A BILLTo amend sections 2901.11, 2901.12, and 2923.01 and to enact section 2913.421 of the Revised Code to prohibit a person from transmitting multiple electronic mail advertisements, falsifying the originating address or other routing information in multiple electronic mail advertisements, or falsifying registration information for multiple electronic mail accounts, and to prohibit unauthorized access to a public computer to transmit multiple electronic mail advertisements. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 2901.11, 2901.12, and 2923.01 be amended and section 2913.421 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 2901.11. (A) A person is subject to criminal
prosecution and punishment in this state if any of the following
occur: (1) The person commits an offense under the laws of this
state, any element of which takes place in this state. (2) While in this state, the person conspires or attempts to
commit, or is guilty of complicity in the commission of, an
offense in another jurisdiction, which offense is an offense
under both the laws of this state and the other
jurisdiction. (3) While out of this state, the person conspires or
attempts to commit, or is guilty of complicity in the commission of, an
offense in this state. (4) While out of this state, the person omits to perform a
legal
duty imposed by the laws of this state, which omission affects a
legitimate interest of the state in protecting, governing, or
regulating any person, property, thing, transaction, or activity
in this state. (5) While out of this state, the person unlawfully takes or
retains property and subsequently brings any of the unlawfully
taken or retained property into this state. (6) While out of this state, the person unlawfully takes or
entices another and subsequently brings the other person
into this state. (7) The person, by means
of a computer, computer system, computer network, protected computer,
telecommunication, telecommunications device,
telecommunications service, or information service, causes or knowingly
permits any writing, data,
image, or other telecommunication to be disseminated or transmitted into this
state in violation of the law of this state. (B) In homicide, the element referred to in division
(A)(1) of this section is either the act that causes
death, or
the physical contact that causes death, or the death
itself. If
any part of the body of a homicide victim is found in this state,
the death is presumed to have occurred within this state. (C)(1) This state includes the land and water within its
boundaries and the air space above that land and water, with
respect to which this state has either exclusive or concurrent
legislative jurisdiction. Where the boundary between this state
and another state or foreign country is disputed, the disputed
territory is conclusively presumed to be within this state for
purposes of this section. (2) The courts of common pleas of Adams, Athens, Belmont,
Brown, Clermont, Columbiana, Gallia, Hamilton, Jefferson,
Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Scioto, and Washington counties have
jurisdiction beyond the north or northwest shore of the Ohio
river extending to the opposite shore line, between the extended
boundary lines of any adjacent counties or adjacent state. Each
of those courts of common pleas has concurrent jurisdiction on
the Ohio river with any adjacent court of common pleas that
borders on that river and with any court of Kentucky or of West
Virginia that borders on the Ohio river and that has jurisdiction
on the Ohio river under the law of Kentucky or the law of West
Virginia, whichever is applicable, or under federal law. (D) When an offense is committed under the laws of this
state, and it appears beyond a reasonable doubt that the offense
or any element of the offense took place either in
this state or in another
jurisdiction or jurisdictions, but it cannot reasonably be
determined in which it took place, the offense or element
is
conclusively presumed to have taken place in this state for
purposes of this section. (E) As used in this section, "computer," "computer
system," "computer network," "protected computer," "information service," "telecommunication,"
"telecommunications device," "telecommunications service," "data," and
"writing" have the same meanings as in section sections 2913.01 and 2913.421 of the Revised Code.
