Sec. 307.93.  (A) The boards of county commissioners of two or more adjacent counties may contract for the joint establishment of a multicounty correctional center, and the board of county commissioners of a county or the boards of two or more counties may contract with any municipal corporation or municipal corporations located in that county or those counties for the joint establishment of a municipal-county or multicounty-municipal correctional center. The center shall augment county and, where applicable, municipal jail programs and facilities by providing custody and rehabilitative programs for those persons under the charge of the sheriff of any of the contracting counties or of the officer or officers of the contracting municipal corporation or municipal corporations having charge of persons incarcerated in the municipal jail, workhouse, or other correctional facility who, in the opinion of the sentencing court, need programs of custody and rehabilitation not available at the county or municipal jail and by providing custody and rehabilitative programs in accordance with division (C) of this section, if applicable. The contract may include, but need not be limited to, provisions regarding the acquisition, construction, maintenance, repair, termination of operations, and administration of the center. The contract shall prescribe the manner of funding of, and debt assumption for, the center and the standards and procedures to be followed in the operation of the center. Except as provided in division (H) of this section, the contracting counties and municipal corporations shall form a corrections commission to oversee the administration of the center. Members of the commission shall consist of the sheriff of each participating county, the president of the board of county commissioners of each participating county, the presiding judge of the court of common pleas of each participating county, or, if the court of common pleas of a participating county has only one judge, then that judge, the chief of police of each participating municipal corporation, the mayor or city manager of each participating municipal corporation, and the presiding judge or the sole judge of the municipal court of each participating municipal corporation. Any of the foregoing officers may appoint a designee to serve in the officer's place on the corrections commission. The standards and procedures shall be formulated and agreed to by the commission and may be amended at any time during the life of the contract by agreement of the parties to the contract upon the advice of the commission. The standards and procedures formulated by the commission shall include, but need not be limited to, designation of the person in charge of the center, the categories of employees to be employed at the center, the appointing authority of the center, and the standards of treatment and security to be maintained at the center. The person in charge of, and all persons employed to work at, the center shall have all the powers of police officers that are necessary for the proper performance of the duties relating to their positions at the center.
(B) Each board of county commissioners that enters a contract under division (A) of this section may appoint a building commission pursuant to section 153.21 of the Revised Code. If any commissions are appointed, they shall function jointly in the construction of a multicounty or multicounty-municipal correctional center with all the powers and duties authorized by law.
(C) Prior to the acceptance for custody and rehabilitation into a center established under this section of any persons who are designated by the department of rehabilitation and correction, who plead guilty to or are convicted of a felony of the fourth or fifth degree, and who satisfy the other requirements listed in section 5120.161 of the Revised Code, the corrections commission of a center established under this section shall enter into an agreement with the department of rehabilitation and correction under section 5120.161 of the Revised Code for the custody and rehabilitation in the center of persons who are designated by the department, who plead guilty to or are convicted of a felony of the fourth or fifth degree, and who satisfy the other requirements listed in that section, in exchange for a per diem fee per person. Persons incarcerated in the center pursuant to an agreement entered into under this division shall be subject to supervision and control in the manner described in section 5120.161 of the Revised Code. This division does not affect the authority of a court to directly sentence a person who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony to the center in accordance with section 2929.16 of the Revised Code.
(D)(1) Each Pursuant to section 2929.37 of the Revised Code, each board of county commissioners and the legislative authority of each municipal corporation that enters into a contract under division (A) of this section may require a person who was convicted of an offense, who is under the charge of the sheriff of their county or of the officer or officers of the contracting municipal corporation or municipal corporations having charge of persons incarcerated in the municipal jail, workhouse, or other correctional facility, and who is confined in the multicounty, municipal-county, or multicounty-municipal correctional center as provided in that division, to reimburse the applicable county or municipal corporation for its expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement in the center. The expenses of confinement include, but are not limited to, the expenses relating to the provision of food, clothing, shelter, medical care, personal hygiene products, including, but not limited to, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and feminine hygiene items, and up to two hours of overtime costs the sheriff or municipal corporation incurred relating to the trial of the person. The amount of reimbursement may be the actual cost of the person's confinement plus the authorized trial overtime costs or a lesser amount determined by the board of county commissioners of the county or the legislative authority of the municipal corporation, provided that the lesser amount shall be determined by a formula that is uniformly applied to persons incarcerated in the center. The amount of reimbursement shall be determined by a court at a hearing held pursuant to section 2929.18 of the Revised Code if the person is confined for a felony or section 2929.223 of the Revised Code if the person is confined for a misdemeanor. The amount or amounts paid in reimbursement by a person confined for a misdemeanor or the amount recovered from a person confined for a misdemeanor by executing upon the judgment obtained pursuant to section 2929.223 of the Revised Code shall be paid into the treasury of the county or municipal corporation that incurred the expenses. If a person is confined for a felony and the court imposes a sanction under section 2929.18 of the Revised Code that requires the person to reimburse the costs of confinement, the prosecuting attorney of the county or the director of law of the municipal corporation shall bring an action to recover the expenses of the confinement in accordance with section 2929.18 of the Revised Code.
(2) Each board of county commissioners and the legislative authority of each municipal corporation that enters into a contract under division (A) of this section may adopt a resolution or ordinance specifying that a person who was convicted of a felony, who is under the charge of the sheriff of their county or of an officer of one of the contracting municipal corporations having charge of persons incarcerated in the municipal jail, workhouse, or other facility, and who is confined in the multicounty, municipal-county, or multicounty-municipal correctional center as provided in that division is not required to reimburse the applicable county or municipal corporation for its expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement in the center, including the expenses listed in division (D)(1) of this section. If the boards and legislative authorities adopt a resolution or ordinance of that nature, the boards and legislative authorities shall provide a copy to the courts of common pleas of their counties, and the court that sentences a person convicted of a felony shall not impose a sanction under section 2929.18 of the Revised Code that requires the person to reimburse the costs of the confinement.
