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

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

        (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

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

criminal offense, including but not limited to a violation of 1986
section 2913.02, 2913.03, 2913.11, 2913.21, 2913.31, or 2919.21 of 1987
the Revised Code, and the court has reason to believe that drug or 1988

offense with which the offender is charged or that, at the time of 1990
committing that offense, the offender had a mental illness or, was 1991
a person with intellectual disability, or was a victim of a 1992
violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code and that the 1993
mental illness or, status as a person with intellectual 1994
disability, or fact that the offender was a victim of a violation 1995
of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code was a factor leading to the 1996
offender's criminal behavior, the court may accept, prior to the 1997
entry of a guilty plea, the offender's request for intervention in 1998
lieu of conviction. The request shall include a statement from the 1999

arraignment, unless the hearing, indictment, or arraignment has 2013
already occurred. The court may reject an offender's request 2014
without a hearing. If the court elects to consider an offender's 2015
request, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether 2016
the offender is eligible under this section for intervention in 2017
lieu of conviction and shall stay all criminal proceedings pending 2018
the outcome of the hearing. If the court schedules a hearing, the 2019
court shall order an assessment of the offender for the purpose of 2020
determining the offender's eligibility for intervention in lieu of 2021
conviction and recommending an appropriate intervention plan.2022

       If the offender alleges that drug or alcohol usage by the 2023
offender was a factor leading to the criminal offense with which 2024

the offender be found eligible for participation in intervention 2042
in lieu of treatment under this section, previously has not been 2043
through intervention in lieu of conviction under this section or 2044
any similar regimen, and is charged with a felony for which the 2045
court, upon conviction, would impose a community control sanction 2046
on the offender under division (B)(2) of section 2929.13 of the 2047
Revised Code or with a misdemeanor.2048

       (2) The offense is not a felony of the first, second, or 2049

not a violation of division (A)(1) of section 2903.08 of the 2052
Revised Code, is not a violation of division (A) of section 2053
4511.19 of the Revised Code or a municipal ordinance that is 2054
substantially similar to that division, and is not an offense for 2055
which a sentencing court is required to impose a mandatory prison 2056
term, a mandatory term of local incarceration, or a mandatory term 2057
of imprisonment in a jail.2058

       (3) The offender is not charged with a violation of section 2059

charged with a violation of section 2925.11 of the Revised Code 2063
that is a felony of the first, second, or third degree.2064

       (4) If an offender alleges that drug or alcohol usage by the 2065
offender was a factor leading to the criminal offense with which 2066
the offender is charged, the court has ordered that the offender 2067
be assessed by an addiction services provider certified pursuant 2068
to section 5119.36 of the Revised Code or a properly credentialed 2069
professional for the purpose of determining the offender's 2070
eligibility for intervention in lieu of conviction and 2071
recommending an appropriate intervention plan, the offender has 2072
been assessed by an addiction services provider of that nature or 2073
a properly credentialed professional in accordance with the 2074
court's order, and the addiction services provider or properly 2075
credentialed professional has filed the written assessment of the 2076

offender had a mental illness or, was a person with intellectual 2080
disability, or was a victim of a violation of section 2905.32 of 2081
the Revised Code and that the mental illness or, status as a 2082
person with intellectual disability, or fact that the offender was 2083
a victim of a violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code was 2084
a factor leading to that offense, the offender has been assessed 2085
by a psychiatrist, psychologist, independent social worker, 2086
licensed professional clinical counselor, or independent marriage 2087
and family therapist for the purpose of determining the offender's 2088
eligibility for intervention in lieu of conviction and 2089
recommending an appropriate intervention plan.2090

       (6) The offender's drug usage, alcohol usage, mental illness, 2091
or intellectual disability, or the fact that the offender was a 2092
victim of a violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code, 2093
whichever is applicable, was a factor leading to the criminal 2094
offense with which the offender is charged, intervention in lieu 2095
of conviction would not demean the seriousness of the offense, and 2096
intervention would substantially reduce the likelihood of any 2097
future criminal activity.2098

