the Revised Code had the offender been charged with and convicted
of a violation of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code instead of a

specified in the court
order from operating any
motor vehicle that is not equipped with
an immobilizing or
disabling device. The date of commencement and
the
date of termination of the period of suspension shall be

Code, shall publish and make
available to the
courts, without
charge, a list of
licensed manufacturers of ignition interlock
devices and approved devices together with
information about the
manufacturers
of the devices and where they
may be obtained. The
manufacturer of an
immobilizing or disabling
device shall pay the
cost of
obtaining the certification of the
device
to the director
of
public safety, and the director shall
deposit the payment in
the drivers'
treatment and
intervention
fund established by
sections 4511.19 and 4511.191 of
the Revised
Code.
(2) The director of public safety, in accordance with
Chapter
119. of the Revised Code, shall adopt and publish rules
setting
forth the requirements for obtaining the certification of
an
immobilizing or disabling device. The director of public
safety
shall not
certify an immobilizing or disabling
device under
this
section unless it meets the requirements specified and
published
by the director in the rules adopted pursuant to this
division. A
certified device may consist of an
ignition interlock
device, an
ignition blocking device initiated
by time or magnetic
or
electronic encoding, an activity monitor,
or any other device
that
reasonably assures compliance with an
order granting limited
driving privileges. Ignition interlock devices shall be certified
annually.
The requirements for an immobilizing or disabling device that
is
an ignition interlock device shall include provisions for
setting a
minimum and maximum calibration range and shall include,
but shall not
be limited to, specifications that the device
complies with all of
the following:
(a)
It does not impede the safe operation of the vehicle.
(b)
It has features that make circumvention difficult and
that do
not interfere with the normal use of the vehicle.
(c)
It correlates well with established measures of alcohol
impairment.
(d)
It works accurately and reliably in an unsupervised
environment.
(e)
It is resistant to tampering and shows evidence of
tampering
if tampering is attempted.
(f)
It is difficult to circumvent and requires premeditation
to
do so.
(g)
It minimizes inconvenience to a sober user.
(h)
It requires a proper, deep-lung breath sample or other
accurate measure of the concentration by weight of alcohol in the
breath.
(i)
It operates reliably over the range of automobile
environments.
(j)
It is made by a manufacturer who is covered by product
liability insurance.
(3) The director of public safety may adopt, in whole or in
part,
the guidelines, rules, regulations, studies, or independent
laboratory
tests performed and relied upon by other states, or
their agencies or
commissions, in the certification or approval of
immobilizing or
disabling devices.
(4) The director of public safety shall adopt rules in
accordance
with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code for the
design of
a warning
label that shall be affixed to each immobilizing or
disabling
device upon installation. The label shall contain a
warning that
any person tampering, circumventing, or otherwise
misusing the
device is subject to a fine, imprisonment, or both
and may be
subject to civil liability.
(B)
A court considering the use of a prototype device in a
pilot
program shall advise the director of public safety, thirty
days before the
use, of the prototype device and its protocol,
methodology, manufacturer, and licensor, lessor, other agent, or
owner, and the length of the court's pilot program. A prototype
device shall not be used for a violation of section 4510.14
or
4511.19 of the Revised Code, a violation of a municipal OVI
ordinance, or in relation to a
suspension
imposed under section
4511.191 of the Revised
Code. A court that
uses a prototype
device
in a pilot program,
periodically during
the existence of
the
program and within fourteen days
after
termination of the
program,
shall report in writing to the
director of
public safety
regarding
the effectiveness of the
prototype device and the
program.
(C)
If a person has been
granted limited driving privileges
with a condition of the privileges being
that the motor vehicle
that is
operated under the privileges must be equipped with an
immobilizing or
disabling device, the person may operate a motor
vehicle that is owned by the person's employer only if the
person
is
required to operate that motor vehicle
in the course and
scope
of the offender's employment. Such a person may operate
that
vehicle without the installation of an immobilizing or
disabling
device, provided that the employer has been notified
that the
person has limited driving privileges and of the nature
of the
restriction and further provided that the person has proof of the
employer's
notification in the person's possession while
operating
the
employer's vehicle for normal business duties. A
motor vehicle
owned by a business that is partly or entirely owned
or controlled
by a person with limited driving privileges is
not a motor vehicle
owned by an employer, for purposes of this
division.

