allegedly occurred. The sworn complaint may be upon information | 494 |
and belief, and, in addition to the allegation that the child is a | 495 |
delinquent child or a juvenile traffic offender, the complaint | 496 |
shall allege the particular facts upon which the allegation that | 497 |
the child is a delinquent child or a juvenile traffic offender is | 498 |

care of the child, in the juvenile court of the county in which | 521 |
the child has a residence or legal settlement or in which the | 522 |
child is supposed to attend public school. The sworn complaint may | 523 |
be upon information and belief and shall allege that the child is | 524 |
a delinquent child for being a chronic truant or an habitual | 525 |

that a child committed an act that would be a criminal offense if | 547 |
committed by an adult, that the child was sixteen years of age or | 548 |
older at the time of the commission of the alleged act, and that | 549 |
the alleged act is any of the following: | 550 |
(1) A violation of section 2923.122 of the Revised Code that | 551 |

Code, that was committed on property owned or controlled by, or at | 568 |
an activity held under the auspices of, the board of education of | 569 |
that school district, if the victim at the time of the commission | 570 |
of the alleged act was an employee of the board of education of | 571 |
that school district; | 572 |
(5) Complicity in any violation described in division (C)(1), | 573 |
(2), (3), or (4) of this section that was alleged to have been | 574 |
committed in the manner described in division (C)(1), (2), (3), or | 575 |

was committed on property owned or controlled by, or at an | 577 |
activity held under the auspices of, the board of education of | 578 |
that school district. | 579 |
(D) A public children services agency, acting pursuant to a | 580 |
complaint or an action on a complaint filed under this section, is | 581 |
not subject to the requirements of section 3127.23 of the Revised | 582 |
Code. | 583 |
(E) For purposes of the record to be maintained by the clerk | 584 |
under division (B) of section 2152.71 of the Revised Code, when a | 585 |

child, the court shall determine if the victim of the alleged | 587 |
delinquent act was sixty-five years of age or older or permanently | 588 |
and totally disabled at the time of the alleged commission of the | 589 |
act. | 590 |
(F)(1) At any time after the filing of a complaint alleging | 591 |
that a child is a delinquent child and before adjudication, the | 592 |
court may hold a hearing to determine whether to hold the | 593 |
complaint in abeyance pending the child's successful completion of | 594 |
actions that constitute a method to divert the child from the | 595 |
juvenile court system if the child agrees to the hearing and | 596 |
either of the following applies: | 597 |
(a) The act charged would be a violation of section 2907.24, | 598 |
2907.241, or 2907.25 of the Revised Code if the child were an | 599 |
adult. | 600 |
(b) The court has reason to believe that the child is a | 601 |
victim of a violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code, | 602 |
regardless of whether any person has been convicted of a violation | 603 |
of that section or of any other section for victimizing the child, | 604 |
and the act charged is related to the child's victimization. | 605 |
(2) The prosecuting attorney has the right to participate in | 606 |
any hearing held under division (F)(1) of this section, to object | 607 |
to holding the complaint that is the subject of the hearing in | 608 |
abeyance, and to make recommendations related to diversion | 609 |
actions. No statement made by a child at a hearing held under | 610 |
division (F)(1) of this section is admissible in any subsequent | 611 |
proceeding against the child. | 612 |
(3) If either division (F)(1)(a) or (b) of this section | 613 |
applies, the court shall promptly appoint a guardian ad litem for | 614 |
the child. The court shall not appoint the child's attorney as | 615 |
guardian ad litem. If the court decides to hold the complaint in | 616 |
abeyance, the guardian ad litem shall make a recommendation to the | 617 |
court as to whether the court should place the child under the | 618 |
protective supervision or temporary custody of a public children | 619 |
services agency. | 620 |
(4) If after a hearing the court decides to hold the | 621 |
complaint in abeyance, it may place the child under the protective | 622 |
supervision or temporary custody of a public children services | 623 |
agency pursuant to section 2151.33 of the Revised Code and may | 624 |
make any orders regarding placement, services, supervision, | 625 |
diversion actions, and conditions of abeyance that the court | 626 |
considers appropriate and in the best interest of the child. The | 627 |
court may hold the complaint in abeyance for up to ninety days | 628 |
while the child engages in diversion actions. If the child | 629 |
violates the conditions of abeyance or does not complete the | 630 |
diversion actions to the court's satisfaction within ninety days, | 631 |
the court may extend the period of abeyance for not more than two | 632 |
additional ninety-day periods. | 633 |
(5) If the court holds the complaint in abeyance and the | 634 |
child complies with the conditions of abeyance and completes the | 635 |
diversion actions to the court's satisfaction, the court shall | 636 |
dismiss the complaint and order that the records pertaining to the | 637 |
case be expunged immediately. If the child fails to complete the | 638 |
diversion actions to the court's satisfaction, the court shall | 639 |
proceed upon the complaint. | 640 |