       (7) The alleged victim of the offense was not sixty-five 2099
years of age or older, permanently and totally disabled, under 2100
thirteen years of age, or a peace officer engaged in the officer's 2101

not been treated for drug abuse.2106

       (9) The offender is willing to comply with all terms and 2107
conditions imposed by the court pursuant to division (D) of this 2108
section.2109

       (10) The offender is not charged with an offense that would 2110
result in the offender being disqualified under Chapter 4506. of 2111
the Revised Code from operating a commercial motor vehicle or 2112
would subject the offender to any other sanction under that 2113
chapter. 2114

       (C) At the conclusion of a hearing held pursuant to division 2115
(A) of this section, the court shall enter its determination as to 2116
whether the offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of 2117
conviction and as to whether to grant the offender's request. If 2118
the court finds under division (B) of this section that the 2119
offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction and 2120
grants the offender's request, the court shall accept the 2121
offender's plea of guilty and waiver of the defendant's right to a 2122
speedy trial, the preliminary hearing, the time period within 2123
which the grand jury may consider an indictment against the 2124
offender, and arraignment, unless the hearing, indictment, or 2125
arraignment has already occurred. In addition, the court then may 2126
stay all criminal proceedings and order the offender to comply 2127
with all terms and conditions imposed by the court pursuant to 2128
division (D) of this section. If the court finds that the offender 2129
is not eligible or does not grant the offender's request, the 2130
criminal proceedings against the offender shall proceed as if the 2131
offender's request for intervention in lieu of conviction had not 2132
been made.2133

       (D) If the court grants an offender's request for 2134
intervention in lieu of conviction, the court shall place the 2135
offender under the general control and supervision of the county 2136
probation department, the adult parole authority, or another 2137
appropriate local probation or court services agency, if one 2138
exists, as if the offender was subject to a community control 2139
sanction imposed under section 2929.15, 2929.18, or 2929.25 of the 2140
Revised Code. The court shall establish an intervention plan for 2141
the offender. The terms and conditions of the intervention plan 2142
shall require the offender, for at least one year from the date on 2143
which the court grants the order of intervention in lieu of 2144
conviction, to abstain from the use of illegal drugs and alcohol, 2145
to participate in treatment and recovery support services, and to 2146
submit to regular random testing for drug and alcohol use and may 2147
include any other treatment terms and conditions, or terms and 2148
conditions similar to community control sanctions, which may 2149
include community service or restitution, that are ordered by the 2150
court.2151

       (E) If the court grants an offender's request for 2152
intervention in lieu of conviction and the court finds that the 2153
offender has successfully completed the intervention plan for the 2154
offender, including the requirement that the offender abstain from 2155
using illegal drugs and alcohol for a period of at least one year 2156
from the date on which the court granted the order of intervention 2157
in lieu of conviction, the requirement that the offender 2158
participate in treatment and recovery support services, and all 2159
other terms and conditions ordered by the court, the court shall 2160
dismiss the proceedings against the offender. Successful 2161
completion of the intervention plan and period of abstinence under 2162
this section shall be without adjudication of guilt and is not a 2163
criminal conviction for purposes of any disqualification or 2164
disability imposed by law and upon conviction of a crime, and the 2165
court may order the sealing of records related to the offense in 2166
question in the manner provided in sections 2953.31 to 2953.36 of 2167
the Revised Code.2168

       (F) If the court grants an offender's request for 2169
intervention in lieu of conviction and the offender fails to 2170
comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the 2171
intervention plan for the offender, the supervising authority for 2172
the offender promptly shall advise the court of this failure, and 2173
the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether the offender 2174
failed to comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the 2175
plan. If the court determines that the offender has failed to 2176
comply with any of those terms and conditions, it shall enter a 2177
finding of guilty and shall impose an appropriate sanction under 2178
Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code. If the court sentences the 2179
offender to a prison term, the court, after consulting with the 2180
department of rehabilitation and correction regarding the 2181
availability of services, may order continued court-supervised 2182
activity and treatment of the offender during the prison term and, 2183
upon consideration of reports received from the department 2184
concerning the offender's progress in the program of activity and 2185
treatment, may consider judicial release under section 2929.20 of 2186
the Revised Code.2187