fund created by section 4511.191 of the Revised Code.
(3) Upon receipt of a completed application, if the
department finds that a manufacturer has complied with all
application requirements, the department shall issue a license to
the manufacturer. A manufacturer that has been issued a license
under this section is eligible immediately to have the models of
ignition interlock devices it produces certified under section
4510.43 of the Revised Code and then included on the list of
certified devices that the department compiles and makes available
to courts pursuant to that section.
(4)(a) A license issued under this section shall expire
annually on a date selected by the department. The department
shall reject the license application of a manufacturer if any of
the following apply:
(i) The application is not accompanied by the application
fee.
(ii) The department finds that the manufacturer has not
complied with all application requirements.
(iii) The license application is a renewal application and
the manufacturer failed to file the annual report or to pay its
profit tax as required by division (B) of this section.
(b) A manufacturer whose license application is rejected by
the department may appeal the decision to the director of public
safety. The director or the director's designee shall hold a
hearing on the matter not more than thirty days from the date of
the manufacturer's appeal. If the director or the director's
designee upholds the denial of the manufacturer's application for
a license, the manufacturer may appeal the decision to the
Franklin county court of common pleas. If the director or the
director's designee reverses the denial of the manufacturer's
application for a license, the director or the director's designee
shall issue a written order directing that the department issue a
license to the manufacturer.
(B) Every manufacturer of ignition interlock devices that is
issued a license under this section shall file an annual report
with the department on a form the department prescribes on or
before a date the department prescribes. The annual report shall
state the amount of net profit the manufacturer earned during a
twelve-month period specified by the department that is
attributable to the sales of that manufacturer's certified
ignition interlock devices to purchasers in this state. Each
manufacturer also shall include with its annual report a profit
tax equal to five per cent of the amount of the net profit
described in this division.
The department may permit annual reports to be filed via
electronic means.
(C) The department shall deposit all profits tax money it
receives from manufacturers under this section into the state
treasury to the credit of the indigent drivers alcohol treatment
fund created by section 4511.191 of the Revised Code. All money so
deposited into that fund that is paid by the department of alcohol
and drug addiction services to county indigent drivers alcohol
treatment funds, county juvenile indigent drivers alcohol
treatment funds, and municipal indigent drivers alcohol treatment
funds shall be used only as described in division (H)(3)(c) of
section 4511.191 of the Revised Code.
(D) The profit tax imposed by this section is in addition to
any other tax imposed by this state.
(E)(1) The director may make an assessment, based on any
information in the director's possession, against any manufacturer
that fails to file its annual report or to pay any or all of its
profit tax as required by this section. The director, in
accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, shall adopt
rules governing asssessments and assessment procedures and related
provisions. In adopting these rules, the director shall
incorporate the provisions of section 5751.09 of the Revised Code
to the greatest extent possible, except that the director is not
required to incorporate any provisions of that section that by
their nature are not applicable, appropriate, or necessary to
assessments made by the director under this section.
(2) A manufacturer may appeal the final determination of the
director regarding an assessment made by the director under this
section. The director, in accordance with Chapter 119. of the
Revised Code, shall adopt rules governing such appeals. In
adopting these rules, the director shall incorporate the
provisions of section 5717.02 of the Revised Code to the greatest
extent possible, except that the director is not required to
incorporate any provisions of that section that by their nature
are not applicable, appropriate, or necessary to appeals of
assessments made by the director under this section.
(F) The director, in accordance with Chapter 119. of the
Revised Code, shall adopt a penalty schedule setting forth the
monetary penalties to be imposed upon a manufacturer that is
issued a license under this section and fails to file its annual
report or to pay its profit tax in a timely manner. The penalty
amounts shall not exceed the maximum penalty amounts established
in section 5751.06 of the Revised Code for similar or equivalent
facts or circumstances.
