law enforcement agency or employee of a law enforcement agency	134
shall not disclose a name or other information contained in a	135
routine factual report that is highly likely to identify an	136
alleged delinquent child or arrestee who is also an abused child	137
and who is under eighteen years of age at the time the report is	138
created. If the agency or employee does not know whether the	139
alleged delinquent child or arrestee is an abused child, the	140
agency or employee shall attempt to determine whether or not the	141
alleged delinquent child or arrestee is an abused child and shall	142
not disclose the name or other information before making the	143
determination.	144

(2) No person to whom information described in division	145
(B)(1) of this section is disclosed, and no employer of that	146
person, shall further disclose that information except as provided	147

(6) Any other person pursuant to a court order.

172

Sec. 2151.414.  (A)(1) Upon the filing of a motion pursuant	173
to section 2151.413 of the Revised Code for permanent custody of a	174
child, the court shall schedule a hearing and give notice of the	175
filing of the motion and of the hearing, in accordance with	176
section 2151.29 of the Revised Code, to all parties to the action	177
and to the child's guardian ad litem. The notice also shall	178
contain a full explanation that the granting of permanent custody	179
permanently divests the parents of their parental rights, a full	180
explanation of their right to be represented by counsel and to	181
have counsel appointed pursuant to Chapter 120. of the Revised	182
Code if they are indigent, and the name and telephone number of	183
the court employee designated by the court pursuant to section	184
2151.314 of the Revised Code to arrange for the prompt appointment	185
of counsel for indigent persons.	186

The court shall conduct a hearing in accordance with section	187
2151.35 of the Revised Code to determine if it is in the best	188
interest of the child to permanently terminate parental rights and	189
grant permanent custody to the agency that filed the motion. The	190
adjudication that the child is an abused, neglected, or dependent	191
child and any dispositional order that has been issued in the case	192
under section 2151.353 of the Revised Code pursuant to the	193
adjudication shall not be readjudicated at the hearing and shall	194
not be affected by a denial of the motion for permanent custody.	195

(2) The court shall hold the hearing scheduled pursuant to	196
division (A)(1) of this section not later than one hundred twenty	197
days after the agency files the motion for permanent custody,	198
except that, for good cause shown, the court may continue the	199
hearing for a reasonable period of time beyond the	200
one-hundred-twenty-day deadline. The court shall issue an order	201
that grants, denies, or otherwise disposes of the motion for	202
permanent custody, and journalize the order, not later than two	203
hundred days after the agency files the motion.	204

If a motion is made under division (D)(2) of section 2151.413	205
of the Revised Code and no dispositional hearing has been held in	206
the case, the court may hear the motion in the dispositional	207
hearing required by division (B) of section 2151.35 of the Revised	208
Code. If the court issues an order pursuant to section 2151.353 of	209
the Revised Code granting permanent custody of the child to the	210
agency, the court shall immediately dismiss the motion made under	211
division (D)(2) of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code.	212

The failure of the court to comply with the time periods set	213
forth in division (A)(2) of this section does not affect the	214
authority of the court to issue any order under this chapter and	215
does not provide any basis for attacking the jurisdiction of the	216
court or the validity of any order of the court.	217

(B)(1) Except as provided in division (B)(2) of this section,	218
the court may grant permanent custody of a child to a movant if	219
the court determines at the hearing held pursuant to division (A)	220
of this section, by clear and convincing evidence, that it is in	221
the best interest of the child to grant permanent custody of the	222
child to the agency that filed the motion for permanent custody	223
and that any of the following apply:	224

(a) The child is not abandoned or orphaned, has not been in	225
the temporary custody of one or more public children services	226
agencies or private child placing agencies for twelve or more	227
months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period, or has not been	228
in the temporary custody of one or more public children services	229
agencies or private child placing agencies for twelve or more	230
months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period if, as described	231
in division (D)(1) of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code, the	232
child was previously in the temporary custody of an equivalent	233
agency in another state, and the child cannot be placed with	234
either of the child's parents within a reasonable time or should	235
not be placed with the child's parents.	236

(b) The child is abandoned.