benefit received by persons other than the victim as a result of | 644 |
the actions the victim was compelled to perform, regardless of | 645 |
whether the trafficker was prosecuted or convicted for an alleged | 646 |
violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code. | 647 |
(B) The cause of action created by this section is in | 648 |
addition to any other cause of action available under statutory or | 649 |
common law. | 650 |
Sec. 2743.60. (A) The attorney general, a court of claims | 651 |
panel of commissioners, or a judge of the court of claims shall | 652 |
not make or order an award of reparations to a claimant if the | 653 |
criminally injurious conduct upon which the claimant bases a claim | 654 |
never was reported to a law enforcement officer or agency. | 655 |
(B)(1) The attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a | 656 |
judge of the court of claims shall not make or order an award of | 657 |
reparations to a claimant if any of the following apply: | 658 |
(a) The claimant is the offender or an accomplice of the | 659 |
offender who committed the criminally injurious conduct, or the | 660 |
award would unjustly benefit the offender or accomplice. | 661 |
(b) Except as provided in division (B)(2) of this section, | 662 |
both of the following apply: | 663 |
(i) The victim was a passenger in a motor vehicle and knew or | 664 |
reasonably should have known that the driver was under the | 665 |

(2) Division (B)(1)(b) of this section does not apply if on | 680 |
the date of the occurrence of the criminally injurious conduct, | 681 |
the victim was under sixteen years of age or was at least sixteen | 682 |
years of age but less than eighteen years of age and was riding | 683 |
with a parent, guardian, or care-provider. | 684 |
(C) The attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a | 685 |
judge of the court of claims, upon a finding that the claimant or | 686 |

agencies, may deny a claim or reconsider and reduce an award of | 688 |
reparations. | 689 |
(D) The attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a | 690 |
judge of the court of claims shall reduce an award of reparations | 691 |
or deny a claim for an award of reparations that is otherwise | 692 |
payable to a claimant to the extent that the economic loss upon | 693 |
which the claim is based is recouped from other persons, including | 694 |
collateral sources. If an award is reduced or a claim is denied | 695 |
because of the expected recoupment of all or part of the economic | 696 |
loss of the claimant from a collateral source, the amount of the | 697 |
award or the denial of the claim shall be conditioned upon the | 698 |
claimant's economic loss being recouped by the collateral source. | 699 |
If the award or denial is conditioned upon the recoupment of the | 700 |
claimant's economic loss from a collateral source and it is | 701 |
determined that the claimant did not unreasonably fail to present | 702 |
a timely claim to the collateral source and will not receive all | 703 |
or part of the expected recoupment, the claim may be reopened and | 704 |
an award may be made in an amount equal to the amount of expected | 705 |
recoupment that it is determined the claimant will not receive | 706 |
from the collateral source. | 707 |
If the claimant recoups all or part of the economic loss upon | 708 |
which the claim is based from any other person or entity, | 709 |

award that represents the economic loss for which the claimant | 712 |
received the recoupment from the other person or entity. | 713 |
(E)(1) Except as otherwise provided in division (E)(2) of | 714 |
this section, the attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a | 715 |

if any of the following applies: | 717 |
(a) The victim was convicted of a felony within ten years | 718 |
prior to the criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the | 719 |
claim or is convicted of a felony during the pendency of the | 720 |
claim. | 721 |
(b) The claimant was convicted of a felony within ten years | 722 |
prior to the criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the | 723 |

