controlled substances are located on the tenant's premises; the | 1198 |
warrant was properly executed by a law enforcement officer and any | 1199 |
controlled substance described in the affidavit was found by that | 1200 |
officer during the search and seizure; and, subsequent to the | 1201 |
search and seizure, the landlord was informed by that or another | 1202 |

to hear and determine the case of any child certified to the court | 1438 |
by any court of competent jurisdiction if the child comes within | 1439 |
the jurisdiction of the juvenile court as defined by this section. | 1440 |
(F)(1) The juvenile court shall exercise its jurisdiction in | 1441 |
child custody matters in accordance with sections 3109.04 and | 1442 |
3127.01 to 3127.53 of the Revised Code and, as applicable, | 1443 |

Code. | 1445 |
(2) The juvenile court shall exercise its jurisdiction in | 1446 |

Revised Code. | 1448 |
(G) Any juvenile court that makes or modifies an order for | 1449 |
child support shall comply with Chapters 3119., 3121., 3123., and | 1450 |
3125. of the Revised Code. If any person required to pay child | 1451 |
support under an order made by a juvenile court on or after April | 1452 |
15, 1985, or modified on or after December 1, 1986, is found in | 1453 |
contempt of court for failure to make support payments under the | 1454 |
order, the court that makes the finding, in addition to any other | 1455 |
penalty or remedy imposed, shall assess all court costs arising | 1456 |
out of the contempt proceeding against the person and require the | 1457 |
person to pay any reasonable attorney's fees of any adverse party, | 1458 |
as determined by the court, that arose in relation to the act of | 1459 |
contempt. | 1460 |
(H) If a child who is charged with an act that would be an | 1461 |
offense if committed by an adult was fourteen years of age or | 1462 |
older and under eighteen years of age at the time of the alleged | 1463 |
act and if the case is transferred for criminal prosecution | 1464 |
pursuant to section 2152.12 of the Revised Code, except as | 1465 |
provided in section 2152.121 of the Revised Code, the juvenile | 1466 |
court does not have jurisdiction to hear or determine the case | 1467 |
subsequent to the transfer. The court to which the case is | 1468 |
transferred for criminal prosecution pursuant to that section has | 1469 |
jurisdiction subsequent to the transfer to hear and determine the | 1470 |
case in the same manner as if the case originally had been | 1471 |
commenced in that court, subject to section 2152.121 of the | 1472 |
Revised Code, including, but not limited to, jurisdiction to | 1473 |
accept a plea of guilty or another plea authorized by Criminal | 1474 |
Rule 11 or another section of the Revised Code and jurisdiction to | 1475 |
accept a verdict and to enter a judgment of conviction pursuant to | 1476 |
the Rules of Criminal Procedure against the child for the | 1477 |
commission of the offense that was the basis of the transfer of | 1478 |
the case for criminal prosecution, whether the conviction is for | 1479 |
the same degree or a lesser degree of the offense charged, for the | 1480 |
commission of a lesser-included offense, or for the commission of | 1481 |
another offense that is different from the offense charged. | 1482 |
(I) If a person under eighteen years of age allegedly commits | 1483 |
an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult and if the | 1484 |
person is not taken into custody or apprehended for that act until | 1485 |
after the person attains twenty-one years of age, the juvenile | 1486 |
court does not have jurisdiction to hear or determine any portion | 1487 |
of the case charging the person with committing that act. In those | 1488 |
circumstances, divisions (A) and (B) of section 2152.12 of the | 1489 |
Revised Code do not apply regarding the act, and the case charging | 1490 |
the person with committing the act shall be a criminal prosecution | 1491 |
commenced and heard in the appropriate court having jurisdiction | 1492 |
of the offense as if the person had been eighteen years of age or | 1493 |
older when the person committed the act. All proceedings | 1494 |
pertaining to the act shall be within the jurisdiction of the | 1495 |
court having jurisdiction of the offense, and that court has all | 1496 |
the authority and duties in the case that it has in other criminal | 1497 |
cases in that court. | 1498 |
(J) In exercising its exclusive original jurisdiction under | 1499 |
division (A)(16) of this section with respect to any proceedings | 1500 |
brought under section 2151.34 or 3113.31 of the Revised Code in | 1501 |
which the respondent is a child, the juvenile court retains all | 1502 |
dispositionary powers consistent with existing rules of juvenile | 1503 |
procedure and may also exercise its discretion to adjudicate | 1504 |
proceedings as provided in sections 2151.34 and 3113.31 of the | 1505 |
Revised Code, including the issuance of protection orders or the | 1506 |
approval of consent agreements under those sections. | 1507 |
(K) Regardless of the person's age, the juvenile court | 1508 |
retains jurisdiction over a person who has received a serious | 1509 |
youthful offender dispositional sentence under section 2152.13 of | 1510 |
the Revised Code until the person successfully completes all the | 1511 |
traditional juvenile dispositions imposed under the dispositional | 1512 |
sentence or until the juvenile court pursuant to section 2152.14 | 1513 |
of the Revised Code invokes the adult portion of the dispositional | 1514 |
sentence imposed. | 1515 |
(L) Regardless of the person's age, the juvenile court | 1516 |
retains jurisdiction over a person who has been adjudicated a | 1517 |
delinquent child for committing a sexually oriented offense or a | 1518 |
child-victim oriented offense on or after January 1, 2002, for the | 1519 |
purpose of imposing, modifying, or terminating an order under | 1520 |
sections 2152.82, 2152.83, 2152.831, 2152.84, and 2152.85 of the | 1521 |
Revised Code. | 1522 |
Sec. 2151.357. (A) If the court orders the records of a | 1523 |
person sealed pursuant to section 2151.356 of the Revised Code, | 1524 |
the person who is subject of the order properly may, and the court | 1525 |
shall, reply that no record exists with respect to the person upon | 1526 |
any inquiry in the matter, and the court, except as provided in | 1527 |
division (D) of this section, shall do all of the following: | 1528 |
(1) Order that the proceedings in a case described in | 1529 |
divisions (B) and (C) of section 2151.356 of the Revised Code be | 1530 |
deemed never to have occurred; | 1531 |
(2) Except as provided in division (C) of this section, | 1532 |
delete all index references to the case and the person so that the | 1533 |
references are permanently irretrievable; | 1534 |
(3) Order that all original records of the case maintained by | 1535 |
any public office or agency, except fingerprints held by a law | 1536 |
enforcement agency, DNA specimens collected pursuant to section | 1537 |
2152.74 of the Revised Code, and DNA records derived from DNA | 1538 |
specimens pursuant to section 109.573 of the Revised Code, be | 1539 |
delivered to the court; | 1540 |
(4) Order each public office or agency, upon the delivering | 1541 |
of records to the court under division (A)(3) of this section, to | 1542 |
expunge remaining records of the case that are the subject of the | 1543 |
sealing order that are maintained by that public office or agency, | 1544 |
except fingerprints, DNA specimens, and DNA records described | 1545 |
under division (A)(3) of this section; | 1546 |
(5) Send notice of the order to seal to any public office or | 1547 |
agency that the court has reason to believe may have a record of | 1548 |
the sealed record; | 1549 |
(6) Seal all of the records delivered to the court under | 1550 |
division (A)(3) of this section, in a separate file in which only | 1551 |
sealed records are maintained. | 1552 |
(B) Except as provided in division (D) of this section, an | 1553 |
order to seal under section 2151.356 of the Revised Code applies | 1554 |
to every public office or agency that has a record relating to the | 1555 |
case, regardless of whether it receives notice of the hearing on | 1556 |
the sealing of the record or a copy of the order. Except as | 1557 |
provided in division (D) of this section, upon the written request | 1558 |
of a person whose record has been sealed and the presentation of a | 1559 |
copy of the order and compliance with division (A)(3) of this | 1560 |
section, a public office or agency shall expunge its record | 1561 |
relating to the case, except a record of the adjudication or | 1562 |
arrest or taking into custody that is maintained for compiling | 1563 |
statistical data and that does not contain any reference to the | 1564 |
person who is the subject of the order. | 1565 |
(C) The court that maintains sealed records pursuant to this | 1566 |
section may maintain a manual or computerized index of the sealed | 1567 |
records and shall make the index available only for the purposes | 1568 |
set forth in division (E) of this section. | 1569 |
(1) Each entry regarding a sealed record in the index of | 1570 |
sealed records shall contain all of the following: | 1571 |
(a) The name of the person who is the subject of the sealed | 1572 |
record; | 1573 |
(b) An alphanumeric identifier relating to the person who is | 1574 |
the subject of the sealed record; | 1575 |
(c) The word "sealed"; | 1576 |
(d) The name of the court that has custody of the sealed | 1577 |
record. | 1578 |
(2) Any entry regarding a sealed record in the index of | 1579 |
sealed records shall not contain either of the following: | 1580 |
(a) The social security number of the person who is subject | 1581 |
of the sealed record; | 1582 |
(b) The name or a description of the act committed. | 1583 |
(D) Notwithstanding any provision of this section that | 1584 |
requires otherwise, a board of education of a city, local, | 1585 |
exempted village, or joint vocational school district that | 1586 |
maintains records of an individual who has been permanently | 1587 |
excluded under sections 3301.121 and 3313.662 of the Revised Code | 1588 |
is permitted to maintain records regarding an adjudication that | 1589 |
the individual is a delinquent child that was used as the basis | 1590 |
for the individual's permanent exclusion, regardless of a court | 1591 |
order to seal the record. An order issued under section 2151.356 | 1592 |
of the Revised Code to seal the record of an adjudication that an | 1593 |
individual is a delinquent child does not revoke the adjudication | 1594 |
order of the superintendent of public instruction to permanently | 1595 |
exclude the individual who is the subject of the sealing order. An | 1596 |
order to seal the record of an adjudication that an individual is | 1597 |
a delinquent child may be presented to a district superintendent | 1598 |
as evidence to support the contention that the superintendent | 1599 |
should recommend that the permanent exclusion of the individual | 1600 |
who is the subject of the sealing order be revoked. Except as | 1601 |
otherwise authorized by this division and sections 3301.121 and | 1602 |
3313.662 of the Revised Code, any school employee in possession of | 1603 |
or having access to the sealed adjudication records of an | 1604 |
individual that were the basis of a permanent exclusion of the | 1605 |
individual is subject to division (F) of this section. | 1606 |
(E) Inspection of records that have been ordered sealed under | 1607 |
section 2151.356 of the Revised Code may be made only by the | 1608 |
following persons or for the following purposes: | 1609 |
(1) By the court; | 1610 |
(2) If the records in question pertain to an act that would | 1611 |
be an offense of violence that would be a felony if committed by | 1612 |
an adult, by any law enforcement officer or any prosecutor, or the | 1613 |
assistants of a law enforcement officer or prosecutor, for any | 1614 |
valid law enforcement or prosecutorial purpose; | 1615 |
(3) Upon application by the person who is the subject of the | 1616 |
sealed records, by the person that is named in that application; | 1617 |
(4) If the records in question pertain to an alleged | 1618 |
violation of division (E)(1) of section 4301.69 of the Revised | 1619 |
Code, by any law enforcement officer or any prosecutor, or the | 1620 |
assistants of a law enforcement officer or prosecutor, for the | 1621 |
purpose of determining whether the person is eligible for | 1622 |
diversion under division (E)(2) of section 4301.69 of the Revised | 1623 |
Code; | 1624 |
(5) At the request of a party in a civil action that is based | 1625 |
on a case the records for which are the subject of a sealing order | 1626 |
issued under section 2151.356 of the Revised Code, as needed for | 1627 |
the civil action. The party also may copy the records as needed | 1628 |
for the civil action. The sealed records shall be used solely in | 1629 |
the civil action and are otherwise confidential and subject to the | 1630 |
provisions of this section | 1631 |
| 1632 |
1633 | |
1634 | |
1635 | |
1636 |
(F) No officer or employee of the state or any of its | 1637 |
political subdivisions shall knowingly release, disseminate, or | 1638 |
make available for any purpose involving employment, bonding, | 1639 |
licensing, or education to any person or to any department, | 1640 |
agency, or other instrumentality of the state or of any of its | 1641 |
political subdivisions any information or other data concerning | 1642 |
any arrest, taking into custody, complaint, indictment, | 1643 |
information, trial, hearing, adjudication, or correctional | 1644 |
supervision, the records of which have been sealed pursuant to | 1645 |
section 2151.356 of the Revised Code and the release, | 1646 |
dissemination, or making available of which is not expressly | 1647 |
permitted by this section. Whoever violates this division is | 1648 |
guilty of divulging confidential information, a misdemeanor of the | 1649 |
fourth degree. | 1650 |
(G) In any application for employment, license, or other | 1651 |
right or privilege, any appearance as a witness, or any other | 1652 |
inquiry, a person may not be questioned with respect to any arrest | 1653 |
or taking into custody for which the records were sealed. If an | 1654 |
inquiry is made in violation of this division, the person may | 1655 |
respond as if the sealed arrest or taking into custody did not | 1656 |
occur, and the person shall not be subject to any adverse action | 1657 |
because of the arrest or taking into custody or the response. | 1658 |
(H) The judgment rendered by the court under this chapter | 1659 |
shall not impose any of the civil disabilities ordinarily imposed | 1660 |
by conviction of a crime in that the child is not a criminal by | 1661 |
reason of the adjudication, and no child shall be charged with or | 1662 |
convicted of a crime in any court except as provided by this | 1663 |
chapter. The disposition of a child under the judgment rendered or | 1664 |
any evidence given in court shall not operate to disqualify a | 1665 |
child in any future civil service examination, appointment, or | 1666 |
application. Evidence of a judgment rendered and the disposition | 1667 |
of a child under the judgment is not admissible to impeach the | 1668 |
credibility of the child in any action or proceeding. Otherwise, | 1669 |
the disposition of a child under the judgment rendered or any | 1670 |
evidence given in court is admissible as evidence for or against | 1671 |
the child in any action or proceeding in any court in accordance | 1672 |
with the Rules of Evidence and also may be considered by any court | 1673 |
as to the matter of sentence or to the granting of probation, and | 1674 |
a court may consider the judgment rendered and the disposition of | 1675 |
a child under that judgment for purposes of determining whether | 1676 |
the child, for a future criminal conviction or guilty plea, is a | 1677 |
repeat violent offender, as defined in section 2929.01 of the | 1678 |
Revised Code. | 1679 |
Sec. 2152.02. As used in this chapter: | 1680 |
(A) "Act charged" means the act that is identified in a | 1681 |
complaint, indictment, or information alleging that a child is a | 1682 |
delinquent child. | 1683 |
(B) "Admitted to a department of youth services facility" | 1684 |
includes admission to a facility operated, or contracted for, by | 1685 |
the department and admission to a comparable facility outside this | 1686 |
state by another state or the United States. | 1687 |
(C)(1) "Child" means a person who is under eighteen years of | 1688 |
age, except as otherwise provided in divisions (C)(2) to (8) of | 1689 |
this section. | 1690 |
(2) Subject to division (C)(3) of this section, any person | 1691 |
who violates a federal or state law or a municipal ordinance prior | 1692 |
to attaining eighteen years of age shall be deemed a "child" | 1693 |
irrespective of that person's age at the time the complaint with | 1694 |
respect to that violation is filed or the hearing on the complaint | 1695 |
is held. | 1696 |
(3) Any person who, while under eighteen years of age, | 1697 |
commits an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult and | 1698 |
who is not taken into custody or apprehended for that act until | 1699 |
after the person attains twenty-one years of age is not a child in | 1700 |
relation to that act. | 1701 |
(4) Except as otherwise provided in divisions (C)(5) and (7) | 1702 |
of this section, any person whose case is transferred for criminal | 1703 |
prosecution pursuant to section 2152.12 of the Revised Code shall | 1704 |
be deemed after the transfer not to be a child in the transferred | 1705 |
case. | 1706 |
(5) Any person whose case is transferred for criminal | 1707 |
prosecution pursuant to section 2152.12 of the Revised Code and | 1708 |