237

(c) The child is orphaned, and there are no relatives of the	238
child who are able to take permanent custody.	239

(d) The child has been in the temporary custody of one or	240
more public children services agencies or private child placing	241
agencies for twelve or more months of a consecutive	242
twenty-two-month period, or the child has been in the temporary	243
custody of one or more public children services agencies or	244
private child placing agencies for twelve or more months of a	245
consecutive twenty-two-month period and, as described in division	246
(D)(1) of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code, the child was	247
previously in the temporary custody of an equivalent agency in	248
another state.	249

For the purposes of division (B)(1) of this section, a child	250
shall be considered to have entered the temporary custody of an	251
agency on the earlier of the date the child is adjudicated	252
pursuant to section 2151.28 of the Revised Code or the date that	253
is sixty days after the removal of the child from home.	254

(2) With respect to a motion made pursuant to division (D)(2)	255
of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code, the court shall grant	256
permanent custody of the child to the movant if the court	257
determines in accordance with division (E) of this section that	258
the child cannot be placed with one of the child's parents within	259
a reasonable time or should not be placed with either parent and	260
determines in accordance with division (D) of this section that	261
permanent custody is in the child's best interest.	262

(C) In making the determinations required by this section or	263
division (A)(4) of section 2151.353 of the Revised Code, a court	264
shall not consider the effect the granting of permanent custody to	265
the agency would have upon any parent of the child. A written	266
report of the guardian ad litem of the child shall be submitted to	267
the court prior to or at the time of the hearing held pursuant to	268
division (A) of this section or section 2151.35 of the Revised	269
Code but shall not be submitted under oath.	270

If the court grants permanent custody of a child to a movant	271
under this division, the court, upon the request of any party,	272
shall file a written opinion setting forth its findings of fact	273
and conclusions of law in relation to the proceeding. The court	274
shall not deny an agency's motion for permanent custody solely	275
because the agency failed to implement any particular aspect of	276
the child's case plan.	277

(D)(1) In determining the best interest of a child at a	278
hearing held pursuant to division (A) of this section or for the	279
purposes of division (A)(4) or (5) of section 2151.353 or division	280
(C) of section 2151.415 of the Revised Code, the court shall	281
consider all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the	282
following:	283

(a) The interaction and interrelationship of the child with	284
the child's parents, siblings, relatives, foster caregivers and	285
out-of-home providers, and any other person who may significantly	286
affect the child;	287

(b) The wishes of the child, as expressed directly by the	288
child or through the child's guardian ad litem, with due regard	289
for the maturity of the child;	290

(c) The custodial history of the child, including whether the	291
child has been in the temporary custody of one or more public	292
children services agencies or private child placing agencies for	293
twelve or more months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period, or	294
the child has been in the temporary custody of one or more public	295
children services agencies or private child placing agencies for	296
twelve or more months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period	297
and, as described in division (D)(1) of section 2151.413 of the	298
Revised Code, the child was previously in the temporary custody of	299
an equivalent agency in another state;	300

(d) The child's need for a legally secure permanent placement	301
and whether that type of placement can be achieved without a grant	302
of permanent custody to the agency;	303

(e) Whether any of the factors in divisions (E)(7) to (11) of	304
this section apply in relation to the parents and child.	305

For the purposes of division (D)(1) of this section, a child	306
shall be considered to have entered the temporary custody of an	307
agency on the earlier of the date the child is adjudicated	308
pursuant to section 2151.28 of the Revised Code or the date that	309
is sixty days after the removal of the child from home.	310

(2) If all of the following apply, permanent custody is in	311
the best interest of the child, and the court shall commit the	312
child to the permanent custody of a public children services	313
agency or private child placing agency:	314

(a) The court determines by clear and convincing evidence	315
that one or more of the factors in division (E) of this section	316
exist and the child cannot be placed with one of the child's	317
parents within a reasonable time or should not be placed with	318
either parent.	319

(b) The child has been in an agency's custody for two years	320
or longer, and no longer qualifies for temporary custody pursuant	321
to division (D) of section 2151.415 of the Revised Code.	322

(c) The child does not meet the requirements for a planned	323
permanent living arrangement pursuant to division (A)(5) of	324
section 2151.353 of the Revised Code.	325

(d) Prior to the dispositional hearing, no relative or other	326
interested person has filed, or has been identified in, a motion	327
for legal custody of the child.	328