(c) It is proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the | 726 |
victim or the claimant engaged, within ten years prior to the | 727 |
criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the claim or during | 728 |
the pendency of the claim, in an offense of violence, a violation | 729 |
of section 2925.03 of the Revised Code, or any substantially | 730 |
similar offense that also would constitute a felony under the laws | 731 |
of this state, another state, or the United States. | 732 |
(d) The claimant was convicted of a violation of section | 733 |
2919.22 or 2919.25 of the Revised Code, or of any state law or | 734 |
municipal ordinance substantially similar to either section, | 735 |
within ten years prior to the criminally injurious conduct that | 736 |
gave rise to the claim or during the pendency of the claim. | 737 |
(e) It is proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the | 738 |
victim at the time of the criminally injurious conduct that gave | 739 |
rise to the claim engaged in conduct that was a felony violation | 740 |
of section 2925.11 of the Revised Code or engaged in any | 741 |
substantially similar conduct that would constitute a felony under | 742 |
the laws of this state, another state, or the United States. | 743 |
(2) The attorney general, a panel of commissioners, or a | 744 |
judge of the court of claims may make an award to a minor | 745 |
dependent of a deceased victim for dependent's economic loss or | 746 |
for counseling pursuant to division (F)(2) of section 2743.51 of | 747 |
the Revised Code if the minor dependent is not ineligible under | 748 |
division (E)(1) of this section due to the minor dependent's | 749 |
criminal history and if the victim was not killed while engaging | 750 |
in illegal conduct that contributed to the criminally injurious | 751 |
conduct that gave rise to the claim. For purposes of this section, | 752 |
the use of illegal drugs by the deceased victim shall not be | 753 |
deemed to have contributed to the criminally injurious conduct | 754 |
that gave rise to the claim. | 755 |
(F) In determining whether to make an award of reparations | 756 |
pursuant to this section, the attorney general or panel of | 757 |
commissioners shall consider whether there was contributory | 758 |
misconduct by the victim or the claimant. The attorney general, a | 759 |

least one year's duration that are available for persons sentenced | 1324 |
by the court within the forty-five-day period specified in this | 1325 |

(B)(1)(a) of this section if the offender violates the conditions | 1331 |
of the community control sanction, violates a law, or leaves the | 1332 |

in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a prison term | 1371 |
is consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set | 1372 |
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and finds that the | 1373 |
offender is not amenable to an available community control | 1374 |
sanction, the court shall impose a prison term upon the offender. | 1375 |
(b) Except as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this | 1376 |
section, if the court does not make a finding described in | 1377 |
division (B)(2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) of | 1378 |
this section and if the court, after considering the factors set | 1379 |
forth in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a | 1380 |
community control sanction or combination of community control | 1381 |

sentencing set forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code, the | 1383 |

