To amend sections 4503.234, 4507.164, 4510.13, 4511.19, 4511.193, and 4511.203 and to enact section 4511.198 of the Revised Code to increase certain penalties for repeat OVI offenders and to remove from the motor vehicle wrongful entrustment statute the requirement that the offender know or have reasonable cause to believe that the person to whom the offender provides a motor vehicle does not have a valid driver's license in order for a violation of that statute to occur.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 4503.234, 4507.164, 4510.13, 4511.19, 4511.193, and 4511.203 be amended and section 4511.198 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows: Sec. 4503.234. (A) If a court is required by section
4503.233, 4503.236,
4510.11, 4510.14, 4510.16, 4510.41, 4511.19,
4511.193,
or
4511.203 of the Revised Code to order the
criminal
forfeiture of a
vehicle, the order shall be
issued and
enforced in
accordance with
this division, subject to
division
(B) of this
section.
An
order
of criminal forfeiture issued under this
division
shall
authorize
an appropriate law enforcement agency to
seize
the
vehicle ordered
criminally forfeited upon the terms and
conditions
that the
court
determines proper. No vehicle ordered
criminally
forfeited
pursuant to this division shall be considered
contraband
for
purposes of section 2933.41, 2933.42, or 2933.43 of
the
Revised
Code, but
the law enforcement agency that
employs
the
officer who
seized it
shall hold the vehicle for
disposal in
accordance with
this
section. A forfeiture order may
be
issued
only after the
offender has been provided
with an opportunity to
be heard. The
prosecuting attorney shall
give the
offender
written
notice of
the possibility
of forfeiture by sending a copy
of the relevant
uniform traffic
ticket or other written notice to
the
offender
not
less
than seven days prior to the date of
issuance of the
forfeiture order. A
vehicle is subject to
an
order of criminal
forfeiture pursuant to this division upon
the
conviction of the
offender
of or plea of guilty by the offender to
a violation of
division (A) of section 4503.236,
section
4510.11, 4510.14,
4510.16,
or
4511.203, or division (A) of section
4511.19
of the
Revised Code,
or a municipal
ordinance that is
substantially
equivalent to
any of those sections or
divisions. (B)(1) Prior to the issuance of an order of criminal
forfeiture pursuant to
this section, the law
enforcement agency
that employs the law enforcement officer who
seized the vehicle
shall
conduct or cause to be conducted a search
of the
appropriate
public records that relate to the vehicle and
shall
make or cause
to be made reasonably diligent inquiries to
identify any
lienholder or
any person or entity with an ownership
interest in
the
vehicle. The court that is to issue the
forfeiture
order also
shall cause a notice of the potential
order
relative to the
vehicle and of the expected
manner of disposition
of the vehicle
after its forfeiture to be
sent to any lienholder
or person who is
known to
the court to have any right, title, or
interest in the
vehicle. The court shall give the notice
by
certified mail,
return receipt requested, or by personal service. (2) No order of criminal
forfeiture shall be issued pursuant
to
this section if
a lienholder or other person
with an ownership
interest in the
vehicle establishes to the
court, by a
preponderance of the evidence
after filing a motion
with the
court,
that the lienholder or other
person neither
knew nor
should
have known after a reasonable
inquiry that the
vehicle
would be used or involved,
or likely
would be used
or
involved, in
the violation resulting in the issuance of the
order
of criminal
forfeiture or the violation of the order of
immobilization issued
under section 4503.233 of
the Revised Code,
that the lienholder or
other
person did not
expressly or
impliedly consent
to the use or
involvement of the vehicle in that
violation, and that the
lien or
ownership interest was
perfected
pursuant
to law prior to the
seizure of the vehicle under section
4503.236,
4510.41, 4511.195,
or
4511.203 of the
Revised
Code. If the lienholder or holder of
the
ownership
interest satisfies the court that these
criteria
have been met,
the court shall preserve