(E) In lieu of requiring offenders to reimburse the county for expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement under division (D) of this section, each board of county commissioners and the legislative authority of each municipal corporation that enters into a contract under division (A) of this section may jointly adopt a prisoner reimbursement policy for the center pursuant to this section to be administered by the person appointed under division (A) of this section to be in charge of the center. The person in charge may appoint a reimbursement coordinator to administer the center's prisoner reimbursement policy. A prisoner reimbursement policy adopted under this division is a policy that requires a person confined to the center to reimburse the applicable political subdivisions for any expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement in the center, which expenses may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) A per diem fee for room and board of not more than sixty dollars per day or the actual per diem cost, whichever is less, for the entire period of time the person is confined to the center;
(2) Actual charges for medical and dental treatment, and the fee for a random drug test assessed under division (E) of section 341.26 of the Revised Code;
(3) Reimbursement for government property damaged by the person while confined to the center.
Rates charged shall be on a sliding scale determined by the corrections commission based on the ability of the person confined to the center to pay and on consideration of any legal obligation of the person to support a spouse, minor children, or other dependents and any moral obligation to support dependents to whom the person is providing or has in fact provided support.
The reimbursement coordinator or another person designated by the person in charge may investigate the financial status of the confined person and obtain information necessary to investigate that status, by means that may include contacting employers and reviewing income tax records. The coordinator may work with the confined person to create a repayment plan to be implemented upon the person's release. At the end of that person's incarceration, the person shall be presented with a billing statement.
The reimbursement coordinator or another person designated by the person in charge of the center may collect, or the corrections commission may enter into a contract with one or more public agencies or private vendors to collect, any amounts remaining unpaid. Within twelve months after the date of the confined person's release, the prosecuting attorney, city director of law, or village solicitor of a participating political subdivision may file a civil action to seek reimbursement from that person for any billing amount that remains unpaid. The participating political subdivisions shall not enforce any judgment obtained under this section by means of execution against the person's homestead. For purposes of this section, "homestead" has the same meaning as in division (A) of section 323.151 of the Revised Code. Any reimbursement received under this section shall be credited to the general fund of the political subdivision that bore the expense, to be used for general fund purposes.
(F)(1)(E) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223, 2929.21, 2929.36, or 2929.37 of the Revised Code, the corrections commission of a center may establish a policy that complies with section 2929.38 of the Revised Code and that requires any person who is not indigent and who is confined in the multicounty, municipal-county, or multicounty-municipal correctional center to pay a reasonable reception fee, a fee for any medical treatment or service requested by and provided to that person, or to pay the fee for a random drug test assessed under division (E) of section 341.26 of the Revised Code. The fee for the medical treatment or service shall not exceed the actual cost of the treatment or service provided. No person confined to a multicounty, municipal-county, or multicounty-municipal correctional center who is indigent shall be required to pay those fees, and no person who is confined to a correctional center of that type shall be denied any necessary medical care because of inability to pay those fees.
Upon provision of the requested medical treatment or service or assessment of a fee for a random drug test, payment of the required fee may be automatically deducted from a person's account record in the center's business office. If the person has no funds in the person's account, a deduction may be made at a later date during the person's confinement in the center if funds later become available in the person's account. If the person is released from the center and has an unpaid balance of these fees, the corrections commission may bill the person for payment of the remaining unpaid fees. Fees received for medical treatment or services shall be paid into the commissary fund, if one has been created for the center, or if no such fund exists, into the treasuries of the political subdivisions that incurred the expenses of those treatments and services, in the same proportion as those expenses were borne by those political subdivisions.
(2) If a person confined to a multicounty, municipal-county, or multicounty-municipal correctional center is required under division (D) or (E) of this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223 of the Revised Code to reimburse a county or municipal corporation for expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement to the center, any fees paid by the person under division (F)(1) of this section shall be deducted from the expenses required to be reimbursed under division (D) or (E) of this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223 of the Revised Code.
(G)(F)(1) The corrections commission of a center established under this section may establish a commissary for the center. The commissary may be established either in-house or by another arrangement. If a commissary is established, all persons incarcerated in the center shall receive commissary privileges. A person's purchases from the commissary shall be deducted from the person's account record in the center's business office. The commissary shall provide for the distribution to indigent persons incarcerated in the center of necessary hygiene articles and writing materials.
(2) If a commissary is established, the corrections commission of a center established under this section shall establish a commissary fund for the center. The management of funds in the commissary fund shall be strictly controlled in accordance with procedures adopted by the auditor of state. Commissary fund revenue over and above operating costs and reserve shall be considered profits. All profits from the commissary fund shall be used to purchase supplies and equipment for the benefit of persons incarcerated in the center. The corrections commission shall adopt rules and regulations for the operation of any commissary fund it establishes.
(H)(G) In lieu of forming a corrections commission to administer a multicounty correctional center or a municipal-county or multicounty-municipal correctional center, the boards of county commissioners and the legislative authorities of the municipal corporations contracting to establish the center may also agree to contract for the private operation and management of the center as provided in section 9.06 of the Revised Code, but only if the center houses only misdemeanant inmates. In order to enter into a contract under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, all the boards and legislative authorities establishing the center shall approve and be parties to the contract.
(I)(H) If a person who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an offense is sentenced to a term in a multicounty correctional center or a municipal-county or multicounty-municipal correctional center or is incarcerated in the center in the manner described in division (C) of this section, or if a person who is arrested for an offense, and who has been denied bail or has had bail set and has not been released on bail is confined in a multicounty correctional center or a municipal-county or multicounty-municipal correctional center pending trial, at the time of reception and at other times the officer, officers, or other person in charge of the operation of the center determines to be appropriate, the officer, officers, or other person in charge of the operation of the center may cause the convicted or accused offender to be examined and tested for tuberculosis, HIV infection, hepatitis, including but not limited to hepatitis A, B, and C, and other contagious diseases. The officer, officers, or other person in charge of the operation of the center may cause a convicted or accused offender in the center who refuses to be tested or treated for tuberculosis, HIV infection, hepatitis, including but not limited to hepatitis A, B, and C, or another contagious disease to be tested and treated involuntarily.
(J)(I) As used in this section, "multicounty-municipal" means more than one county and a municipal corporation, or more than one municipal corporation and a county, or more than one municipal corporation and more than one county.
Sec. 341.14.  (A) The sheriff of an adjoining county shall not receive prisoners as provided by section 341.12 of the Revised Code unless there is deposited weekly with the sheriff an amount equal to the actual cost of keeping and feeding each prisoner so committed for the use of the jail of that county, and the same amount for a period of time less than one week.