sanction for a felony of the third degree or a felony drug offense | 1388 |
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised | 1389 |
Code and that is specified as being subject to this division for | 1390 |
purposes of sentencing, the sentencing court shall comply with the | 1391 |
purposes and principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the | 1392 |
Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of the Revised Code. | 1393 |
(D)(1) Except as provided in division (E) or (F) of this | 1394 |
section, for a felony of the first or second degree, for a felony | 1395 |
drug offense that is a violation of any provision of Chapter | 1396 |
2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption | 1397 |
in favor of a prison term is specified as being applicable, and | 1398 |
for a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of section 2907.05 of | 1399 |
the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a prison term | 1400 |
is specified as being applicable, it is presumed that a prison | 1401 |
term is necessary in order to comply with the purposes and | 1402 |
principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the Revised | 1403 |
Code. Division (D)(2) of this section does not apply to a | 1404 |
presumption established under this division for a violation of | 1405 |
division (A)(4) of section 2907.05 of the Revised Code. | 1406 |
(2) Notwithstanding the presumption established under | 1407 |
division (D)(1) of this section for the offenses listed in that | 1408 |
division other than a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of | 1409 |
section 2907.05 of the Revised Code, the sentencing court may | 1410 |
impose a community control sanction or a combination of community | 1411 |
control sanctions instead of a prison term on an offender for a | 1412 |
felony of the first or second degree or for a felony drug offense | 1413 |
that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 2925., 3719., or | 1414 |
4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a | 1415 |
prison term is specified as being applicable if it makes both of | 1416 |
the following findings: | 1417 |
(a) A community control sanction or a combination of | 1418 |
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender | 1419 |
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable | 1420 |
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a | 1421 |
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors | 1422 |
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism. | 1423 |
(b) A community control sanction or a combination of | 1424 |
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of | 1425 |
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of | 1426 |
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was | 1427 |
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are | 1428 |
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that | 1429 |
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious | 1430 |
than conduct normally constituting the offense. | 1431 |
(E)(1) Except as provided in division (F) of this section, | 1432 |
for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of | 1433 |
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the | 1434 |
third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of a presumption | 1435 |
under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of | 1436 |
division (B) or (C) of this section in determining whether to | 1437 |
impose a prison term for the offense shall be determined as | 1438 |
specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06, | 1439 |
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 2925.37 of the | 1440 |
Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation. | 1441 |
(2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to | 1442 |
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction | 1443 |
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive | 1444 |
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation | 1445 |
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned | 1446 |
unless the court determines on the record either of the following: | 1447 |
(a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the | 1448 |
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug | 1449 |
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program, | 1450 |
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable | 1451 |
period of participation in the program. | 1452 |
(b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is | 1453 |
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set | 1454 |
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code. | 1455 |
(3) A court that sentences an offender for a drug abuse | 1456 |
offense that is a felony of the third, fourth, or fifth degree may | 1457 |
require that the offender be assessed by a properly credentialed | 1458 |
professional within a specified period of time. The court shall | 1459 |
require the professional to file a written assessment of the | 1460 |
offender with the court. If the offender is eligible for a | 1461 |
community control sanction and after considering the written | 1462 |
assessment, the court may impose a community control sanction that | 1463 |
includes treatment and recovery support services authorized by | 1464 |
section 3793.02 of the Revised Code. If the court imposes | 1465 |
treatment and recovery support services as a community control | 1466 |
sanction, the court shall direct the level and type of treatment | 1467 |
and recovery support services after considering the assessment and | 1468 |
recommendation of treatment and recovery support services | 1469 |
providers. | 1470 |
(F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, the | 1471 |
court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections 2929.02 | 1472 |
to 2929.06, section 2929.14, section 2929.142, or section 2971.03 | 1473 |
of the Revised Code and except as specifically provided in section | 1474 |
2929.20, divisions (C) to (I) of section 2967.19, or section | 1475 |
2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is authorized for the | 1476 |
offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised Code shall not reduce | 1477 |
the term or terms pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.19, | 1478 |
section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. or | 1479 |
Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code for any of the following | 1480 |
offenses: | 1481 |
(1) Aggravated murder when death is not imposed or murder; | 1482 |
(2) Any rape, regardless of whether force was involved and | 1483 |
regardless of the age of the victim, or an attempt to commit rape | 1484 |
if, had the offender completed the rape that was attempted, the | 1485 |
offender would have been guilty of a violation of division | 1486 |
(A)(1)(b) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and would be | 1487 |
sentenced under section 2971.03 of the Revised Code; | 1488 |
(3) Gross sexual imposition or sexual battery, if the victim | 1489 |
is less than thirteen years of age and if any of the following | 1490 |

previously was convicted of or pleaded guilty to rape, the former | 1493 |
offense of felonious sexual penetration, gross sexual imposition, | 1494 |

impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration | 1607 |
or a mandatory prison term in accordance with the following: | 1608 |
(1) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree | 1609 |
felony OVI offense and if the offender has not been convicted of | 1610 |
and has not pleaded guilty to a specification of the type | 1611 |
described in section 2941.1413 of the Revised Code, the court may | 1612 |
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration | 1613 |
of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in division | 1614 |
(G)(1)(d) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. The court shall | 1615 |
not reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.193, or any | 1616 |
other provision of the Revised Code. The court that imposes a | 1617 |
mandatory term of local incarceration under this division shall | 1618 |
specify whether the term is to be served in a jail, a | 1619 |
community-based correctional facility, a halfway house, or an | 1620 |

section is not subject to any other Revised Code provision that | 1624 |
pertains to a prison term except as provided in division (A)(1) of | 1625 |
this section. | 1626 |
(2) If the offender is being sentenced for a third degree | 1627 |
felony OVI offense, or if the offender is being sentenced for a | 1628 |
fourth degree felony OVI offense and the court does not impose a | 1629 |
mandatory term of local incarceration under division (G)(1) of | 1630 |
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory | 1631 |
prison term of one, two, three, four, or five years if the | 1632 |
offender also is convicted of or also pleads guilty to a | 1633 |
specification of the type described in section 2941.1413 of the | 1634 |
Revised Code or shall impose upon the offender a mandatory prison | 1635 |
term of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in | 1636 |
division (G)(1)(d) or (e) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code | 1637 |
if the offender has not been convicted of and has not pleaded | 1638 |
guilty to a specification of that type. Subject to divisions (C) | 1639 |
to (I) of section 2967.19 of the Revised Code, the court shall not | 1640 |
reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.19, 2967.193, or | 1641 |

the one-, two-, three-, four-, or five-year mandatory prison term | 1643 |
consecutively to and prior to the prison term imposed for the | 1644 |
underlying offense and consecutively to any other mandatory prison | 1645 |
term imposed in relation to the offense. In no case shall an | 1646 |
offender who once has been sentenced to a mandatory term of local | 1647 |
incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1) of this section for a | 1648 |
fourth degree felony OVI offense be sentenced to another mandatory | 1649 |
term of local incarceration under that division for any violation | 1650 |
of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. In | 1651 |
addition to the mandatory prison term described in division (G)(2) | 1652 |
of this section, the court may sentence the offender to a | 1653 |
community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the | 1654 |
Revised Code, but the offender shall serve the prison term prior | 1655 |
to serving the community control sanction. The department of | 1656 |
rehabilitation and correction may place an offender sentenced to a | 1657 |
mandatory prison term under this division in an intensive program | 1658 |
prison established pursuant to section 5120.033 of the Revised | 1659 |
Code if the department gave the sentencing judge prior notice of | 1660 |
its intent to place the offender in an intensive program prison | 1661 |
established under that section and if the judge did not notify the | 1662 |
department that the judge disapproved the placement. Upon the | 1663 |
establishment of the initial intensive program prison pursuant to | 1664 |
section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is privately operated | 1665 |
and managed by a contractor pursuant to a contract entered into | 1666 |
under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both of the following | 1667 |
apply: | 1668 |
(a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall | 1669 |
make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of | 1670 |
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division | 1671 |
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that | 1672 |
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy. | 1673 |
(b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full | 1674 |
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall | 1675 |
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under | 1676 |
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant | 1677 |
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately | 1678 |
operated and managed prison. | 1679 |
(H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented | 1680 |
offense or child-victim oriented offense that is a felony | 1681 |
committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall require the | 1682 |
offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection procedure pursuant | 1683 |
to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code. | 1684 |
(I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented | 1685 |
offense or a child-victim oriented offense committed on or after | 1686 |
January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a summary | 1687 |
of the offender's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, 2950.041, | 1688 |
2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and the duration of the | 1689 |
duties. The judge shall inform the offender, at the time of | 1690 |
sentencing, of those duties and of their duration. If required | 1691 |
under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, the | 1692 |
judge shall perform the duties specified in that section, or, if | 1693 |
required under division (A)(6) of section 2950.03 of the Revised | 1694 |
Code, the judge shall perform the duties specified in that | 1695 |
division. | 1696 |
(J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, | 1697 |
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation | 1698 |
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt | 1699 |
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the | 1700 |
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors | 1701 |
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section | 1702 |
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to | 1703 |
the felony category of the offense attempted. | 1704 |
(2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in | 1705 |
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an | 1706 |
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is | 1707 |
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled | 1708 |
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court | 1709 |
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that | 1710 |
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse | 1711 |
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of | 1712 |
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next | 1713 |
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in | 1714 |
the attempt. | 1715 |
(K) As used in this section, "drug abuse offense" has the | 1716 |
same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code. | 1717 |
(L) At the time of sentencing an offender for any sexually | 1718 |
oriented offense, if the offender is a tier III sex | 1719 |
offender/child-victim offender relative to that offense and the | 1720 |
offender does not serve a prison term or jail term, the court may | 1721 |
require that the offender be monitored by means of a global | 1722 |
positioning device. If the court requires such monitoring, the | 1723 |
cost of monitoring shall be borne by the offender. If the offender | 1724 |
is indigent, the cost of compliance shall be paid by the crime | 1725 |
victims reparations fund. | 1726 |

