A BILL
To amend sections 2152.17 and 2929.14 and to enact
sections 2941.1424 and 2941.1425 of the Revised
Code to create specifications that impose an
additional prison term upon an offender who
commits a felony offense against a disabled person
or an elderly person and increase the period of
commitment to the Department of Youth Services for
committing an act that would be a felony offense
against a disabled person or an elderly person if
committed by an adult, for felony offenses that do
not delineate enhanced penalties when a disabled
person or an elderly person is the victim of the
violation.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 2152.17 and 2929.14 be amended and
sections 2941.1424 and 2941.1425 of the Revised Code be enacted to

if a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for committing an
act, other than a violation of section 2923.12 of the Revised
Code, that would be a felony if committed by an adult and if the
court determines that, if the child was an adult, the child would
be guilty of a specification of the type set forth in section
2941.141, 2941.144, 2941.145, 2941.146, 2941.1412, 2941.1414, or

addition to any commitment or other disposition the court imposes
for the underlying delinquent act, all of the following apply:
(1) If the court determines that the child would be guilty of
a specification of the type set forth in section 2941.141 of the
Revised Code, the court may commit the child to the department of
youth services for the specification for a definite period of up
to one year.
(2) If the court determines that the child would be guilty of
a specification of the type set forth in section 2941.145 of the

definite period of two years.
(B)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for
committing an act, other than a violation of section 2923.12 of
the Revised Code, that would be a felony if committed by an adult,
if the court determines that the child is complicit in another
person's conduct that is of such a nature that the other person
would be guilty of a specification of the type set forth in
section 2941.141, 2941.144, 2941.145, or 2941.146 of the Revised
Code if the other person was an adult, if the other person's
conduct relates to the child's underlying delinquent act, and if
the child did not furnish, use, or dispose of any firearm that was
involved with the underlying delinquent act or with the other
person's specification-related conduct, in addition to any other

accomplice regarding a firearm specification of the type set forth
in section 2941.1412, 2941.1414, or 2941.1415 of the Revised Code
to the same extent the firearm specifications would apply to an
adult accomplice in a criminal proceeding.
(C) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for
committing an act that would be aggravated murder, murder, or a
first, second, or third degree felony offense of violence if
committed by an adult and if the court determines that, if the
child was an adult, the child would be guilty of a specification
of the type set forth in section 2941.142 of the Revised Code in
relation to the act for which the child was adjudicated a
delinquent child, the court shall commit the child for the

services for institutionalization in a secure facility for a
definite period of not less than one and not more than three
years, subject to division (D)(2) of this section, and the court

shall be served consecutively with and prior to, a period of
commitment ordered under this chapter for the underlying
delinquent act, and each commitment imposed pursuant to division
(A), (B), (C), or (D)(1) of this section shall be in addition to,
and shall be served consecutively with, any other period of

adjudication orders the commitment of the child for two or more of
those acts to the legal custody of the department of youth
services for institutionalization in a secure facility pursuant to
section 2152.13 or 2152.16 of the Revised Code, the court may
order that all of the periods of commitment imposed under those
sections for those acts be served consecutively in the legal
custody of the department of youth services, provided that those
periods of commitment shall be in addition to and commence
immediately following the expiration of a period of commitment

of the Revised Code if the offender previously has been convicted
of or pleaded guilty in two or more separate proceedings to two or
more violations of section 2911.01, 2911.02, 2911.11, or 2911.12

or attempting to cause the death of or physical harm to another,
also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification of the
type described in section 2941.146 of the Revised Code that
charges the offender with committing the offense by discharging a

felony offense under division (A), (B)(2), or (B)(3) of this
section, shall impose an additional prison term of five years upon

of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. A court
shall not impose more than one additional prison term on an
offender under division (B)(1)(c) of this section for felonies
committed as part of the same act or transaction. If a court
imposes an additional prison term on an offender under division

of the Revised Code. A court shall not impose more than one prison
term on an offender under division (B)(1)(d) of this section for
felonies committed as part of the same act or transaction. If a
court imposes an additional prison term under division (B)(1)(a)
or (c) of this section, the court is not precluded from imposing
an additional prison term under division (B)(1)(d) of this
section.
(e) The court shall not impose any of the prison terms
described in division (B)(1)(a) of this section or any of the
additional prison terms described in division (B)(1)(c) of this
section upon an offender for a violation of section 2923.12 or
2923.123 of the Revised Code. The court shall not impose any of
the prison terms described in division (B)(1)(a) or (b) of this
section upon an offender for a violation of section 2923.122 that
involves a deadly weapon that is a firearm other than a dangerous
ordnance, section 2923.16, or section 2923.121 of the Revised