this section, it may order the department to deliver the child to | 2086 |
the court on the date set for the hearing and may order the | 2087 |
department to present to the court a report on the child's | 2088 |
progress in the institution to which the child was committed and | 2089 |
recommendations for conditions of supervision of the child by the | 2090 |
court after release. The court may conduct the hearing without the | 2091 |
child being present. The court shall determine at the hearing | 2092 |
whether the child should be granted a judicial release to court | 2093 |
supervision. | 2094 |
If the court approves the release under this division, it | 2095 |
shall order its staff to prepare a written treatment and | 2096 |
rehabilitation plan for the child that may include any conditions | 2097 |
of the child's release that were recommended by the department and | 2098 |
approved by the court. The committing court shall send the | 2099 |
juvenile court of the county in which the child is placed a copy | 2100 |
of the recommended plan. The court of the county in which the | 2101 |
child is placed may adopt the recommended conditions set by the | 2102 |
committing court as an order of the court and may add any | 2103 |
additional consistent conditions it considers appropriate. If a | 2104 |
child is granted a judicial release to court supervision, the | 2105 |
release discharges the child from the custody of the department of | 2106 |
youth services. | 2107 |
(C)(1) Unless the court grants judicial release under | 2108 |
division (D)(1)(b) of this section, the court that commits a | 2109 |
delinquent child to the department of youth services may grant | 2110 |
judicial release of the child to department of youth services | 2111 |
supervision under this division during the second half of the | 2112 |
prescribed minimum term for which the child was committed to the | 2113 |
department or, if the child was committed to the department until | 2114 |
the child attains twenty-one years of age, during the second half | 2115 |
of the prescribed period of commitment that begins on the first | 2116 |
day of commitment and ends on the child's twenty-first birthday, | 2117 |
provided any commitment imposed under division (A), (B), (C), or | 2118 |
(D) of section 2152.17 of the Revised Code has ended. | 2119 |
(2) If the department desires to release a child during a | 2120 |
period specified in division (C)(1) of this section, it shall | 2121 |
request the court that committed the child to grant a judicial | 2122 |
release to department of youth services supervision. During | 2123 |
whichever of those periods is applicable, the child or the child's | 2124 |
parent also may request the court that committed the child to | 2125 |
grant a judicial release to department of youth services | 2126 |
supervision. Upon receipt of a request for judicial release to | 2127 |
department of youth services supervision, the child, or the | 2128 |
child's parent, or upon its own motion at any time during that | 2129 |
period, the court shall do one of the following: approve the | 2130 |
release by journal entry; schedule a time within thirty days after | 2131 |
receipt of the request for a hearing on whether the child is to be | 2132 |
released; or reject the request by journal entry without | 2133 |
conducting a hearing. | 2134 |
If the court rejects an initial request for release under | 2135 |
this division by the child or the child's parent, the child or the | 2136 |
child's parent may make one or more subsequent requests for a | 2137 |
release within the applicable period, but may make no more than | 2138 |
one request during each period of ninety days that the child is in | 2139 |
a secure department facility after the filing of a prior request | 2140 |
for early release. Upon the filing of a request for release under | 2141 |
this division subsequent to an initial request, the court shall | 2142 |
either approve or disapprove the release by journal entry or | 2143 |
schedule a time within thirty days after receipt of the request | 2144 |
for a hearing on whether the child is to be released. | 2145 |
(3) If a court schedules a hearing under division (C)(2) of | 2146 |
this section, it may order the department to deliver the child to | 2147 |
the court on the date set for the hearing and shall order the | 2148 |
department to present to the court at that time a treatment plan | 2149 |
for the child's post-institutional care. The court may conduct the | 2150 |
hearing without the child being present. The court shall determine | 2151 |
at the hearing whether the child should be granted a judicial | 2152 |
release to department of youth services supervision. | 2153 |
If the court approves the judicial release to department of | 2154 |
youth services supervision, the department shall prepare a written | 2155 |
treatment and rehabilitation plan for the child pursuant to | 2156 |
division (F) of this section that shall include the conditions of | 2157 |
the child's release. It shall send the committing court and the | 2158 |
juvenile court of the county in which the child is placed a copy | 2159 |
of the plan. The court of the county in which the child is placed | 2160 |
may adopt the conditions set by the department as an order of the | 2161 |
court and may add any additional consistent conditions it | 2162 |
considers appropriate, provided that the court may not add any | 2163 |
condition that decreases the level or degree of supervision | 2164 |
specified by the department in its plan, that substantially | 2165 |
increases the financial burden of supervision that will be | 2166 |
experienced by the department, or that alters the placement | 2167 |
specified by the department in its plan. If the court of the | 2168 |
county in which the child is placed adds to the department's plan | 2169 |
any additional conditions, it shall enter those additional | 2170 |
conditions in its journal and shall send to the department a copy | 2171 |
of the journal entry of the additional conditions. | 2172 |
If the court approves the judicial release to department of | 2173 |
youth services supervision, the actual date on which the | 2174 |
department shall release the child is contingent upon the | 2175 |
department finding a suitable placement for the child. If the | 2176 |
child is to be returned to the child's home, the department shall | 2177 |
return the child on the date that the court schedules for the | 2178 |
child's release or shall bear the expense of any additional time | 2179 |
that the child remains in a department facility. If the child is | 2180 |
unable to return to the child's home, the department shall | 2181 |
exercise reasonable diligence in finding a suitable placement for | 2182 |
the child, and the child shall remain in a department facility | 2183 |
while the department finds the suitable placement. | 2184 |
(D)(1) Subject to division (D)(3) of this section, the court | 2185 |
that commits a delinquent child to the department of youth | 2186 |
services may grant judicial release of the child under this | 2187 |
division at any time after the expiration of one of the following | 2188 |
periods of time: | 2189 |
(a) Except as otherwise provided in division (D)(1)(b) of | 2190 |
this section, if the child was committed to the department for a | 2191 |
prescribed minimum period and a maximum period not to exceed the | 2192 |
child's attainment of twenty-one years, the court may grant | 2193 |
judicial release of the child at any time after the expiration of | 2194 |
the prescribed minimum term for which the child was committed to | 2195 |
the department. | 2196 |
(b) If the child was committed to the department for both one | 2197 |
or more definite periods under division (A), (B), (C), or (D) of | 2198 |
section 2152.17 of the Revised Code and a period of the type | 2199 |
described in division (D)(1)(a) of this section, all of the | 2200 |
prescribed minimum periods of commitment imposed under division | 2201 |
(A), (B), (C), or (D) of section 2152.17 of the Revised Code and | 2202 |
the prescribed period of commitment of the type described in | 2203 |
division (D)(1)(a) of this section shall be aggregated for | 2204 |
purposes of this division, and the court may grant judicial | 2205 |
release of the child at any time after the expiration of one year | 2206 |
after the child begins serving the aggregate period of commitment. | 2207 |
(2) If a court grants a judicial release of a child under | 2208 |
division (D)(1) of this section, the release shall be a judicial | 2209 |
release to department of youth services supervision, if the | 2210 |
release is granted during a period described in division (C)(1) of | 2211 |
this section, and the second and third paragraphs of division | 2212 |
(C)(3) of this section apply regarding the release. In all other | 2213 |
cases, the release shall be a judicial release to court | 2214 |
supervision, and the second paragraph of division (B)(3) of this | 2215 |
section applies regarding the release. | 2216 |
(3) A court at the time of making the disposition of a child | 2217 |
shall provide notice in the order of disposition that the judge is | 2218 |
retaining jurisdiction over the child for the purpose of a | 2219 |
possible grant of judicial release of the child under division | 2220 |
(D)(1) of this section. The failure of a court to provide this | 2221 |
notice does not affect the authority of the court to grant a | 2222 |
judicial release under that division and does not constitute | 2223 |
grounds for setting aside the child's delinquent child | 2224 |
adjudication or disposition or for granting any post-adjudication | 2225 |
relief to the child. | 2226 |
(4) The department of youth services, a child committed to | 2227 |
the department, or the parents of the child, during a period | 2228 |
specified in division (D)(1) of this section, may request the | 2229 |
court that committed the child to grant a judicial release of the | 2230 |
child under that division. Upon receipt of a request for judicial | 2231 |
release of a child under this division from the department, the | 2232 |
child, or the child's parent, or upon its own motion, the court | 2233 |
that committed the child shall do one of the following: | 2234 |
(a) Approve the request by journal entry; | 2235 |
(b) Schedule within thirty days after the request is received | 2236 |
a time for a hearing on whether the child is to be released; | 2237 |
(c) Reject the request by journal entry without conducting a | 2238 |
hearing. | 2239 |
If the court rejects an initial request for a release under | 2240 |
this division by the child or the child's parent, division (C)(2) | 2241 |
of this section applies regarding the making of additional | 2242 |
requests. | 2243 |
If the court schedules a hearing under this division to | 2244 |
consider the judicial release, the first paragraph of division | 2245 |
(B)(3) of this section applies regarding the hearing. | 2246 |
(E) If a child is released under division (B), (C), or (D) of | 2247 |
this section and the court of the county in which the child is | 2248 |
placed has reason to believe that the child's deportment is not in | 2249 |
accordance with the conditions of the child's judicial release, | 2250 |
the court of the county in which the child is placed shall | 2251 |
schedule a time for a hearing to determine whether the child | 2252 |
violated any of the post-release conditions, and, if the child was | 2253 |
released under division (C) of this section or under division (D) | 2254 |
of this section under department supervision, divisions (A) to (E) | 2255 |
of section 5139.52 of the Revised Code apply regarding the child. | 2256 |
If that court determines at the hearing that the child | 2257 |
violated any of the post-release conditions, the court, if it | 2258 |
determines that the violation was a serious violation, may order | 2259 |
the child to be returned to the department for | 2260 |
institutionalization, consistent with the original order of | 2261 |
commitment of the child, or in any case may make any other | 2262 |
disposition of the child authorized by law that the court | 2263 |
considers proper. If the court of the county in which the child is | 2264 |
placed orders the child to be returned to a department of youth | 2265 |
services institution, the time during which the child was held in | 2266 |
a secure department facility prior to the child's judicial release | 2267 |
shall be considered as time served in fulfilling the prescribed | 2268 |
period of institutionalization that is applicable to the child | 2269 |
under the child's original order of commitment. If the court | 2270 |
orders the child returned to a department institution, the child | 2271 |
shall remain in institutional care for a minimum of three months | 2272 |
or until the child successfully completes a revocation program of | 2273 |
a duration of not less than thirty days operated either by the | 2274 |
department or by an entity with which the department has | 2275 |
contracted to provide a revocation program. | 2276 |
(F) The department of youth services, prior to the release of | 2277 |
a child pursuant to division (C) of this section or pursuant to | 2278 |
division (D) of this section on department supervision, shall do | 2279 |
all of the following: | 2280 |
(1) After reviewing the child's rehabilitative progress | 2281 |
history and medical and educational records, prepare a written | 2282 |
treatment and rehabilitation plan for the child that includes | 2283 |
conditions of the release; | 2284 |
(2) Completely discuss the conditions of the plan prepared | 2285 |
pursuant to division (F)(1) of this section and the possible | 2286 |
penalties for violation of the plan with the child and the child's | 2287 |
parents, guardian, or legal custodian; | 2288 |
(3) Have the plan prepared pursuant to division (F)(1) of | 2289 |
this section signed by the child, the child's parents, legal | 2290 |
guardian, or custodian, and any authority or person that is to | 2291 |
supervise, control, and provide supportive assistance to the child | 2292 |
at the time of the child's release pursuant to division (C) or (D) | 2293 |
of this section; | 2294 |
(4) Prior to the child's release, file a copy of the | 2295 |
treatment plan prepared pursuant to division (F)(1) of this | 2296 |
section with the committing court and the juvenile court of the | 2297 |
county in which the child is to be placed. | 2298 |
(G) The department of youth services shall file a written | 2299 |
progress report with the committing court regarding each child | 2300 |
released pursuant to division (C) of this section or released | 2301 |
pursuant to division (D) of this section on judicial release to | 2302 |
department supervision at least once every thirty days unless | 2303 |
specifically directed otherwise by the court. The report shall | 2304 |
indicate the treatment and rehabilitative progress of the child | 2305 |
and the child's family, if applicable, and shall include any | 2306 |
suggestions for altering the program, custody, living | 2307 |
arrangements, or treatment. The department shall retain legal | 2308 |
custody of a child so released until it discharges the child or | 2309 |
until the custody is terminated as otherwise provided by law. | 2310 |
(H) When a child is committed to the legal custody of the | 2311 |
department of youth services, the court retains jurisdiction to | 2312 |
perform the functions specified in section 5139.51 of the Revised | 2313 |
Code with respect to the granting of supervised release by the | 2314 |
release authority and to perform the functions specified in | 2315 |
section 5139.52 of the Revised Code with respect to violations of | 2316 |
the conditions of supervised release granted by the release | 2317 |
authority and to the revocation of supervised release granted by | 2318 |
the release authority. | 2319 |
Sec. 2152.82. (A) The court that adjudicates a child a | 2320 |
delinquent child shall issue as part of the dispositional order an | 2321 |
order that classifies the child a juvenile offender registrant and | 2322 |
specifies that the child has a duty to comply with sections | 2323 |
2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code if all | 2324 |
of the following apply: | 2325 |
(1) The act for which the child is adjudicated a delinquent | 2326 |

(2) The child was fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen | 2329 |
years of age at the time of committing the offense. | 2330 |
(3) The court has determined that the child previously was | 2331 |
adjudicated a delinquent child for committing any sexually | 2332 |
oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense, regardless of | 2333 |
when the prior offense was committed and regardless of the child's | 2334 |
age at the time of committing the offense. | 2335 |
| 2336 |
2337 | |
2338 | |
2339 |
(B) An order required under division (A) of this section | 2340 |
shall be issued at the time the judge makes the order of | 2341 |
disposition for the delinquent child. Prior to issuing the order | 2342 |
required by division (A) of this section, the judge shall conduct | 2343 |
a hearing under section 2152.831 of the Revised Code | 2344 |
child committed the delinquent act prior to January 1, 2008, at | 2345 |
the hearing the judge shall determine pursuant to that section | 2346 |

child-victim predator, or a habitual child-victim offender. If the | 2348 |
child committed the delinquent act on or after January 1, 2008, | 2349 |
the judge shall determine at the hearing whether the child is a | 2350 |
tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex | 2351 |
offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex | 2352 |
offender/child-victim offender. If the court determines that the | 2353 |
delinquent child to whom the order applies is a tier III sex | 2354 |
offender/child-victim offender | 2355 |
2356 | |
impose a requirement subjecting the child to the victim and | 2357 |
community notification provisions of sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 | 2358 |
of the Revised Code. | 2359 |
When a judge issues an order under division (A) of this | 2360 |
section, all of the following apply: | 2361 |
(1) The judge shall include in the order a statement that, | 2362 |
upon completion of the disposition of the delinquent child that | 2363 |
was made for the sexually oriented offense or child-victim | 2364 |
oriented offense upon which the order is based, a hearing will be | 2365 |
conducted, and the order and any determinations included in the | 2366 |
order are subject to modification or termination pursuant to | 2367 |
sections 2152.84 and 2152.85 of the Revised Code. | 2368 |
(2) The judge shall provide to the delinquent child and to | 2369 |
the delinquent child's parent, guardian, or custodian the notice | 2370 |

made pursuant to this section. | 2377 |
(4) If the delinquent child committed the delinquent act on | 2378 |
or after January 1, 2008, if the court determines that the | 2379 |
delinquent child to whom the order applies is a tier III sex | 2380 |
offender/child-victim offender, | 2381 |
2382 | |
imposes a requirement subjecting the child to the victim and | 2383 |
community notification provisions of sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 | 2384 |
of the Revised Code, the judge shall include the requirement in | 2385 |
the order. | 2386 |
(5) | 2387 |
on or after January 1, 2008, the court shall include in the order | 2388 |
its determination made at the hearing held under section 2151.831 | 2389 |
of the Revised Code as to whether the delinquent child is a tier I | 2390 |
sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex | 2391 |
offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex | 2392 |
offender/child-victim offender. | 2393 |
(6) If the delinquent child committed the delinquent act | 2394 |
prior to January 1, 2008, the court shall include in the order any | 2395 |
determination that the delinquent child is a sexual predator or | 2396 |
child-victim predator or is a habitual sex offender or habitual | 2397 |
child-victim offender that the judge makes pursuant to division | 2398 |
(B) or (E) of section 2950.09 or 2950.091 of the Revised Code and | 2399 |
any related information required or authorized under the division | 2400 |
under which the determination is made, including, but not limited | 2401 |
to, any requirements imposed by the court subjecting a child who | 2402 |
is a habitual sex offender or habitual child-victim offender to | 2403 |
community notification as described in division (E) of section | 2404 |
2950.09 or division (E) of section 2950.091 of the Revised Code. | 2405 |

the period of time specified in section 2950.07 of the Revised | 2409 |
Code, subject to a modification or termination of the order under | 2410 |
section 2152.84 or 2152.85 of the Revised Code, and section | 2411 |
2152.851 of the Revised Code applies regarding the order and the | 2412 |
determinations. If an order is issued under division (A) of this | 2413 |
section, the child's attainment of eighteen or twenty-one years of | 2414 |
age does not affect or terminate the order, and the order remains | 2415 |
in effect for the period of time described in this division. | 2416 |

2418 | |
2419 | |

2430 | |
2431 | |
2432 |
| 2433 |
2434 | |
2435 | |
2436 | |
child's attainment of eighteen or twenty-one years of age does not | 2437 |
affect or terminate the ability of the juvenile court to conduct a | 2438 |
hearing under this section with respect to the child. | 2439 |
Sec. 2152.83. (A)(1) The court that adjudicates a child a | 2440 |
delinquent child shall issue as part of or subsequent to the | 2441 |
dispositional order or, if the court commits the child for the | 2442 |
delinquent act to the custody of a secure facility, shall issue at | 2443 |
the time of or subsequent to the child's release from the secure | 2444 |
facility an order that classifies the child a juvenile offender | 2445 |
registrant and specifies that the child has a duty to comply with | 2446 |
sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised | 2447 |
Code if all of the following apply: | 2448 |

(2) Prior to issuing the order required by division (A) | 2460 |
of this section, the judge shall conduct a hearing under section | 2461 |
2152.831 of the Revised Code | 2462 |
2463 | |

to that section whether the child is a sexual predator, a habitual | 2465 |
sex offender, a child-victim predator, or a habitual child-victim | 2466 |
offender. If the child committed the delinquent act on or after | 2467 |
January 1, 2008, the judge shall determine whether the child is a | 2468 |
tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex | 2469 |
offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex | 2470 |
offender/child-victim offender. | 2471 |
When a judge issues an order under division (A)(1) of this | 2472 |
section, the judge shall include in the order the determinations | 2473 |
identified in division (B)(5) or (6) of section 2152.82 of the | 2474 |
Revised Code, whichever is applicable. | 2475 |
(B)(1) The court that adjudicates a child a delinquent child, | 2476 |
on the judge's own motion, may conduct at the time of or | 2477 |
subsequent to the disposition of the child or, if the court | 2478 |
commits the child for the delinquent act to the custody of a | 2479 |
secure facility, may conduct at the time of or subsequent to the | 2480 |
child's release from the secure facility a hearing for the | 2481 |

(viii) The offender held a public office or position of | 4132 |
trust, and the offense related to that office or position; the | 4133 |
offender's position obliged the offender to prevent the offense or | 4134 |

professional reputation or position facilitated the offense or was | 4136 |

(ix) The offender committed the offense for hire or as part | 4138 |

court, if any. Upon making a request under this division that | 4161 |
relates to a particular offender, a court shall defer sentencing | 4162 |
of that offender until it receives from the department the names | 4163 |
of, contact information for, and program details of one or more | 4164 |
community control sanctions of at least one year's duration that | 4165 |
are available for persons sentenced by the court or for forty-five | 4166 |