the person. | 2221 |
(B) Any person who is or was convicted of a violation of | 2222 |
section 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25 of the Revised Code may | 2223 |
apply to the sentencing court for the expungement of the record of | 2224 |
conviction if the person's participation in the offense was a | 2225 |

The person may file the application at any time. The application | 2227 |
shall do all of the following: | 2228 |
(1) Identify the applicant, the offense for which the | 2229 |
expungement is sought, the date of the conviction of that offense, | 2230 |
and the court in which the conviction occurred; | 2231 |
(2) Describe the evidence and provide copies of any | 2232 |

conviction of that offense under this section. | 2237 |
(C) The court may deny an application made under division (B) | 2238 |

grounds on which relief may be granted. | 2240 |
(D) If the court does not deny an application under division | 2241 |
(C) of this section, it shall set a date for a hearing and shall | 2242 |
notify the prosecutor for the case from which the record of | 2243 |
conviction resulted of the hearing on the application. The | 2244 |
prosecutor may object to the granting of the application by filing | 2245 |
an objection with the court prior to the date set for the hearing. | 2246 |
The prosecutor shall specify in the objection the reasons for | 2247 |
believing a denial of the application is justified. The court may | 2248 |

(F) There is a rebuttable presumption that the applicant's | 2262 |
participation in the offense that is the subject of the | 2263 |
application was the result of the applicant's having been a victim | 2264 |
of human trafficking if the applicant presents documentation to | 2265 |
that effect in the form of a police report, a court record, or an | 2266 |
affidavit from an employee of a federal, state, or local | 2267 |
government agency, a trained professional staff member of a victim | 2268 |
services organization, an attorney, a member of the clergy, or a | 2269 |
medical or other health professional from whom the applicant has | 2270 |
sought services to address the effects of having been trafficked. | 2271 |
(G) If after a hearing the court finds that the applicant has | 2272 |
demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence that the | 2273 |
applicant's participation in the offense that is the subject of | 2274 |
the application was the result of the applicant having been a | 2275 |
victim of human trafficking, the court shall grant the application | 2276 |
and order that the record of conviction be expunged. | 2277 |
(H) Upon the filing of an application under this section, the | 2278 |
applicant, unless indigent, shall pay a fee of fifty dollars. The | 2279 |

acquired from the sale shall first be used to pay the tax. All | 2318 |
other money collected under this division shall be paid into the | 2319 |
state treasury. Any beer, intoxicating liquor, or alcohol that the | 2320 |
division determines to be unfit for sale shall be destroyed. | 2321 |