Sec. 2901.12. (A) The trial of a criminal case in this
state shall be held in a court having jurisdiction of the subject
matter, and in the territory of which the offense or any element
of the offense was committed. (B) When the offense or any element of the offense was
committed in an aircraft, motor vehicle, train, watercraft, or
other vehicle, in transit, and it cannot reasonably be determined
in which jurisdiction the offense was committed, the offender may
be tried in any jurisdiction through which the aircraft, motor
vehicle, train, watercraft, or other vehicle passed. (C) When the offense involved the unlawful taking or
receiving of property or the unlawful taking or enticing of
another, the offender may be tried in any jurisdiction from which
or into which the property or victim was taken, received, or
enticed. (D) When the offense is conspiracy, attempt, or complicity
cognizable under division (A)(2) of section 2901.11 of the
Revised Code, the offender may be tried in any jurisdiction in
which the conspiracy, attempt, complicity, or any of its elements
occurred. (E) When the offense is conspiracy or attempt cognizable
under division (A)(3) of section 2901.11 of the Revised Code, the
offender may be tried in any jurisdiction in which the offense
that was the object of the conspiracy or attempt, or any element
of that offense, was intended to or could have taken
place. When the
offense is complicity cognizable under division (A)(3) of section
2901.11 of the Revised Code, the offender may be tried in any
jurisdiction in which the principal offender may be tried. (F) When an offense is considered to have been committed
in this state while the offender was out of this state, and the
jurisdiction in this state in which the offense or any material
element of the offense was committed is not reasonably
ascertainable, the offender may be tried in any jurisdiction in
which the offense or element reasonably could have been
committed. (G) When it appears beyond a reasonable doubt that an
offense or any element of an offense was committed in any of two
or more jurisdictions, but it cannot reasonably be determined in
which jurisdiction the offense or element was committed, the
offender may be tried in any of those
jurisdictions. (H) When an offender, as part of a course of criminal
conduct, commits offenses in different jurisdictions, the
offender may be
tried for all of those offenses in any jurisdiction in which one
of those offenses or any element of one of those offenses
occurred. Without limitation on the evidence that may be used to
establish the course of criminal conduct, any of the
following is prima-facie evidence of a course of criminal conduct: (1) The offenses involved the same victim, or victims of
the same type or from the same group. (2) The offenses were committed by the offender in the
offender's
same employment, or capacity, or relationship to another. (3) The offenses were committed as part of the same
transaction or chain of events, or in furtherance of the same
purpose or objective. (4) The offenses were committed in furtherance of the same
conspiracy. (5) The offenses involved the same or a similar modus
operandi. (6) The offenses were committed along the offender's line
of travel in this state, regardless of the offender's point
of origin or
destination. (I)(1) When the offense involves a computer, computer
system, computer network, protected computer, telecommunication, telecommunications
device, telecommunications service, or information service, the
offender may be tried in any jurisdiction containing any location of the
computer, computer
system, protected computer, or computer network of the victim of the offense,
in any jurisdiction from which or into which, as part of
the offense, any writing, data, or image is disseminated or
transmitted by means of a computer, computer system, computer
network, protected computer, telecommunication, telecommunications device,
telecommunications service, or information service, or in
any
jurisdiction in which the alleged offender commits any activity
that is an essential part of the offense. (2) As used in this section, "computer," "computer
system," "protected computer," "computer network," "information
service,"
"telecommunication," "telecommunications device," "telecommunications
service," "data," and
"writing" have
the same meanings as
in section sections 2913.01 and 2913.421 of the Revised Code. (J) When the offense involves the death of a person, and
it cannot reasonably be determined in which jurisdiction the
offense was committed, the offender may be tried in the
jurisdiction in which the dead person's body or any part of the
dead person's body was found. (K) Notwithstanding any other requirement for the place of
trial, venue may be changed, upon motion of the prosecution, the
defense, or the court, to any court having jurisdiction of the
subject matter outside the county in which trial otherwise would
be held, when it appears that a fair and impartial trial cannot
be held in the jurisdiction in which trial otherwise would be
held, or when it appears that trial should be held in another
jurisdiction for the convenience of the parties and in the
interests of justice.

(4) "Domain name" means any alphanumeric designation that is registered with or assigned by any domain name registrar, domain name registry, or other domain name registration authority, and that is included in an electronic mail message.

(14) "Multiple" means more than ten electronic mail messages during a twenty-four-hour period, more than one hundred electronic mail messages during a thirty-day period, or more than one thousand messages during a one-year period.
(15) "Protected computer" means any of the following: (a) A computer exclusively for the use of state government or a financial institution; (b) A computer used by or for state government or a financial institution when the conduct constituting the violation of division (B) of this section affects that use by or for the state government or financial institution; (c) A computer that is used in intrastate or interstate communication.

