To enact sections 2907.12 and 2927.15 of the Revised Code to prohibit a person convicted of rape of a child less than thirteen from interacting with a minor without the parent's or guardian's permission and to prohibit a person from collecting any bodily substance of another person without privilege to do so.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 2907.12 and 2927.15 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 2907.12. (A) As used in this section:
(1) "Incidental interaction" means brief interaction between a person and a minor that is not knowingly initiated by the person.
(2) "Interaction" means any physical contact or communication by any means, including but not limited to spoken or written words.
(B) No person who has been convicted of or pleaded guilty in this state or any other state to rape of a child who was less than thirteen years of age at the time of the offense shall knowingly initiate or continue any interaction, other than incidental interaction, with a minor without the permission of the minor's parent or guardian to engage in that type of interaction.
(C) Whoever violates division (B) of this section is guilty of unlawful interaction with a minor, a felony of the fourth degree.
(D) It is an affirmative defense to a charge of violating division (B) of this section that the accused engaged in the interaction to protect the minor from a substantial risk of physical harm.
Sec. 2927.15. (A) No person shall knowingly collect any blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily substance of another person without privilege to do so.
(B) Whoever violates division (A) of this section is guilty of unlawful collection of a bodily substance. Except as otherwise provided in this division, unlawful collection of a bodily substance is a misdemeanor of the first degree. If the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a violation of division (A) of this section, unlawful collection of a bodily substance is a felony of the fifth degree.