also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification of the
type described in section 2941.1412 of the Revised Code that
charges the offender with committing the offense by discharging a
firearm at a peace officer as defined in section 2935.01 of the
Revised Code or a corrections officer, as defined in section
2941.1412 of the Revised Code, the court, after imposing a prison
term on the offender for the felony offense under division (A),
(B)(2), or (B)(3) of this section, shall impose an additional
prison term of seven years upon the offender that shall not be
reduced pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.19, section
2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120.
of the Revised Code. If an offender is convicted of or pleads

element, causing or attempting to cause the death or physical harm
to another and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a
specification of the type described under division (B)(1)(f) of
this section in connection with two or more of the felonies of
which the offender is convicted or to which the offender pleads
guilty, the sentencing court shall impose on the offender the
prison term specified under division (B)(1)(f) of this section for
each of two of the specifications of which the offender is
convicted or to which the offender pleads guilty and, in its
discretion, also may impose on the offender the prison term
specified under that division for any or all of the remaining
specifications. If a court imposes an additional prison term on an
offender under division (B)(1)(f) of this section relative to an
offense, the court shall not impose a prison term under division
(B)(1)(a) or (c) of this section relative to the same offense.
(g) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to two or
more felonies, if one or more of those felonies are aggravated
murder, murder, attempted aggravated murder, attempted murder,
aggravated robbery, felonious assault, or rape, and if the
offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification of
the type described under division (B)(1)(a) of this section in
connection with two or more of the felonies, the sentencing court
shall impose on the offender the prison term specified under
division (B)(1)(a) of this section for each of the two most
serious specifications of which the offender is convicted or to
which the offender pleads guilty and, in its discretion, also may
impose on the offender the prison term specified under that
division for any or all of the remaining specifications.
(2)(a) If division (B)(2)(b) of this section does not apply,
the court may impose on an offender, in addition to the longest
prison term authorized or required for the offense, an additional
definite prison term of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, or ten years if all of the following criteria are
met:
(i) The offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a
specification of the type described in section 2941.149 of the
Revised Code that the offender is a repeat violent offender.
(ii) The offense of which the offender currently is convicted
or to which the offender currently pleads guilty is aggravated
murder and the court does not impose a sentence of death or life
imprisonment without parole, murder, terrorism and the court does
not impose a sentence of life imprisonment without parole, any
felony of the first degree that is an offense of violence and the
court does not impose a sentence of life imprisonment without
parole, or any felony of the second degree that is an offense of
violence and the trier of fact finds that the offense involved an
attempt to cause or a threat to cause serious physical harm to a
person or resulted in serious physical harm to a person.
(iii) The court imposes the longest prison term for the
offense that is not life imprisonment without parole.
(iv) The court finds that the prison terms imposed pursuant
to division (B)(2)(a)(iii) of this section and, if applicable,
division (B)(1) or (3) of this section are inadequate to punish
the offender and protect the public from future crime, because the
applicable factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code
indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism outweigh the
applicable factors under that section indicating a lesser
likelihood of recidivism.
(v) The court finds that the prison terms imposed pursuant to
division (B)(2)(a)(iii) of this section and, if applicable,
division (B)(1) or (3) of this section are demeaning to the
seriousness of the offense, because one or more of the factors
under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating that the
offender's conduct is more serious than conduct normally
constituting the offense are present, and they outweigh the
applicable factors under that section indicating that the
offender's conduct is less serious than conduct normally
constituting the offense.
(b) The court shall impose on an offender the longest prison
term authorized or required for the offense and shall impose on
the offender an additional definite prison term of one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years if all of
the following criteria are met:
(i) The offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a
specification of the type described in section 2941.149 of the
Revised Code that the offender is a repeat violent offender.
(ii) The offender within the preceding twenty years has been
convicted of or pleaded guilty to three or more offenses described
in division (CC)(1) of section 2929.01 of the Revised Code,
including all offenses described in that division of which the
offender is convicted or to which the offender pleads guilty in
the current prosecution and all offenses described in that
division of which the offender previously has been convicted or to
which the offender previously pleaded guilty, whether prosecuted
together or separately.
(iii) The offense or offenses of which the offender currently
is convicted or to which the offender currently pleads guilty is
aggravated murder and the court does not impose a sentence of
death or life imprisonment without parole, murder, terrorism and
the court does not impose a sentence of life imprisonment without
parole, any felony of the first degree that is an offense of
