or a joint county corrections	18767
planning board, to any local unit of government, subject to	18768
available resources of the department.	18769

or municipal corporation found to be noncompliant with the	18779
requirements described in division (B)(1) of this section a	18780
reasonable period of time to come into compliance. If the	18781
noncompliant county, group of counties, or municipal corporation	18782
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

Sec. 5149.311.  (A) The department of rehabilitation and	18786
correction shall establish and administer the probation	18787
improvement grant and the probation incentive grant for court of	18788
common pleas probation departments that supervise felony	18789
offenders.	18790

(B)(1) The probation improvement grant shall provide funding	18791
to court of common pleas probation departments to adopt policies	18792
and practices based on the latest research on how to reduce the	18793
number of felony offenders on probation supervision who violate	18794
the conditions of their supervision.	18795

(2) The department shall adopt rules for the distribution of	18796
the probation improvement grant, including the formula for the	18797
allocation of the subsidy based on the number of felony offenders	18798
placed on probation annually in each jurisdiction.	18799

(C)(1) The probation incentive grant shall provide a	18800
performance-based level of funding to court of common pleas	18801
probation departments that are successful in reducing the number	18802
of felony offenders on probation supervision whose terms of	18803
supervision are revoked.	18804

(2) The department shall calculate annually any cost savings	18805
realized by the state from a reduction in the percentage of people	18806
who are incarcerated because their terms of supervised probation	18807
were revoked. The cost savings estimate shall be calculated for	18808
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
departments that successfully reduce the percentage of people on	18813
probation who are incarcerated because their terms of supervision	18814
are revoked.	18815

improvement grant and the probation incentive grant:	18817

(1) In order to be eligible for the probation improvement	18818
grant and the probation incentive grant, courts of common pleas	18819
must satisfy all requirements under sections 2301.27 and 2301.30	18820
of the Revised Code and, except for sentencing decisions made by a	18821
court when use of the risk assessment tool is discretionary, must	18822

(3) The department shall evaluate or provide for the	18830
evaluation of the policies, practices, and programs the court of	18831
common pleas probation departments utilize with the programs of	18832
subsidies established under this section and establish means of	18833

include recommendations of the Department for improving the safety	19206
of the Department's institutions as supported by the sanctioning	19207

(B) Upon completion of the review described in division (A)	19218
of this section, the Department shall send a report to the	19219
President and Minority Leader of the Senate and to the Speaker and	19220

the Department.	19224

Section 11. In amending division (E)(4) of section 2929.14	19231
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