L. No. 108-187, but not in both courts. The civil action brought pursuant to a violation of section 2913.421 of the Revised Code may be commenced at any time within one year of the date after the act that is the basis of the civil action.
(2) In a civil action brought by the attorney general pursuant to division (D)(1) of this section for a violation of this section, the court may award temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief. The court may also impose a civil penalty against the offender in an amount not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars for each day a violation occurs, or not less than two dollars but not more than eight dollars for each electronic mail advertisement that is initiated in violation of this section, as the court considers just.

(3) To render lawful any policy that is unlawful under any other provision of law. Sec. 2923.01. (A) No person, with purpose to commit or to
promote or facilitate the commission of aggravated murder,
murder,
kidnapping, compelling prostitution, promoting
prostitution,
aggravated arson, arson, aggravated robbery,
robbery, aggravated
burglary, burglary, engaging in a pattern of
corrupt activity,
corrupting another with drugs, a felony drug trafficking,
manufacturing, processing, or possession offense, theft of drugs,
or
illegal processing of drug documents, the commission of a
felony offense of
unauthorized use of a vehicle, illegally transmitting multiple electronic mail advertisements in violation of section 2923.421 of the Revised Code, or
the commission
of a violation of any provision of Chapter 3734.
of the Revised
Code, other than section 3734.18 of the Revised
Code, that relates
to hazardous wastes, shall do either of the
following: (1) With another person or persons, plan or aid in
planning
the commission of any of the specified
offenses; (2) Agree with another person or persons that one or more
of
them will engage in conduct that facilitates the commission of
any
of the specified offenses. (B) No person shall be convicted of conspiracy unless a
substantial overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy is alleged
and proved to have been done by the accused or a person with
whom
the accused conspired, subsequent to the accused's entrance into
the
conspiracy. For purposes of this section, an overt act is
substantial when it is of a character that manifests a purpose
on
the part of the actor that the object of the conspiracy should
be
completed. (C) When the offender knows or has reasonable cause to
believe that a person with whom the offender conspires also has
conspired
or is conspiring with another to commit the same
offense,
the offender is guilty of conspiring with that other
person, even
though the other person's identity may be unknown to
the
offender. (D) It is no defense to a charge under this section that,
in
retrospect, commission of the offense that was the object of
the
conspiracy was impossible under the circumstances. (E) A conspiracy terminates when the offense or offenses
that are its objects are committed or when it is abandoned by
all
conspirators. In the absence of abandonment, it is no
defense to
a charge under this section that no offense that was
the object of
the conspiracy was committed. (F) A person who conspires to commit more than one offense
is guilty of only one conspiracy, when the offenses are the
object
of the same agreement or continuous conspiratorial
relationship. (G) When a person is convicted of committing or attempting
to commit a specific offense or of complicity in the commission
of
or attempt to commit the specific offense, the person
shall not be
convicted of conspiracy involving the same offense. (H)(1) No person shall be convicted of conspiracy upon the
testimony of a person with whom the defendant conspired,
unsupported by other evidence. (2) If a person with whom the defendant allegedly has
conspired testifies against the defendant in a case in which the
defendant is charged with conspiracy and if the testimony is
supported by other evidence, the court, when it charges the jury,
shall state substantially the following: "The testimony of an accomplice that is supported by other
evidence does not become inadmissible because of the
accomplice's
complicity,
moral turpitude, or self-interest, but the admitted or
claimed
complicity of a witness may affect the witness'
credibility
and make the witness' testimony subject to grave
suspicion,
and require that it be
weighed with great caution. It is for you, as jurors, in the light of all the facts
presented to you from the witness stand, to evaluate such
testimony and to determine its quality and worth or its lack of
quality and worth." (3)
"Conspiracy," as used in division (H)(1) of this
section,
does not include any conspiracy that results in an
attempt to
commit an offense or in the commission of an offense. (I) The following are affirmative defenses to a charge of
conspiracy: (1) After conspiring to commit an offense, the actor
thwarted the success of the conspiracy under circumstances
manifesting a complete and voluntary renunciation of the
actor's
criminal
purpose. (2) After conspiring to commit an offense, the actor
abandoned the conspiracy prior to the commission of or attempt to
commit any offense that was the object of the conspiracy, either
by advising all other conspirators of the actor's
abandonment, or
by
informing any law enforcement authority of the existence of the
conspiracy and of the actor's participation in the
conspiracy. (J) Whoever violates this section is guilty of conspiracy,
which is one of the following: (1) A felony of the first degree, when one of the objects
of
the conspiracy is aggravated murder, murder, or
an offense for
which the maximum penalty is imprisonment for life; (2) A felony of the next lesser degree than the most
serious
offense that is the object of the conspiracy, when the
most
serious offense that is the object of the conspiracy is a
felony
of the first, second, third, or
fourth degree; (3) A felony punishable by a fine of not more
than
twenty-five thousand dollars or imprisonment for not more than
eighteen months, or both, when the offense that is the object of
the conspiracy is a violation of any provision of Chapter 3734.