(G)(1) No manufacturer of ignition interlock devices that is
required by division (B) of this section to file an annual report
with the department or to pay the profit tax shall fail to do so
as required by that division.
(2) No manufacturer of ignition interlock devices that is
required by division (B) of this section to file an annual report
with the department shall file a report that contains incorrect or
erroneous information.
(H) Whoever violates division (G)(2) of this section is
guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree. The department shall
remove from the list of certified devices described in division
(A)(1) of this section the ignition interlock devices manufactured
by a manufacturer that violates division (G)(1) or (2) of this
section.
Sec. 4510.46. (A) A governmental agency, bureau, department,
or office, or a private corporation, or any other entity that
monitors certified ignition interlock devices for or on behalf of
a court shall inform the court whenever such a device that has
been installed in a motor vehicle indicates that it has prevented
an offender whose driver's or commercial driver's license or
permit or nonresident operating privilege has been suspended by a
court under division (G)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) of section
4511.19 of the Revised Code and who has been granted limited
driving privileges under section 4510.13 of the Revised Code from
starting the motor vehicle because the analysis of the deep-lung
breath sample or other method employed by the ignition interlock
device to measure the concentration by weight of alcohol in the
offender's breath indicated the presence of alcohol in the
offender's breath in a concentration sufficient to prevent the
ignition interlock device from permitting the motor vehicle to be
started.
(B) Upon receipt of such information, the court shall send a
notice to the offender stating that it has received evidence of an
instance described in division (A) of this section. The notice
shall further state that because of this instance, the court is
required to increase the period of suspension of the offender's
driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident
operating privilege from that originally imposed by the court by a
factor of two and to increase the period of time during which the
offender will be prohibited from exercising any limited driving
privileges granted to the offender unless the vehicles the
offender operates are equipped with a certified ignition interlock
device by a factor of two.
The notice shall state that these increases will take effect
fourteen days from the date of the notice unless the offender
files a timely motion with the court, appealing the increases in
time described in this division and requesting a hearing on the
matter. Any such motion that is filed within that fourteen day
period shall be considered to be filed in a timely manner, and any
such motion that is filed after that fourteen day period shall be
considered not to be filed in a timely manner. If the offender
files a timely motion, the court shall hold a hearing on the
matter. The scope of the hearing is limited to determining whether
the offender in fact was prevented from starting a motor vehicle
that is equipped with a certified ignition interlock device
because the analysis of the deep-lung breath sample or other
method employed by the ignition interlock device to measure the
concentration by weight of alcohol in the offender's breath
indicated the presence of alcohol in the offender's breath in a
concentration sufficient to prevent the ignition interlock device
from permitting the motor vehicle to be started.
If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that
this instance as indicated by the ignition interlock device in
fact did occur, it shall deny the offender's appeal and issue the
order increasing the relevant periods of time described in this
division. If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence
that this instance as indicated by the ignition interlock device
in fact did not occur, it shall grant the offender's appeal and no
such order shall be issued.
(C) In no case shall any period of suspension of an
offender's driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or
nonresident operating privilege that is increased by a factor of
two or any period of time during which the offender is prohibited
from exercising any limited driving privileges granted to the
offender unless the vehicles the offender operates are equipped
with a certified ignition interlock device that is increased by a
factor of two exceed the maximum period of time for which the
court originally was authorized to suspend the offender's driver's
or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating
privilege under division (G)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) of
section 4511.19 of the Revised Code.

these
divisions.
(D)(1)(a) In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court
proceeding for a violation of division (A)(1)(a) of this section
or for an equivalent offense, the result of any test of any blood
or urine withdrawn and analyzed at any health care provider, as
defined in section 2317.02 of the Revised Code, may be admitted
with expert testimony to be considered with any other relevant and
competent evidence in determining the guilt or innocence of the
defendant.