Sec. 753.16.  (A) Any city or district having a workhouse may receive as inmates of the workhouse persons sentenced or committed to it from counties other than the one in which the workhouse is situated, upon the terms and during the length of time agreed upon by the boards of county commissioners of those counties, or by the legislative authority of a municipal corporation in those counties and the legislative authority of the city, or the board of the district workhouse, or other authority having the management and control of the workhouse. Prisoners so received shall in all respects be and remain under the control of that authority, and shall be subject to the rules and discipline of the workhouse to which the other prisoners detained in the workhouse are subject.

(C)(1) The Pursuant to section 2929.37 of the Revised Code, the board of county commissioners, the legislative authority of the municipal corporation, or the board or other managing authority of the district workhouse may require a person who was convicted of an offense and who is confined in the workhouse as provided in division (A) of this section, to reimburse the county, municipal corporation, or district, as the case may be, for its expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement, including, but not limited to, the expenses relating to the provision of food, clothing, shelter, medical care, personal hygiene products, including, but not limited to, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and feminine hygiene items, and up to two hours of overtime costs the sheriff or municipal corporation incurred relating to the trial of the person. The amount of reimbursement may be the actual cost of the person's confinement plus the authorized trial overtime costs or a lesser amount determined by the board of county commissioners for the county, the legislative authority of the municipal corporation, or the board or other managing authority of the district workhouse, provided that the lesser amount shall be determined by a formula that is uniformly applied to persons incarcerated in the workhouse. The amount of reimbursement shall be determined by a court at a hearing held pursuant to section 2929.18 of the Revised Code if the person is confined for a felony or section 2929.223 of the Revised Code if the person is confined for a misdemeanor. The amount or amounts paid in reimbursement by a person confined for a misdemeanor or the amount recovered from a person confined for a misdemeanor by executing upon the judgment obtained pursuant to section 2929.223 of the Revised Code shall be paid into the treasury of the county, municipal corporation, or district that incurred the expenses. If a person is confined for a felony and the court imposes a sanction under section 2929.18 of the Revised Code that requires the person to reimburse the costs of confinement, the prosecuting attorney or municipal chief legal officer shall bring an action to recover the expenses of confinement in accordance with section 2929.18 of the Revised Code.

(D)(1) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this section or section 2929.223, 2929.21, 2929.36, or 2929.37 of the Revised Code, the board of county commissioners, the legislative authority of a municipal corporation, or the board or other managing authority of the district workhouse may establish a policy that complies with section 2929.38 of the Revised Code and that requires any person who is not indigent and who is confined in the jail or workhouse under division (A) or (B) of this section to pay a reasonable reception fee, a fee for any medical treatment or service requested by and provided to that person, or to pay the fee for a random drug test assessed under division (E) of section 753.33 of the Revised Code. The fee for the medical treatment or service shall not exceed the actual cost of the treatment or service provided. No person who is indigent shall be required to pay those fees, and no person shall be denied any necessary medical care because of inability to pay those fees.
Upon provision of the requested medical treatment or service or assessment of a fee for a random drug test, payment of the required fee may be automatically deducted from a person's account record in the jail or workhouse's business office. If the person has no funds in the person's account, a deduction may be made at a later date during the person's confinement in the jail or workhouse if funds later become available in that person's account. If the person is released from the jail or workhouse and has an unpaid balance of these fees, the board of county commissioners, the legislative authority of the municipal corporation, or the board or other managing authority of the district workhouse may bill the person for payment of the remaining unpaid fees. Fees received for medical treatment or services shall be paid into the commissary fund, if one has been created for the workhouse, or if no such fund exists, into the treasury of each applicable political subdivision.
(2) If a person confined to a jail or workhouse is required under division (C) of this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223 of the Revised Code to reimburse medical expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement to the jail or workhouse, any fees paid by the person under division (D)(1) of this section shall be deducted from the expenses required to be reimbursed under division (C) of this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223 of the Revised Code.

Sec. 2301.56.  (A) A judicial corrections board that proposes or establishes one or more community-based correctional facilities and programs or district community-based correctional facilities and programs may apply to the division of parole and community services for state financial assistance for the cost of renovation, maintenance, and operation of any of the facilities and programs. If the judicial corrections board has proposed or established more than one facility and program and if it desires state financial assistance for more than one of the facilities and programs, the board shall submit a separate application for each facility and program for which it desires the financial assistance.
An application for state financial assistance under this section may be made when the judicial corrections board submits for the approval of the section its proposal for the establishment of the facility and program in question to the division of parole and community services under division (B) of section 2301.51 of the Revised Code, or at any time after the section has approved the proposal. All applications for state financial assistance for proposed or approved facilities and programs shall be made on forms that are prescribed and furnished by the department of rehabilitation and correction, and in accordance with section 5120.112 of the Revised Code.
The judicial corrections board may submit a request for funding of some or all of its community-based correctional facilities and programs or district community-based correctional facilities and programs to the board of county commissioners of the county, if the judicial corrections board serves a community-based correctional facility and program, or to the boards of county commissioners of all of the member counties, if the judicial corrections board serves a district community-based correctional facility and program. The board or boards may appropriate, but are not required to appropriate, a sum of money for funding all aspects of each facility and program as outlined in sections 2301.51 to 2301.56 of the Revised Code. The judicial corrections board has no recourse against a board or boards of county commissioners, either under Chapter 2731. of the Revised Code, under its contempt power, or under any other authority, if the board or boards of county commissioners do not appropriate money for funding any facility or program or if they appropriate money for funding a facility and program in an amount less than the total amount of the submitted request for funding.