If the department provides the court with the names of, | 4168 |
contact information for, and program details of one or more | 4169 |
community control sanctions of at least one year's duration that | 4170 |

division (B)(1)(a) of this section, except that the court may | 4174 |
impose a prison term under division (B)(1)(b) of this section if a | 4175 |
factor described in division (B)(1)(b)(i) or (ii) of this section | 4176 |
applies. If the department does not provide the court with the | 4177 |
names of, contact information for, and program details of one or | 4178 |
more community control sanctions of at least one year's duration | 4179 |
that are available for persons sentenced by the court within the | 4180 |
forty-five-day period specified in this division, the court may | 4181 |

division (B) of section 2929.15 of the Revised Code upon an | 4185 |
offender sentenced to a community control sanction under division | 4186 |
(B)(1)(a) of this section if the offender violates the conditions | 4187 |
of the community control sanction, violates a law, or leaves the | 4188 |
state without the permission of the court or the offender's | 4189 |
probation officer. | 4190 |
(2) If division (B)(1) of this section does not apply, except | 4191 |
as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this section, in | 4192 |
determining whether to impose a prison term as a sanction for a | 4193 |
felony of the fourth or fifth degree, the sentencing court shall | 4194 |
comply with the purposes and principles of sentencing under | 4195 |
section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of | 4196 |
the Revised Code. | 4197 |
(C) Except as provided in division (D), (E), (F), or (G) of | 4198 |
this section, in determining whether to impose a prison term as a | 4199 |
sanction for a felony of the third degree or a felony drug offense | 4200 |
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised | 4201 |
Code and that is specified as being subject to this division for | 4202 |
purposes of sentencing, the sentencing court shall comply with the | 4203 |
purposes and principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the | 4204 |
Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of the Revised Code. | 4205 |
(D)(1) Except as provided in division (E) or (F) of this | 4206 |
section, for a felony of the first or second degree, for a felony | 4207 |
drug offense that is a violation of any provision of Chapter | 4208 |
2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption | 4209 |
in favor of a prison term is specified as being applicable, and | 4210 |
for a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of section 2907.05 of | 4211 |
the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a prison term | 4212 |
is specified as being applicable, it is presumed that a prison | 4213 |
term is necessary in order to comply with the purposes and | 4214 |
principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the Revised | 4215 |
Code. Division (D)(2) of this section does not apply to a | 4216 |
presumption established under this division for a violation of | 4217 |
division (A)(4) of section 2907.05 of the Revised Code. | 4218 |
(2) Notwithstanding the presumption established under | 4219 |
division (D)(1) of this section for the offenses listed in that | 4220 |
division other than a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of | 4221 |
section 2907.05 of the Revised Code, the sentencing court may | 4222 |
impose a community control sanction or a combination of community | 4223 |
control sanctions instead of a prison term on an offender for a | 4224 |
felony of the first or second degree or for a felony drug offense | 4225 |
that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 2925., 3719., or | 4226 |
4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a | 4227 |
prison term is specified as being applicable if it makes both of | 4228 |
the following findings: | 4229 |
(a) A community control sanction or a combination of | 4230 |
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender | 4231 |
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable | 4232 |
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a | 4233 |
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors | 4234 |
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism. | 4235 |
(b) A community control sanction or a combination of | 4236 |
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of | 4237 |
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of | 4238 |
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was | 4239 |
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are | 4240 |
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that | 4241 |
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious | 4242 |
than conduct normally constituting the offense. | 4243 |
(E)(1) Except as provided in division (F) of this section, | 4244 |
for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of | 4245 |
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the | 4246 |
third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of a presumption | 4247 |
under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of | 4248 |
division (B) or (C) of this section in determining whether to | 4249 |
impose a prison term for the offense shall be determined as | 4250 |
specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06, | 4251 |
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 2925.37 of the | 4252 |
Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation. | 4253 |
(2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to | 4254 |
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction | 4255 |
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive | 4256 |
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation | 4257 |
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned | 4258 |
unless the court determines on the record either of the following: | 4259 |
(a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the | 4260 |
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug | 4261 |
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program, | 4262 |
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable | 4263 |
period of participation in the program. | 4264 |
(b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is | 4265 |
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set | 4266 |
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code. | 4267 |
(3) A court that sentences an offender for a drug abuse | 4268 |
offense that is a felony of the third, fourth, or fifth degree may | 4269 |
require that the offender be assessed by a properly credentialed | 4270 |
professional within a specified period of time. The court shall | 4271 |
require the professional to file a written assessment of the | 4272 |
offender with the court. If the offender is eligible for a | 4273 |
community control sanction and after considering the written | 4274 |
assessment, the court may impose a community control sanction that | 4275 |
includes treatment and recovery support services authorized by | 4276 |
section 3793.02 of the Revised Code. If the court imposes | 4277 |
treatment and recovery support services as a community control | 4278 |
sanction, the court shall direct the level and type of treatment | 4279 |
and recovery support services after considering the assessment and | 4280 |
recommendation of treatment and recovery support services | 4281 |
providers. | 4282 |
(F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, the | 4283 |
court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections 2929.02 | 4284 |
to 2929.06, section 2929.14, section 2929.142, or section 2971.03 | 4285 |
of the Revised Code and except as specifically provided in section | 4286 |
2929.20, divisions (C) to (I) of section 2967.19, or section | 4287 |
2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is authorized for the | 4288 |
offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised Code shall not reduce | 4289 |
the term or terms pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.19, | 4290 |
section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. or | 4291 |
Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code for any of the following | 4292 |
offenses: | 4293 |
(1) Aggravated murder when death is not imposed or murder; | 4294 |
(2) Any rape, regardless of whether force was involved and | 4295 |
regardless of the age of the victim, or an attempt to commit rape | 4296 |
if, had the offender completed the rape that was attempted, the | 4297 |
offender would have been guilty of a violation of division | 4298 |
(A)(1)(b) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and would be | 4299 |
sentenced under section 2971.03 of the Revised Code; | 4300 |
(3) Gross sexual imposition or sexual battery, if the victim | 4301 |
is less than thirteen years of age and if any of the following | 4302 |

the former offense of felonious sexual penetration, or sexual | 4317 |
battery, and the victim of the previous offense was less than | 4318 |
thirteen years of age. | 4319 |
(ii) The offense was committed on or after August 3, 2006. | 4320 |
(4) A felony violation of section 2903.04, 2903.06, 2903.08, | 4321 |
2903.11, 2903.12, 2903.13, 2905.32, or 2907.07 of the Revised Code | 4322 |
if the section requires the imposition of a prison term; | 4323 |
(5) A first, second, or third degree felony drug offense for | 4324 |
which section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06, | 4325 |

pursuant to division (B)(8) of section 2929.14 of the Revised | 4414 |

(G) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, if | 4416 |
an offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony OVI | 4417 |
offense or for a third degree felony OVI offense, the court shall | 4418 |
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration | 4419 |
or a mandatory prison term in accordance with the following: | 4420 |
(1) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree | 4421 |
felony OVI offense and if the offender has not been convicted of | 4422 |
and has not pleaded guilty to a specification of the type | 4423 |
described in section 2941.1413 of the Revised Code, the court may | 4424 |
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration | 4425 |
of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in division | 4426 |
(G)(1)(d) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. The court shall | 4427 |
not reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.193, or any | 4428 |
other provision of the Revised Code. The court that imposes a | 4429 |
mandatory term of local incarceration under this division shall | 4430 |
specify whether the term is to be served in a jail, a | 4431 |
community-based correctional facility, a halfway house, or an | 4432 |
alternative residential facility, and the offender shall serve the | 4433 |
term in the type of facility specified by the court. A mandatory | 4434 |
term of local incarceration imposed under division (G)(1) of this | 4435 |
section is not subject to any other Revised Code provision that | 4436 |
pertains to a prison term except as provided in division (A)(1) of | 4437 |
this section. | 4438 |
(2) If the offender is being sentenced for a third degree | 4439 |
felony OVI offense, or if the offender is being sentenced for a | 4440 |
fourth degree felony OVI offense and the court does not impose a | 4441 |
mandatory term of local incarceration under division (G)(1) of | 4442 |
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory | 4443 |
prison term of one, two, three, four, or five years if the | 4444 |
offender also is convicted of or also pleads guilty to a | 4445 |
specification of the type described in section 2941.1413 of the | 4446 |
Revised Code or shall impose upon the offender a mandatory prison | 4447 |
term of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in | 4448 |
division (G)(1)(d) or (e) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code | 4449 |
if the offender has not been convicted of and has not pleaded | 4450 |
guilty to a specification of that type. Subject to divisions (C) | 4451 |
to (I) of section 2967.19 of the Revised Code, the court shall not | 4452 |
reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.19, 2967.193, or | 4453 |
any other provision of the Revised Code. The offender shall serve | 4454 |
the one-, two-, three-, four-, or five-year mandatory prison term | 4455 |
consecutively to and prior to the prison term imposed for the | 4456 |
underlying offense and consecutively to any other mandatory prison | 4457 |
term imposed in relation to the offense. In no case shall an | 4458 |
offender who once has been sentenced to a mandatory term of local | 4459 |
incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1) of this section for a | 4460 |
fourth degree felony OVI offense be sentenced to another mandatory | 4461 |
term of local incarceration under that division for any violation | 4462 |
of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. In | 4463 |
addition to the mandatory prison term described in division (G)(2) | 4464 |
of this section, the court may sentence the offender to a | 4465 |
community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the | 4466 |
Revised Code, but the offender shall serve the prison term prior | 4467 |
to serving the community control sanction. The department of | 4468 |
rehabilitation and correction may place an offender sentenced to a | 4469 |
mandatory prison term under this division in an intensive program | 4470 |
prison established pursuant to section 5120.033 of the Revised | 4471 |
Code if the department gave the sentencing judge prior notice of | 4472 |
its intent to place the offender in an intensive program prison | 4473 |
established under that section and if the judge did not notify the | 4474 |
department that the judge disapproved the placement. Upon the | 4475 |
establishment of the initial intensive program prison pursuant to | 4476 |
section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is privately operated | 4477 |
and managed by a contractor pursuant to a contract entered into | 4478 |
under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both of the following | 4479 |
apply: | 4480 |
(a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall | 4481 |
make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of | 4482 |
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division | 4483 |
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that | 4484 |
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy. | 4485 |
(b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full | 4486 |
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall | 4487 |
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under | 4488 |
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant | 4489 |
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately | 4490 |
operated and managed prison. | 4491 |
(H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented | 4492 |
offense or child-victim oriented offense that is a felony | 4493 |
committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall require the | 4494 |
offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection procedure pursuant | 4495 |
to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code. | 4496 |
(I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented | 4497 |
offense or a child-victim oriented offense committed on or after | 4498 |
January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a summary | 4499 |
of the offender's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, 2950.041, | 4500 |
2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and the duration of the | 4501 |
duties. The judge shall inform the offender, at the time of | 4502 |
sentencing, of those duties and of their duration. If required | 4503 |
under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, the | 4504 |
judge shall perform the duties specified in that section, or, if | 4505 |
required under division (A) | 4506 |
Revised Code, the judge shall perform the duties specified in that | 4507 |
division. | 4508 |
(J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, | 4509 |
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation | 4510 |
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt | 4511 |
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the | 4512 |
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors | 4513 |
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section | 4514 |
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to | 4515 |
the felony category of the offense attempted. | 4516 |
(2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in | 4517 |
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an | 4518 |
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is | 4519 |
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled | 4520 |
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court | 4521 |
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that | 4522 |
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse | 4523 |
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of | 4524 |
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next | 4525 |
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in | 4526 |
the attempt. | 4527 |
(K) As used in this section: | 4528 |
(1) "Drug abuse offense" has the same meaning as in section | 4529 |
2925.01 of the Revised Code. | 4530 |
(2) "Qualifying assault offense" means a violation of section | 4531 |
2903.13 of the Revised Code for which the penalty provision in | 4532 |
division (C)(7)(b) or (C)(8)(b) of that section applies. | 4533 |
(L) At the time of sentencing an offender for any sexually | 4534 |
oriented offense, if the offender is a tier III sex | 4535 |
offender/child-victim offender or sexual predator relative to that | 4536 |
offense and the offender does not serve a prison term or jail | 4537 |
term, the court may require that the offender be monitored by | 4538 |
means of a global positioning device. If the court requires such | 4539 |
monitoring, the cost of monitoring shall be borne by the offender. | 4540 |
If the offender is indigent, the cost of compliance shall be paid | 4541 |
by the crime victims reparations fund. | 4542 |
Sec. 2929.19. (A)(1) The court shall hold a sentencing | 4543 |
hearing before imposing a sentence under this chapter upon an | 4544 |
offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a felony and | 4545 |
before resentencing an offender who was convicted of or pleaded | 4546 |
guilty to a felony and whose case was remanded pursuant to section | 4547 |
2953.07 or 2953.08 of the Revised Code. At the hearing, the | 4548 |
offender, the prosecuting attorney, the victim or the victim's | 4549 |
representative in accordance with section 2930.14 of the Revised | 4550 |
Code, and, with the approval of the court, any other person may | 4551 |
present information relevant to the imposition of sentence in the | 4552 |
case. The court shall inform the offender of the verdict of the | 4553 |
jury or finding of the court and ask the offender whether the | 4554 |
offender has anything to say as to why sentence should not be | 4555 |
imposed upon the offender. | 4556 |
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this division, before | 4557 |
imposing sentence on an offender who is being sentenced for a | 4558 |
sexually oriented offense committed prior to January 1, 2008, the | 4559 |
court shall conduct a hearing in accordance with division (B) of | 4560 |
section 2950.09 of the Revised Code to determine whether the | 4561 |
offender is a sexual predator, and the court also shall comply | 4562 |
with division (E) of that section. The court shall not conduct the | 4563 |
hearing in circumstances in which section 2950.09 of the Revised | 4564 |
Code specifies that the hearing is not to be conducted. | 4565 |
Before imposing sentence on an offender who is being | 4566 |
sentenced for a child-victim oriented offense committed prior to | 4567 |
January 1, 2008, the court shall conduct a hearing in accordance | 4568 |
with division (B) of section 2950.091 of the Revised Code to | 4569 |
determine whether the offender is a child-victim predator, and the | 4570 |
court also shall comply with division (E) of that section. | 4571 |
(B)(1) At the sentencing hearing, the court, before imposing | 4572 |
sentence, shall consider the record, any information presented at | 4573 |
the hearing by any person pursuant to division (A) of this | 4574 |
section, and, if one was prepared, the presentence investigation | 4575 |
report made pursuant to section 2951.03 of the Revised Code or | 4576 |
Criminal Rule 32.2, and any victim impact statement made pursuant | 4577 |
to section 2947.051 of the Revised Code. | 4578 |
(2) Subject to division (B)(3) of this section, if the | 4579 |
sentencing court determines at the sentencing hearing that a | 4580 |
prison term is necessary or required, the court shall do all of | 4581 |
the following: | 4582 |
(a) Impose a stated prison term and, if the court imposes a | 4583 |
mandatory prison term, notify the offender that the prison term is | 4584 |
a mandatory prison term; | 4585 |
(b) In addition to any other information, include in the | 4586 |
sentencing entry the name and section reference to the offense or | 4587 |
offenses, the sentence or sentences imposed and whether the | 4588 |
sentence or sentences contain mandatory prison terms, if sentences | 4589 |
are imposed for multiple counts whether the sentences are to be | 4590 |
served concurrently or consecutively, and the name and section | 4591 |
reference of any specification or specifications for which | 4592 |
sentence is imposed and the sentence or sentences imposed for the | 4593 |
specification or specifications; | 4594 |
(c) Notify the offender that the offender will be supervised | 4595 |
under section 2967.28 of the Revised Code after the offender | 4596 |
leaves prison if the offender is being sentenced for a felony of | 4597 |
the first degree or second degree, for a felony sex offense, or | 4598 |
for a felony of the third degree that is not a felony sex offense | 4599 |
and in the commission of which the offender caused or threatened | 4600 |
to cause physical harm to a person. This division applies with | 4601 |
respect to all prison terms imposed for an offense of a type | 4602 |
described in this division, including a term imposed for any such | 4603 |
offense that is a risk reduction sentence, as defined in section | 4604 |
2967.28 of the Revised Code. If a court imposes a sentence | 4605 |
including a prison term of a type described in division (B)(2)(c) | 4606 |
of this section on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a court | 4607 |
to notify the offender pursuant to division (B)(2)(c) of this | 4608 |
section that the offender will be supervised under section 2967.28 | 4609 |
of the Revised Code after the offender leaves prison or to include | 4610 |
in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal a statement | 4611 |
to that effect does not negate, limit, or otherwise affect the | 4612 |
mandatory period of supervision that is required for the offender | 4613 |
under division (B) of section 2967.28 of the Revised Code. Section | 4614 |
2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, prior to July 11, 2006, a | 4615 |
court imposed a sentence including a prison term of a type | 4616 |
described in division (B)(2)(c) of this section and failed to | 4617 |
notify the offender pursuant to division (B)(2)(c) of this section | 4618 |
regarding post-release control or to include in the judgment of | 4619 |
conviction entered on the journal or in the sentence a statement | 4620 |
regarding post-release control. | 4621 |
(d) Notify the offender that the offender may be supervised | 4622 |
under section 2967.28 of the Revised Code after the offender | 4623 |
leaves prison if the offender is being sentenced for a felony of | 4624 |
the third, fourth, or fifth degree that is not subject to division | 4625 |
(B)(2)(c) of this section. This division applies with respect to | 4626 |
all prison terms imposed for an offense of a type described in | 4627 |
this division, including a term imposed for any such offense that | 4628 |
is a risk reduction sentence, as defined in section 2967.28 of the | 4629 |
Revised Code. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, | 4630 |
prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a | 4631 |
prison term of a type described in division (B)(2)(d) of this | 4632 |
section and failed to notify the offender pursuant to division | 4633 |
(B)(2)(d) of this section regarding post-release control or to | 4634 |
include in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal or in | 4635 |
the sentence a statement regarding post-release control. | 4636 |
(e) Notify the offender that, if a period of supervision is | 4637 |
imposed following the offender's release from prison, as described | 4638 |
in division (B)(2)(c) or (d) of this section, and if the offender | 4639 |
violates that supervision or a condition of post-release control | 4640 |
imposed under division (B) of section 2967.131 of the Revised | 4641 |
Code, the parole board may impose a prison term, as part of the | 4642 |
sentence, of up to one-half of the stated prison term originally | 4643 |
imposed upon the offender. If a court imposes a sentence including | 4644 |
a prison term on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a court to | 4645 |
notify the offender pursuant to division (B)(2)(e) of this section | 4646 |
that the parole board may impose a prison term as described in | 4647 |
division (B)(2)(e) of this section for a violation of that | 4648 |
supervision or a condition of post-release control imposed under | 4649 |
division (B) of section 2967.131 of the Revised Code or to include | 4650 |
in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal a statement | 4651 |
to that effect does not negate, limit, or otherwise affect the | 4652 |
authority of the parole board to so impose a prison term for a | 4653 |
violation of that nature if, pursuant to division (D)(1) of | 4654 |
section 2967.28 of the Revised Code, the parole board notifies the | 4655 |
offender prior to the offender's release of the board's authority | 4656 |
to so impose a prison term. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code | 4657 |
applies if, prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence | 4658 |
including a prison term and failed to notify the offender pursuant | 4659 |
to division (B)(2)(e) of this section regarding the possibility of | 4660 |
the parole board imposing a prison term for a violation of | 4661 |
supervision or a condition of post-release control. | 4662 |
(f) Require that the offender not ingest or be injected with | 4663 |
a drug of abuse and submit to random drug testing as provided in | 4664 |
section 341.26, 753.33, or 5120.63 of the Revised Code, whichever | 4665 |
is applicable to the offender who is serving a prison term, and | 4666 |
require that the results of the drug test administered under any | 4667 |
of those sections indicate that the offender did not ingest or was | 4668 |
not injected with a drug of abuse. | 4669 |
(g)(i) Determine, notify the offender of, and include in the | 4670 |
sentencing entry the number of days that the offender has been | 4671 |
confined for any reason arising out of the offense for which the | 4672 |
offender is being sentenced and by which the department of | 4673 |
rehabilitation and correction must reduce the stated prison term | 4674 |
under section 2967.191 of the Revised Code. The court's | 4675 |
calculation shall not include the number of days, if any, that the | 4676 |
offender previously served in the custody of the department of | 4677 |
rehabilitation and correction arising out of the offense for which | 4678 |
the prisoner was convicted and sentenced. | 4679 |
(ii) In making a determination under division (B)(2)(g)(i) of | 4680 |
this section, the court shall consider the arguments of the | 4681 |
parties and conduct a hearing if one is requested. | 4682 |
(iii) The sentencing court retains continuing jurisdiction to | 4683 |
correct any error not previously raised at sentencing in making a | 4684 |
determination under division (B)(2)(g)(i) of this section. The | 4685 |
offender may, at any time after sentencing, file a motion in the | 4686 |
sentencing court to correct any error made in making a | 4687 |
determination under division (B)(2)(g)(i) of this section, and the | 4688 |

