If an order is issued under division (A)(2) of this section regarding a child whose delinquent act described in division (A)(1)(a) or (b) of this section was committed prior to January 1, 2008, or if an order is issued under division (A)(3) of this section regarding a delinquent child, the order shall inform the child and the child's parent, guardian, or custodian, that the child has a right to a hearing as described in division (D) of this section and inform the child and the child's parent, guardian, or custodian of the procedures for requesting the hearing and the period of time within which the request for the hearing must be made.

The judge shall include the order in the delinquent child's dispositional order and shall specify in the dispositional order that the order issued under division (A)(1), (2), or (3) of this section was made pursuant to this section.
(C) An order issued under division (A)(1), (2), or (3) of this section shall remain in effect for the period of time specified in section 2950.07 of the Revised Code as it exists on and after January 1, 2008, subject to a judicial termination of that period of time as provided in section 2950.15 of the Revised Code, subject to a possible reclassification of the child pursuant to division (D) of this section if the child's delinquent act was committed prior to January 1, 2008. If an order is issued under division (A)(1), (2), or (3) of this section, the child's attainment of eighteen or twenty-one years of age does not affect or terminate the order, and the order remains in effect for the period of time described in this division. If an order is issued under division (A)(3) of this section, the duty to comply with sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code based upon that order shall be considered, for purposes of section 2950.07 of the Revised Code and for all other purposes, to be a continuation of the duty to comply with those sections imposed upon the child prior to January 1, 2008, under the order issued under section 2152.82, 2152.83, 2152.84, or 2152.85 and Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code.
(D)(1) If an order is issued under division (A)(2) of this section regarding a delinquent child whose delinquent act described in division (A)(1)(a) or (b) of this section was committed prior to January 1, 2008, or if an order is issued under division (A)(3) of this section regarding a delinquent child, except as otherwise provided in this division, the child may request as a matter of right a court hearing to contest the court's classification in the order of the child as a public registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant. To request the hearing, not later than the date that is sixty days after the delinquent child is provided with the copy of the order, the delinquent child shall file a petition with the juvenile court that issued the order.
If the delinquent child requests a hearing by timely filing a petition with the juvenile court, the delinquent child shall serve a copy of the petition on the prosecutor who handled the case in which the delinquent child was adjudicated a delinquent child for committing the sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense that resulted in the delinquent child's registration duty under section 2950.04 or 2950.041 of the Revised Code. The prosecutor shall represent the interest of the state in the hearing. In any hearing under this division, the Rules of Juvenile Procedure apply except to the extent that those Rules would by their nature be clearly inapplicable. The court shall schedule a hearing and shall provide notice to the delinquent child and the delinquent child's parent, guardian, or custodian and to the prosecutor of the date, time, and place of the hearing.
If the delinquent child requests a hearing in accordance with this division, until the court issues its decision at or subsequent to the hearing, the delinquent child shall comply with Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it exists on and after January 1, 2008. If a delinquent child requests a hearing in accordance with this division, at the hearing, all parties are entitled to be heard, and the court shall consider all relevant information and testimony presented relative to the issue of whether the child should be classified a public registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant. Notwithstanding the court's classification of the delinquent child as a public registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant, the court may terminate that classification if it determines by clear and convincing evidence that the classification is in error.
If the court decides to terminate the court's classification of the delinquent child as a public registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant, the court shall issue an order that specifies that it has determined that the child is not a public registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant and that it has terminated the court's classification of the delinquent child as a public registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant. The court promptly shall serve a copy of the order upon the sheriff with whom the delinquent child most recently registered under section 2950.04 or 2950.041 of the Revised Code and upon the bureau of criminal identification and investigation. The delinquent child and the prosecutor have the right to appeal the decision of the court issued under this division.
If the delinquent child fails to request a hearing in accordance with this division within the applicable sixty-day period specified in this division, the failure constitutes a waiver by the delinquent child of the delinquent child's right to a hearing under this division, and the delinquent child is bound by the court's classification of the delinquent child as a public registry-qualified juvenile offender registrant.
(2) An order issued under division (D)(1) of this section is independent of any court order of a type described in division (F) of section 2950.031 of the Revised Code or division (E) of section 2950.032 of the Revised Code specifying the judicial tier reclassification of a delinquent child, and the court may issue both an order under both division (D)(1) of this section and an order of a type described in division (F) of section 2950.031 of the Revised Code or division (E) of section 2950.032 of the Revised Code specifying the judicial tier reclassification for the same delinquent child. A court that conducts a hearing under division (D)(1) of this section may consolidate that hearing with a hearing conducted for the same delinquent child under division (F) of section 2950.031 of the Revised Code or division (E) of section 2950.032 2950.035 or 2950.036 of the Revised Code to determine the judicial tier reclassification of the child.

The court immediately shall provide a copy of the order to the offender or delinquent child, the prosecutor, and the delinquent child's parents.
Until a court makes any required determination under division (B) of this section regarding an offender or delinquent child, the offender or delinquent child shall comply with Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it existed prior to January 1, 2008.
(F) Each court that sends any registered letter under division (C) of this section shall maintain the return receipts for all offenders, delinquent children, and parents of delinquent children who are sent a registered letter under that division.