the lienholder's or other
person's lien or
interest, and the court either shall return the
vehicle to the holder,
or shall order that the
proceeds of any
sale
held
pursuant to division
(C)(2)
of this section be paid to
the
lienholder or
holder of the
interest less the costs of
seizure, storage, and maintenance of
the vehicle. The court shall
not
return a vehicle to a lienholder
or a holder of an ownership
interest
unless the
lienholder or holder submits an affidavit
to
the court that states that the lienholder or holder will not
return the vehicle to the person from whom the vehicle was seized
pursuant to the order of criminal forfeiture or to any member of
that person's family and will not otherwise knowingly permit that
person or any member of that person's family to obtain
possession
of the
vehicle. (3) No order of criminal
forfeiture shall be issued pursuant
to
this section if
a person
with an interest in
the vehicle
establishes to the court, by a
preponderance of the
evidence after
filing a motion with the court,
that the person
neither knew nor
should have known after a
reasonable
inquiry that
the vehicle had
been used or was involved in the
violation
resulting in the
issuance of the order of criminal
forfeiture or
the violation of
the order of immobilization issued under
section
4503.233 of the
Revised Code,
that the person did not expressly or
impliedly
consent to the
use or
involvement of the vehicle in that
violation, that the interest was perfected
in
good faith and for
value pursuant to law between the time of the arrest of the
offender and the final disposition of the criminal charge in
question, and that the vehicle was in the possession of the
interest holder at the time of the perfection of
the
interest. If
the court is satisfied that the interest
holder has
met these
criteria, the court shall preserve
the
interest holder's
interest, and the court either
shall return the
vehicle to the
interest holder
or order that the
proceeds of any
sale held
pursuant to division
(C) of
this section be paid
to the holder of
the interest less the costs
of seizure, storage, and maintenance
of the
vehicle. The court
shall not return a vehicle to an
interest holder
unless the holder
submits an affidavit to
the
court stating
that the holder will not return the vehicle to
the
person from
whom the holder acquired
the
holder's
interest, nor
to any member
of that person's family, and the
holder will not
otherwise
knowingly permit that person or any
member of that
person's
family to
obtain possession of the
vehicle. (C) A vehicle ordered criminally forfeited to the state
pursuant to
this section shall
be disposed of as
follows: (1) It shall be given to the law enforcement agency
that
employs the law enforcement officer who seized the
vehicle, if
that agency desires to have it; (2) If a vehicle is not disposed of pursuant to division
(C)(1) of this section, the vehicle shall be sold,
without
appraisal, if the value of the vehicle is
two thousand dollars or
more as determined by publications of
the national
auto dealer's
association, at a public auction to the highest bidder for
cash.
Prior to the sale, the prosecuting attorney in the case shall
cause a notice of the proposed sale to be given in accordance
with
law. The court shall cause notice of the sale of the vehicle to
be
published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county
in which the
court is located at least seven days prior to the
date of the
sale. The proceeds of a sale under this division or
division
(F) of
this section shall be applied in the following
order: (a) First, they shall be applied to the payment of the
costs
incurred in connection with the seizure, storage, and
maintenance
of, and provision of security for, the vehicle, any
proceeding
arising out of the forfeiture, and if any, the sale. (b) Second, the remaining proceeds after compliance with
division
(C)(2)(a) of this section, shall be applied to the
payment of the value of any lien or ownership
interest in
the
vehicle preserved under division
(B) of this section. (c) Third, the remaining proceeds, after compliance with
divisions
(C)(2)(a) and (b) of this section, shall be
applied
to
the appropriate funds in accordance with divisions (D)(1)(c)

