the Revised Code, with the suspension continuing until the child	452
attends and satisfactorily completes a drug abuse or alcohol abuse	453
education, intervention, or treatment program specified by the	454
court. During the time the child is attending the program, the	455
court shall retain any temporary instruction permit, probationary	456
driver's license, or driver's license issued to the child, and the	457
court shall return the permit or license when the child	458
satisfactorily completes the program.	459

(C) The court may establish a victim-offender mediation	460
program in which victims and their offenders meet to discuss the	461
offense and suggest possible restitution. If the court obtains	462
the assent of the victim of the delinquent act committed by the	463
child, the court may require the child to participate in the	464
program.	465

(D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for	466
committing an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult	467
and if the child caused, attempted to cause, threatened to cause,	468
or created a risk of physical harm to the victim of the act, the	469
court, prior to issuing an order of disposition under this	470
section, shall order the preparation of a victim impact statement	471
by the probation department of the county in which the victim of	472
the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a	473
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county,	474
a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity. The court	475
shall consider the victim impact statement in determining the	476
order of disposition to issue for the child.	477

(2) Each victim impact statement shall identify the victim	478
of the act for which the child was adjudicated a delinquent child,	479
itemize any economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of	480
the act, identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a	481
result of the act and the seriousness and permanence of the	482
injury, identify any change in the victim's personal welfare or	483
familial relationships as a result of the act and any	484
psychological impact experienced by the victim or the victim's	485
family as a result of the act, and contain any other information	486
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the court	487
requires.	488

(3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and	489
is not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of	490
the statement to the department of youth services if the	491
delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the	492
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's	493
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact	494
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to	495
this section shall be kept confidential and is not a public	496
record. If an officer is preparing pursuant to section 2947.06 or	497
2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 a presentence	498
investigation report pertaining to a person, the court shall make	499
available to the officer, for use in preparing the report, a copy	500
of any victim impact statement regarding that person. The copies	501
of a victim impact statement that are made available to the	502
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's	503
counsel and the prosecuting attorney pursuant to this division	504
shall be returned to the court by the person to whom they were	505
made available immediately following the imposition of an order of	506
disposition for the child under this chapter.	507

The copy of a victim impact statement that is made available	508
pursuant to this division to an officer preparing a criminal	509
presentence investigation report shall be returned to the court by	510
the officer immediately following its use in preparing the report.	511

(4) The department of youth services shall work with local	512
probation departments and victim assistance programs to develop a	513
standard victim impact statement.	514

(E) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a	515
chronic truant or an habitual truant who previously has been	516
adjudicated an unruly child for being an habitual truant and the	517
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having	518
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at	519
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in	520
addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section,	521
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having	522
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as	523
an unruly or delinquent child for being an habitual or chronic	524
truant may result in a criminal charge against the parent,	525
guardian, or other person having care of the child for a violation	526
of division (C) of section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the	527
Revised Code.	528

(F)(1) During the period of a delinquent child's community	529
control granted under this section, authorized probation officers	530
who are engaged within the scope of their supervisory duties or	531
responsibilities may search, with or without a warrant, the person	532
of the delinquent child, the place of residence of the delinquent	533
child, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or intangible	534
personal property, or other real property in which the delinquent	535
child has a right, title, or interest or for which the delinquent	536
child has the express or implied permission of a person with a	537
right, title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the	538
probation officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the	539
delinquent child is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not	540
complying with the conditions of the delinquent child's community	541
control. The court that places a delinquent child on community	542
control under this section shall provide the delinquent child with	543
a written notice that informs the delinquent child that authorized	544
probation officers who are engaged within the scope of their	545
supervisory duties or responsibilities may conduct those types of	546
searches during the period of community control if they have	547
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is not	548
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the	549
conditions of the delinquent child's community control. The court	550
also shall provide the written notice described in division (E)(2)	551
of this section to each parent, guardian, or custodian of the	552
delinquent child who is described in that division.	553