(E) In determining at a hearing held pursuant to division (A)	329
of this section or for the purposes of division (A)(4) of section	330
2151.353 of the Revised Code whether a child cannot be placed with	331
either parent within a reasonable period of time or should not be	332
placed with the parents, the court shall consider all relevant	333
evidence. If the court determines, by clear and convincing	334
evidence, at a hearing held pursuant to division (A) of this	335
section or for the purposes of division (A)(4) of section 2151.353	336
of the Revised Code that one or more of the following exist as to	337
each of the child's parents, the court shall enter a finding that	338
the child cannot be placed with either parent within a reasonable	339
time or should not be placed with either parent:	340

(1) Following the placement of the child outside the child's	341
home and notwithstanding reasonable case planning and diligent	342
efforts by the agency to assist the parents to remedy the problems	343
that initially caused the child to be placed outside the home, the	344
parent has failed continuously and repeatedly to substantially	345
remedy the conditions causing the child to be placed outside the	346
child's home. In determining whether the parents have	347
substantially remedied those conditions, the court shall consider	348
parental utilization of medical, psychiatric, psychological, and	349
other social and rehabilitative services and material resources	350
that were made available to the parents for the purpose of	351
changing parental conduct to allow them to resume and maintain	352
parental duties.	353

(2) Chronic mental illness, chronic emotional illness, mental	354
retardation, physical disability, or chemical dependency of the	355
parent that is so severe that it makes the parent unable to	356
provide an adequate permanent home for the child at the present	357
time and, as anticipated, within one year after the court holds	358
the hearing pursuant to division (A) of this section or for the	359
purposes of division (A)(4) of section 2151.353 of the Revised	360
Code;	361

(3) The parent committed any abuse as described in section	362
2151.031 of the Revised Code against the child, caused the child	363
to suffer any neglect as described in section 2151.03 of the	364
Revised Code, or allowed the child to suffer any neglect as	365
described in section 2151.03 of the Revised Code between the date	366
that the original complaint alleging abuse or neglect was filed	367
and the date of the filing of the motion for permanent custody;	368

(4) The parent has demonstrated a lack of commitment toward	369
the child by failing to regularly support, visit, or communicate	370
with the child when able to do so, or by other actions showing an	371
unwillingness to provide an adequate permanent home for the child;	372

(5) The parent is incarcerated for an offense committed	373
against the child or a sibling of the child;	374

(6) The parent has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to an	375
offense under division (A) or (C) of section 2919.22 or under	376
section 2903.16, 2903.21, 2903.34, 2905.01, 2905.02, 2905.03,	377
2905.04, 2905.05, 2907.07, 2907.08, 2907.09, 2907.12, 2907.21,	378
2907.22, 2907.23, 2907.25, 2907.31, 2907.32, 2907.321, 2907.322,	379
2907.323, 2911.01, 2911.02, 2911.11, 2911.12, 2919.12, 2919.24,	380
2919.25, 2923.12, 2923.13, 2923.161, 2925.02, or 3716.11 of the	381
Revised Code, and the child or a sibling of the child was a victim	382
of the offense, or the parent has been convicted of or pleaded	383
guilty to an offense under section 2903.04 of the Revised Code, a	384
sibling of the child was the victim of the offense, and the parent	385
who committed the offense poses an ongoing danger to the child or	386
a sibling of the child.	387

(7) The parent has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to one	388
of the following:	389

that it has made those reasonable efforts. If the agency removed	492
the child from home during an emergency in which the child could	493
not safely remain at home and the agency did not have prior	494
contact with the child, the court is not prohibited, solely	495
because the agency did not make reasonable efforts during the	496

division (A)(2) of this section and shall be held no later than	596
thirty days following that determination.	597

(2) As used in this division:

647

(a) An "offense is directly related to the misconduct in	648
office of a public servant" includes, but is not limited to, a	649

continuing course of conduct, the period of limitation does not	659
begin to run until such course of conduct or the accused's	660
accountability for it terminates, whichever occurs first.	661

(E) A prosecution is commenced on the date an indictment is	662
returned or an information filed, or on the date a lawful arrest	663
without a warrant is made, or on the date a warrant, summons,	664

same.	671

(F) The period of limitation shall not run during any time	672
when the corpus delicti remains undiscovered.	673

(G) The period of limitation shall not run during any time	674

whereabouts is prima-facie evidence of the accused's purpose to	677
avoid prosecution.	678