enforcement agency in relation to a delinquent child proceeding in | 2366 |
a juvenile court, ten per cent of any moneys acquired from the | 2367 |
sale of property disposed of under this section shall be applied | 2368 |
to one or more alcohol and drug addiction treatment programs that | 2369 |

program anywhere in Ohio. The remaining ninety per cent of the | 2376 |
proceeds or cash shall be applied as provided in division (C) of | 2377 |
this section. | 2378 |
Each treatment program that receives in any calendar year | 2379 |
forfeited money under this division shall file an annual report | 2380 |
for that year with the attorney general and with the court of | 2381 |
common pleas and board of county commissioners of the county in | 2382 |

money. The report shall include statistics on the number of | 2387 |
persons the program served, identify the types of treatment | 2388 |
services it provided to them, and include a specific accounting of | 2389 |
the purposes for which it used the money so received. No | 2390 |
information contained in the report shall identify, or enable a | 2391 |
person to determine the identity of, any person served by the | 2392 |
program. | 2393 |
(E) Each certified alcohol and drug addiction treatment | 2394 |
program that receives in any calendar year money under this | 2395 |
section or under section 2981.13 of the Revised Code as the result | 2396 |
of a juvenile forfeiture order shall file an annual report for | 2397 |
that calendar year with the attorney general and with the court of | 2398 |
common pleas and board of county commissioners of the county in | 2399 |
which the program is located and of any other county from which | 2400 |
the program received the money. The program shall file the report | 2401 |
on or before the first day of March in the calendar year following | 2402 |
the year in which the program received the money. The report shall | 2403 |
include statistics on the number of persons served with the money, | 2404 |

As used in this division, "juvenile-related forfeiture order" | 2409 |
means any forfeiture order issued by a juvenile court under | 2410 |

a juvenile court. | 2415 |
(F) Each board of county commissioners that recognizes a | 2416 |
citizens' reward program under section 9.92 of the Revised Code | 2417 |
shall notify each law enforcement agency of that county and of a | 2418 |
township or municipal corporation wholly located in that county of | 2419 |
the recognition by filing a copy of its resolution conferring that | 2420 |
recognition with each of those agencies. When the board recognizes | 2421 |
a citizens' reward program and the county includes a part, but not | 2422 |
all, of the territory of a municipal corporation, the board shall | 2423 |
so notify the law enforcement agency of that municipal corporation | 2424 |
of the recognition of the citizens' reward program only if the | 2425 |
county contains the highest percentage of the municipal | 2426 |
corporation's population. | 2427 |
Upon being so notified, each law enforcement agency shall pay | 2428 |
twenty-five per cent of any forfeited proceeds or cash derived | 2429 |
from each sale of property disposed of pursuant to this section to | 2430 |
the citizens' reward program for use exclusively to pay rewards. | 2431 |
No part of the funds may be used to pay expenses associated with | 2432 |
the program. If a citizens' reward program that operates in more | 2433 |
than one county or in another state in addition to this state | 2434 |
receives funds under this section, the funds shall be used to pay | 2435 |
rewards only for tips and information to law enforcement agencies | 2436 |
concerning offenses committed in the county from which the funds | 2437 |
were received. | 2438 |
Receiving funds under this section or section 2981.11 of the | 2439 |
Revised Code does not make the citizens' reward program a | 2440 |
governmental unit or public office for purposes of section 149.43 | 2441 |
of the Revised Code. | 2442 |
(G) Any property forfeited under this chapter shall not be | 2443 |
used to pay any fine imposed upon a person who is convicted of or | 2444 |
pleads guilty to an underlying criminal offense or a different | 2445 |
offense arising out of the same facts and circumstances. | 2446 |
(H) Any moneys acquired from the sale of property seized in | 2447 |
connection with trafficking in persons and disposed of pursuant to | 2448 |
this section shall be placed in the victims of human trafficking | 2449 |
fund created by section 5101.87 of the Revised Code. | 2450 |