of
the Revised Code, other than section 3734.18 of the Revised
Code,
that relates to hazardous wastes; (4) A misdemeanor of the first degree, when
the most
serious
offense that is the object of the conspiracy is a felony
of the
fifth degree. (K) This section does not define a separate conspiracy
offense or penalty where conspiracy is defined as an offense by
one or more sections of the Revised Code, other than this
section.
In such a case, however: (1) With respect to the offense specified as the object of
the conspiracy in the other section or sections, division (A) of
this section defines the voluntary act or acts and culpable
mental
state necessary to constitute the conspiracy; (2) Divisions (B) to (I) of this section are incorporated
by
reference in the conspiracy offense defined by the other
section
or sections of the Revised Code. (L)(1) In addition to the penalties that otherwise are
imposed
for conspiracy, a person who is found guilty of
conspiracy
to engage in a pattern of corrupt activity is subject
to divisions
(B)(2), (3), (4), and (5) of section 2923.32 of the
Revised Code. (2) If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to
conspiracy and if the most serious offense that is the object of
the
conspiracy is a felony drug trafficking, manufacturing,
processing, or
possession offense, in addition to the penalties or
sanctions that may be
imposed for the conspiracy under division
(J)(2) or (4) of this section and
Chapter 2929. of the Revised
Code, both of the following apply: (a) The provisions of divisions (D), (F), and (G) of section
2925.03,
division (D) of section 2925.04, division (D) of section
2925.05, division (D)
of section 2925.06, and division (E) of
section 2925.11 of the Revised Code
that pertain to mandatory and
additional fines, driver's or commercial
driver's license or
permit
suspensions, and
professionally
licensed
persons
and that
would apply under the appropriate
provisions of
those
divisions to
a person who is convicted of or
pleads guilty to the felony drug
trafficking, manufacturing,
processing, or possession offense that
is the most
serious offense
that is the basis of the conspiracy
shall apply to
the person who
is convicted of or pleads guilty to
the conspiracy as if the
person had been convicted of or pleaded
guilty to the felony drug
trafficking,
manufacturing, processing,
or possession offense that
is the most serious
offense that is the
basis of the conspiracy. (b) The court that imposes sentence upon the person
who is
convicted of or pleads guilty to the conspiracy shall comply with
the
provisions identified as being applicable under division
(L)(2) of this section, in addition to any
other penalty or
sanction that it imposes for the conspiracy under division
(J)(2)
or (4) of this section and Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code. (M) As used in this section: (1)
"Felony drug trafficking, manufacturing,
processing, or
possession offense" means any of the following that
is a
felony: (a) A violation of section 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, or
2925.06 of
the Revised Code; (b) A violation of section 2925.11 of the Revised Code
that
is not a minor drug possession offense. (2)
"Minor drug possession offense" has the same meaning as
in
section 2925.01 of the Revised Code.
Section 2. That existing sections 2901.11, 2901.12, and 2923.01 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.