(B)(1) A Pursuant to section 2929.37 of the Revised Code, a board of county commissioners may require a person who was convicted of an offense and who is confined in a community-based correctional facility or district community-based correctional facility as provided in sections 2301.51 to 2301.56 of the Revised Code, to reimburse the county for its expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement, including, but not limited to, the expenses relating to the provision of food, clothing, shelter, medical care, personal hygiene products, including, but not limited to, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and feminine hygiene items, and up to two hours of overtime costs the sheriff or municipal corporation incurred relating to the trial of the person. The amount of reimbursement may be the actual cost of the person's confinement plus the authorized trial overtime costs or a lesser amount determined by the board of county commissioners for the county, provided that the lesser amount shall be determined by a formula that is uniformly applied to persons incarcerated in the facility. The amount of reimbursement shall be determined by a court at a hearing held pursuant to section 2929.18 of the Revised Code if the person is confined for a felony or section 2929.223 of the Revised Code if the person is confined for a misdemeanor. The amount or amounts paid in reimbursement by a person confined for a misdemeanor or the amount recovered from a person confined for a misdemeanor by executing upon the judgment obtained pursuant to section 2929.223 of the Revised Code shall be paid into the treasury of the county that incurred the expenses. If a person is confined for a felony and the court imposes a sanction under section 2929.18 of the Revised Code that requires the person to reimburse the costs of confinement, the prosecuting attorney shall bring an action to recover the expenses of confinement in accordance with section 2929.18 of the Revised Code.
(2) A board of county commissioners may adopt a resolution specifying that a person who is convicted of a felony and who is confined in a community-based correctional facility or district community-based correctional facility as provided in sections 2301.51 to 2301.56 of the Revised Code is not required to reimburse the county for its expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement, including the expenses listed in division (B)(1) of this section. If the board adopts a resolution of that nature, the board shall provide a copy to the court of common pleas of the county, and the court that sentences a person convicted of a felony shall not impose a sanction under section 2929.18 of the Revised Code that requires the person to reimburse the costs of the confinement.
(C) In lieu of requiring offenders to reimburse the political subdivision for expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement pursuant to division (B) of this section, the board or boards of county commissioners, acting jointly with the judicial corrections board, may adopt a prisoner reimbursement policy for the community-based correctional facility under this division to be administered under the direction of the director of the facility. The director may appoint a reimbursement coordinator to administer the facility's prisoner reimbursement policy. A prisoner reimbursement policy adopted under this division is a policy that requires a person confined to the facility to reimburse the county or counties for any expenses it incurs by reason of the person's confinement in the facility, which expenses may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) A per diem fee for room and board of not more than sixty dollars per day or the actual per diem cost, whichever is less, for the entire period of time the person is confined to the facility;
(2) Actual charges for medical and dental treatment;
(3) Reimbursement for government property damaged by the person while confined to the facility.
Rates charged shall be on a sliding scale determined by the director with the approval of the judicial corrections board based on the ability of the person confined to the facility to pay and on consideration of any legal obligation of the person to support a spouse, minor children, or other dependents and any moral obligation to support dependents to whom the person is providing or has in fact provided support.
The reimbursement coordinator or another person designated by the director may investigate the financial status of the confined person and obtain information necessary to investigate that status, by means that may include contacting employers and reviewing income tax records. The coordinator may work with the confined person to create a repayment plan to be implemented upon the person's release. At the end of the person's incarceration, the person shall be presented with a billing statement signed by the director.
The reimbursement coordinator or another person designated by the director may collect, or the judicial corrections board may enter into a contract with one or more public agencies or private vendors to collect, any amounts remaining unpaid. Within twelve months after the date of the confined person's release, the prosecuting attorney may file a civil action in the name of the state in the court of common pleas of the county in which the facility is located to seek reimbursement from that person for any billing amount that remains unpaid. No judgment obtained under this section shall be enforced by means of execution against the person's homestead. For purposes of this section, "homestead" has the same meaning as in division (A) of section 323.151 of the Revised Code. Any reimbursement received under this section shall be credited to the general fund of the county that bore the expense, to be used for general fund purposes.
(D)(1) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223, 2929.21, 2929.36, or 2929.37 of the Revised Code, the judicial corrections board may establish a policy that complies with section 2929.38 of the Revised Code and that requires any person who is not indigent and who is confined in the community-based correctional facility or district community-based correctional facility to pay a reasonable reception fee or a fee for any medical treatment or service requested by and provided to that person. This fee shall not exceed the actual cost of the treatment or service provided. No person confined to a community-based correctional facility or district community-based correctional facility who is indigent shall be required to pay those fees, and no person confined to any facility of that type shall be denied any necessary medical care because of inability to pay those fees.
Upon provision of the requested medical treatment or service, payment of the required fee may be automatically deducted from a person's account record in the facility's business office. If the person has no funds in the person's account, a deduction may be made at a later date during the person's confinement in the facility if funds later become available in that person's account. If the person is released from the facility and has an unpaid balance of these fees, the judicial corrections board may bill the person for payment of the remaining unpaid fees. Fees received for medical treatment or services shall be paid into the commissary fund, if one has been created for the facility, or if no such fund exists, into the county treasury of the county that actually paid for the treatment or service.
(2) If a person confined to a community-based correctional facility or district community-based correctional facility is required under division (B) or (C) of this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223 of the Revised Code to reimburse the county for expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement to the facility, any fees paid by the person under division (D)(1) of this section shall be deducted from the expenses required to be reimbursed under division (B) or (C) of this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223 of the Revised Code.
(E)(D) If a person who has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to an offense is confined in a community-based correctional facility or district community-based correctional facility, at the time of reception and at other times the person in charge of the operation of the facility determines to be appropriate, the person in charge of the operation of the facility may cause the convicted offender to be examined and tested for tuberculosis, HIV infection, hepatitis, including but not limited to hepatitis A, B, and C, and other contagious diseases. The person in charge of the operation of the facility may cause a convicted offender in the facility who refuses to be tested or treated for tuberculosis, HIV infection, hepatitis, including but not limited to hepatitis A, B, and C, or another contagious disease to be tested and treated involuntarily.
Sec. 2929.18.  (A) Except as otherwise provided in this division and in addition to imposing court costs pursuant to section 2947.23 of the Revised Code, the court imposing a sentence upon an offender for a felony may sentence the offender to any financial sanction or combination of financial sanctions authorized under this section or, in the circumstances specified in section 2929.25 of the Revised Code, may impose upon the offender a fine in accordance with that section. If the offender is sentenced to a sanction of confinement pursuant to section 2929.14 or 2929.16 of the Revised Code that is to be served in a facility operated by a board of county commissioners, a legislative authority of a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity, the court imposing sentence upon an offender for a felony shall comply with division (A)(4)(b) of this section in determining whether to sentence the offender to a financial sanction described in division (A)(4)(a) of this section.