total of the amount so deposited under this division shall not
exceed one thousand dollars. The remaining proceeds deposited

section. (d) Fourth, the remaining proceeds after compliance with

per
cent of those
remaining proceeds is paid into the reparation fund
established
by
section 2743.191 of the Revised Code, twenty-five
per cent is
paid
into the drug abuse resistance education programs
fund
created by
division
(F)(2)(e) of section 4511.191 of the
Revised
Code and
shall be used only for the purposes authorized by
division
(F)(2)(e) of that section, and twenty-five per
cent is
applied to
the appropriate funds in accordance with division
(D)(1)(c) of
section 2933.43 of the Revised Code. The proceeds
deposited into
any fund described in section 2933.43 of the
Revised Code shall be
used only for the purposes authorized by
division (D)(1)(c), (2),
and (3)(a)(ii) of that section. (D)
Except as provided in division
(E)(D)
of section 4511.203 of
the Revised Code and notwithstanding any
other
provision of law,
neither
the registrar of motor vehicles
nor any deputy registrar
shall
accept an application for the
registration of any motor

the certificate of title to the motor vehicle, it shall send the
assigned certificate of title to the motor vehicle to the clerk
of
the court of common pleas of the county in which the salvage

suspension imposed under
division
(C)(1)(d) of section 4511.191 of the
Revised Code. The
judge may
grant limited driving privileges after the first three
years of
suspension only if the judge, at the time of granting the

driver's license
or permit or nonresident operating privilege has
been suspended under
division (G)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e) of section 4511.19 of the
Revised Code, under division (G)(1)(a) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code for a violation of division (A)(1)(f), (g), (h), or (i) of that section, or under
section 4510.07 of the Revised Code for a
municipal OVI
conviction for which sentence would have been imposed under division (G)(1)(a)(ii) or (G)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e) of section 4511.19 of 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 violation of the municipal OVI ordinance, the judge or mayor shall impose as a
condition of the privileges
that the offender must display on the
vehicle that is driven subject to the

driver of a commercial motor vehicle to any person
who is
disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle
under
section 4506.16 of the Revised Code or during any of
the

prescribed by division (A) of this section. (C)(1) After a driver's or commercial driver's license or
permit
or nonresident operating privilege has been suspended
pursuant to section
2903.06, 2903.08, 2903.11, 2907.24, 2921.331, 2923.02, 2929.02, 4511.19,
4511.251, 4549.02, 4549.021, or
5743.99 of the Revised Code, any
provision of
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code, or section

of the Revised Code for a violation of a municipal
OVI ordinance,
the judge of the
court or
mayor of the mayor's court that
suspended the license, permit, or privilege
shall cause the
offender to deliver to the court
the license or permit. The
judge, mayor, or clerk of the court or
mayor's court shall
forward
to the registrar the license or permit together with
notice of the
action of the court. (2) A suspension of a commercial driver's license under any
section or chapter identified in division (C)(1) of this section
shall be concurrent with any period of suspension or
disqualification under
section 3123.58 or 4506.16 of the Revised
Code. No person
who is
disqualified for life from holding a
commercial driver's license
under
section 4506.16 of the Revised

under Chapter
4507. of
the Revised Code during the period of the
suspension. (3) No judge or mayor shall suspend any class one
suspension, or any portion of any class one suspension, imposed under section 2903.04, 2903.06, 2903.08, or 2921.331 of the Revised Code. No judge or
mayor shall suspend the first thirty days of any class two, class

under section 2903.06, 2903.08, 2903.11, 2923.02, or 2929.02 of the Revised Code. (D) The judge of the court or mayor of the mayor's court
shall
credit any time during which an offender was subject to an
administrative
suspension of the offender's driver's or commercial
driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privilege
imposed pursuant to section 4511.191 or 4511.192 of the Revised
Code or a suspension imposed by a judge,
referee, or mayor
pursuant to division (B)(1) or (2) of
section 4511.196 of the
Revised Code against the time to be
served
under a related
suspension imposed pursuant to any section or chapter
identified
in division (C)(1) of this section. (E) The judge or mayor shall notify the bureau of motor
vehicles
of any determinations made pursuant to this section and
of any suspension
imposed pursuant to any section or chapter
identified in division
(C)(1) of this section. (F)(1) If a court issues an immobilizing or disabling device
order under section 4510.43 of the Revised Code, the order
shall
authorize the offender during the specified period to operate a
motor vehicle
only if it is equipped with an immobilizing or
disabling device, except as
provided in division (C) of that
section. The court
shall provide the offender with a copy of an
immobilizing or disabling
device order issued under section
4510.43 of the Revised
Code, and the offender shall use the copy
of the order
in lieu of an Ohio driver's or
commercial driver's
license or permit until the registrar or a deputy
registrar issues
the
offender a restricted license. An order issued under section 4510.43 of the Revised Code
does not
authorize or permit the offender to whom it has been
issued to operate a
vehicle during any time that the offender's
driver's or commercial driver's
license or
permit is suspended
under any other provision of law. (2) An offender may present an immobilizing or disabling
device
order to the registrar or to a deputy registrar. Upon
presentation of
the order to the registrar or a deputy registrar,
the registrar or
deputy registrar shall issue the offender a
restricted license. A
restricted license issued under this
division shall be identical
to an Ohio driver's license, except
that it shall have printed on
its face a statement that the
offender is prohibited during the period
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
indicated
conspicuously
upon the face of the license.