(b) In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court
proceeding
for a violation of
division (A) or (B) of this section
or for an
equivalent
offense, the court may admit
evidence on the
concentration of
alcohol, drugs of abuse, controlled substances,
metabolites of a controlled substance, or
a combination of
them in
the
defendant's
whole blood,
blood serum or plasma,
breath, urine,
or
other bodily
substance at the time of the
alleged violation as
shown by
chemical analysis of the
substance
withdrawn within
three hours of
the time of
the alleged violation. The three-hour
time limit specified in this division regarding the admission of
evidence does not extend or affect the two-hour time limit
specified in division (A) of section 4511.192 of the Revised Code
as the maximum period of time during which a person may consent to
a chemical test or tests as described in that section. The court
may admit evidence on the concentration of alcohol, drugs of

or blood plasma.
This
limitation does
not
apply to the taking of breath or urine
specimens. A
person
authorized to withdraw blood under
this
division may
refuse to
withdraw blood
under this division, if in
that person's
opinion,
the physical welfare of
the person would
be
endangered by the
withdrawing of blood.
The bodily substance
withdrawn under division (D)(1)(b) of
this section shall be analyzed in
accordance with
methods approved
by the director of health by an
individual
possessing a valid
permit issued by the director
pursuant to section 3701.143 of the
Revised Code.
(2) In a criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding
for a violation of division (A) of this section
or for an
equivalent offense, if there was at the time the
bodily substance
was
withdrawn a concentration of less than
the
applicable
concentration of alcohol specified in
divisions (A)(1)(b), (c),
(d), and (e) of this section or less than the applicable
concentration of a listed controlled substance or a listed
metabolite of a controlled substance specified for a violation of
division (A)(1)(j) of this section, that fact
may be considered
with other
competent evidence
in determining the guilt or
innocence of the
defendant. This
division does not limit or
affect
a criminal
prosecution or
juvenile court proceeding for a
violation of
division (B) of this
section or
for an equivalent
offense that
is
substantially
equivalent to
that
division.
(3) Upon the request of the person who was tested, the
results of the chemical test shall be made available to the
person
or the person's
attorney, immediately upon the completion
of the
chemical test analysis.
If the chemical test was obtained pursuant to division
(D)(1)(b) of this section, the person tested may have a physician,
a registered nurse,
or a qualified technician, chemist,
or
phlebotomist of the
person's own
choosing administer a chemical
test or tests,
at the
person's
expense, in addition to any
administered at the request
of a
law enforcement
officer.
The
form
to be read to the person
to be tested, as required
under
section
4511.192 of the Revised
Code, shall state that the person
may have
an
independent test
performed at the person's expense.
The failure
or
inability to
obtain an additional
chemical test by
a person
shall not preclude
the admission of
evidence relating to
the
chemical test or tests
taken at the
request of a
law
enforcement
officer.
(4)(a) As used in divisions (D)(4)(b) and (c) of this
section, "national highway traffic safety administration" means
the national highway traffic safety administration established as
an administration of the United States department of
transportation under 96 Stat. 2415 (1983), 49 U.S.C.A. 105.
(b) In any criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding
for a violation of division (A) or (B) of this section, of a
municipal ordinance relating to operating a vehicle while under
the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or alcohol and a drug
of abuse, or of a municipal ordinance relating to operating a
vehicle with a prohibited concentration of alcohol, a controlled
substance, or a metabolite of a controlled substance in the blood,
breath, or urine, if a law enforcement officer has administered a
field sobriety test to the operator of the vehicle involved in the
violation and if it is shown by clear and convincing evidence that
the officer administered the test in substantial
compliance with
the testing standards for any reliable, credible,
and generally
accepted field sobriety
tests that were in effect at
the time the
tests were administered, including, but not limited
to, any
testing standards then in effect that were set by the
national
highway traffic safety administration, all
of the
following apply:
(i) The officer may testify concerning the results of the
field sobriety test so administered.
(ii) The prosecution may introduce the results of the field
sobriety test so administered as evidence in any proceedings in
the criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding.