(H) The period of limitation shall not run during any time a	679
prosecution against the accused based on the same conduct is	680
pending in this state, even though the indictment, information, or	681
process that commenced the prosecution is quashed or the	682
proceedings on the indictment, information, or process are set	683
aside or reversed on appeal.	684

(I) The period of limitation for a violation of any provision	685
of Title XXIX of the Revised Code that involves a physical or	686
mental wound, injury, disability, or condition of a nature that	687

years of age or of a mentally retarded, developmentally disabled,	689

that abuse or neglect is known, suspected, or believed to have	697
occurred.	698

entice, isolate, harbor, transport, provide, obtain, or maintain,	702

participant in the production of material that is obscene,	710
sexually oriented, or nudity oriented.	711

(2) The other person is less than sixteen years of age or is	712
a developmentally disabled person whom the offender knows or has	713
reasonable cause to believe is a developmentally disabled person,	714
and either the offender knows that the other person will be	715
subjected to involuntary servitude or the offender's knowing	716
recruitment, luring, enticement, isolation, harboring,	717
transportation, provision, obtaining, or maintenance of the other	718

(C) In a prosecution under this section, proof that the	745
defendant engaged in sexual activity with any person, or solicited	746
sexual activity with any person, whether or not for hire, without	747
more, does not constitute a violation of this section.	748

(D) A prosecution for a violation of this section does not	749
preclude a prosecution of a violation of any other section of the	750
Revised Code. One or more acts, a series of acts, or a course of	751
behavior that can be prosecuted under this section or any other	752
section of the Revised Code may be prosecuted under this section,	753

this section and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	756
violation of section 2907.21 of the Revised Code based on the same	757
conduct involving the same victim that was the basis of the	758

any other violation of Chapter 2907. of the Revised Code based on	760
the same conduct involving the same victim that was the basis of	761
the violation of this section, the two offenses are allied	762
offenses of similar import under section 2941.25 of the Revised	763
Code.	764

(E) Whoever violates this section is guilty of trafficking in	765
persons, a felony of the first degree. Notwithstanding division	766
(A)(1) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code, the court shall	767
sentence the offender to a definite prison term of ten, eleven,	768
twelve, thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen years.	769

committing that offense, the offender had a mental illness or, was	2002
a person with intellectual disability, or was a victim of a	2003
violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code and that the	2004
mental illness or, status as a person with intellectual	2005
disability, or fact that the offender was a victim of a violation	2006
of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code was a factor leading to the	2007
offender's criminal behavior, the court may accept, prior to the	2008
entry of a guilty plea, the offender's request for intervention in	2009
lieu of conviction. The request shall include a statement from the	2010
offender as to whether the offender is alleging that drug or	2011
alcohol usage by the offender was a factor leading to the criminal	2012
offense with which the offender is charged or is alleging that, at	2013
the time of committing that offense, the offender had a mental	2014
illness or, was a person with intellectual disability, or was a	2015
victim of a violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code and	2016
that the mental illness or, status as a person with intellectual	2017
disability, or fact that the offender was a victim of a violation	2018
of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code was a factor leading to the	2019
criminal offense with which the offender is charged. The request	2020
also shall include a waiver of the defendant's right to a speedy	2021
trial, the preliminary hearing, the time period within which the	2022
grand jury may consider an indictment against the offender, and	2023
arraignment, unless the hearing, indictment, or arraignment has	2024
already occurred. The court may reject an offender's request	2025
without a hearing. If the court elects to consider an offender's	2026
request, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether	2027
the offender is eligible under this section for intervention in	2028
lieu of conviction and shall stay all criminal proceedings pending	2029
the outcome of the hearing. If the court schedules a hearing, the	2030
court shall order an assessment of the offender for the purpose of	2031
determining the offender's eligibility for intervention in lieu of	2032
conviction and recommending an appropriate intervention plan.	2033

If the offender alleges that drug or alcohol usage by the	2034
offender was a factor leading to the criminal offense with which	2035
the offender is charged, the court may order that the offender be	2036
assessed by an addiction services provider certified pursuant to	2037
section 5119.36 of the Revised Code or a properly credentialed	2038
professional for the purpose of determining the offender's	2039
eligibility for intervention in lieu of conviction and	2040
recommending an appropriate intervention plan. The addiction	2041
services provider or the properly credentialed professional shall	2042
provide a written assessment of the offender to the court.	2043