If reimbursement to third parties is required, the reimbursement shall be made to any governmental agency to repay any amounts paid by the agency to or on behalf of the victim or any survivor of the victim for economic loss resulting from the offense before any reimbursement is made to any person other than a governmental agency. If no governmental agency incurred expenses for economic loss of the victim or any survivor of the victim resulting from the offense, the reimbursement shall be made to any person other than a governmental agency to repay amounts paid by that person to or on behalf of the victim or any survivor of the victim for economic loss of the victim resulting from the offense. The court shall not require an offender to repay an insurance company for any amounts the company paid on behalf of the offender pursuant to a policy of insurance. At sentencing, the court shall determine the amount of restitution to be made by the offender. All restitution payments shall be credited against any recovery of economic loss in a civil action brought by the victim or any survivor of the victim against the offender.

Sec. 2929.37.  (A) A board of county commissioners, in an agreement with the sheriff, a legislative authority of a municipal corporation, a corrections commission, a judicial corrections board, or any other public or private entity that operates a local detention facility at which a prisoner who is convicted of an offense and who is confined in the facility under a sanction or term of imprisonment imposed under section 2929.16 or 2929.21 of the Revised Code may adopt, pursuant to section 307.93, 341.14, 341.19, 341.21, 341.23, 753.02, 753.04, 753.16, 2301.56, or 2947.19 of the Revised Code, a policy that requires the prisoner to pay all or part of the costs of confinement in that facility. If a board of county commissioners, legislative authority, corrections commission, judicial corrections board, or other entity adopts a policy for a facility pursuant to one of those sections, the person in charge of that facility shall appoint a reimbursement coordinator to administer the facility's policy.
The costs of confinement may include, but are not limited to, the costs of repairing property damaged by the prisoner while confined, a per diem fee for room and board, medical and dental treatment costs, the fee for a random drug test assessed under division (E) of section 341.26 and division (E) of section 753.33 of the Revised Code, and a one-time reception fee for the costs of processing the prisoner into the facility at the time of the prisoner's initial entry into the facility under the confinement in question, minus any fees deducted under section 2929.38 of the Revised Code. Any policy adopted under this section shall be used when a court does not order reimbursement of confinement costs under section 2929.18 or 2929.36 of the Revised Code. The amount assessed under this section shall not exceed the total amount that the prisoner is able to pay.
(B)(1) Each prisoner covered by a repayment policy adopted as described in division (A) of this section shall receive at the end of the prisoner's confinement an itemized bill of the expenses to be reimbursed. The policy shall allow periodic payments on a schedule to be implemented upon a prisoner's release. The bill also shall state that payment shall be made to the person identified in the bill as the reimbursement coordinator and include a notice that specifies that the prisoner has thirty days in which to dispute the bill by filing a written objection with the reimbursement coordinator and that if the prisoner does not dispute the bill in that manner within that period, the prisoner is required to pay the bill and a certificate of judgment may be obtained against the prisoner for the amount of the unpaid expenses. The prisoner shall sign a copy of the bill, and the reimbursement coordinator shall retain that copy. If the prisoner disputes an item on the bill within thirty days after receiving the bill, the reimbursement coordinator may either concede the disputed item or proceed to a hearing under division (B)(2) of this section.
(2) If the prisoner disputes an item on an itemized bill presented to the prisoner under division (B)(1) of this section and the reimbursement coordinator does not concede the item, the reimbursement coordinator shall submit the bill to the court, and the court shall hold a hearing on the disputed items in the bill. At the end of the hearing, the court shall determine how much of the disputed expenses the prisoner shall reimburse the legislative authority or managing authority and shall issue a judgment in favor of the legislative authority or managing authority for any undisputed expenses and the amount of the disputed expenses for which the prisoner must reimburse the legislative authority or managing authority. The reimbursement coordinator shall not seek to enforce the judgment until at least ninety days after the court issues the judgment.
(C) If a prisoner does not dispute the itemized bill presented to the prisoner under division (B) of this section and does not pay the bill within ninety days, the reimbursement coordinator shall send by mail a notice to the prisoner requesting payment of the expenses as stated in the bill. If the prisoner does not respond to the notice by paying the expenses in full within thirty days of the date the notice was mailed, the reimbursement coordinator shall send by mail a second notice to the prisoner requesting payment of the expenses. If one hundred eighty days elapse from the date that the reimbursement coordinator provides the bill and if the prisoner has not paid the full amount of the expenses pursuant to the bill and the notices, the reimbursement coordinator may notify the clerk of the appropriate court of those facts, and the clerk may issue a certificate of judgment against the prisoner for the balance of the expenses remaining unpaid.
(D) The reimbursement coordinator may collect any amounts remaining unpaid on an itemized bill and any costs associated with the enforcement of the judgment and may enter into a contract with one or more public agencies or private vendors to collect any amounts remaining unpaid. For enforcing a judgment issued under this section, the reimbursement coordinator may assess an additional poundage fee of two per cent of the amount remaining unpaid and may collect costs associated with the enforcement of the judgment.
(E) Neither the reimbursement coordinator nor the legislative authority or the managing authority shall enforce any judgment obtained under this section by means of execution against the prisoner's homestead. Any reimbursement received under this section shall be credited to the general fund of the treasury of the political subdivision that incurred the expense, to be used for general fund purposes.
Sec. 2929.38. (A) A board of commissioners of a county, in an agreement with the sheriff, a legislative authority of a municipal corporation, a corrections commission, a judicial corrections board, or any other public or private entity that operates a local detention facility described in division (A) of section 2929.37 of the Revised Code, may establish a policy that requires any prisoner who is confined in the facility as a result of pleading guilty to or having been convicted of an offense to pay a one-time reception fee for the costs of processing the prisoner into the facility at the time of the prisoner's initial entry into the facility under the confinement in question, to pay a reasonable fee for any medical or dental treatment or service requested by and provided to that prisoner, and to pay the fee for a random drug test assessed under division (E) of section 341.26, and division (E) of section 753.33 of the Revised Code. The fee for the medical treatment or service shall not exceed the actual cost of the treatment or service provided. No prisoner confined in the local detention facility shall be denied any necessary medical care because of inability to pay the fees.