(iii) If testimony is presented or evidence is introduced
under division (D)(4)(b)(i) or (ii) of this section and if the
testimony or evidence is admissible under the Rules of Evidence,
the court shall admit the testimony or evidence and the trier of
fact shall give it whatever weight the trier of fact considers to
be appropriate.
(c) Division (D)(4)(b) of this section does not limit or
preclude a court, in its determination of whether the arrest of a
person was supported by probable cause or its determination of any
other matter in a criminal prosecution or juvenile court
proceeding of a type described in that division, from considering
evidence or testimony that is not otherwise disallowed by division
(D)(4)(b) of this section.
(E)(1)
Subject to division (E)(3) of
this section,
in any
criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding for a
violation
of
division (A)(1)(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), or (j)
or
(B)(1), (2), (3), or
(4) of this
section or for an equivalent
offense that is substantially equivalent to any
of those
divisions, a laboratory report from any
laboratory
personnel
issued a permit by the department of health authorizing an
analysis as described in this division that
contains an analysis
of
the whole blood, blood serum or plasma,
breath, urine, or other
bodily substance tested and that contains
all of the information
specified in this division shall be
admitted as prima-facie
evidence of the information and statements
that the report
contains. The laboratory report shall contain all
of the
following:
(a)
The signature, under oath, of any person who performed
the
analysis;

Any findings as to the identity and quantity of alcohol,
a
drug of abuse, a controlled substance, a metabolite of a
controlled substance, or a combination of them that was found;
(c)
A copy of a notarized statement by the laboratory
director or
a designee of the director that contains the name of
each certified analyst or test performer involved with the
report,
the analyst's or test performer's employment relationship
with the
laboratory that issued the report, and a notation that
performing
an analysis of the type involved is part of the
analyst's or test
performer's regular duties;
(d)
An outline of the analyst's or test performer's
education,
training, and experience in performing the type of
analysis involved and a
certification that the laboratory
satisfies appropriate quality control standards in general and, in
this
particular analysis, under rules of the
department of health.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law regarding the
admission of
evidence, a report of the type described
in division
(E)(1) of this section is not admissible against the
defendant to
whom
it pertains in any proceeding, other than a preliminary
hearing or a grand
jury proceeding, unless the prosecutor
has
served a
copy of the report on the defendant's attorney or, if the
defendant has no attorney, on the defendant.
(3) A report of the type described in division (E)(1) of
this
section shall not be prima-facie evidence of the contents,
identity, or amount
of any substance if, within seven days after
the
defendant to whom the report pertains or the defendant's
attorney
receives a copy of the report, the defendant or the
defendant's
attorney demands the testimony of the person who
signed the
report. The judge in the case may extend the seven-day
time limit
in the interest of justice.
(F) Except as otherwise provided in this division, any
physician, registered nurse, or qualified
technician, chemist,
or
phlebotomist who
withdraws blood from a person pursuant
to this
section, and any hospital, first-aid station, or clinic
at which
blood is withdrawn from a person pursuant to this
section, is
immune from criminal liability and
civil
liability
based upon a
claim of assault and battery or
any other
claim that is not
a
claim
of malpractice, for any
act performed in withdrawing blood
from
the person.
The immunity
provided in this division is not
available to a
person who
withdraws blood if the person engages in
willful or wanton
misconduct.
(G)(1) Whoever violates any provision of divisions
(A)(1)(a)
to
(i) or (A)(2) of this section is
guilty of
operating a vehicle
under the
influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or a
combination
of them.
Whoever violates division (A)(1)(j) of this section is
guilty of operating a vehicle while under the influence of a
listed controlled substance or a listed metabolite of a controlled
substance. The court shall sentence the offender for either
offense under
Chapter 2929. of the
Revised Code, except as
otherwise
authorized or required by
divisions (G)(1)(a)
to (e)
of
this section:
(a)
Except as otherwise provided in division
(G)(1)(b), (c),
(d),
or (e) of this section, the offender is guilty of a
misdemeanor of
the first degree, and the court shall sentence the
offender to all of the
following:
(i)
If the sentence is being imposed for a violation of
division
(A)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), or (j) of this section, a
mandatory jail term
of three consecutive days. As used in
this
division, three consecutive days means seventy-two consecutive
hours.