(2) The victim notification provisions of division (C) of	2044
section 2930.08 of the Revised Code apply in relation to any	2045
hearing held under division (A)(1) of this section.	2046

(B) An offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of	2047
conviction if the court finds all of the following:	2048

(1) The offender previously has not been convicted of or	2049
pleaded guilty to a felony offense of violence or previously has	2050
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any felony that is not an	2051
offense of violence and the prosecuting attorney recommends that	2052
the offender be found eligible for participation in intervention	2053
in lieu of treatment under this section, previously has not been	2054
through intervention in lieu of conviction under this section or	2055
any similar regimen, and is charged with a felony for which the	2056
court, upon conviction, would impose a community control sanction	2057
on the offender under division (B)(2) of section 2929.13 of the	2058
Revised Code or with a misdemeanor.	2059

(2) The offense is not a felony of the first, second, or	2060
third degree, is not an offense of violence, is not a violation of	2061
division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code, is	2062
not a violation of division (A)(1) of section 2903.08 of the	2063
Revised Code, is not a violation of division (A) of section	2064
4511.19 of the Revised Code or a municipal ordinance that is	2065
substantially similar to that division, and is not an offense for	2066
which a sentencing court is required to impose a mandatory prison	2067
term, a mandatory term of local incarceration, or a mandatory term	2068
of imprisonment in a jail.	2069

(3) The offender is not charged with a violation of section	2070
2925.02, 2925.04, or 2925.06 of the Revised Code, is not charged	2071

felony of the first, second, third, or fourth degree, and is not	2073
charged with a violation of section 2925.11 of the Revised Code	2074
that is a felony of the first, second, or third degree.	2075

(4) If an offender alleges that drug or alcohol usage by the	2076
offender was a factor leading to the criminal offense with which	2077
the offender is charged, the court has ordered that the offender	2078
be assessed by an addiction services provider certified pursuant	2079
to section 5119.36 of the Revised Code or a properly credentialed	2080
professional for the purpose of determining the offender's	2081
eligibility for intervention in lieu of conviction and	2082
recommending an appropriate intervention plan, the offender has	2083
been assessed by an addiction services provider of that nature or	2084
a properly credentialed professional in accordance with the	2085
court's order, and the addiction services provider or properly	2086
credentialed professional has filed the written assessment of the	2087
offender with the court.	2088

(5) If an offender alleges that, at the time of committing	2089
the criminal offense with which the offender is charged, the	2090
offender had a mental illness or, was a person with intellectual	2091
disability, or was a victim of a violation of section 2905.32 of	2092
the Revised Code and that the mental illness or, status as a	2093
person with intellectual disability, or fact that the offender was	2094
a victim of a violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code was	2095
a factor leading to that offense, the offender has been assessed	2096
by a psychiatrist, psychologist, independent social worker,	2097
licensed professional clinical counselor, or independent marriage	2098
and family therapist for the purpose of determining the offender's	2099
eligibility for intervention in lieu of conviction and	2100
recommending an appropriate intervention plan.	2101

(6) The offender's drug usage, alcohol usage, mental illness,	2102
or intellectual disability, or the fact that the offender was a	2103
victim of a violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code,	2104
whichever is applicable, was a factor leading to the criminal	2105
offense with which the offender is charged, intervention in lieu	2106
of conviction would not demean the seriousness of the offense, and	2107
intervention would substantially reduce the likelihood of any	2108
future criminal activity.	2109

(7) The alleged victim of the offense was not sixty-five	2110
years of age or older, permanently and totally disabled, under	2111
thirteen years of age, or a peace officer engaged in the officer's	2112
official duties at the time of the alleged offense.	2113

(8) If the offender is charged with a violation of section	2114
2925.24 of the Revised Code, the alleged violation did not result	2115
in physical harm to any person, and the offender previously has	2116
not been treated for drug abuse.	2117

(9) The offender is willing to comply with all terms and	2118
conditions imposed by the court pursuant to division (D) of this	2119
section.	2120

(10) The offender is not charged with an offense that would	2121
result in the offender being disqualified under Chapter 4506. of	2122
the Revised Code from operating a commercial motor vehicle or	2123
would subject the offender to any other sanction under that	2124
chapter.	2125