(B) Upon assessment of a one-time reception fee as described in division (A) of this section, the provision of the requested medical treatment or service, or the assessment of a fee for a random drug test, payment of the required fee may be automatically deducted from the prisoner's inmate account in the business office of the local detention facility in which the prisoner is confined. If there is no money in the account, a deduction may be made at a later date during the prisoner's confinement if the money becomes available in the account. If, after release, the prisoner has an unpaid balance of those fees, the sheriff, legislative authority of the municipal corporation, corrections commission, judicial corrections board, or other entity that operates the local detention facility described in division (A) of section 2929.37 of the Revised Code may bill the prisoner for the payment of the unpaid fees. Fees received for medical or dental treatment or services shall be paid to the commissary fund, if one exists for the facility, or if no commissary fund exists, to the general fund of the treasury of the political subdivision that incurred the expenses, in the same proportion as those expenses were borne by the political subdivision.
(C) Any fee paid by a person under this section shall be deducted from any medical or dental costs that the person is ordered to reimburse under section 2929.36 of the Revised Code or to repay under a policy adopted under section 2929.37 of the Revised Code.
(D) As used in this section, "inmate account" has the same meaning as in section 2969.21 of the Revised Code.
Sec. 2947.14.  (A) If a fine is imposed as a sentence or a part of a sentence, the court or magistrate that imposed the fine may order that the offender be committed to the jail or workhouse until the fine is paid or secured to be paid, or he the offender is otherwise legally discharged, if the court or magistrate determines at a hearing that the offender is able, at that time, to pay the fine but refuses to do so. The hearing required by this section shall be conducted at the time of sentencing.
(B) At the hearing, the offender has the right to be represented by counsel and to testify and present evidence as to his the offender's ability to pay the fine. If a court or magistrate determines after considering the evidence presented by an offender, that the offender is able to pay a fine, the determination shall be supported by findings of fact set forth in a judgment entry that indicate the offender's income, assets, and debts, as presented by the offender, and his the offender's ability to pay.
(C) If the court or magistrate has found the offender able to pay a fine at a hearing conducted in compliance with divisions (A) and (B) of this section, and the offender fails to pay the fine, a warrant may be issued for the arrest of the offender. Any offender held in custody pursuant to such an arrest shall be entitled to a hearing on the first regularly scheduled court day following the date of arrest in order to inform the court or magistrate of any change of circumstances that has occurred since the time of sentencing and that affects his the offender's ability to pay the fine. The right to the hearing on any change of circumstances may be waived by the offender.
At the hearing to determine any change of circumstances, the offender has the right to testify and present evidence as to any portion of his the offender's income, assets, or debts that has changed in such a manner as to affect his the offender's ability to pay the fine. If a court or magistrate determines, after considering any evidence presented by the offender, that the offender remains able to pay the fine, that determination shall be supported by a judgment entry that includes findings of fact upon which such a determination is based.
(D) No person shall be ordered to be committed to a jail or workhouse or otherwise be held in custody in satisfaction of a fine imposed as the whole or a part of a sentence except as provided in this section. Any person imprisoned pursuant to this section shall receive credit upon the fine at the rate of thirty fifty dollars per day or fraction of a day. If the unpaid fine is less than thirty fifty dollars, the person shall be imprisoned one day.
(E) No commitment pursuant to this section shall exceed six months.
Sec. 2947.19.  (A) In a county that has no workhouse but in which is located a city that has a workhouse maintained by the city, the board of county commissioners may agree with the proper authorities of that city upon terms under which persons convicted of misdemeanors shall be maintained in the city workhouse at the expense of the county. In the case of persons committed to the city workhouse for the violation of a law of this state, whether the commitment is from the court of common pleas, magistrate's court, or other court, the cost of maintaining those persons committed shall be paid out of the general fund of the county, on the allowance of the board of county commissioners, provided that all persons committed to the city workhouse for the violation of ordinances of the city shall be maintained in that workhouse at the sole cost of the city.
(B)(1) The Pursuant to section 2929.37 of the Revised Code, the board of county commissioners or the legislative authority of the city may require a person who was convicted of an offense and who is confined in the city workhouse as provided in division (A) of this section to reimburse the county or the city, as the case may be, for its expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement, including, but not limited to, the expenses relating to the provision of food, clothing, shelter, medical care, personal hygiene products, including, but not limited to, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and feminine hygiene items, and up to two hours of overtime costs the sheriff or municipal corporation incurred relating to the trial of the person. The amount of reimbursement may be the actual cost of the prisoner's confinement plus the authorized trial overtime costs or a lesser amount determined by the board of county commissioners for the county or the legislative authority of the city, provided that the lesser amount shall be determined by a formula that is uniformly applied to persons incarcerated in the workhouse. The court shall determine the amount of reimbursement at a hearing held pursuant to section 2929.18 of the Revised Code if the person is confined for a felony or section 2929.223 of the Revised Code if the person is confined for a misdemeanor. The amount or amounts paid in reimbursement by a prisoner confined for a misdemeanor or the amount recovered from a prisoner confined for a misdemeanor by executing upon the judgment obtained pursuant to section 2929.223 of the Revised Code shall be paid into the treasury of the county or city that incurred the expenses. If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony and the court imposes a sanction that requires the offender to serve a term in a city workhouse, sections 341.23, 753.02, 753.04, and 753.16 of the Revised Code govern the determination of whether the court may impose a sanction under section 2929.18 of the Revised Code that requires the offender to reimburse the expenses of confinement. If a person is confined for a felony and the court imposes a sanction under section 2929.18 of the Revised Code that requires the offender to reimburse the costs of confinement, the prosecuting attorney of the county or city director of law shall bring an action to recover the expenses of confinement in accordance with section 2929.18 of the Revised Code.
(2) The board of county commissioners or the legislative authority of the city may adopt a resolution or ordinance specifying that a person who is convicted of a felony and who is confined in the city workhouse as provided in division (A) of this section is not required to reimburse the county or city, as the case may be, for its expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement, including the expenses listed in division (B)(1) of this section. If the board or legislative authority adopts a resolution or ordinance of that nature, the court that sentences a person convicted of a felony shall not impose a sanction under section 2929.18 of the Revised Code that requires the person to reimburse the costs of the confinement.