(B) On and after the effective date of this amendment, both | 5520 |
of the following apply: | 5521 |
(1) The provisions of this chapter and of Chapter 2152. of | 5522 |

this amendment is made and that specify that they apply with | 5524 |
respect to a person who is or has been convicted of a sexually | 5525 |
oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense committed prior | 5526 |
to January 1, 2008, or to a person who is or has been adjudicated | 5527 |
a delinquent child for a sexually oriented offense or child-victim | 5528 |
oriented offense committed prior to January 1, 2008, apply with | 5529 |
respect to such persons. | 5530 |
(2) Except as provided in division (B)(1) of this section, | 5531 |
the provisions of this chapter and of Chapter 2152. of the Revised | 5532 |
Code as they existed prior to July 1, 2007, apply with respect to | 5533 |
a person who is or has been convicted of a sexually oriented | 5534 |

January 1, 2008, or to a person who is or has been adjudicated a | 5536 |

oriented offense committed prior to January 1, 2008, except to the | 5538 |
extent that by their nature they clearly would be inapplicable. | 5539 |
Sec. 2950.02. (A) The general assembly hereby determines and | 5540 |
declares that it recognizes and finds all of the following: | 5541 |
(1) If the public is provided adequate notice and information | 5542 |
about offenders and delinquent children who commit sexually | 5543 |
oriented offenses or who commit child-victim oriented offenses, | 5544 |
members of the public and communities can develop constructive | 5545 |
plans to prepare themselves and their children for the offender's | 5546 |
or delinquent child's release from imprisonment, a prison term, or | 5547 |
other confinement or detention. This allows members of the public | 5548 |
and communities to meet with members of law enforcement agencies | 5549 |
to prepare and obtain information about the rights and | 5550 |
responsibilities of the public and the communities and to provide | 5551 |
education and counseling to their children. | 5552 |
(2) Sex offenders and child-victim offenders pose a risk of | 5553 |
engaging in further sexually abusive behavior even after being | 5554 |
released from imprisonment, a prison term, or other confinement or | 5555 |
detention, and protection of members of the public from sex | 5556 |
offenders and child-victim offenders is a paramount governmental | 5557 |
interest. | 5558 |
(3) The penal, juvenile, and mental health components of the | 5559 |
justice system of this state are largely hidden from public view, | 5560 |
and a lack of information from any component may result in the | 5561 |
failure of the system to satisfy this paramount governmental | 5562 |
interest of public safety described in division (A)(2) of this | 5563 |
section. | 5564 |
(4) Overly restrictive confidentiality and liability laws | 5565 |
governing the release of information about sex offenders and | 5566 |
child-victim offenders have reduced the willingness to release | 5567 |
information that could be appropriately released under the public | 5568 |
disclosure laws and have increased risks of public safety. | 5569 |
(5) A person who is found to be a sex offender or a | 5570 |
child-victim offender has a reduced expectation of privacy because | 5571 |
of the public's interest in public safety and in the effective | 5572 |
operation of government. | 5573 |
(6) The release of information about sex offenders and | 5574 |
child-victim offenders to public agencies and the general public | 5575 |
will further the governmental interests of public safety and | 5576 |
public scrutiny of the criminal, juvenile, and mental health | 5577 |
systems as long as the information released is rationally related | 5578 |
to the furtherance of those goals. | 5579 |
(B) The general assembly hereby declares that, in providing | 5580 |
in this chapter for registration regarding offenders and certain | 5581 |
delinquent children who have committed sexually oriented offenses | 5582 |
or who have committed child-victim oriented offenses and for | 5583 |
community notification regarding tier III sex | 5584 |
offenders/child-victim offenders, sexual predators, child-victim | 5585 |
predators, habitual sex offenders, and habitual child-victim | 5586 |
offenders who are criminal offenders | 5587 |
5588 | |
registrants who are about to be or have been released from | 5589 |
imprisonment, a prison term, or other confinement or detention and | 5590 |
who will live in or near a particular neighborhood or who | 5591 |
otherwise will live in or near a particular neighborhood, it is | 5592 |
the general assembly's intent to protect the safety and general | 5593 |
welfare of the people of this state. The general assembly further | 5594 |
declares that it is the policy of this state to require the | 5595 |
exchange in accordance with this chapter of relevant information | 5596 |
about sex offenders and child-victim offenders among public | 5597 |
agencies and officials and to authorize the release in accordance | 5598 |
with this chapter of necessary and relevant information about sex | 5599 |
offenders and child-victim offenders to members of the general | 5600 |
public as a means of assuring public protection and that the | 5601 |
exchange or release of that information is not punitive. | 5602 |
Sec. 2950.03. (A) Each person who has been convicted of, is | 5603 |
convicted of, has pleaded guilty to, or pleads guilty to a | 5604 |
sexually oriented offense or a child-victim oriented offense and | 5605 |

of the Revised Code and each person who is adjudicated a | 5607 |
delinquent child for committing a sexually oriented offense or a | 5608 |
child-victim oriented offense and who is classified a juvenile | 5609 |
offender registrant based on that adjudication shall be provided | 5610 |
notice in accordance with this section of the offender's or | 5611 |
delinquent child's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, | 5612 |
2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and of the | 5613 |
offender's duties to similarly register, provide notice of a | 5614 |
change, and verify addresses in another state if the offender | 5615 |
resides, is temporarily domiciled, attends a school or institution | 5616 |
of higher education, or is employed in a state other than this | 5617 |
state. The following official shall provide the notice required | 5618 |

oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense, if the person | 5621 |

imprisonment, or any other type of confinement for any offense, | 5623 |

correctional institution, or other institution in which the | 5627 |
offender serves the prison term, term of imprisonment, or | 5628 |
confinement, or a designee of that official, shall provide the | 5629 |
notice to the offender before the offender is released pursuant to | 5630 |
any type of supervised release or before the offender otherwise is | 5631 |
released from the prison term, term of imprisonment, or | 5632 |
confinement. | 5633 |
(2) Regardless of when the person committed the sexually | 5634 |
oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense, if the person | 5635 |
is an offender who is sentenced on or after January 1, 2008, for | 5636 |
any offense, and if division (A)(1) of this section does not | 5637 |
apply, the judge shall provide the notice to the offender at the | 5638 |
time of sentencing. | 5639 |
(3) If the person is a delinquent child who is classified a | 5640 |
juvenile offender registrant on or after January 1, 2008, the | 5641 |
judge shall provide the notice to the delinquent child at the time | 5642 |

section 2152.83, division (C) of section 2152.84, or division (E) | 5644 |

delinquent child of the new registration requirements under | 6034 |
Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it will exist under the | 6035 |

or delinquent child may contest the manner in which the letter | 6037 |
sent to the offender or delinquent child pursuant to division (A) | 6038 |
or (B) of this section specifies that the new registration | 6039 |
requirements apply to the offender or delinquent child or may | 6040 |
contest whether those new registration requirements apply at all | 6041 |
to the offender or delinquent child. To request the hearing, the | 6042 |
offender or delinquent child not later than the date that is sixty | 6043 |
days after the offender or delinquent child received the | 6044 |
registered letter sent by the attorney general pursuant to | 6045 |
division (A)(2) of this section shall file a petition with the | 6046 |
court specified in this division. If the offender or delinquent | 6047 |
child resides in or is temporarily domiciled in this state and | 6048 |
requests a hearing, the offender or delinquent child shall file | 6049 |
the petition with, and the hearing shall be held in, the court of | 6050 |
common pleas or, for a delinquent child, the juvenile court of the | 6051 |
county in which the offender or delinquent child resides or | 6052 |
temporarily is domiciled. If the offender does not reside in and | 6053 |
is not temporarily domiciled in this state, the offender or | 6054 |
delinquent child shall file the petition with, and the hearing | 6055 |
shall be held in, the court of common pleas of the county in which | 6056 |
the offender registered a school, institution of higher education, | 6057 |
or place of employment address, but if the offender has registered | 6058 |
addresses of that nature in more than one county, the offender may | 6059 |
file such a petition in the court of only one of those counties. | 6060 |
If the offender or delinquent child requests a hearing by | 6061 |
timely filing a petition with the appropriate court, the offender | 6062 |
or delinquent child shall serve a copy of the petition on the | 6063 |
prosecutor of the county in which the petition is filed. The | 6064 |
prosecutor shall represent the interests of the state in the | 6065 |
hearing. In any hearing under this division, the Rules of Civil | 6066 |
Procedure or, if the hearing is in a juvenile court, the Rules of | 6067 |
Juvenile Procedure apply, except to the extent that those Rules | 6068 |
would by their nature be clearly inapplicable. The court shall | 6069 |
schedule a hearing, and shall provide notice to the offender or | 6070 |
delinquent child and prosecutor of the date, time, and place of | 6071 |
the hearing. | 6072 |
If an offender or delinquent child requests a hearing in | 6073 |
accordance with this division, until the court issues its decision | 6074 |
at or subsequent to the hearing, the offender or delinquent child | 6075 |
shall comply prior to January 1, 2008, with Chapter 2950. of the | 6076 |
Revised Code as it exists prior to that date and shall comply on | 6077 |
and after January 1, 2008, with Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code | 6078 |
as it will exist under the changes that will be implemented on | 6079 |
that date. If an offender or delinquent child requests a hearing | 6080 |
in accordance with this division, at the hearing, all parties are | 6081 |
entitled to be heard, and the court shall consider all relevant | 6082 |
information and testimony presented relative to the application to | 6083 |
the offender or delinquent child of the new registration | 6084 |
requirements under Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code as it will | 6085 |
exist under the changes that will be implemented on January 1, | 6086 |
2008. If, at the conclusion of the hearing, the court finds that | 6087 |
the offender or delinquent child has proven by clear and | 6088 |
convincing evidence that the new registration requirements do not | 6089 |
apply to the offender or delinquent child in the manner specified | 6090 |
in the letter sent to the offender or delinquent child pursuant to | 6091 |
division (A) or (B) of this section, the court shall issue an | 6092 |
order that specifies the manner in which the court has determined | 6093 |
that the new registration requirements do apply to the offender or | 6094 |
delinquent child. If at the conclusion of the hearing the court | 6095 |
finds that the offender or delinquent child has proven by clear | 6096 |
and convincing evidence that the new registration requirements do | 6097 |
not apply to the offender or delinquent child, the court shall | 6098 |
issue an order that specifies that the new registration | 6099 |
requirements do not apply to the offender or delinquent child. The | 6100 |
court promptly shall serve a copy of an order issued under this | 6101 |
division upon the sheriff with whom the offender or delinquent | 6102 |
child most recently registered under section 2950.04, 2950.041, or | 6103 |
2950.05 of the Revised Code and upon the bureau of criminal | 6104 |
identification and investigation. The offender or delinquent child | 6105 |
and the prosecutor have the right to appeal the decision of the | 6106 |
court issued under this division. | 6107 |
If an offender or delinquent child fails to request a hearing | 6108 |
in accordance with this division within the applicable sixty-day | 6109 |
period specified in this division, the failure constitutes a | 6110 |
waiver by the offender or delinquent child of the offender's or | 6111 |
delinquent child's right to a hearing under this division, and the | 6112 |
offender or delinquent child is bound by the determinations of the | 6113 |
attorney general contained in the registered letter sent to the | 6114 |
offender or child. | 6115 |