(C) At the conclusion of a hearing held pursuant to division	2126
(A) of this section, the court shall enter its determination as to	2127
whether the offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of	2128
conviction and as to whether to grant the offender's request. If	2129
the court finds under division (B) of this section that the	2130
offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction and	2131
grants the offender's request, the court shall accept the	2132
offender's plea of guilty and waiver of the defendant's right to a	2133
speedy trial, the preliminary hearing, the time period within	2134
which the grand jury may consider an indictment against the	2135
offender, and arraignment, unless the hearing, indictment, or	2136
arraignment has already occurred. In addition, the court then may	2137
stay all criminal proceedings and order the offender to comply	2138
with all terms and conditions imposed by the court pursuant to	2139
division (D) of this section. If the court finds that the offender	2140
is not eligible or does not grant the offender's request, the	2141
criminal proceedings against the offender shall proceed as if the	2142
offender's request for intervention in lieu of conviction had not	2143
been made.	2144

(D) If the court grants an offender's request for	2145
intervention in lieu of conviction, the court shall place the	2146
offender under the general control and supervision of the county	2147
probation department, the adult parole authority, or another	2148
appropriate local probation or court services agency, if one	2149
exists, as if the offender was subject to a community control	2150
sanction imposed under section 2929.15, 2929.18, or 2929.25 of the	2151
Revised Code. The court shall establish an intervention plan for	2152
the offender. The terms and conditions of the intervention plan	2153
shall require the offender, for at least one year from the date on	2154
which the court grants the order of intervention in lieu of	2155
conviction, to abstain from the use of illegal drugs and alcohol,	2156
to participate in treatment and recovery support services, and to	2157
submit to regular random testing for drug and alcohol use and may	2158
include any other treatment terms and conditions, or terms and	2159
conditions similar to community control sanctions, which may	2160
include community service or restitution, that are ordered by the	2161
court.	2162

(E) If the court grants an offender's request for	2163
intervention in lieu of conviction and the court finds that the	2164
offender has successfully completed the intervention plan for the	2165
offender, including the requirement that the offender abstain from	2166
using illegal drugs and alcohol for a period of at least one year	2167
from the date on which the court granted the order of intervention	2168
in lieu of conviction, the requirement that the offender	2169
participate in treatment and recovery support services, and all	2170
other terms and conditions ordered by the court, the court shall	2171
dismiss the proceedings against the offender. Successful	2172
completion of the intervention plan and period of abstinence under	2173
this section shall be without adjudication of guilt and is not a	2174
criminal conviction for purposes of any disqualification or	2175
disability imposed by law and upon conviction of a crime, and the	2176
court may order the sealing of records related to the offense in	2177
question in the manner provided in sections 2953.31 to 2953.36 of	2178
the Revised Code.	2179

(F) If the court grants an offender's request for	2180
intervention in lieu of conviction and the offender fails to	2181
comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the	2182
intervention plan for the offender, the supervising authority for	2183
the offender promptly shall advise the court of this failure, and	2184
the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether the offender	2185
failed to comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the	2186
plan. If the court determines that the offender has failed to	2187
comply with any of those terms and conditions, it shall enter a	2188
finding of guilty and shall impose an appropriate sanction under	2189
Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code. If the court sentences the	2190
offender to a prison term, the court, after consulting with the	2191
department of rehabilitation and correction regarding the	2192
availability of services, may order continued court-supervised	2193
activity and treatment of the offender during the prison term and,	2194
upon consideration of reports received from the department	2195
concerning the offender's progress in the program of activity and	2196
treatment, may consider judicial release under section 2929.20 of	2197
the Revised Code.	2198

2199

(1) "Community control sanction" has the same meaning as in	2200
section 2929.01 of the Revised Code.	2201

2950.01, 2951.041, and 3319.073 of the Revised Code are hereby	2275
repealed.	2276

Section 3.  If any provision of a section in this bill or the	2277
application of any such provision to any person or circumstances	2278
is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect any other	2279
provision or application of the section or of any other section in	2280
this bill that can be given effect without the invalid provision	2281
or application, and to this end the provisions are severable.	2282

Section 4.  The changes made by this act to sections 2901.13,	2283
2907.22, and 3319.073 of the Revised Code are not intended to be	2284
new changes, but are intended to confirm and continue the changes	2285

offenses described in this act. Therefore this act shall go into	2299
immediate effect.	2300