(2) The court that places a child on community control under	554
this section shall provide the child's parent, guardian, or other	555
custodian with a written notice that informs them that authorized	556
probation officers may conduct searches pursuant to division	557
(E)(1) of this section. The notice shall specifically state that	558
a permissible search might extend to a motor vehicle, another item	559
of tangible or intangible personal property, or a place of	560
residence or other real property in which a notified parent,	561
guardian, or custodian has a right, title, or interest and that	562
the parent, guardian, or custodian expressly or impliedly permits	563
the child to use, occupy, or possess.	564

Sec.  2152.71.  (A)(1) The juvenile court shall maintain	565
records of all official cases brought before it, including, but	566
not limited to, an appearance docket, a journal, and, in cases	567
pertaining to an alleged delinquent child, arrest and custody	568
records, complaints, journal entries, and hearing summaries. The	569
court shall maintain a separate docket for traffic cases and shall	570
record all traffic cases on the separate docket instead of on the	571
general appearance docket.	572

(2) The juvenile court shall send to the superintendent of	573
the bureau of criminal identification and investigation, pursuant	574
to section 109.57 of the Revised Code, a weekly report containing	575
a summary of each case that has come before it and that involves	576

or division (A)(2) of section 2159.19 of the Revised Code to any	613
facility for delinquent children operated by the county, a	614

the Revised Code.	621

(C) The clerk of the court shall compile an annual summary	622
covering the preceding calendar year showing all of the	623
information for that year contained in the statistical record	624

prepare an annual report covering the preceding calendar year	630
showing the number and kinds of cases that have come before it,	631
the disposition of the cases, and any other data pertaining to the	632

those adjudications. The records to be made available pursuant to	648
this division include, but are not limited to, any social history	649
or report of a mental or physical examination regarding the person	650
that was prepared pursuant to Juvenile Rule 32.	651

Sec. 2951.03.  (A)(1) No person who has been convicted of or	652
pleaded guilty to a felony shall be placed under a community	653
control sanction until a written presentence investigation report	654

preparation of a presentence investigation report pursuant to this	656
section, section 2947.06 of the Revised Code, or Criminal Rule	657
32.2, the officer making the report shall inquire into the	658
circumstances of the offense and the criminal record, social	659
history, and present condition of the defendant, all information	660
available regarding any prior adjudications of the defendant as a	661
delinquent child and regarding the dispositions made relative to	662
those adjudications, and any other matters specified in Criminal	663
Rule 32.2. Whenever the officer considers it advisable, the	664
officer's investigation may include a physical and mental	665
examination of the defendant. A physical examination of the	666
defendant may include a drug test consisting of a chemical	667
analysis of a blood or urine specimen of the defendant to	668
determine whether the defendant ingested or was injected with a	669
drug of abuse. If, pursuant to section 2930.13 of the Revised	670
Code, the victim of the offense of which the defendant has been	671
convicted wishes to make a statement regarding the impact of the	672
offense for the officer's use in preparing the presentence	673
investigation report, the officer shall comply with the	674
requirements of that section.	675

(2) If a defendant is committed to any institution, the	676
presentence investigation report shall be sent to the institution	677
with the entry of commitment. If a defendant is committed to any	678
institution and a presentence investigation report is not prepared	679
regarding that defendant pursuant to this section, section 2947.06	680
of the Revised Code, or Criminal Rule 32.2, the director of the	681
department of rehabilitation and correction or the director's	682
designee may order that an offender background investigation and	683
report be conducted and prepared regarding the defendant pursuant	684
to section 5120.16 of the Revised Code.	685

(B)(1) If a presentence investigation report is prepared	686
pursuant to this section, section 2947.06 of the Revised Code, or	687
Criminal Rule 32.2, the court, at a reasonable time before	688
imposing sentence, shall permit the defendant or the defendant's	689
counsel to read the report, except that the court shall not permit	690
the defendant or the defendant's counsel to read any of the	691
following:	692

(a) Any recommendation as to sentence;

693

(b) Any diagnostic opinions that, if disclosed, the court	694
believes might seriously disrupt a program of rehabilitation for	695
the defendant;	696

(c) Any sources of information obtained upon a promise of	697
confidentiality;	698