The court
may sentence an offender to both an
intervention
program and a jail term. The court may impose a jail
term in
addition to the three-day mandatory jail term or intervention
program. However,
in no case shall the cumulative jail term
imposed for the offense
exceed six months.
The court may suspend the execution of the
three-day jail
term under this division if the court, in lieu of that
suspended
term, places the offender under a community control sanction
pursuant to section 2929.25 of the Revised Code and requires the
offender
to
attend, for three consecutive days, a
drivers'
intervention
program certified under section 3793.10 of the
Revised Code.
The
court also may suspend the execution of any
part of the
three-day
jail term under this division if it places
the offender under a community control sanction pursuant to
section 2929.25 of the Revised Code for part of the three days,
requires the offender to
attend for the suspended part of the term
a drivers' intervention
program so certified, and sentences the
offender to a jail term
equal to the remainder of the three
consecutive days that the
offender does not spend attending the
program. The court may
require the offender, as a condition of
community control and in addition
to the required attendance at a
drivers' intervention program, to
attend and satisfactorily
complete any treatment or education
programs that comply with the
minimum standards adopted pursuant
to Chapter 3793. of the Revised
Code by the director of alcohol
and drug addiction services that
the operators of the drivers'
intervention program determine that
the offender should attend and
to report periodically to the court
on the offender's progress in
the programs. The court also may
impose on the offender any other
conditions of community control
that it considers necessary.
(ii)
If Except as provided in division (G)(1)(a)(ii) of this
section, if the sentence is being imposed for a violation of
division
(A)(1)(f), (g), (h), or (i) or division (A)(2) of this
section, except as
otherwise provided in
this division, a
mandatory jail term of at
least three consecutive
days and a
requirement that the offender
attend, for three
consecutive days,
a drivers' intervention
program that is
certified pursuant to
section 3793.10 of the
Revised Code. As
used in this division,
three consecutive days
means seventy-two consecutive
hours. If the
court determines that
the offender is not
conducive to treatment
in a drivers'
intervention program, if the
offender refuses to
attend a drivers'
intervention program, or if the jail at
which
the offender is to
serve the jail term imposed can provide a
driver's intervention
program, the court shall sentence the
offender to a mandatory jail
term of at least six consecutive
days.
The court may require the offender, under a community control
sanction imposed under section 2929.25 of the Revised Code,
to
attend and satisfactorily complete any treatment or
education
programs that comply with the minimum standards adopted
pursuant
to
Chapter 3793. of the Revised Code by the director of
alcohol
and drug addiction services, in addition to the required
attendance at
drivers' intervention program, that the operators of
the drivers' intervention
program determine that
the offender
should attend and to report periodically to the court
on the
offender's progress in the programs. The court also may
impose
any
other conditions of community control on the offender that it
considers necessary.
As an alternative to being sentenced by the court to a
mandatory jail term of at least three consecutive days and a
requirement that the offender attend a certified driver's
intervention program under division (G)(1)(a)(ii) of this section,
the court shall permit the offender to elect to serve no jail term
and to attend a certified driver's intervention program. If the
offender makes such a choice, the court, in addition to any other
penalty provided or permitted by law, shall suspend the offender's
driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident
operating privilege for a period of not less than two hundred
seventy days as prescribed in division (G)(1)(a)(iv) of this
section.