If a delinquent child has been adjudicated a delinquent child | 8297 |
for committing a sexually oriented offense or a child-victim | 8298 |
oriented offense, is classified a juvenile offender registrant or | 8299 |
is an out-of-state juvenile offender registrant relative to that | 8300 |
offense, and, after attaining eighteen years of age, subsequently | 8301 |
is convicted of or pleads guilty to another sexually oriented | 8302 |
offense or child-victim oriented offense, the subsequent | 8303 |
conviction or guilty plea does not limit, affect, or supersede the | 8304 |
duties imposed upon the delinquent child under this chapter | 8305 |
relative to the delinquent child's classification as a juvenile | 8306 |
offender registrant or as an out-of-state juvenile offender | 8307 |
registrant, and the delinquent child shall comply with both those | 8308 |
duties and the duties imposed under this chapter relative to the | 8309 |
subsequent conviction or guilty plea. | 8310 |
(2) If a delinquent child has been adjudicated a delinquent | 8311 |
child for committing a sexually oriented offense or a child-victim | 8312 |
oriented offense and is classified a juvenile offender registrant | 8313 |
relative to the offense and if the juvenile judge or the judge's | 8314 |
successor in office subsequently reclassifies the offense tier in | 8315 |
which the child is classified pursuant to section 2152.84 or | 8316 |
2152.85 of the Revised Code or determines pursuant to either | 8317 |
section that the child no longer is a sexual predator, | 8318 |
child-victim predator, habitual sex offender, or habitual | 8319 |
child-victim offender, whichever is applicable, the judge's | 8320 |
subsequent determination to reclassify the child does not affect | 8321 |
the date of commencement of the delinquent child's duty to comply | 8322 |
with sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the | 8323 |
Revised Code as determined under division (A) of this section. The | 8324 |
child's duty to comply with those sections after the | 8325 |
reclassification is a continuation of the child's duty to comply | 8326 |
with the sections that was in effect prior to the | 8327 |
reclassification, and the duty shall continue for the period of | 8328 |
time specified in division (B)(1), (2), | 8329 |
of this section, whichever is applicable. | 8330 |
If, prior to January 1, 2008, an offender had a duty to | 8331 |
comply with the sections specified in division (A) of this section | 8332 |
as a result of a conviction of or plea of guilty to a sexually | 8333 |
oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense as those terms | 8334 |
were defined in section 2950.01 of the Revised Code prior to | 8335 |
January 1, 2008, or a delinquent child had a duty to comply with | 8336 |
those sections as a result of an adjudication as a delinquent | 8337 |
child for committing one of those offenses as they were defined | 8338 |
prior to January 1, 2008, the period of time specified in division | 8339 |
(B)(1), (2), | 8340 |
January 1, 2008, for which a person must comply with sections | 8341 |
2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code | 8342 |
applies to the person, automatically replaces the period of time | 8343 |
for which the person had to comply with those sections prior to | 8344 |
January 1, 2008, and is a continuation of the person's duty to | 8345 |
comply with the sections that was in effect prior to the | 8346 |
reclassification. If, prior to January 1, 2008, an offender or a | 8347 |
delinquent child had a duty to comply with the sections specified | 8348 |
in division (A) of this section, the offender's or delinquent | 8349 |
child's classification as a tier I sex offender/child-victim | 8350 |
offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier | 8351 |
III sex offender/child-victim offender for purposes of that period | 8352 |
of time shall be determined as specified in section 2950.031 or | 8353 |
2950.032 of the Revised Code, as applicable. | 8354 |
(D) The duty of an offender or delinquent child to register | 8355 |
under this chapter is tolled for any period during which the | 8356 |
offender or delinquent child is returned to confinement in a | 8357 |
secure facility for any reason or imprisoned for an offense when | 8358 |
the confinement in a secure facility or imprisonment occurs | 8359 |
subsequent to the date determined pursuant to division (A) of this | 8360 |
section. The offender's or delinquent child's duty to register | 8361 |
under this chapter resumes upon the offender's or delinquent | 8362 |
child's release from confinement in a secure facility or | 8363 |
imprisonment. | 8364 |
(E) An offender or delinquent child who has been or is | 8365 |
convicted, has pleaded or pleads guilty, or has been or is | 8366 |
adjudicated a delinquent child, in a court in another state, in a | 8367 |
federal court, military court, or Indian tribal court, or in a | 8368 |
court of any nation other than the United States for committing a | 8369 |
sexually oriented offense or a child-victim oriented offense may | 8370 |
apply to the sheriff of the county in which the offender or | 8371 |
delinquent child resides or temporarily is domiciled, or in which | 8372 |
the offender attends a school or institution of higher education | 8373 |
or is employed, for credit against the duty to register for the | 8374 |
time that the offender or delinquent child has complied with the | 8375 |
sex offender or child-victim offender registration requirements of | 8376 |
another jurisdiction. The sheriff shall grant the offender or | 8377 |
delinquent child credit against the duty to register for time for | 8378 |
which the offender or delinquent child provides adequate proof | 8379 |
that the offender or delinquent child has complied with the sex | 8380 |
offender or child-victim offender registration requirements of | 8381 |
another jurisdiction. If the offender or delinquent child | 8382 |
disagrees with the determination of the sheriff, the offender or | 8383 |
delinquent child may appeal the determination to the court of | 8384 |
common pleas of the county in which the offender or delinquent | 8385 |
child resides or is temporarily domiciled, or in which the | 8386 |
offender attends a school or institution of higher education or is | 8387 |
employed. | 8388 |
Sec. 2950.081. (A) Any statements, information, photographs, | 8389 |
fingerprints, or materials that are required to be provided, and | 8390 |
that are provided, by an offender or delinquent child pursuant to | 8391 |
section 2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, or 2950.06 of the Revised Code | 8392 |
and that are in the possession of a county sheriff are public | 8393 |
records open to public inspection under section 149.43 of the | 8394 |
Revised Code and shall be included in the internet sex offender | 8395 |
and child-victim offender database established and maintained | 8396 |
under section 2950.13 of the Revised Code to the extent provided | 8397 |
in that section. | 8398 |
(B) | 8399 |
8400 | |
shall not cause to be publicly disseminated by means of the | 8401 |
internet any statements, information, photographs, fingerprints, | 8402 |
or materials that are provided by a delinquent child who sends a | 8403 |
notice of intent to reside, registers, provides notice of a change | 8404 |
of residence address and registers the new residence address, or | 8405 |
provides verification of a current residence address pursuant to | 8406 |
this chapter and that are in the possession of a county sheriff. | 8407 |
(C) If a sheriff establishes on the internet a sex offender | 8408 |
and child-victim offender database for the public dissemination of | 8409 |
some or all of the materials regarding offenders that are | 8410 |
described in division (A) of this section, that are not prohibited | 8411 |
from inclusion by division (B) of this section, and that pertain | 8412 |
to offenders | 8413 |
county, in addition to all of the other information and materials | 8414 |
included, the sheriff shall include in the database a chart | 8415 |
describing which sexually oriented offenses and child-victim | 8416 |
oriented offenses are included in the definitions of tier I sex | 8417 |
offender/child-victim offender, tier II sex offender/child-victim | 8418 |
offender, and tier III sex offender/child-victim offender and for | 8419 |
each offender | 8420 |
and materials are provided a statement as to whether the offender | 8421 |
8422 | |
8423 | |
offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim | 8424 |
offender. | 8425 |
Sec. 2950.09. (A) If a person is convicted of or pleads | 8426 |
guilty to a sexually oriented offense that was committed before | 8427 |
January 1, 2008, and if the sexually oriented offense is a violent | 8428 |
sex offense or a designated homicide, assault, or kidnapping | 8429 |
offense and the offender is adjudicated a sexually violent | 8430 |
predator in relation to that offense, the conviction of or plea of | 8431 |
guilty to the offense and the adjudication as a sexually violent | 8432 |
predator automatically classifies the offender a sexual predator. | 8433 |
If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a sexually | 8434 |
oriented offense that is a violation of division (A)(1)(b) of | 8435 |
section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and that was committed before | 8436 |
January 1, 2008, and if either the person is sentenced under | 8437 |
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code or the court imposes upon the | 8438 |
offender a sentence of life without parole under division (B) of | 8439 |
section 2907.02 of the Revised Code, the conviction of or plea of | 8440 |
guilty to the offense automatically classifies the offender a | 8441 |
sexual predator. If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to | 8442 |
attempted rape that was committed before January 1, 2008, and also | 8443 |
is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification of the type | 8444 |
described in section 2941.1418, 2941.1419, or 2941.1420 of the | 8445 |
Revised Code, the conviction of or plea of guilty to the offense | 8446 |
and the specification automatically classify the offender a sexual | 8447 |
predator. If a person is convicted, pleads guilty, or is | 8448 |
adjudicated a delinquent child in a court in another state, in a | 8449 |
federal court, military court, or Indian tribal court, or in a | 8450 |
court of any nation other than the United States for a sexually | 8451 |
oriented offense that was committed before January 1, 2008, and | 8452 |
if, as a result of that conviction, plea of guilty, or | 8453 |
adjudication, the person is required under the law of the | 8454 |
jurisdiction in which the person was convicted, pleaded guilty, or | 8455 |
was adjudicated to register as a sex offender until the person's | 8456 |
death, that conviction, plea of guilty, or adjudication | 8457 |
automatically classifies the person a sexual predator, but the | 8458 |
person may challenge that classification pursuant to division (F) | 8459 |
of this section. In all other cases, a person who commits before | 8460 |
January 1, 2008, a sexually oriented offense may be classified as | 8461 |
a sexual predator for purposes of this chapter only in accordance | 8462 |
with division (B) or (C) of this section or, regarding delinquent | 8463 |
children, divisions (B) and (C) of section 2152.83 of the Revised | 8464 |
Code. | 8465 |
(B)(1)(a) Except as otherwise provided in this division, the | 8466 |
judge who is to impose sentence on a person who is convicted of or | 8467 |
pleads guilty to a sexually oriented offense that was committed | 8468 |
before January 1, 2008, shall conduct a hearing to determine | 8469 |
whether the offender is a sexual predator. A judge shall not | 8470 |
conduct a hearing under this division if the person automatically | 8471 |
is classified a sexual predator as described in division (A) of | 8472 |
this section. | 8473 |
(b) The judge who is to impose an order of disposition upon a | 8474 |
child who is adjudicated a delinquent child for committing before | 8475 |
January 1, 2008, a sexually oriented offense shall conduct a | 8476 |
hearing to determine whether the child is a sexual predator if | 8477 |
either of the following applies: | 8478 |
(i) The judge is required by section 2152.82 or division (A) | 8479 |
of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code to classify the child a | 8480 |
juvenile offender registrant. | 8481 |
(ii) Division (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code | 8482 |
applies regarding the child, the judge conducts a hearing under | 8483 |
that division for the purposes described in that division, and the | 8484 |
judge determines at that hearing that the child is a juvenile | 8485 |
offender registrant. | 8486 |
(2) The judge shall conduct the hearing required by division | 8487 |
(B)(1)(a) of this section for an offender prior to sentencing. If | 8488 |
the sexually oriented offense for which sentence is to be imposed | 8489 |
is a felony and the hearing is being conducted under division | 8490 |
(B)(1)(a) of this section, the judge may conduct it as part of the | 8491 |
sentencing hearing required by section 2929.19 of the Revised | 8492 |
Code. The judge may conduct the hearing required by division | 8493 |
(B)(1)(b) of this section for a delinquent child at the same time | 8494 |
as, or separate from, the dispositional hearing, as specified in | 8495 |
the applicable provision of section 2152.82 or 2152.83 of the | 8496 |
Revised Code. The court shall give the offender or delinquent | 8497 |
child and the prosecutor who prosecuted the offender or handled | 8498 |
the case against the delinquent child for the sexually oriented | 8499 |
offense notice of the date, time, and location of the hearing. At | 8500 |
the hearing, the offender or delinquent child and the prosecutor | 8501 |
shall have an opportunity to testify, present evidence, call and | 8502 |
examine witnesses and expert witnesses, and cross-examine | 8503 |
witnesses and expert witnesses regarding the determination as to | 8504 |
whether the offender or delinquent child is a sexual predator. The | 8505 |
offender or delinquent child shall have the right to be | 8506 |
represented by counsel and, if indigent, the right to have counsel | 8507 |
appointed to represent the offender or delinquent child. | 8508 |
(3) In making a determination under divisions (B)(1) and (4) | 8509 |
of this section as to whether an offender or delinquent child is a | 8510 |
sexual predator, the judge shall consider all relevant factors, | 8511 |
including, but not limited to, all of the following: | 8512 |
(a) The offender's or delinquent child's age; | 8513 |
(b) The offender's or delinquent child's prior criminal or | 8514 |
delinquency record regarding all offenses, including, but not | 8515 |
limited to, all sexual offenses; | 8516 |
(c) The age of the victim of the sexually oriented offense | 8517 |
for which sentence is to be imposed or the order of disposition is | 8518 |
to be made; | 8519 |
(d) Whether the sexually oriented offense for which sentence | 8520 |
is to be imposed or the order of disposition is to be made | 8521 |
involved multiple victims; | 8522 |
(e) Whether the offender or delinquent child used drugs or | 8523 |
alcohol to impair the victim of the sexually oriented offense or | 8524 |
to prevent the victim from resisting; | 8525 |
(f) If the offender or delinquent child previously has been | 8526 |
convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or been adjudicated a | 8527 |
delinquent child for committing an act that if committed by an | 8528 |
adult would be, a criminal offense, whether the offender or | 8529 |
delinquent child completed any sentence or dispositional order | 8530 |
imposed for the prior offense or act and, if the prior offense or | 8531 |
act was a sex offense or a sexually oriented offense, whether the | 8532 |
offender or delinquent child participated in available programs | 8533 |
for sexual offenders; | 8534 |
(g) Any mental illness or mental disability of the offender | 8535 |
or delinquent child; | 8536 |
(h) The nature of the offender's or delinquent child's sexual | 8537 |
conduct, sexual contact, or interaction in a sexual context with | 8538 |
the victim of the sexually oriented offense and whether the sexual | 8539 |
conduct, sexual contact, or interaction in a sexual context was | 8540 |
part of a demonstrated pattern of abuse; | 8541 |
(i) Whether the offender or delinquent child, during the | 8542 |
commission of the sexually oriented offense for which sentence is | 8543 |
to be imposed or the order of disposition is to be made, displayed | 8544 |
cruelty or made one or more threats of cruelty; | 8545 |
(j) Any additional behavioral characteristics that contribute | 8546 |
to the offender's or delinquent child's conduct. | 8547 |
(4) After reviewing all testimony and evidence presented at | 8548 |
the hearing conducted under division (B)(1) of this section and | 8549 |
the factors specified in division (B)(3) of this section, the | 8550 |
court shall determine by clear and convincing evidence whether the | 8551 |
subject offender or delinquent child is a sexual predator. If the | 8552 |
court determines that the subject offender or delinquent child is | 8553 |
not a sexual predator, the court shall specify in the offender's | 8554 |
sentence and the judgment of conviction that contains the sentence | 8555 |
or in the delinquent child's dispositional order, as appropriate, | 8556 |
that the court has determined that the offender or delinquent | 8557 |
child is not a sexual predator and the reason or reasons why the | 8558 |
court determined that the subject offender or delinquent child is | 8559 |
not a sexual predator. If the court determines by clear and | 8560 |
convincing evidence that the subject offender or delinquent child | 8561 |
is a sexual predator, the court shall specify in the offender's | 8562 |
sentence and the judgment of conviction that contains the sentence | 8563 |
or in the delinquent child's dispositional order, as appropriate, | 8564 |
that the court has determined that the offender or delinquent | 8565 |
child is a sexual predator and that the determination was pursuant | 8566 |
to division (B) of this section. If the sexually oriented offense | 8567 |
in question is an aggravated sexually oriented offense, the court | 8568 |
shall specify in the offender's sentence and the judgment of | 8569 |
conviction that contains the sentence that the offender's offense | 8570 |
is an aggravated sexually oriented offense. The offender or | 8571 |
delinquent child and the prosecutor who prosecuted the offender or | 8572 |
handled the case against the delinquent child for the sexually | 8573 |
oriented offense in question may appeal as a matter of right the | 8574 |
court's determination under this division as to whether the | 8575 |
offender or delinquent child is, or is not, a sexual predator. | 8576 |
(C)(1) If a person was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a | 8577 |
sexually oriented offense that was committed before January 1, | 8578 |
2008, if the person is serving a term of imprisonment in a state | 8579 |
correctional institution as of the effective date of this section, | 8580 |
and if the person previously has not received a hearing to | 8581 |
determine whether the person is a sexual predator, the department | 8582 |
of rehabilitation and correction shall do whichever of the | 8583 |
following is applicable: | 8584 |
(a) If the sexually oriented offense was, regardless of the | 8585 |
age of the victim of the offense, a violation of section 2903.01, | 8586 |
2903.02, 2903.11, or 2905.01 of the Revised Code, or of division | 8587 |
(A) of section 2903.04 of the Revised Code, that was committed | 8588 |
with a sexual motivation, or was a violent sex offense, the | 8589 |
department shall notify the court that sentenced the offender of | 8590 |
this fact, and the court shall conduct a hearing to determine | 8591 |
whether the offender is a sexual predator. | 8592 |
(b) If division (C)(1)(a) of this section does not apply, the | 8593 |
department shall determine whether to recommend that the offender | 8594 |
be adjudicated a sexual predator. In making a determination under | 8595 |
this division as to whether to recommend that the offender be | 8596 |
adjudicated a sexual predator, the department shall consider all | 8597 |
relevant factors, including, but not limited to, all of the | 8598 |
factors specified in divisions (B)(2) and (3) of this section. If | 8599 |
the department determines that it will recommend that the offender | 8600 |
be adjudicated a sexual predator, it immediately shall send the | 8601 |
recommendation to the court that sentenced the offender. If the | 8602 |
department determines that it will not recommend that the offender | 8603 |
be adjudicated a sexual predator, it immediately shall send its | 8604 |
determination to the court that sentenced the offender. In all | 8605 |
cases, the department shall enter its determination and | 8606 |
recommendation in the offender's institutional record, and the | 8607 |
court shall proceed in accordance with division (C)(2) of this | 8608 |
section. | 8609 |
(2)(a) If the department of rehabilitation and correction | 8610 |
sends to a court a notice under division (C)(1)(a) of this | 8611 |
section, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether | 8612 |
the subject offender is a sexual predator. If, pursuant to | 8613 |
division (C)(1)(b) of this section, the department sends to a | 8614 |
court a recommendation that an offender be adjudicated a sexual | 8615 |
predator, the court is not bound by the department's | 8616 |
recommendation, and the court shall conduct a hearing to determine | 8617 |
whether the offender is a sexual predator. The court shall not | 8618 |
make a determination as to whether the offender is, or is not, a | 8619 |
sexual predator without a hearing. The court may hold the hearing | 8620 |
and make the determination prior to the offender's release from | 8621 |
imprisonment or at any time within one year following the | 8622 |
offender's release from that imprisonment. | 8623 |
(b) If, pursuant to division (C)(1)(b) of this section, the | 8624 |
department sends to the court a determination that it is not | 8625 |
recommending that an offender be adjudicated a sexual predator, | 8626 |
the court shall not make any determination as to whether the | 8627 |
offender is, or is not, a sexual predator but shall determine | 8628 |
whether the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded | 8629 |
guilty to a sexually oriented offense other than the offense in | 8630 |
relation to which the department made its determination or | 8631 |
previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a | 8632 |
child-victim oriented offense. | 8633 |
The court may conduct a hearing to determine whether the | 8634 |
offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a | 8635 |
sexually oriented offense or a child-victim oriented offense but | 8636 |
may make the determination without a hearing. However, if the | 8637 |
court determines that the offender previously has been convicted | 8638 |
of or pleaded guilty to such an offense, it shall not impose a | 8639 |
requirement that the offender be subject to the community | 8640 |
notification provisions contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 | 8641 |
of the Revised Code without a hearing. In determining whether to | 8642 |
impose the community notification requirement, the court, in the | 8643 |
circumstances described in division (E)(2) of this section, shall | 8644 |
apply the presumption specified in that division. The court shall | 8645 |
include in the offender's institutional record any determination | 8646 |
made under this division as to whether the offender previously has | 8647 |
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense | 8648 |
or child-victim oriented offense and, as such, whether the | 8649 |
offender is a habitual sex offender. | 8650 |
(c) Upon scheduling a hearing under division (C)(2)(a) or (b) | 8651 |
of this section, the court shall give the offender and the | 8652 |
prosecutor who prosecuted the offender for the sexually oriented | 8653 |
offense, or that prosecutor's successor in office, notice of the | 8654 |
date, time, and place of the hearing. If the hearing is scheduled | 8655 |
under division (C)(2)(a) of this section to determine whether the | 8656 |
offender is a sexual predator, the prosecutor who is given the | 8657 |
notice may contact the department of rehabilitation and correction | 8658 |
and request that the department provide to the prosecutor all | 8659 |
information the department possesses regarding the offender that | 8660 |
is relevant and necessary for use in making the determination as | 8661 |
to whether the offender is a sexual predator and that is not | 8662 |
privileged or confidential under law. If the prosecutor makes a | 8663 |
request for that information, the department promptly shall | 8664 |
provide to the prosecutor all information the department possesses | 8665 |
regarding the offender that is not privileged or confidential | 8666 |
under law and that is relevant and necessary for making that | 8667 |
determination. The court shall conduct a hearing scheduled under | 8668 |
division (C)(2)(a) of this section to determine whether the | 8669 |
offender is a sexual predator in the manner described in division | 8670 |
(B)(1) of this section regarding hearings conducted under that | 8671 |
division. In making a determination under this division as to | 8672 |
whether the offender is a sexual predator, the court shall | 8673 |
consider all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, all | 8674 |
of the factors specified in divisions (B)(2) and (3) of this | 8675 |
section. After reviewing all testimony and evidence presented at | 8676 |
the sexual predator hearing and the factors specified in divisions | 8677 |
(B)(2) and (3) of this section, the court shall determine by clear | 8678 |
and convincing evidence whether the offender is a sexual predator. | 8679 |