(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 abuse, or a combination of them as described in this division when a person submits to a blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substance test at the request of a
law enforcement officer under section 4511.191 of the
Revised
Code or a blood or urine sample is obtained pursuant to a search warrant. Only a
physician, a registered nurse, or a qualified
technician,
chemist,
or phlebotomist shall withdraw a blood sample for
the
purpose of
determining
the
alcohol, drug, controlled substance, metabolite of a controlled substance, or
combination content
of the whole blood, blood serum,
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; (b)
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

violate this section or a municipal OVI ordinance,
costs for any
immobilizing or disabling device used on the
offender's vehicle, and costs of electronic house arrest equipment
needed for
persons who violate this section. (e)
The balance of the fine imposed under division

of criminal forfeiture under division (G)(1)(c), (d), or (e) of
this section is assigned or transferred and division (B)(2) or (3)
of section 4503.234 of the Revised Code applies, in addition to or
independent of any other penalty established by law, the court may
fine the offender the value of the vehicle as determined by
publications of the national auto dealers association. The
proceeds of any fine so imposed shall be distributed in accordance
with division (C)(2) of that section. (7) As used in division (G) of this section, "electronic monitoring," "mandatory prison term," and "mandatory term of local incarceration" have the same meanings as in section 2929.01 of the Revised Code. (H) Whoever violates division (B) of this section is
guilty
of
operating a vehicle after underage alcohol consumption and
shall be
punished as follows: (1) Except as otherwise provided in division (H)(2) of this

offender's
driver's license, commercial driver's license,
temporary instruction permit,
probationary license, or nonresident
operating privilege from the range
specified in division (A)(6) of
section
4510.02 of the Revised Code. (2) If, within one year of the offense, the offender
previously
has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to one or more
violations of
division (A) or (B) of this section or other
equivalent
offenses, the
offender is guilty of a
misdemeanor of the third degree. In addition to any
other

(3) If the offender also is convicted of or also pleads guilty to a specification of the type described in section 2941.1416 of the Revised Code and if the court imposes a jail term for the violation of division (B) of this section, the court shall impose upon the offender an additional definite jail term pursuant to division (E) of section 2929.24 of the Revised Code. (I)(1)
No court shall sentence an offender to an alcohol
treatment program under this section unless the treatment program
complies
with the minimum standards for alcohol treatment programs
adopted
under Chapter 3793. of the Revised Code by the director of
alcohol
and drug addiction services. (2) An offender who stays in a drivers' intervention program
or in an
alcohol treatment program under
an order issued under
this section shall pay the cost of the stay in the
program.
However, if the court determines that an offender who stays in an
alcohol treatment program under an order issued under this section
is unable
to
pay the cost of the stay in the program, the court
may order that the cost be
paid from the court's
indigent drivers'
alcohol treatment fund. (J)
If a person whose driver's or commercial driver's
license
or
permit or nonresident operating privilege is suspended
under
this section
files an appeal regarding any aspect of the
person's
trial or sentence, the
appeal itself does not stay the
operation
of the suspension. (K)
Division (A)(1)(j) of this section does not apply to a person who operates a vehicle, streetcar, or trackless trolley while the person has a concentration of a listed controlled substance or a listed metabolite of a controlled substance in the person's whole blood, blood serum or plasma, or urine that equals or exceeds the amount specified in that division, if both of the following apply: (1) The person obtained the controlled substance pursuant to a prescription issued by a licensed health professional authorized to prescribe drugs. (2) The person injected, ingested, or inhaled the controlled substance in accordance with the health professional's directions. (L) The prohibited concentrations of a controlled substance or a metabolite of a controlled substance listed in division (A)(1)(j) of this section also apply in a prosecution of a violation of division (D) of section 2923.16 of the Revised Code in the same manner as if the offender is being prosecuted for a prohibited concentration of alcohol. (M) All terms defined in section 4510.01 of the Revised
Code
apply to this section. If the meaning of a term defined in
section
4510.01 of the Revised Code conflicts with the meaning of
the same term as defined in section 4501.01 or 4511.01 of the
Revised Code, the term as
defined in section 4510.01 of the
Revised Code applies to this section. (N)(1)
The Ohio Traffic Rules in effect
on
January 1, 2004, as adopted by the supreme court
under authority

convicted
of or pleaded guilty to
one or more violations of division (A) or

independent of any sentence that it
imposes upon
the offender for
the offense,
shall
do whichever of
the following
is
applicable: (a) Except as otherwise provided in division