violence and the court does not impose a sentence of life
imprisonment without parole, or any felony of the second degree
that is an offense of violence and the trier of fact finds that
the offense involved an attempt to cause or a threat to cause
serious physical harm to a person or resulted in serious physical
harm to a person.
(c) For purposes of division (B)(2)(b) of this section, two
or more offenses committed at the same time or as part of the same
act or event shall be considered one offense, and that one offense
shall be the offense with the greatest penalty.
(d) A sentence imposed under division (B)(2)(a) or (b) of
this section shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20,
section 2967.19, or section 2967.193, or any other provision of
Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. The offender
shall serve an additional prison term imposed under this section
consecutively to and prior to the prison term imposed for the
underlying offense.
(e) When imposing a sentence pursuant to division (B)(2)(a)
or (b) of this section, the court shall state its findings
explaining the imposed sentence.
(3) Except when an offender commits a violation of section
2903.01 or 2907.02 of the Revised Code and the penalty imposed for
the violation is life imprisonment or commits a violation of
section 2903.02 of the Revised Code, if the offender commits a
violation of section 2925.03 or 2925.11 of the Revised Code and
that section classifies the offender as a major drug offender, if
the offender commits a felony violation of section 2925.02,
2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.36, 3719.07, 3719.08, 3719.16, 3719.161,
4729.37, or 4729.61, division (C) or (D) of section 3719.172,
division (C) of section 4729.51, or division (J) of section
4729.54 of the Revised Code that includes the sale, offer to sell,
or possession of a schedule I or II controlled substance, with the
exception of marihuana, and the court imposing sentence upon the
offender finds that the offender is guilty of a specification of
the type described in section 2941.1410 of the Revised Code
charging that the offender is a major drug offender, if the court
imposing sentence upon an offender for a felony finds that the
offender is guilty of corrupt activity with the most serious
offense in the pattern of corrupt activity being a felony of the
first degree, or if the offender is guilty of an attempted
violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and, had the
offender completed the violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised
Code that was attempted, the offender would have been subject to a
sentence of life imprisonment or life imprisonment without parole
for the violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code, the
court shall impose upon the offender for the felony violation a
mandatory prison term of the maximum prison term prescribed for a
felony of the first degree that, subject to divisions (C) to (I)
of section 2967.19 of the Revised Code, cannot be reduced pursuant
to section 2929.20, section 2967.19, or any other provision of
Chapter 2967. or 5120. of the Revised Code.
(4) If the offender is being sentenced for a third or fourth
degree felony OVI offense under division (G)(2) of section 2929.13
of the Revised Code, the sentencing court shall impose upon the
offender a mandatory prison term in accordance with that division.
In addition to the mandatory prison term, if the offender is being
sentenced for a fourth degree felony OVI offense, the court,
notwithstanding division (A)(4) of this section, may sentence the
offender to a definite prison term of not less than six months and
not more than thirty months, and if the offender is being
sentenced for a third degree felony OVI offense, the sentencing
court may sentence the offender to an additional prison term of
any duration specified in division (A)(3) of this section. In
either case, the additional prison term imposed shall be reduced
by the sixty or one hundred twenty days imposed upon the offender
as the mandatory prison term. The total of the additional prison
term imposed under division (B)(4) of this section plus the sixty
or one hundred twenty days imposed as the mandatory prison term
shall equal a definite term in the range of six months to thirty
months for a fourth degree felony OVI offense and shall equal one
of the authorized prison terms specified in division (A)(3) of
this section for a third degree felony OVI offense. If the court
imposes an additional prison term under division (B)(4) of this
section, the offender shall serve the additional prison term after
the offender has served the mandatory prison term required for the
offense. In addition to the mandatory prison term or mandatory and
additional prison term imposed as described in division (B)(4) of
this section, the court also may sentence the offender to a
community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the
Revised Code, but the offender shall serve all of the prison terms
so imposed prior to serving the community control sanction.
If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony
OVI offense under division (G)(1) of section 2929.13 of the
Revised Code and the court imposes a mandatory term of local
incarceration, the court may impose a prison term as described in
division (A)(1) of that section.
(5) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a
violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the
Revised Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a
specification of the type described in section 2941.1414 of the
Revised Code that charges that the victim of the offense is a
peace officer, as defined in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code,
or an investigator of the bureau of criminal identification and
investigation, as defined in section 2903.11 of the Revised Code,
the court shall impose on the offender a prison term of five
years. If a court imposes a prison term on an offender under
division (B)(5) of this section, the prison term, subject to

that division or under any other provision of law and
consecutively to any other prison term or mandatory prison term
previously or subsequently imposed upon the offender.
(2) If an offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or