(C) In lieu of requiring offenders to reimburse the county or the city for expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement under division (A) of this section, the board of county commissioners or the legislative authority of the city may adopt a prisoner reimbursement policy for the city workhouse under this division. The workhouse administrator may appoint a reimbursement coordinator to administer the prisoner reimbursement policy. A prisoner reimbursement policy adopted under this division is a policy that requires a person confined to the workhouse to reimburse the county or city for any expenses it incurs by reason of the person's confinement in the workhouse, which expenses may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) A per diem fee for room and board of not more than sixty dollars per day or the actual per diem cost, whichever is less for the entire period of time the person is confined to the workhouse;
(2) Actual charges for medical and dental treatment;
(3) Reimbursement for government property damaged by the person while confined to the workhouse.
Rates charged shall be on a sliding scale determined by the board of county commissioners or the legislative authority of the city, based on the ability of the person confined in the workhouse to pay and on consideration of any legal obligation of the person to support a spouse, minor children, or other dependents and any moral obligation to support dependents to whom the person is providing or has in fact provided support.
The reimbursement coordinator or another person designated by the workhouse administrator may investigate the financial status of the confined person and obtain information necessary to investigate that status, by means that may include contacting employers and reviewing income tax records. The coordinator may work with the confined person to create a repayment plan to be implemented upon the person's release. At the end of the person's incarceration, the person shall be presented with a billing statement.
The reimbursement coordinator or another person designated by the workhouse administrator may collect, or the board of county commissioners or the legislative authority of the city may enter into a contract with one or more public agencies or private vendors to collect, any amounts remaining unpaid. Within twelve months after the date of the confined person's release, the prosecuting attorney or city director of law may file a civil action to seek reimbursement from that person for any billing amount that remains unpaid. The county or city shall not enforce any judgment obtained under this section by means of execution against the person's homestead. For purposes of this section, "homestead" has the same meaning as in division (A) of section 323.151 of the Revised Code. Any reimbursement received under this section shall be credited to the general fund of the county or city that bore the expense, to be used for general fund purposes.
(D)(1) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223, 2929.21, 2929.36, or 2929.37 of the Revised Code, the board of county commissioners or the legislative authority of the city may establish a policy that complies with section 2929.38 of the Revised Code and that requires any person who is not indigent and who is confined in the city workhouse to pay a reasonable reception fee or a fee for any medical treatment or service requested by and provided to that person. This fee shall not exceed the actual cost of the treatment or service provided. No person confined to a city workhouse who is indigent shall be required to pay those fees, and no person confined to a city workhouse shall be denied any necessary medical care because of inability to pay those fees.
Upon provision of the requested medical treatment or service, payment of the required fee may be automatically deducted from a person's account record in the workhouse's business office. If the person has no funds in the person's account, a deduction may be made at a later date during the person's confinement in the workhouse if funds later become available in the person's account. If the person is released from the workhouse and has an unpaid balance of these fees, the board of county commissioners or the legislative authority may bill the person for payment of the remaining unpaid fees. Fees received for medical treatment or services shall be paid into the commissary fund, if one has been created for the workhouse, or if no commissary fund exists, into the county or city treasury.
(2) If a person confined to a city workhouse is required under division (B) of this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223 of the Revised Code to reimburse the county or city for expenses incurred by reason of the person's confinement to the workhouse, any fees paid by the person under division (D)(1) of this section shall be deducted from the expenses required to be reimbursed under division (b) of this section or section 2929.18 or 2929.223 of the Revised Code.
(E)(D) If a person who has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to an offense is confined in the workhouse as provided in division (A) of this section, at the time of reception and at other times the person in charge of the operation of the workhouse determines to be appropriate, the person in charge of the operation of the workhouse may cause the convicted offender to be examined and tested for tuberculosis, HIV infection, hepatitis, including but not limited to hepatitis A, B, and C, and other contagious diseases. The person in charge of the operation of the workhouse may cause a convicted offender in the workhouse who refuses to be tested or treated for tuberculosis, HIV infection, hepatitis, including but not limited to hepatitis A, B, and C, or another contagious disease to be tested and treated involuntarily.

(2) Assessment for damage to or destruction of property in a detention facility subsequent to commitment;
(3) Restitution to an offender or to a staff member of a state correctional institution for theft, loss, or damage to the personal property of the offender or staff member;
(4) The cost of housing and feeding the offender in a detention facility;
(5) The cost of supervision of the offender;
(6) The cost of any ancillary services provided to the offender;
(7) The cost of any medical care provided to the offender.
(E) The cost of housing and feeding an offender in a state correctional institution shall not be collected from a payment made to the offender for performing an activity at a state job or assignment that pays less than the minimum wage or from money the offender receives from visitors, unless the combined assets in the offender's institution personal account exceed, at any time, one hundred dollars. If the combined assets in that account exceed one hundred dollars, the cost of housing and feeding the offender may be collected from the amount in excess of one hundred dollars.
(F)(1) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall adopt rules pursuant to section 111.15 of the Revised Code to implement the requirements of this section.
(2) The rules adopted under division (F)(1) of this section shall include, but are not limited to, rules that establish or contain all of the following:
(a) A process for ascertaining the items of cost to be assessed against an offender;
(b) Subject to division (F)(3) of this section, a process by which the offender shall have the opportunity to respond to the assessment of costs under division (B) of this section and to contest any item of cost in the department's calculation or as it applies to the offender;
(c) A requirement that the offender be notified, in writing, of a final decision to collect or apply the offender's assets under division (B) of this section and that the notification be provided after the offender has had an opportunity to contest the application or collection;
(d) Criteria for evaluating an offender's ongoing, permanent injury and evaluating the ability of that type of offender to provide for the offender after incarceration.
(3) The rules adopted under division (F)(1) of this section may allow the collection of a cost debt as a flat fee or over time in installments. If the cost debt is to be collected over time in installments, the rules are not required to permit the offender an opportunity to contest the assessment of each installment. The rules may establish a standard fee to apply to all offenders who receive a particular service.
(G) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall not collect cost debts or apply offender assets toward a cost debt under division (B) of this section if, due to an ongoing, permanent injury, the collection or application would unjustly limit the offender's ability to provide for the offender after incarceration.