If the court determines at the sexual predator hearing that the | 8680 |
offender is not a sexual predator, it also shall determine whether | 8681 |
the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to | 8682 |
a sexually oriented offense other than the offense in relation to | 8683 |
which the hearing is being conducted. | 8684 |
Upon making its determinations at the sexual predator | 8685 |
hearing, the court shall proceed as follows: | 8686 |
(i) If the court determines that the offender is not a sexual | 8687 |
predator and that the offender previously has not been convicted | 8688 |
of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense other than the | 8689 |
offense in relation to which the hearing is being conducted and | 8690 |
previously has not been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a | 8691 |
child-victim oriented offense, it shall include in the offender's | 8692 |
institutional record its determinations and the reason or reasons | 8693 |
why it determined that the offender is not a sexual predator. | 8694 |
(ii) If the court determines that the offender is not a | 8695 |
sexual predator but that the offender previously has been | 8696 |
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense | 8697 |
other than the offense in relation to which the hearing is being | 8698 |
conducted or previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to | 8699 |
a child-victim oriented offense, it shall include in the | 8700 |
offender's institutional record its determination that the | 8701 |
offender is not a sexual predator but is a habitual sex offender | 8702 |
and the reason or reasons why it determined that the offender is | 8703 |
not a sexual predator. The court shall attach the determinations | 8704 |
and the reason or reasons to the offender's sentence, shall | 8705 |
specify that the determinations were pursuant to division (C) of | 8706 |
this section, and shall provide a copy of the determinations and | 8707 |
the reason or reasons to the offender, to the prosecuting | 8708 |
attorney, and to the department of rehabilitation and correction. | 8709 |
The court may impose a requirement that the offender be subject to | 8710 |
the community notification provisions contained in sections | 8711 |
2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code. In determining whether to | 8712 |
impose the community notification requirement, the court, in the | 8713 |
circumstances described in division (E)(2) of this section, shall | 8714 |
apply the presumption specified in that division. The offender | 8715 |
shall not be subject to those community notification provisions | 8716 |
relative to the sexually oriented offense in question if the court | 8717 |
does not so impose the requirement described in this division. If | 8718 |
the court imposes that requirement, the offender may appeal the | 8719 |
judge's determination that the offender is a habitual sex | 8720 |
offender. | 8721 |
(iii) If the court determines by clear and convincing | 8722 |
evidence that the offender is a sexual predator, it shall enter | 8723 |
its determination in the offender's institutional record, shall | 8724 |
attach the determination to the offender's sentence, shall specify | 8725 |
that the determination was pursuant to division (C) of this | 8726 |
section, and shall provide a copy of the determination to the | 8727 |
offender, to the prosecuting attorney, and to the department of | 8728 |
rehabilitation and correction. The offender and the prosecutor may | 8729 |
appeal as a matter of right the judge's determination under | 8730 |
divisions (C)(2)(a) and (c) of this section as to whether the | 8731 |
offender is, or is not, a sexual predator. | 8732 |
If the hearing is scheduled under division (C)(2)(b) of this | 8733 |
section to determine whether the offender previously has been | 8734 |
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense or a | 8735 |
child-victim oriented offense or whether to subject the offender | 8736 |
to the community notification provisions contained in sections | 8737 |
2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code, upon making the | 8738 |
determination, the court shall attach the determination or | 8739 |
determinations to the offender's sentence, shall provide a copy to | 8740 |
the offender, to the prosecuting attorney, and to the department | 8741 |
of rehabilitation and correction, and may impose a requirement | 8742 |
that the offender be subject to the community notification | 8743 |
provisions. In determining whether to impose the community | 8744 |
notification requirements, the court, in the circumstances | 8745 |
described in division (E)(2) of this section, shall apply the | 8746 |
presumption specified in that division. The offender shall not be | 8747 |
subject to the community notification provisions relative to the | 8748 |
sexually oriented offense in question if the court does not so | 8749 |
impose the requirement described in this division. If the court | 8750 |
imposes that requirement, the offender may appeal the judge's | 8751 |
determination that the offender is a habitual sex offender. | 8752 |
(D)(1) A person who has been adjudicated a delinquent child | 8753 |
for committing a sexually oriented offense and who has been | 8754 |
classified by a juvenile court judge a juvenile offender | 8755 |
registrant or, if applicable, additionally has been determined by | 8756 |
a juvenile court judge to be a sexual predator or habitual sex | 8757 |
offender, may petition the adjudicating court for a | 8758 |
reclassification or declassification pursuant to section 2152.85 | 8759 |
of the Revised Code. | 8760 |
A judge who is reviewing a sexual predator determination for | 8761 |
a delinquent child under section 2152.84 or 2152.85 of the Revised | 8762 |
Code shall comply with this section. At the hearing, the judge | 8763 |
shall consider all relevant evidence and information, including, | 8764 |
but not limited to, the factors set forth in division (B)(3) of | 8765 |
this section. The judge shall not enter a determination that the | 8766 |
delinquent child no longer is a sexual predator unless the judge | 8767 |
determines by clear and convincing evidence that the delinquent | 8768 |
child is unlikely to commit a sexually oriented offense in the | 8769 |
future. If the judge enters a determination under this division | 8770 |
that the delinquent child no longer is a sexual predator, the | 8771 |
judge shall notify the bureau of criminal identification and | 8772 |
investigation of the determination and shall include in the notice | 8773 |
a statement of the reason or reasons why it determined that the | 8774 |
delinquent child no longer is a sexual predator. Upon receipt of | 8775 |
the notification, the bureau promptly shall notify the sheriff | 8776 |
with whom the delinquent child most recently registered under | 8777 |
section 2950.04 or 2950.05 of the Revised Code of the | 8778 |
determination that the delinquent child no longer is a sexual | 8779 |
predator. | 8780 |
(2) If an offender who has been convicted of or pleaded | 8781 |
guilty to a sexually oriented offense is classified a sexual | 8782 |
predator pursuant to division (A) of this section or has been | 8783 |
adjudicated a sexual predator relative to the offense as described | 8784 |
in division (B) or (C) of this section, subject to division (F) of | 8785 |
this section, the classification or adjudication of the offender | 8786 |
as a sexual predator is permanent and continues in effect until | 8787 |
the offender's death, and in no case shall the classification or | 8788 |
adjudication be removed or terminated. | 8789 |
(E)(1) The judge who is to impose sentence on or after the | 8790 |
effective date of this section on a person who is convicted of or | 8791 |
pleads guilty to a sexually oriented offense that was committed | 8792 |
before January 1, 2008, shall determine, prior to sentencing, | 8793 |
whether the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded | 8794 |
guilty to, or been adjudicated a delinquent child for committing, | 8795 |
a sexually oriented offense or a child-victim oriented offense and | 8796 |
is a habitual sex offender. | 8797 |
The judge who is to impose or has imposed an order of | 8798 |
disposition on or after the effective date of this section upon a | 8799 |
child who is adjudicated a delinquent child for committing before | 8800 |
January 1, 2008, a sexually oriented offense shall determine prior | 8801 |
to entering the order classifying the delinquent child a juvenile | 8802 |
offender registrant whether the delinquent child previously has | 8803 |
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or been adjudicated a | 8804 |
delinquent child for committing, a sexually oriented offense or a | 8805 |
child-victim oriented offense and is a habitual sex offender if | 8806 |
either of the following applies: | 8807 |
(a) The judge is required by section 2152.82 or division (A) | 8808 |
of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code to classify the child a | 8809 |
juvenile offender registrant. | 8810 |
(b) Division (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code | 8811 |
applies regarding the child, the judge conducts a hearing under | 8812 |
that division for the purposes described in that division, and the | 8813 |
judge determines at that hearing that the child is a juvenile | 8814 |
offender registrant. | 8815 |
(2) If, under division (E)(1) of this section, the judge | 8816 |
determines that the offender or delinquent child previously has | 8817 |
not been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or been adjudicated a | 8818 |
delinquent child for committing, a sexually oriented offense or a | 8819 |
child-victim oriented offense or that the offender otherwise does | 8820 |
not satisfy the criteria for being a habitual sex offender, the | 8821 |
judge shall specify in the offender's sentence or in the order | 8822 |
classifying the delinquent child a juvenile offender registrant | 8823 |
that the judge has determined that the offender or delinquent | 8824 |
child is not a habitual sex offender. | 8825 |
If, under division (E)(1) of this section, the judge | 8826 |
determines that the offender or delinquent child previously has | 8827 |
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or been adjudicated a | 8828 |
delinquent child for committing, a sexually oriented offense or a | 8829 |
child-victim oriented offense and that the offender satisfies all | 8830 |
other criteria for being a habitual sex offender, the offender or | 8831 |
delinquent child is a habitual sex offender or habitual | 8832 |
child-victim offender, and the court shall determine whether to | 8833 |
impose a requirement that the offender or delinquent child be | 8834 |
subject to the community notification provisions in sections | 8835 |
2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code. In making the | 8836 |
determination regarding the possible imposition of the community | 8837 |
notification requirement, if at least two of the sexually oriented | 8838 |
offenses or child-victim oriented offenses that are the basis of | 8839 |
the habitual sex offender or habitual child-victim offender | 8840 |
determination were committed against a victim who was under | 8841 |
eighteen years of age, it is presumed that subjecting the offender | 8842 |
or delinquent child to the community notification provisions is | 8843 |
necessary to comply with the determinations, findings, and | 8844 |
declarations of the general assembly regarding sex offenders and | 8845 |
child-victim offenders set forth in section 2950.02 of the Revised | 8846 |
Code. When a judge determines that an offender or delinquent child | 8847 |
is a habitual sex offender or a habitual child-victim offender, | 8848 |
the judge shall specify in the offender's sentence and the | 8849 |
judgment of conviction that contains the sentence or in the order | 8850 |
classifying the delinquent child a juvenile offender registrant | 8851 |
that the judge has determined that the offender or delinquent | 8852 |
child is a habitual sex offender. The judge may impose a | 8853 |
requirement in that sentence and judgment of conviction or in that | 8854 |
order that the offender or delinquent child is subject to the | 8855 |
community notification provisions in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 | 8856 |
of the Revised Code. Unless the habitual sex offender also has | 8857 |
been adjudicated a sexual predator relative to the sexually | 8858 |
oriented offense in question or the habitual sex offender was | 8859 |
convicted of or pleaded guilty to an aggravated sexually oriented | 8860 |
offense, the offender or delinquent child is subject to those | 8861 |
community notification provisions only if the court imposes the | 8862 |
requirement described in this division in the offender's sentence | 8863 |
and the judgment of conviction or in the order classifying the | 8864 |
delinquent child a juvenile offender registrant. If the court | 8865 |
determines pursuant to this division or division (C)(2) of this | 8866 |
section that an offender is a habitual sex offender, the | 8867 |
determination is permanent and continues in effect until the | 8868 |
offender's death, and in no case shall the determination be | 8869 |
removed or terminated. | 8870 |
If a court in another state, a federal court, military court, | 8871 |
or Indian tribal court or a court in any nation other than the | 8872 |
United States determines a person to be a habitual sex offender in | 8873 |
that jurisdiction, the person is considered to be determined to be | 8874 |
a habitual sex offender in this state. If the court in the other | 8875 |
state, federal court, military court, or Indian tribal court or | 8876 |
the court in the nation other than the United States subjects the | 8877 |
habitual sex offender to community notification regarding the | 8878 |
person's place of residence, the person, as much as is | 8879 |
practicable, is subject to the community notification provisions | 8880 |
regarding the person's place of residence that are in sections | 8881 |
2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code, unless the court that so | 8882 |
subjected the person to community notification determines that the | 8883 |
person no longer is subject to community notification. | 8884 |
(F)(1) An offender or delinquent child classified a sexual | 8885 |
predator may petition the court of common pleas or, for a | 8886 |
delinquent child, the juvenile court of the county in which the | 8887 |
offender or delinquent child resides or temporarily is domiciled | 8888 |
to enter a determination that the offender or delinquent child is | 8889 |
not an adjudicated sexual predator in this state for purposes of | 8890 |
the registration and other requirements of this chapter or the | 8891 |
community notification provisions contained in sections 2950.10 | 8892 |
and 2950.11 of the Revised Code if all of the following apply: | 8893 |
(a) The offender or delinquent child was convicted, pleaded | 8894 |
guilty, or was adjudicated a delinquent child in a court of | 8895 |
another state, in a federal court, military court, or Indian | 8896 |
tribal court, or in a court of any nation other than the United | 8897 |
States for committing a sexually oriented offense. | 8898 |
(b) As a result of the conviction, guilty plea, or | 8899 |
adjudication described in division (F)(1)(a) of this section, the | 8900 |
offender or delinquent child is required under the law of the | 8901 |
jurisdiction under which the offender or delinquent child was | 8902 |
convicted, pleaded guilty, or was adjudicated to register as a sex | 8903 |
offender until the offender's or delinquent child's death. | 8904 |
(c) The offender or delinquent child was automatically | 8905 |
classified a sexual predator under division (A) of this section in | 8906 |
relation to the conviction, guilty plea, or adjudication described | 8907 |
in division (F)(1)(a) of this section. | 8908 |
(2) The court may enter a determination that the offender or | 8909 |
delinquent child filing the petition described in division (F)(1) | 8910 |
of this section is not an adjudicated sexual predator in this | 8911 |
state for purposes of the registration and other requirements of | 8912 |
this chapter or the community notification provisions in sections | 8913 |
2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code only if the offender or | 8914 |
delinquent child proves by clear and convincing evidence that the | 8915 |
requirement of the other jurisdiction that the offender or | 8916 |
delinquent child register as a sex offender until the offender's | 8917 |
or delinquent child's death is not substantially similar to a | 8918 |
classification as a sexual predator for purposes of this chapter. | 8919 |
If the court enters a determination that the offender or | 8920 |
delinquent child is not an adjudicated sexual predator in this | 8921 |
state for those purposes, the court shall include in the | 8922 |
determination a statement of the reason or reasons why it so | 8923 |
determined. | 8924 |
(G) If, prior to July 31, 2003, an offender or delinquent | 8925 |
child was adjudicated a sexual predator or was determined to be a | 8926 |
habitual sex offender under this section or section 2152.82, | 8927 |
2152.83, 2152.84, or 2152.85 of the Revised Code and if, on and | 8928 |
after July 31, 2003, the sexually oriented offense upon which the | 8929 |
classification or determination was based no longer is considered | 8930 |
a sexually oriented offense but instead is a child-victim oriented | 8931 |
offense, notwithstanding the redesignation of that offense, on and | 8932 |
after July 31, 2003, all of the following apply: | 8933 |
(1) Divisions (A)(1) and (2) or (E)(1) and (2) of section | 8934 |
2950.091 of the Revised Code apply regarding the offender or | 8935 |
child, and the judge's classification or determination made prior | 8936 |
to July 31, 2003, shall be considered for all purposes to be a | 8937 |
classification or determination that classifies the offender or | 8938 |
child as described in those divisions. | 8939 |
(2) The offender's or child's classification or determination | 8940 |
under divisions (A)(1) and (2) or (E)(1) and (2) of section | 8941 |
2950.091 of the Revised Code shall be considered for purposes of | 8942 |
section 2950.07 of the Revised Code and for all other purposes to | 8943 |
be a continuation of the classification or determination made | 8944 |
prior to July 31, 2003. | 8945 |
(3) The offender's or child's duties under this chapter | 8946 |
relative to that classification or determination shall be | 8947 |
considered for all purposes to be a continuation of the duties | 8948 |
related to that classification or determination as they existed | 8949 |
prior to July 31, 2003. | 8950 |
Sec. 2950.091. (A)(1) If, prior to July 31, 2003, a person | 8951 |
was convicted of, pleaded guilty to, or was adjudicated a | 8952 |
delinquent child for committing, a sexually oriented offense, if, | 8953 |
prior to July 31, 2003, the offender or delinquent child was | 8954 |
classified a sexual predator in relation to that offense pursuant | 8955 |
to division (A) of section 2950.09 of the Revised Code as it then | 8956 |
existed, and if, on and after July 31, 2003, the sexually oriented | 8957 |
offense upon which the classification was based no longer is | 8958 |
considered a sexually oriented offense but instead is a | 8959 |
child-victim oriented offense, notwithstanding the redesignation | 8960 |
of the offense, the classification of the offender or child as a | 8961 |
sexual predator remains valid and in effect on and after July 31, | 8962 |
2003, and on and after the effective date of this section. | 8963 |
(2) If, prior to July 31, 2003, a person was convicted of, | 8964 |
pleaded guilty to, or was adjudicated a delinquent child for | 8965 |
committing a sexually oriented offense, if, prior to July 31, | 8966 |
2003, the offender or delinquent child was adjudicated a sexual | 8967 |
predator in relation to that offense under section 2950.09 or | 8968 |
section 2152.82, 2152.83, 2152.84, or 2152.85 of the Revised Code | 8969 |
as they then existed, if, on and after July 31, 2003, the sexually | 8970 |
oriented offense upon which the adjudication was based no longer | 8971 |
is considered a sexually oriented offense but instead is a | 8972 |
child-victim oriented offense, and if division (A)(1) of this | 8973 |
section does not apply, notwithstanding the redesignation of the | 8974 |
offense, on and after July 31, 2003, and on and after the | 8975 |
effective date of this section, the offender or delinquent child | 8976 |
automatically is classified a child-victim predator. If a person | 8977 |
is convicted, pleads guilty, or is adjudicated a delinquent child | 8978 |
in a court of another state, in a federal court, military court, | 8979 |
or Indian tribal court, or in a court of any nation other than the | 8980 |
United States for committing before January 1, 2008, a | 8981 |
child-victim oriented offense, and if, as a result of that | 8982 |
conviction, plea of guilty, or adjudication, the person is | 8983 |
required under the law of the jurisdiction in which the person was | 8984 |
convicted, pleaded guilty, or adjudicated to register as a | 8985 |
child-victim offender or sex offender until the person's death, | 8986 |
that conviction, plea of guilty, or adjudication automatically | 8987 |
classifies the person a child-victim predator for the purposes of | 8988 |
this chapter, but the person may challenge that classification | 8989 |
pursuant to division (F) of this section. | 8990 |
(3) In all cases not described in division (A)(1) or (2) of | 8991 |
this section, a person or delinquent child who commits before | 8992 |
January 1, 2008, a child-victim oriented offense may be classified | 8993 |
a child-victim predator for purposes of this chapter only in | 8994 |
accordance with division (B) or (C) of this section or, regarding | 8995 |
delinquent children, divisions (B) and (C) of section 2152.83 of | 8996 |
the Revised Code. | 8997 |
(B)(1)(a) Except as otherwise provided in this division, the | 8998 |
judge who is to impose sentence on a person who is convicted of or | 8999 |
pleads guilty to a child-victim oriented offense that was | 9000 |
committed before January 1, 2008, shall conduct a hearing to | 9001 |
determine whether the offender is a child-victim predator. The | 9002 |
court shall not conduct a hearing under this division if the | 9003 |
person automatically is classified a sexual predator or | 9004 |
child-victim predator as described in division (A) of this | 9005 |
section. | 9006 |
(b) The judge who is to impose an order of disposition upon a | 9007 |
child who is adjudicated a delinquent child for committing before | 9008 |
January 1, 2008, a child-victim oriented offense shall conduct a | 9009 |
hearing to determine whether the child is a child-victim predator | 9010 |
if either of the following applies: | 9011 |
(i) The judge is required by section 2152.82 or division (A) | 9012 |
of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code to classify the child a | 9013 |
juvenile offender registrant. | 9014 |
(ii) Division (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code | 9015 |
applies regarding the child, the judge conducts a hearing under | 9016 |
that division for the purposes described in that division, and the | 9017 |
judge determines at that hearing that the child is a juvenile | 9018 |
offender registrant. | 9019 |
(2) The judge shall conduct the hearing required by division | 9020 |
(B)(1)(a) of this section for an offender prior to sentencing, | 9021 |
and, if the child-victim oriented offense for which sentence is to | 9022 |
be imposed is a felony and the hearing is being conducted under | 9023 |
division (B)(1)(a) of this section, the judge may conduct it as | 9024 |
part of the sentencing hearing required by section 2929.19 of the | 9025 |
Revised Code. The judge may conduct the hearing required by | 9026 |
division (B)(1)(b) of this section for a delinquent child at the | 9027 |
same time as, or separate from, the dispositional hearing, as | 9028 |
specified in the applicable provision of section 2152.82 or | 9029 |
2152.83 of the Revised Code. The court shall give the offender or | 9030 |
delinquent child and the prosecutor who prosecuted the offender or | 9031 |
handled the case against the delinquent child for the child-victim | 9032 |
oriented offense notice of the date, time, and location of the | 9033 |
hearing. At the hearing, the offender or delinquent child and the | 9034 |
prosecutor have the same opportunities and rights as described in | 9035 |
division (B)(2) of section 2950.09 of the Revised Code regarding | 9036 |
sexual predator hearings. | 9037 |
(3) In making a determination under divisions (B)(1) and (4) | 9038 |
of this section as to whether an offender or delinquent child is a | 9039 |
child-victim predator, the judge shall consider all relevant | 9040 |
factors, including, but not limited to, all of the factors | 9041 |
identified in division (B)(3) of section 2950.09 of the Revised | 9042 |
Code regarding sexual predator hearings, except that all | 9043 |
references in those factors to any "sexual offense" or "sexually | 9044 |
oriented offense" shall be construed for purposes of this division | 9045 |
as being references to a "child-victim oriented offense," and all | 9046 |
references in the factors so identified to "sexual offenders" | 9047 |
shall be construed for purposes of this division as being | 9048 |
references to "child-victim offenders." | 9049 |
(4) After reviewing all testimony and evidence presented at | 9050 |
the hearing conducted under division (B)(1) of this section and | 9051 |
the factors specified in division (B)(3) of this section, the | 9052 |
court shall determine by clear and convincing evidence whether the | 9053 |
subject offender or delinquent child is a child-victim predator. | 9054 |
If the court determines that the subject offender or delinquent | 9055 |
child is not a child-victim predator, the court shall specify in | 9056 |