(d) Any other information that, if disclosed, the court	699
believes might result in physical harm or some other type of harm	700
to the defendant or to any other person.	701

(2) Prior to sentencing, the court shall permit the	702
defendant and the defendant's counsel to comment on the	703
presentence investigation report and, in its discretion, may	704
permit the defendant and the defendant's counsel to introduce	705
testimony or other information that relates to any alleged factual	706
inaccuracy contained in the report.	707

(3) If the court believes that any information in the	708
presentence investigation report should not be disclosed pursuant	709
to division (B)(1) of this section, the court, in lieu of making	710
the report or any part of the report available, shall state orally	711
or in writing a summary of the factual information contained in	712
the report that will be relied upon in determining the defendant's	713
sentence. The court shall permit the defendant and the	714
defendant's counsel to comment upon the oral or written summary of	715
the report.	716

(4) Any material that is disclosed to the defendant or the	717
defendant's counsel pursuant to this section shall be disclosed to	718
the prosecutor who is handling the prosecution of the case against	719
the defendant.	720

(5) If the comments of the defendant or the defendant's	721
counsel, the testimony they introduce, or any of the other	722
information they introduce alleges any factual inaccuracy in the	723
presentence investigation report or the summary of the report, the	724
court shall do either of the following with respect to each	725
alleged factual inaccuracy:	726

(a) Make a finding as to the allegation;

727

(b) Make a determination that no finding is necessary with	728
respect to the allegation, because the factual matter will not be	729
taken into account in the sentencing of the defendant.	730

(C) A court's decision as to the content of a summary under	731
division (B)(3) of this section or as to the withholding of	732
information under division (B)(1)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of this	733
section shall be considered to be within the discretion of the	734
court. No appeal can be taken from either of those decisions, and	735
neither of those decisions shall be the basis for a reversal of	736
the sentence imposed.	737

(D)(1) The contents of a presentence investigation report	738
prepared pursuant to this section, section 2947.06 of the Revised	739
Code, or Criminal Rule 32.2 and the contents of any written or	740
oral summary of a presentence investigation report or of a part of	741
a presentence investigation report described in division (B)(3) of	742
this section are confidential information and are not a public	743
record. The court, an appellate court, authorized probation	744
officers, investigators, and court personnel, the defendant, the	745
defendant's counsel, the prosecutor who is handling the	746
prosecution of the case against the defendant, and authorized	747
personnel of an institution to which the defendant is committed	748
may inspect, receive copies of, retain copies of, and use a	749
presentence investigation report or a written or oral summary of a	750
presentence investigation only for the purposes of or only as	751
authorized by Criminal Rule 32.2 or this section, division (F)(1)	752
of section 2953.08, section 2947.06, or another section of the	753
Revised Code.	754

(2) Immediately following the imposition of sentence upon	755
the defendant, the defendant or the defendant's counsel and the	756
prosecutor shall return to the court all copies of a presentence	757
investigation report and of any written summary of a presentence	758
investigation report or part of a presentence investigation report	759
that the court made available to the defendant or the defendant's	760
counsel and to the prosecutor pursuant to this section. The	761
defendant or the defendant's counsel and the prosecutor shall not	762
make any copies of the presentence investigation report or of any	763
written summary of a presentence investigation report or part of a	764
presentence investigation report that the court made available to	765
them pursuant to this section.	766

(3) Except when a presentence investigation report or a	767
written or oral summary of a presentence investigation report is	768
being used for the purposes of or as authorized by Criminal Rule	769
32.2 or this section, division (F)(1) of section 2953.08, section	770
2947.06, or another section of the Revised Code, the court or	771
other authorized holder of the report or summary shall retain the	772
report or summary under seal.	773

(E) In inquiring into the information available regarding any	774
prior adjudications of the defendant as a delinquent child and	775
regarding the dispositions made relative to those adjudications,	776
the officer making the report shall consider all information that	777
is relevant, including, but not limited to, the materials	778
described in division (B) of section 2151.14, division (C)(3) of	779
section 2152.18, division (D)(3) of section 2152.19, and division	780