(iii)
In all cases,
a fine of not less than two hundred
fifty
and not more than one
thousand dollars;
(iv)

person who is convicted of, or found to be a juvenile traffic
offender by reason of, a violation of division (A) of section
4511.19 of the Revised Code or a substantially similar municipal
ordinance, who is ordered by the court to attend the alcohol and
drug addiction treatment program, and who is determined by the
court to be unable to pay the cost of attendance at the
treatment
program or for payment of the costs specified in division
(H)(4)
of this section in accordance with that division. The
alcohol and
drug addiction services board or the board of alcohol,
drug
addiction, and
mental health services established pursuant to
section 340.02 or
340.021 of
the Revised Code and serving the
alcohol, drug addiction, and mental
health service district in
which the court is located shall
administer the indigent drivers
alcohol treatment program of the
court. When a court orders an
offender or juvenile traffic
offender to attend an alcohol and
drug addiction treatment
program, the board shall determine which
program is suitable to
meet the needs of the offender or juvenile
traffic offender, and
when a suitable program is located and space
is available at the
program, the offender or juvenile traffic
offender shall attend
the program designated by the board. A
reasonable amount not to
exceed five per cent of the amounts
credited to and deposited
into the county indigent drivers alcohol
treatment fund, the
county juvenile indigent drivers alcohol
treatment fund, or the
municipal indigent drivers alcohol
treatment fund serving every
court whose program is administered
by that board shall be paid
to the board to cover the costs it
incurs in administering those
indigent drivers alcohol treatment
programs.
In addition, a (b) A county, juvenile, or municipal court
judge also may use moneys in the county indigent drivers alcohol
treatment fund, county juvenile indigent drivers alcohol treatment
fund, or municipal indigent drivers alcohol treatment fund to pay
for the continued use of an electronic continuous alcohol
monitoring device by an offender or juvenile traffic offender, in
conjunction with a treatment program approved by the department of
alcohol and drug addiction services, when such use is determined
clinically necessary by the treatment program and when the court
determines that the offender or juvenile traffic offender is
unable to pay all or part of the daily monitoring of the device.
(c) In addition, a county or municipal court judge shall use
moneys in the county indigent drivers alcohol treatment fund or
municipal indigent drivers alcohol treatment fund to pay all or
part of the costs associated with the acquisition, installation,
and maintenance of an ignition interlock device by an offender who
pleads guilty to or is convicted of a violation of division (A) of
section 4511.19 of the Revised Code or a substantially similar
municipal ordinance, is granted limited driving privileges, and is
required by the court or the Revised Code to operate only a motor
vehicle that is equipped with an approved ignition interlock
device while exercising the limited driving privileges. The judge
shall approve such an expenditure from the county indigent drivers
alcohol treatment fund or municipal indigent drivers alcohol
treatment fund, as the case may be, to pay the costs described in
division (H)(3)(c) of this section only if the court determines
that the offender is unable to pay all or part of such costs.
(4) If a county, juvenile, or municipal court determines, in
consultation with the alcohol and drug addiction services board or
the board
of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services
established pursuant to
section 340.02 or 340.021 of the Revised
Code
and serving the alcohol, drug addiction, and
mental health
district in which the court is located, that
the funds in the
county indigent drivers alcohol treatment fund, the county
juvenile indigent drivers alcohol treatment fund, or the municipal
indigent
drivers alcohol treatment fund under the control of the
court are more than
sufficient to satisfy the purpose for which
the fund was established, as
specified in divisions
(H)(1) to
(3)
of this section, the
court may declare a surplus in the fund.
If
the court declares a surplus in
the fund, the court may expend
the
amount of the surplus in the fund for:
(a) Alcohol and drug abuse
assessment and treatment of
persons who are charged in
the court
with committing a criminal
offense or with being a delinquent
child
or juvenile traffic
offender and in relation to whom both of
the following
apply:
(i) The court determines that substance abuse was a
contributing factor leading to the criminal or delinquent activity
or the
juvenile traffic offense with which the person is charged.
(ii) The court determines that the person is unable
to pay
the cost of the alcohol and drug abuse assessment and treatment
for
which the surplus money will be used.
(b) All or part of the cost of purchasing electronic
continuous alcohol monitoring devices to be used in conjunction
with division (H)(3) of this section.
Section 2. That existing sections 4510.13, 4510.43, 4511.19,
and 4511.191 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.