the offender's sentence and the judgment of conviction that | 9057 |
contains the sentence or in the delinquent child's dispositional | 9058 |
order, as appropriate, that the court has determined that the | 9059 |
offender or delinquent child is not a child-victim predator and | 9060 |
the reason or reasons why the court determined that the subject | 9061 |
offender or delinquent child is not a child-victim predator. If | 9062 |
the court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the | 9063 |
subject offender or delinquent child is a child-victim predator, | 9064 |
the court shall specify in the offender's sentence and the | 9065 |
judgment of conviction that contains the sentence or in the | 9066 |
delinquent child's dispositional order, as appropriate, that the | 9067 |
court has determined that the offender or delinquent child is a | 9068 |
child-victim predator and that the determination was pursuant to | 9069 |
division (B) of this section. The offender or delinquent child and | 9070 |
the prosecutor who prosecuted the offender or handled the case | 9071 |
against the delinquent child for the child-victim oriented offense | 9072 |
in question may appeal as a matter of right the court's | 9073 |
determination under this division as to whether the offender or | 9074 |
delinquent child is, or is not, a child-victim predator. | 9075 |
(C)(1) If a person was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a | 9076 |
child-victim oriented offense that was committed before January 1, | 9077 |
2008, or a sexually oriented offense committed before that date | 9078 |
that on and after July 31, 2003, is a child-victim oriented | 9079 |
offense, if the person is serving a term of imprisonment in a | 9080 |
state correctional institution as of the effective date of this | 9081 |
section, and if the person previously has not received a hearing | 9082 |
to determine whether the person is a child-victim predator, the | 9083 |
department of rehabilitation and correction shall determine | 9084 |
whether to recommend that the offender be adjudicated a | 9085 |
child-victim predator. In making a determination under this | 9086 |
division as to whether to recommend that the offender be | 9087 |
adjudicated a child-victim predator, the department shall consider | 9088 |
all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, all of the | 9089 |
factors specified in divisions (B)(2) and (3) of this section. If | 9090 |
the department determines that it will recommend that the offender | 9091 |
be adjudicated a child-victim predator or determines that it will | 9092 |
not recommend that the offender be adjudicated a child-victim | 9093 |
predator, it immediately shall send its recommendation or | 9094 |
determination to the court that sentenced the offender. In all | 9095 |
cases, the department shall enter its determination and | 9096 |
recommendation in the offender's institutional record, and the | 9097 |
court shall proceed in accordance with division (C)(2) of this | 9098 |
section. | 9099 |
(2)(a) If, pursuant to division (C)(1) of this section, the | 9100 |
department of rehabilitation and correction sends to a court a | 9101 |
recommendation that an offender be adjudicated a child-victim | 9102 |
predator, the court is not bound by the department's | 9103 |
recommendation, and the court shall conduct a hearing to determine | 9104 |
whether the offender is a child-victim predator. The court shall | 9105 |
not make a determination as to whether the offender is, or is not, | 9106 |
a child-victim predator without a hearing. The court may hold the | 9107 |
hearing and make the determination prior to the offender's release | 9108 |
from imprisonment or at any time within one year following the | 9109 |
offender's release from that imprisonment. | 9110 |
(b) If, pursuant to division (C)(1) of this section, the | 9111 |
department sends to the court a determination that it is not | 9112 |
recommending that an offender be adjudicated a child-victim | 9113 |
predator, the court shall not make any determination as to whether | 9114 |
the offender is, or is not, a child-victim predator but shall | 9115 |
determine whether the offender previously has been convicted of or | 9116 |
pleaded guilty to a child-victim oriented offense other than the | 9117 |
offense in relation to which the department made its | 9118 |
determination. | 9119 |
The court may conduct a hearing to determine whether the | 9120 |
offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a | 9121 |
child-victim oriented offense but may make the determination | 9122 |
without a hearing. However, if the court determines that the | 9123 |
offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to | 9124 |
such an offense, it shall not impose a requirement that the | 9125 |
offender be subject to the community notification provisions | 9126 |
contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code | 9127 |
without a hearing. The court shall include in the offender's | 9128 |
institutional record any determination made under this division as | 9129 |
to whether the offender previously has been convicted of or | 9130 |
pleaded guilty to a child-victim oriented offense and whether the | 9131 |
offender is a habitual child-victim offender. | 9132 |
(c) Upon scheduling a hearing under division (C)(2)(a) or (b) | 9133 |
of this section, the court shall give the offender and the | 9134 |
prosecutor who prosecuted the offender for the child-victim | 9135 |
oriented offense, or that prosecutor's successor in office, notice | 9136 |
of the date, time, and place of the hearing. If the hearing is | 9137 |
scheduled under division (C)(2)(a) of this section to determine | 9138 |
whether the offender is a child-victim predator, it shall be | 9139 |
conducted in the manner described in division (B)(1) of this | 9140 |
section regarding hearings conducted under that division. In | 9141 |
making a determination under this division as to whether the | 9142 |
offender is a child-victim predator, the court shall consider all | 9143 |
relevant factors, including, but not limited to, all of the | 9144 |
factors specified in divisions (B)(2) and (3) of this section. | 9145 |
After reviewing all testimony and evidence presented at the | 9146 |
child-victim predator hearing and the factors specified in | 9147 |
divisions (B)(2) and (3) of this section, the court shall | 9148 |
determine by clear and convincing evidence whether the offender is | 9149 |
a child-victim predator. If the court determines at the | 9150 |
child-victim predator hearing that the offender is not a | 9151 |
child-victim predator, it also shall determine whether the | 9152 |
offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a | 9153 |
child-victim oriented offense other than the offense in relation | 9154 |
to which the hearing is being conducted. | 9155 |
Upon making its determinations at the child-victim predator | 9156 |
hearing, the court shall proceed as follows: | 9157 |
(i) If the court determines that the offender is not a | 9158 |
child-victim predator and that the offender previously has not | 9159 |
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a child-victim oriented | 9160 |
offense other than the offense in relation to which the hearing is | 9161 |
being conducted, it shall include in the offender's institutional | 9162 |
record its determinations and the reason or reasons why it | 9163 |
determined that the offender is not a child-victim predator. | 9164 |
(ii) If the court determines that the offender is not a | 9165 |
child-victim predator but that the offender previously has been | 9166 |
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a child-victim oriented offense | 9167 |
other than the offense in relation to which the hearing is being | 9168 |
conducted, it shall include in the offender's institutional record | 9169 |
its determination that the offender is not a child-victim predator | 9170 |
but is a habitual child-victim offender and the reason or reasons | 9171 |
why it determined that the offender is not a child-victim | 9172 |
predator. It shall attach the determinations and the reason or | 9173 |
reasons to the offender's sentence, shall specify that the | 9174 |
determinations were made pursuant to division (C) of this section, | 9175 |
and shall provide a copy of the determinations and the reason or | 9176 |
reasons to the offender, to the prosecuting attorney, and to the | 9177 |
department of rehabilitation and correction. The court may impose | 9178 |
a requirement that the offender be subject to the community | 9179 |
notification provisions contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 | 9180 |
of the Revised Code. The offender shall not be subject to those | 9181 |
community notification provisions relative to the child-victim | 9182 |
oriented offense in question if the court does not so impose the | 9183 |
requirement described in this division. If the court imposes that | 9184 |
requirement, the offender may appeal the judge's determination | 9185 |
that the offender is a habitual child-victim offender. | 9186 |
(iii) If the court determines by clear and convincing | 9187 |
evidence that the offender is a child-victim predator, it shall | 9188 |
enter its determination in the offender's institutional record. It | 9189 |
shall attach the determination to the offender's sentence, shall | 9190 |
specify that the determination was made pursuant to division (C) | 9191 |
of this section, and shall provide a copy of the determination to | 9192 |
the offender, to the prosecuting attorney, and to the department | 9193 |
of rehabilitation and correction. The offender and the prosecutor | 9194 |
may appeal as a matter of right the judge's determination under | 9195 |
this division as to whether the offender is, or is not, a | 9196 |
child-victim predator. | 9197 |
If the hearing is scheduled under division (C)(2)(b) of this | 9198 |
section to determine whether the offender previously has been | 9199 |
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a child-victim oriented offense | 9200 |
or whether to subject the offender to the community notification | 9201 |
provisions contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the | 9202 |
Revised Code, upon making the determination, the court shall | 9203 |
attach the determination or determinations to the offender's | 9204 |
sentence. It shall provide a copy to the offender, to the | 9205 |
prosecuting attorney, and to the department of rehabilitation and | 9206 |
correction and may impose a requirement that the offender be | 9207 |
subject to the community notification provisions. The offender | 9208 |
shall not be subject to the community notification provisions | 9209 |
relative to the child-victim oriented offense in question if the | 9210 |
court does not so impose the requirement described in this | 9211 |
division. If the court imposes that requirement, the offender may | 9212 |
appeal the judge's determination that the offender is a habitual | 9213 |
child-victim offender. | 9214 |
(3) Divisions (C)(1) and (2) of this section do not require a | 9215 |
court to conduct a new hearing under those divisions for any | 9216 |
offender regarding a child-victim oriented offense if any of the | 9217 |
following apply: | 9218 |
(a) Prior to July 31, 2003, the court previously conducted a | 9219 |
hearing under divisions (C)(1) and (2) of section 2950.09 of the | 9220 |
Revised Code as they then existed regarding that offense, while it | 9221 |
formerly was classified a sexually oriented offense, to determine | 9222 |
whether the offender was a sexual predator. | 9223 |
(b) Prior to July 31, 2003, and pursuant to divisions (C)(1) | 9224 |
and (2) of section 2950.09 of the Revised Code as they then | 9225 |
existed, the department of rehabilitation and correction | 9226 |
recommended that the offender be adjudicated a sexual predator | 9227 |
regarding that offense, while it formerly was classified a | 9228 |
sexually oriented offense, and the court denied the recommendation | 9229 |
and determined that the offender was not a sexual predator without | 9230 |
a hearing, provided that this provision does not apply if the | 9231 |
child-victim oriented offense in question was, regardless of the | 9232 |
age of the victim of the offense, a violation of section 2903.01, | 9233 |
2903.02, 2903.11, or 2905.01 of the Revised Code, or of division | 9234 |
(A) of section 2903.04 of the Revised Code, that was committed | 9235 |
with a sexual motivation. | 9236 |
(D)(1) A person who has been adjudicated a delinquent child | 9237 |
for committing a child-victim oriented offense and who has been | 9238 |
classified by a juvenile court judge a juvenile offender | 9239 |
registrant or, if applicable, additionally has been determined by | 9240 |
a juvenile court judge to be a child-victim predator or habitual | 9241 |
child-victim offender, may petition the adjudicating court for a | 9242 |
reclassification or declassification pursuant to section 2152.85 | 9243 |
of the Revised Code. | 9244 |
A judge who is reviewing a child-victim predator | 9245 |
determination for a delinquent child under section 2152.84 or | 9246 |
2152.85 of the Revised Code shall comply with this section. At the | 9247 |
hearing, the judge shall consider all relevant evidence and | 9248 |
information, including, but not limited to, the factors set forth | 9249 |
in division (B)(3) of this section. The judge shall not enter a | 9250 |
determination that the delinquent child no longer is a | 9251 |
child-victim predator unless the judge determines by clear and | 9252 |
convincing evidence that the delinquent child is unlikely to | 9253 |
commit a child-victim oriented offense in the future. If the judge | 9254 |
enters a determination under this division that the delinquent | 9255 |
child no longer is a child-victim predator, the judge shall notify | 9256 |
the bureau of criminal identification and investigation of the | 9257 |
determination and shall include in the notice a statement of the | 9258 |
reason or reasons why it determined that the delinquent child no | 9259 |
longer is a child-victim predator. Upon receipt of the | 9260 |
notification, the bureau promptly shall notify the sheriff with | 9261 |
whom the delinquent child most recently registered under section | 9262 |
2950.04 or 2950.05 of the Revised Code of the determination that | 9263 |
the offender no longer is a child-victim predator. | 9264 |
(2) If an offender who has been convicted of or pleaded | 9265 |
guilty to a child-victim oriented offense is classified a | 9266 |
child-victim predator pursuant to division (A) of this section or | 9267 |
has been adjudicated a child-victim predator relative to the | 9268 |
offense as described in division (B) or (C) of this section, | 9269 |
subject to division (F) of this section, the classification or | 9270 |
adjudication of the offender as a child-victim predator is | 9271 |
permanent and continues in effect until the offender's death, and | 9272 |
in no case shall the classification or adjudication be removed or | 9273 |
terminated. | 9274 |
(E)(1) If, prior to July 31, 2003, a person was convicted of, | 9275 |
pleaded guilty to, or was adjudicated a delinquent child for | 9276 |
committing a sexually oriented offense, if, on and after July 31, | 9277 |
2003, the sexually oriented offense no longer is considered a | 9278 |
sexually oriented offense but instead is a child-victim oriented | 9279 |
offense, if, prior to July 31, 2003, a judge determined that the | 9280 |
offender or delinquent child was a habitual sex offender, and if | 9281 |
one or more of the offenses that was the basis of the offender or | 9282 |
delinquent child being a habitual sex offender remains on and | 9283 |
after July 31, 2003, a sexually oriented offense, notwithstanding | 9284 |
the redesignation of the offense as described in this division, | 9285 |
the determination and classification of that person as a habitual | 9286 |
sex offender remains valid and in effect on and after July 31, | 9287 |
2003, and on and after the effective date of this section. | 9288 |
(2) If, prior to July 31, 2003, a person was convicted of, | 9289 |
pleaded guilty to, or was adjudicated a delinquent child for | 9290 |
committing a sexually oriented offense, if, on and after July 31, | 9291 |
2003, the sexually oriented offense no longer is considered a | 9292 |
sexually oriented offense but instead is a child-victim oriented | 9293 |
offense, if, prior to July 31, 2003, a judge determined that the | 9294 |
offender or delinquent child was a habitual sex offender, and if | 9295 |
none of the offenses that was the basis of the offender or | 9296 |
delinquent child being a habitual sex offender remains on and | 9297 |
after July 31, 2003, a sexually oriented offense, on and after | 9298 |
July 31, 2003, and on and after the effective date of this | 9299 |
section, the offender or delinquent child automatically is | 9300 |
classified a habitual child-victim offender. | 9301 |
(3) The judge who is to impose sentence on or after the | 9302 |
effective date of this section on a person who is convicted of or | 9303 |
pleads guilty to a child-victim oriented offense committed before | 9304 |
January 1, 2008, shall determine, prior to sentencing, whether the | 9305 |
offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or | 9306 |
been adjudicated a delinquent child for committing, a child-victim | 9307 |
oriented offense and is a habitual child-victim offender. | 9308 |
The judge who is to impose or has imposed an order of | 9309 |
disposition on or after the effective date of this section upon a | 9310 |
child who is adjudicated a delinquent child for committing before | 9311 |
January 1, 2008, a child-victim oriented offense shall determine, | 9312 |
prior to entering the order classifying the delinquent child a | 9313 |
juvenile offender registrant, whether the delinquent child | 9314 |
previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or been | 9315 |
adjudicated a delinquent child for committing, a child-victim | 9316 |
oriented offense and is a habitual child-victim offender, if | 9317 |
either of the following applies: | 9318 |
(a) The judge is required by section 2152.82 or division (A) | 9319 |
of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code to classify the child a | 9320 |
juvenile offender registrant. | 9321 |
(b) Division (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code | 9322 |
applies regarding the child, the judge conducts a hearing under | 9323 |
that division for the purposes described in that division, and the | 9324 |
judge determines at that hearing that the child is a juvenile | 9325 |
offender registrant. | 9326 |
(4) If, under division (E)(3) of this section, the judge | 9327 |
determines that the offender or delinquent child previously has | 9328 |
not been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or been adjudicated a | 9329 |
delinquent child for committing, a child-victim oriented offense | 9330 |
or that the offender otherwise does not satisfy the criteria for | 9331 |
being a habitual child-victim offender, the judge shall specify in | 9332 |
the offender's sentence or in the order classifying the delinquent | 9333 |
child a juvenile child-victim offender registrant that the judge | 9334 |
has determined that the offender or delinquent child is not a | 9335 |
habitual child-victim offender. | 9336 |
If, under division (E)(3) of this section, the judge | 9337 |
determines that the offender or delinquent child previously has | 9338 |
been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or been adjudicated a | 9339 |
delinquent child for committing, a child-victim oriented offense | 9340 |
and that the offender satisfies all other criteria for being a | 9341 |
habitual child-victim offender, the judge shall specify in the | 9342 |
offender's sentence and the judgment of conviction that contains | 9343 |
the sentence or in the order classifying the delinquent child a | 9344 |
juvenile offender registrant that the judge has determined that | 9345 |
the offender or delinquent child is a habitual child-victim | 9346 |
offender and may impose a requirement in that sentence and | 9347 |
judgment of conviction or in that order that the offender or | 9348 |
delinquent child be subject to the community notification | 9349 |
provisions contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the | 9350 |
Revised Code. Unless the habitual child-victim offender also has | 9351 |
been adjudicated a child-victim predator relative to the | 9352 |
child-victim oriented offense in question, the offender or | 9353 |
delinquent child shall be subject to those community notification | 9354 |
provisions only if the court imposes the requirement described in | 9355 |
this division in the offender's sentence and the judgment of | 9356 |
conviction or in the order classifying the delinquent child a | 9357 |
juvenile offender registrant. If the court determines pursuant to | 9358 |
this division or division (C)(2) of this section that an offender | 9359 |
is a habitual child-victim offender, the determination is | 9360 |
permanent and continues in effect until the offender's death, and | 9361 |
in no case shall the determination be removed or terminated. | 9362 |
If a court in another state, a federal court, military court, | 9363 |
or Indian tribal court, or a court in any nation other than the | 9364 |
United States determines a person is a habitual child-victim | 9365 |
offender in that jurisdiction, the person is considered to be | 9366 |
determined a habitual child-victim offender in this state. If the | 9367 |
court in the other state, the federal court, military court, or | 9368 |
Indian tribal court, or the court in any nation other than the | 9369 |
United States subjects the habitual child-victim offender to | 9370 |
community notification regarding the person's place of residence, | 9371 |
the person, as much as is practicable, is subject to the community | 9372 |
notification provisions regarding the person's place of residence | 9373 |
that are contained in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised | 9374 |
Code, unless the court that so subjected the person to community | 9375 |
notification determines that the person no longer is subject to | 9376 |
community notification. | 9377 |
(F)(1) An offender or delinquent child classified a | 9378 |
child-victim predator may petition the court of common pleas or, | 9379 |
for a delinquent child, the juvenile court of the county in which | 9380 |
the offender or delinquent child resides or temporarily is | 9381 |
domiciled to enter a determination that the offender or delinquent | 9382 |
child is not an adjudicated child-victim predator in this state | 9383 |
for purposes of the registration and other requirements of this | 9384 |
chapter or the community notification provisions contained in | 9385 |
sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code if all of the | 9386 |
following apply: | 9387 |
(a) The offender or delinquent child was convicted, pleaded | 9388 |
guilty, or was adjudicated a delinquent child in a court of | 9389 |
another state, in a federal court, military court, or Indian | 9390 |
tribal court, or in a court of any nation other than the United | 9391 |
States for committing a child-victim oriented offense. | 9392 |
(b) As a result of the conviction, guilty plea, or | 9393 |
adjudication described in division (F)(1)(a) of this section, the | 9394 |
offender or delinquent child is required under the law of the | 9395 |
jurisdiction under which the offender or delinquent child was | 9396 |
convicted, pleaded guilty, or was adjudicated to register as a | 9397 |
child-victim offender until the offender's or delinquent child's | 9398 |
death. | 9399 |
(c) The offender or delinquent child was automatically | 9400 |
classified a child-victim predator under division (A) of this | 9401 |
section in relation to the conviction, guilty plea, or | 9402 |
adjudication described in division (F)(1)(a) of this section. | 9403 |
(2) The court may enter a determination that the offender or | 9404 |
delinquent child filing the petition described in division (F)(1) | 9405 |
of this section is not an adjudicated child-victim predator in | 9406 |
this state for purposes of the registration and other requirements | 9407 |
of this chapter or the community notification provisions contained | 9408 |
in sections 2950.10 and 2950.11 of the Revised Code only if the | 9409 |
offender or delinquent child proves by clear and convincing | 9410 |
evidence that the requirement of the other jurisdiction that the | 9411 |
offender or delinquent child register as a child-victim offender | 9412 |
until the offender's or delinquent child's death is not | 9413 |
substantially similar to a classification as a child-victim | 9414 |
predator for purposes of this chapter. If the court enters a | 9415 |
determination that the offender or delinquent child is not an | 9416 |
adjudicated child-victim predator in this state for those | 9417 |
purposes, the court shall include in the determination a statement | 9418 |
of the reason or reasons why it so determined. | 9419 |
Sec. 2950.10. (A)(1) Regardless of when the sexually | 9420 |
oriented offense or child-victim oriented offense was committed, | 9421 |
if a person is convicted of, pleads guilty to, has been convicted | 9422 |
of, or has pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense or a | 9423 |
child-victim oriented offense or a person is or has been | 9424 |
adjudicated a delinquent child for committing a sexually oriented | 9425 |
offense or a child-victim oriented offense and is classified a | 9426 |
juvenile offender registrant or is an out-of-state juvenile | 9427 |
offender registrant based on that adjudication, if the offender or | 9428 |
delinquent child is in any category specified in division | 9429 |
(B)(1)(a), (b), | 9430 |
offender or delinquent child registers with a sheriff pursuant to | 9431 |
section 2950.04, 2950.041, or 2950.05 of the Revised Code, and if | 9432 |
the victim of the sexually oriented offense or child-victim | 9433 |
oriented offense has made a request in accordance with rules | 9434 |