violation of division (B) of section 2921.331 of the Revised Code,
the offender shall serve that prison term consecutively to any
other prison term or mandatory prison term previously or
subsequently imposed upon the offender.
(4) If multiple prison terms are imposed on an offender for
convictions of multiple offenses, the court may require the
offender to serve the prison terms consecutively if the court
finds that the consecutive service is necessary to protect the
public from future crime or to punish the offender and that
consecutive sentences are not disproportionate to the seriousness
of the offender's conduct and to the danger the offender poses to
the public, and if the court also finds any of the following:
(a) The offender committed one or more of the multiple
offenses while the offender was awaiting trial or sentencing, was
under a sanction imposed pursuant to section 2929.16, 2929.17, or
2929.18 of the Revised Code, or was under post-release control for
a prior offense.
(b) At least two of the multiple offenses were committed as
part of one or more courses of conduct, and the harm caused by two
or more of the multiple offenses so committed was so great or
unusual that no single prison term for any of the offenses
committed as part of any of the courses of conduct adequately
reflects the seriousness of the offender's conduct.
(c) The offender's history of criminal conduct demonstrates
that consecutive sentences are necessary to protect the public
from future crime by the offender.
(5) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender
pursuant to division (B)(5) or (6) of this section, the offender
shall serve the mandatory prison term consecutively to and prior
to any prison term imposed for the underlying violation of
division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code
pursuant to division (A) of this section or section 2929.142 of

division (A) of this section or section 2929.142 of the Revised
Code.
(6) When consecutive prison terms are imposed pursuant to
division (C)(1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) or division (H)(1) or (2)
of this section, the term to be served is the aggregate of all of
the terms so imposed.
(D)(1) If a court imposes a prison term for a felony of the
first degree, for a felony of the second degree, for a felony sex
offense, or for a felony of the third degree that is not a felony
sex offense and in the commission of which the offender caused or
threatened to cause physical harm to a person, it shall include in
the sentence a requirement that the offender be subject to a
period of post-release control after the offender's release from
imprisonment, in accordance with that division. If a court imposes
a sentence including a prison term of a type described in this
division on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a court to
include a post-release control requirement in the sentence
pursuant to this division does not negate, limit, or otherwise
affect the mandatory period of post-release control that is
required for the offender under division (B) of section 2967.28 of
the Revised Code. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if,

requirement that the offender be subject to a period of
post-release control after the offender's release from
imprisonment, in accordance with that division, if the parole
board determines that a period of post-release control is
necessary. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, prior
to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a prison
term of a type described in this division and failed to include in
the sentence pursuant to this division a statement regarding
post-release control.
(E) The court shall impose sentence upon the offender in
accordance with section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, and Chapter
2971. of the Revised Code applies regarding the prison term or

offense, and, in relation to that offense, the offender is
adjudicated a sexually violent predator.
(2) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation
of division (A)(1)(b) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code

(C)(1)(a)(v), (C)(2)(a)(ii), (D)(2)(b), (D)(3)(a)(iv), or
(E)(1)(d) of section 2929.03, or division (A) or (B) of section
2929.06 of the Revised Code requires the court to sentence the
offender pursuant to division (B)(3) of section 2971.03 of the
Revised Code.
(6) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to murder
committed on or after January 1, 2008, and division (B)(2) of
section 2929.02 of the Revised Code requires the court to sentence
the offender pursuant to section 2971.03 of the Revised Code.

prior to the prison term imposed for the underlying offense.
(2)(a) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a
felony violation of section 2907.22, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25
of the Revised Code and to a specification of the type described

division (H)(2)(a) of this section, the court may directly impose

the offender under division (H)(2)(a) of this section. A sanction
imposed under this division shall commence on the date specified
by the court, provided that the sanction shall not commence until
after the offender has served the prison term imposed for the
felony violation of section 2907.22, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25
of the Revised Code and any residential sanction imposed for the
violation under section 2929.16 of the Revised Code. A sanction
imposed under this division shall be considered to be a community
control sanction for purposes of section 2929.15 of the Revised
Code, and all provisions of the Revised Code that pertain to
community control sanctions shall apply to a sanction imposed
under this division, except to the extent that they would by their
nature be clearly inapplicable. The offender shall pay all costs
associated with a sanction imposed under this division, including
the cost of the use of the monitoring device.
(I) At the time of sentencing, the court may recommend the
offender for placement in a program of shock incarceration under
section 5120.031 of the Revised Code or for placement in an
intensive program prison under section 5120.032 of the Revised

offender in a program or prison of that nature unless the
department determines as specified in section 5120.031 or 5120.032
of the Revised Code, whichever is applicable, that the offender is