(H) If an offender acquires assets after the offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to an offense and if the transferor knows of the offender's status as an offender, the transferor shall notify the department of rehabilitation and correction in advance of the transfer.
(I) There is hereby created in the state treasury the offender financial responsibility fund. All moneys collected by or on behalf of the department under this section, and all moneys currently in the department's custody that are applied to satisfy an allowable cost debt under this section, shall be deposited into the fund. The department of rehabilitation and correction may expend moneys in the fund for goods and services of the same type as those for which offenders are assessed pursuant to this section.
Sec. 5120.57. (A) For each offender who is in the custody or under the supervision of the department of rehabilitation and correction, the department may make a determination as to whether the offender is covered under an individual or group sickness and accident insurance policy or an individual or group health insuring corporation policy, contract, or agreement. If the offender has coverage of that type, the department shall familiarize itself with the terms and conditions to receive benefits under the policy, contract, or agreement.
(B) If, pursuant to division (A) of this section, it is determined that the offender is covered under an individual or group sickness and accident insurance policy or an individual or group health insuring corporation policy, contract, or agreement and if, while that coverage is in force, the department renders or arranges for the rendering of health care services to the person in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy, contract, or agreement, the department or provider of the health care services, as appropriate under the terms and conditions of the policy, contract, or agreement, may submit a claim for payment for the health care services to the appropriate third-party payer. If the policy holder is the offender, the offender shall be required to assign payment of benefits directly to the provider or department, as appropriate. If the policy holder is not the offender, the policy holder shall be asked to voluntarily provide policy information and assign payments directly to the provider or department, as appropriate. The department shall provide the third-party payer with a copy of the assignment of benefits by the policy holder. The policy holder and the third-party payer shall make all arrangements necessary to ensure that payment of any amount due on the claim is made to the provider or department as specified in the assignment. The department shall remain ultimately responsible for payment of all health care services provided to an offender in the custody or under the supervision of the department but shall be the payer of last resort. If the department pays a provider for health care services rendered to an offender and payment subsequently is made for the same services by a third-party payer, the provider shall refund the duplicate payment to the department and, the department shall deposit the refunded payment into the offender financial responsibility fund as described in division (E) of this section.
(C) If, pursuant to division (A) of this section, it is determined that the offender is covered under an individual or group sickness and accident insurance policy or an individual or group health insuring corporation policy, contract, or agreement, the department shall make a determination, after considering security, public safety, and transportation issues, whether or not to render or arrange for the rendering of health care services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy, contract, or agreement. The department, based on security, public safety, or transportation concerns or any combination of those concerns, may arrange for the rendering of health care services for the offender at a health care facility, by a provider, or at a health care facility and by a provider not covered by the policy, contract, or agreement and pay the costs of the health care services for the offender.
(D) If the department renders or arranges for the rendering of health care services to an offender and pays for the services, the department reserves the right to seek reimbursement from a third-party payer for the services if it subsequently is determined that the offender was covered under an individual or group sickness and accident insurance policy or an individual or group health insuring corporation policy, contract, or agreement. The department shall submit a claim for reimbursement of the type described in this division within the time frames applicable to claims submitted by a policy holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy, contract, or agreement.
(E) Any payment made to the department pursuant to division (B) of this section shall be deposited into the offender financial responsibility fund created in section 5120.56 of the Revised Code.
(F) If, at the time the department arranges for health care services for an offender and a provider renders those services, the department determines pursuant to division (A) of this section that the offender is covered, or potentially is covered, under an individual or group sickness and accident insurance policy or an individual or group health insuring corporation policy, contract, or agreement, then all of the following apply:
(1) The department is responsible for any cost-sharing, co-payments, or deductibles required under the policy, contract, or agreement.
(2) If the insurer or potential insurer denies the claim for payment, the department remains liable for payment to the provider of services.
(3) If an insurer covers a service, but the amount the insurer pays to the provider is less than the amount negotiated and established by contract then in effect between the department and the provider, the department is liable for reimbursing the difference to the provider.
(G) Nothing in this section requires a third-party payer to reimburse any provider or the department for health care services not covered under the terms or conditions of an individual or group sickness and accident insurance policy, an individual or group health insuring corporation policy, contract, or agreement, or any other policy, contract, or agreement.
Sec. 5120.58. The department of rehabilitation and correction shall adopt rules under section 111.15 of the Revised Code to do both of the following:
(A) Establish a schedule of health care benefits that are available to offenders who are in the custody or under the supervision of the department;
(B) Establish a program to encourage the utilization of preventive health care services by offenders.
Section 2. That existing sections 307.93, 341.14, 341.19, 341.21, 341.23, 341.26, 753.02, 753.04, 753.16, 2152.20, 2301.56, 2929.18, 2929.19, 2929.21, 2947.14, 2947.19, 2949.111, 3924.53, and 5120.56 and sections 341.06 and 2929.223 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.
Section 3. (A) The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction shall examine the feasibility and desirability of purchasing insurance coverage to protect against unpredictable or catastrophic losses that may be incurred by the state in the provision of health care services to offenders who are in the custody or under the supervision of the Department. Not later than six months after the effective date of this act, the Department shall report its findings and any recommendations to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Senate, and the chairs of the standing committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate that have primary jurisdiction over issues related to the Department.
(B) The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction shall develop specifications for a utilization review program under which the clinical necessity, appropriateness, efficacy, or efficiency of any outside health care service recommended for an offender may be evaluated by an external utilization review organization. The Department shall request proposals for the provision of services of that nature. The request for proposals shall adequately describe the specifications developed by the Department. Within six months after the effective date of this section, the Department shall report the responses to the request for proposals to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Senate, and the chairs of the standing committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate that have primary jurisdiction over issues related to the Department. The Department is not required to enter into a contract for the provision of that nature unless money has been appropriated to the Department adequate to fund the provision of services of that nature.
Section 4.  Section 2929.18 of the Revised Code is presented in this act as a composite of the section as amended by Am. H.B. 528, Am. Sub. S.B. 22, and Am. Sub. S.B. 107 of the 123rd General Assembly. The General Assembly, applying the principle stated in division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised Code that amendments are to be harmonized if reasonably capable of simultaneous operation, finds that the composite is the resulting version of the section in effect prior to the effective date of the section as presented in this act.