determine by clear and convincing evidence whether the offender is | 11310 |
unlikely to commit a sexually violent offense in the future. | 11311 |
(3) At the conclusion of the hearing held pursuant to | 11312 |
division (A) of this section, the court may order that the | 11313 |
requirement that the offender serve the entire prison term in a | 11314 |
state correctional institution be continued, that the requirement | 11315 |
be modified pursuant to division (C) of this section, that an | 11316 |
existing modification be continued, revised, or revoked pursuant | 11317 |
to division (C) of this section, or that the prison term be | 11318 |
terminated pursuant to division (D) of this section. | 11319 |
(C)(1) If, at the conclusion of a hearing held pursuant to | 11320 |
division (A) of this section, the court determines by clear and | 11321 |
convincing evidence that the offender will not represent a | 11322 |
substantial risk of physical harm to others, the court may modify | 11323 |
the requirement that the offender serve the entire prison term | 11324 |
imposed under division (A)(3), (B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), (B)(2)(a), | 11325 |
(b), or (c), or (B)(3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of section 2971.03 of | 11326 |
the Revised Code in a state correctional institution in a manner | 11327 |
that the court considers appropriate. If the court modifies the | 11328 |
requirement for an offender whose prison term was imposed pursuant | 11329 |
to division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, the | 11330 |
court shall order the adult parole authority to supervise the | 11331 |
offender and shall require that the authority's supervision of the | 11332 |
offender be pursuant to division (E) of this section. If the court | 11333 |
modifies the requirement for an offender whose prison term was | 11334 |
imposed pursuant to division (B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), (2)(a), (b), | 11335 |
or (c), or (3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of section 2971.03 of the | 11336 |
Revised Code, the court shall order the adult parole authority to | 11337 |
supervise the offender and may require that the authority's | 11338 |
supervision of the offender be pursuant to division (E) of this | 11339 |
section. | 11340 |
(2) The modification of the requirement does not terminate | 11341 |
the prison term but serves only to suspend the requirement that | 11342 |
the offender serve the entire term in a state correctional | 11343 |
institution. The prison term shall remain in effect for the | 11344 |
offender's entire life unless the court terminates the prison term | 11345 |
pursuant to division (D) of this section. The offender shall | 11346 |
remain under the jurisdiction of the court for the offender's | 11347 |
entire life unless the court so terminates the prison term. The | 11348 |
modification of the requirement does not terminate the | 11349 |
classification of the offender, as described in division (F) of | 11350 |
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, as a sexual predator for | 11351 |
purposes of Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code, and the offender is | 11352 |
subject to supervision, including supervision under division (E) | 11353 |
of this section if the court required the supervision of the | 11354 |
offender to be pursuant to that division. | 11355 |
(3) If the court revokes the modification under | 11356 |
consideration, the court shall order that the offender be returned | 11357 |
to the custody of the department of rehabilitation and correction | 11358 |
to continue serving the prison term to which the modification | 11359 |
applied, and section 2971.06 of the Revised Code applies regarding | 11360 |
the offender. | 11361 |
(D)(1) If, at the conclusion of a hearing held pursuant to | 11362 |
division (A) of this section, the court determines by clear and | 11363 |
convincing evidence that the offender is unlikely to commit a | 11364 |
sexually violent offense in the future, the court may terminate | 11365 |
the offender's prison term imposed under division (A)(3), | 11366 |
(B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), (B)(2)(a), (b), or (c), or (B)(3)(a), (b), | 11367 |
(c), or (d) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, subject to the | 11368 |
offender satisfactorily completing the period of conditional | 11369 |
release required by this division and, if applicable, compliance | 11370 |
with division (E) of this section. If the court terminates the | 11371 |
prison term, the court shall place the offender on conditional | 11372 |
release for five years, notify the adult parole authority of its | 11373 |
determination and of the termination of the prison term, and order | 11374 |
the adult parole authority to supervise the offender during the | 11375 |
five-year period of conditional release or, if division (E) | 11376 |
applies to the offender, to supervise the offender pursuant to and | 11377 |
for the period of time specified in that division. If the court | 11378 |
terminates the prison term for an offender whose prison term was | 11379 |
imposed pursuant to division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the | 11380 |
Revised Code, the court shall require that the authority's | 11381 |
supervision of the offender be pursuant to division (E) of this | 11382 |
section. If the court terminates the prison term for an offender | 11383 |
whose prison term was imposed pursuant to division (B)(1)(a), (b), | 11384 |
or (c), (2)(a), (b), or (c), or (3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of | 11385 |
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, the court may require that | 11386 |
the authority's supervision of the offender be pursuant to | 11387 |
division (E) of this section. Upon receipt of a notice from a | 11388 |
court pursuant to this division, the adult parole authority shall | 11389 |
supervise the offender who is the subject of the notice during the | 11390 |
five-year period of conditional release, periodically notify the | 11391 |
court of the offender's activities during that five-year period of | 11392 |
conditional release, and file with the court no later than thirty | 11393 |
days prior to the expiration of the five-year period of | 11394 |
conditional release a written recommendation as to whether the | 11395 |
termination of the offender's prison term should be finalized, | 11396 |
whether the period of conditional release should be extended, or | 11397 |
whether another type of action authorized pursuant to this chapter | 11398 |
should be taken. | 11399 |
(2) Upon receipt of a recommendation of the adult parole | 11400 |
authority filed pursuant to division (D)(1) of this section, the | 11401 |
court shall hold a hearing to determine whether to finalize the | 11402 |
termination of the offender's prison term, to extend the period of | 11403 |
conditional release, or to take another type of action authorized | 11404 |
pursuant to this chapter. The court shall hold the hearing no | 11405 |
later than the date on which the five-year period of conditional | 11406 |
release terminates and shall provide notice of the date, time, | 11407 |
place, and purpose of the hearing to the offender and to the | 11408 |
prosecuting attorney. At the hearing, the offender, the | 11409 |
prosecuting attorney, and the adult parole authority employee who | 11410 |
supervised the offender during the period of conditional release | 11411 |
may make a statement and present evidence. | 11412 |
If the court determines at the hearing to extend an | 11413 |
offender's period of conditional release, it may do so for | 11414 |
additional periods of one year in the same manner as the original | 11415 |
period of conditional release, and, except as otherwise described | 11416 |
in this division, all procedures and requirements that applied to | 11417 |
the original period of conditional release apply to the additional | 11418 |
period of extended conditional release unless the court modifies a | 11419 |
procedure or requirement. If an offender's period of conditional | 11420 |
release is extended as described in this division, all references | 11421 |
to a five-year period of conditional release that are contained in | 11422 |
division (D)(1) of this section shall be construed, in applying | 11423 |
the provisions of that division to the extension, as being | 11424 |
references to the one-year period of the extension of the | 11425 |
conditional release. | 11426 |
If the court determines at the hearing to take another type | 11427 |
of action authorized pursuant to this chapter, it may do so in the | 11428 |
same manner as if the action had been taken at any other stage of | 11429 |
the proceedings under this chapter. As used in this division, | 11430 |
"another type of action" includes the revocation of the | 11431 |
conditional release and the return of the offender to a state | 11432 |
correctional institution to continue to serve the prison term. | 11433 |
If the court determines at the hearing to finalize the | 11434 |
termination of the offender's prison term, it shall notify the | 11435 |
department of rehabilitation and correction, the department shall | 11436 |
enter into its records a final release and issue to the offender a | 11437 |
certificate of final release, and the prison term thereafter shall | 11438 |
be considered completed and terminated in every way. | 11439 |
(3) The termination of an offender's prison term pursuant to | 11440 |
division (D)(1) or (2) of this section does not affect the | 11441 |
classification of the offender, as described in division (F) of | 11442 |
section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, as a tier III sex | 11443 |
offender/child-victim offender or a sexual predator, as | 11444 |
applicable, for purposes of Chapter 2950. of the Revised Code, | 11445 |
does not terminate the adult parole authority's supervision of the | 11446 |
offender, and, if the court had required the supervision of the | 11447 |
offender to be pursuant to division (E) of this section, does not | 11448 |
terminate the supervision of the offender with an active global | 11449 |
positioning system device, pursuant to that division. The | 11450 |
classification of the offender as a sexual predator is permanent | 11451 |
and continues until the offender's death as described in division | 11452 |
(D)(2) of section 2950.09 of the Revised Code. | 11453 |
(E) If a prison term imposed upon an offender pursuant to | 11454 |
division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code is modified | 11455 |
as provided in division (C) of this section or terminated as | 11456 |
provided in division (D) of this section, the adult parole | 11457 |
authority shall supervise the offender with an active global | 11458 |
positioning system device during any time period in which the | 11459 |
offender is not incarcerated in a state correctional institution. | 11460 |
If a prison term imposed upon an offender pursuant to division | 11461 |
(B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), (2)(a), (b), or (c), or (3)(a), (b), (c), | 11462 |
or (d) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code is modified as | 11463 |
provided in division (C) of this section or terminated as provided | 11464 |
in division (D) of this section, and if the court requires that | 11465 |
the adult parole authority's supervision of the offender be | 11466 |
pursuant to this division, the authority shall supervise the | 11467 |
offender with an active global positioning system device during | 11468 |
any time period in which the offender is not incarcerated in a | 11469 |
state correctional institution. If the adult parole authority is | 11470 |
required to supervise the offender with an active global | 11471 |
positioning system device as described in this division, unless | 11472 |
the court removes the offender's classification as a sexually | 11473 |
violent predator regarding an offender whose prison term was | 11474 |
imposed under division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised | 11475 |
Code or terminates the requirement that supervision of the | 11476 |
offender be pursuant to this division regarding an offender whose | 11477 |
prison term was imposed under division (B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), | 11478 |
(2)(a), (b), or (c), or (3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of section | 11479 |
2971.03 of the Revised Code, the offender is subject to | 11480 |
supervision with an active global positioning system pursuant to | 11481 |
this division for the offender's entire life. The costs of | 11482 |
administering the supervision of offenders with an active global | 11483 |
positioning system device pursuant to this division shall be paid | 11484 |
out of funds from the reparations fund, created pursuant to | 11485 |
section 2743.191 of the Revised Code. This division shall only | 11486 |
apply to a sexually violent predator sentenced pursuant to | 11487 |
division (A)(3) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code who is | 11488 |
released from the custody of the department of rehabilitation and | 11489 |
correction on or after September 29, 2005, or an offender | 11490 |
sentenced pursuant to division (B)(1) or (2) of section 2971.03 of | 11491 |
the Revised Code on or after January 2, 2007. | 11492 |
Sec. 5321.03. (A) Notwithstanding section 5321.02 of the | 11493 |
Revised Code, a landlord may bring an action under Chapter 1923. | 11494 |
of the Revised Code for possession of the premises if: | 11495 |
(1) The tenant is in default in the payment of rent; | 11496 |
(2) The violation of the applicable building, housing, | 11497 |
health, or safety code that the tenant complained of was primarily | 11498 |
caused by any act or lack of reasonable care by the tenant, or by | 11499 |
any other person in the tenant's household, or by anyone on the | 11500 |
premises with the consent of the tenant; | 11501 |
(3) Compliance with the applicable building, housing, health, | 11502 |
or safety code would require alteration, remodeling, or demolition | 11503 |
of the premises which would effectively deprive the tenant of the | 11504 |
use of the dwelling unit; | 11505 |
(4) A tenant is holding over the tenant's term. | 11506 |
(5) The residential premises are located within one thousand | 11507 |
feet of any school premises or preschool or child day-care center | 11508 |
premises, and both of the following apply regarding the tenant or | 11509 |
other occupant who resides in or occupies the premises: | 11510 |
(a) The tenant's or other occupant's name appears on the | 11511 |
state registry of sex offenders and child-victim offenders | 11512 |
maintained under section 2950.13 of the Revised Code, and the | 11513 |
tenant's or other occupant's residency at the premises is in | 11514 |
violation of section 2950.034 of the Revised Code. | 11515 |
(b) The state registry of sex offenders and child-victim | 11516 |
offenders indicates that the tenant or other occupant was | 11517 |
convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense or a | 11518 |
child-victim oriented offense in a criminal prosecution and was | 11519 |
not sentenced to a serious youthful offender dispositional | 11520 |
sentence for that offense. | 11521 |
(B) The maintenance of an action by the landlord under this | 11522 |
section does not prevent the tenant from recovering damages for | 11523 |
any violation by the landlord of the rental agreement or of | 11524 |
section 5321.04 of the Revised Code. | 11525 |
(C) This section does not apply to a dwelling unit occupied | 11526 |
by a student tenant. | 11527 |
Sec. 5321.051. (A)(1) No tenant of any residential premises | 11528 |
located within one thousand feet of any school premises or | 11529 |
preschool or child day-care center premises shall allow any person | 11530 |
to occupy those residential premises in violation of section | 11531 |
2950.034 of the Revised Code if both of the following apply | 11532 |
regarding the person: | 11533 |
(a) The person's name appears on the state registry of sex | 11534 |
offenders and child-victim offenders maintained under section | 11535 |
2950.13 of the Revised Code. | 11536 |
(b) The state registry of sex offenders and child-victim | 11537 |
offenders indicates that the person was convicted of or pleaded | 11538 |
guilty to either a sexually oriented offense that is not a | 11539 |
registration-exempt sexually oriented offense or a child-victim | 11540 |
oriented offense in a criminal prosecution and was not sentenced | 11541 |
to a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence for that | 11542 |
offense. | 11543 |
(2) If a tenant allows occupancy in violation of this section | 11544 |
or a person establishes a residence or occupies residential | 11545 |
premises in violation of section 2950.034 of the Revised Code, the | 11546 |
landlord for the residential premises that are the subject of the | 11547 |
rental agreement or other tenancy may terminate the rental | 11548 |
agreement or other tenancy of the tenant and all other occupants. | 11549 |
(B) If a landlord is authorized to terminate a rental | 11550 |
agreement or other tenancy pursuant to division (A) of this | 11551 |
section but does not so terminate the rental agreement or other | 11552 |
tenancy, the landlord is not liable in a tort or other civil | 11553 |
action in damages for any injury, death, or loss to person or | 11554 |
property that allegedly results from that decision. | 11555 |
Section 2. That existing sections 109.57, 109.572, 109.578, | 11556 |
311.171, 1923.02, 2151.23, 2151.357, 2152.02, 2152.14, 2152.191, | 11557 |

Section 3. That the versions of sections 109.57, 2950.11, and | 11565 |
2950.13 of the Revised Code that are scheduled to take effect on | 11566 |
January 1, 2014, be amended to read as follows: | 11567 |

the bureau of criminal identification and investigation. | 12379 |