(H) An offender or delinquent child for whom a court makes a determination under division (B) of this section, or the prosecutor who represented the interest of the state at the hearing at which the determination was made, may appeal the determination to the appropriate court of appeals. An appeal under this division shall be in accordance with and governed by the Appellate Rules. In any appeal made under this division, the prosecutor who represented the interest of the state at the hearing at which the determination was made shall represent the interests of the state in the appeal.
If an offender, delinquent child, or prosecutor appeals a determination under this division, until the court of appeals issues its decision, the offender or child shall comply with Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it exists on July 1, 2011, based on the determination that the offender, child, or prosecutor appealed.
(I) The determination by a court of an offender's or delinquent child's new classification as a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender pursuant to division (B) of this section does not affect, and is independent of, that court's or another court's prior judgment of conviction of the offender, the offender's prior guilty plea, or that court's or another court's prior adjudication of the child as a delinquent child for committing the sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense upon which the classification is based and does not affect, and is independent of, the sentence imposed upon the offender or the disposition made of the child as a result of that prior conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication.
A court's classification of an offender or delinquent child, prior to July 1, 2011, as a sexual predator, child-victim predator, habitual sex offender, or habitual child-victim offender, or as being in none of those categories, based on a sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense committed prior to January 1, 2008, was a collateral consequence of the offender's or child's conviction of, plea of guilty to, or delinquent child adjudication for committing that sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense. A court's new classification of an offender or delinquent child as a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender pursuant to division (B) of this section based on a sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense committed prior to January 1, 2008, is a collateral consequence of the offender's or child's conviction of, plea of guilty to, or delinquent child adjudication for committing that sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense.
(J)(1) If a juvenile court is required to make a determination under division (B) of this section, division (D)(2) of section 2152.86 of the Revised Code applies.
(2) If a juvenile court issues an order under division (A)(2) or (3) of section 2152.86 of the Revised Code that classifies a delinquent child as a public-registry qualified juvenile offender registrant and if the child's delinquent act was committed prior to January 1, 2008, a challenge to the classification contained in the order shall be made pursuant to division (D) of section 2152.86 of the Revised Code.
(K) As used in this section, "targeted offender" and "targeted delinquent child" have the same meanings as in section 2950.037 of the Revised Code.
Sec. 2950.036.  (A) If, on or after July 31, 2011, a person is convicted of, pleads guilty to, or is adjudicated a delinquent child in this state for committing a sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense that was committed prior to January 1, 2008, at the time of sentencing of the offender or the making of a disposition of the delinquent child, the court shall determine the offender's or child's new classification as a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender under Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it exists on July 1, 2011, and the offender's or child's duties under Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as a result of that new tier classification.
(B) If a person is convicted, pleads guilty, was convicted, pleaded guilty, is adjudicated a delinquent child, or was adjudicated a delinquent child in a court in another state, in a federal court, military court, or Indian tribal court, or in a court in any nation other than the United States for committing a sexually oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense that was committed prior to January 1, 2008, if the person registers an address in this state, and if the person does not register the address in this state until after July 31, 2011, the sheriff with whom the person registers the address shall provide notice of the type described in division (A)(2) of section 2950.035 of the Revised Code regarding the offender or delinquent child to the court described in division (A)(2)(a), (b), or (c) of that section. Upon receipt of the notice, the court promptly shall determine for the offender or delinquent child the offender's or child's new classification as a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender under Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it exists on July 1, 2011, and the offender's or child's duties under Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as a result of that new tier classification.
(C) In making its determination under division (A) or (B) of this section, a court shall comply with divisions (B) to (E) of section 2950.035 of the Revised Code and issue an order as described in those divisions. However, the dates specified in those divisions for compliance with their provisions do not apply in making the determination under division (A) or (B) of this section, and divisions (C) and (F) of section 2950.035 of the Revised Code do not apply in making the determination under division (A) of this section. Divisions (G) to (I) and division (K) of section 2950.035 of the Revised Code apply to a determination made under division (A) or (B) of this section and an order that includes such a determination.

If, prior to January 1, 2008, an offender or a delinquent child had a duty to comply with the sections specified in division (A) of this section, the offender's or delinquent child's classification reclassification as a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender for purposes of that period of time shall be determined as specified in section 2950.031 or 2950.032 2950.035 or 2950.036 of the Revised Code, as and, if applicable, section 2950.037 of the Revised Code.

The offender's or delinquent child's duty to register under this chapter resumes upon the offender's or delinquent child's release from confinement in a secure facility or imprisonment.
(E) An offender or delinquent child who has been or is convicted, has pleaded or pleads guilty, or has been or is adjudicated a delinquent child, in a court in another state, in a federal court, military court, or Indian tribal court, or in a court of any nation other than the United States for committing a sexually oriented offense or a child-victim oriented offense may apply to the sheriff of the county in which the offender or delinquent child resides or temporarily is domiciled, or in which the offender attends a school or institution of higher education or is employed, for credit against the duty to register for the time that the offender or delinquent child has complied with the sex offender or child-victim offender registration requirements of another jurisdiction. The sheriff shall grant the offender or delinquent child credit against the duty to register for time for which the offender or delinquent child provides adequate proof that the offender or delinquent child has complied with the sex offender or child-victim offender registration requirements of another jurisdiction. If the offender or delinquent child disagrees with the determination of the sheriff, the offender or delinquent child may appeal the determination to the court of common pleas of the county in which the offender or delinquent child resides or is temporarily domiciled, or in which the offender attends a school or institution of higher education or is employed.
