all or part of the economic loss of the claimant from a collateral	448
source, the amount of the award or the denial of the claim shall	449
be conditioned upon the claimant's economic loss being recouped by	450
the collateral source. If the award or denial is conditioned upon	451
the recoupment of the claimant's economic loss from a collateral	452
source and it is determined that the claimant did not unreasonably	453
fail to present a timely claim to the collateral source and will	454
not receive all or part of the expected recoupment, the claim may	455
be reopened and an award may be made in an amount equal to the	456
amount of expected recoupment that it is determined the claimant	457
will not receive from the collateral source.	458

If the claimant recoups all or part of the economic loss upon	459
which the claim is based from any other person or entity,	460
including a collateral source, the attorney general may recover	461
pursuant to section 2743.72 of the Revised Code the part of the	462
award that represents the economic loss for which the claimant	463
received the recoupment from the other person or entity.	464

(E)(1) Except as otherwise provided in division (E)(2) of	465
this section, the attorney general or the court of claims shall	466
not make an award to a claimant if any of the following applies:	467

(a) The victim was convicted of a felony within ten years	468
prior to the criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the	469
claim or is convicted of a felony during the pendency of the	470
claim.	471

(b) The claimant was convicted of a felony within ten years	472
prior to the criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the	473
claim or is convicted of a felony during the pendency of the	474
claim.	475

(c) It is proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the	476
victim or the claimant engaged, within ten years prior to the	477
criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the claim or during	478
the pendency of the claim, in an offense of violence, a violation	479
of section 2925.03 of the Revised Code, or any substantially	480
similar offense that also would constitute a felony under the laws	481
of this state, another state, or the United States.	482

(d) The claimant was convicted of a violation of section	483
2919.22 or 2919.25 of the Revised Code, or of any state law or	484
municipal ordinance substantially similar to either section,	485
within ten years prior to the criminally injurious conduct that	486
gave rise to the claim or during the pendency of the claim.	487

(e) It is proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the	488
victim at the time of the criminally injurious conduct that gave	489
rise to the claim engaged in conduct that was a felony violation	490
of section 2925.11 of the Revised Code or engaged in any	491
substantially similar conduct that would constitute a felony under	492
the laws of this state, another state, or the United States.	493

(2) The attorney general or the court of claims may make an	494
award to a minor dependent of a deceased victim for dependent's	495
economic loss or for counseling pursuant to division (F)(2) of	496
section 2743.51 of the Revised Code if the minor dependent is not	497
ineligible under division (E)(1) of this section due to the minor	498
dependent's criminal history and if the victim was not killed	499
while engaging in illegal conduct that contributed to the	500
criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the claim. For	501
purposes of this section, the use of illegal drugs by the deceased	502
victim shall not be deemed to have contributed to the criminally	503
injurious conduct that gave rise to the claim.	504

(F) In determining whether to make an award of reparations	505
pursuant to this section, the attorney general or the court of	506
claims shall consider whether there was contributory misconduct by	507
the victim or the claimant. The attorney general or the court of	508
claims shall reduce an award of reparations or deny a claim for an	509
award of reparations to the extent it is determined to be	510
reasonable because of the contributory misconduct of the claimant	511
or the victim.	512

When the attorney general decides whether a claim should be	513
denied because of an allegation of contributory misconduct, the	514
burden of proof on the issue of that alleged contributory	515
misconduct shall be upon the claimant, if either of the following	516
apply:	517

(1) The victim was convicted of a felony more than ten years	518
prior to the criminally injurious conduct that is the subject of	519
the claim or has a record of felony arrests under the laws of this	520
state, another state, or the United States.	521

(2) There is good cause to believe that the victim engaged in	522
an ongoing course of criminal conduct within five years or less of	523
the criminally injurious conduct that is the subject of the claim.	524

(G) The attorney general or the court of claims shall not	525
make an award of reparations to a claimant if the criminally	526
injurious conduct that caused the injury or death that is the	527
subject of the claim occurred to a victim who was an adult and	528
while the victim, after being convicted of or pleading guilty to	529
an offense, was serving a sentence of imprisonment in any	530
detention facility, as defined in section 2921.01 of the Revised	531
Code.	532

(H) If a claimant unreasonably fails to present a claim	533
timely to a source of benefits or advantages that would have been	534
a collateral source and that would have reimbursed the claimant	535
for all or a portion of a particular expense, the attorney general	536
or the court of claims may reduce an award of reparations or deny	537
a claim for an award of reparations to the extent that it is	538
reasonable to do so.	539

(I)(1) Reparations payable to a victim and to all other	540
claimants sustaining economic loss because of injury to or the	541
death of that victim shall not exceed fifty thousand dollars in	542
the aggregate. If the attorney general or the court of claims	543
reduces an award under division (F) of this section, the maximum	544
aggregate amount of reparations payable under this division shall	545
be reduced proportionately to the reduction under division (F) of	546
this section.	547

(2) After a victim exhausts the maximum allowable award	548
amount under division (I)(1) of this section, a claimant may apply	549
for catastrophic disability compensation for catastrophic	550
disabling harm sustained by the victim as a result of criminally	551
injurious conduct that gave rise to the claim pursuant to section	552
2743.611 of the Revised Code.	553

(J) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit an	554
award to a claimant whose claim is based on the claimant's being a	555
victim of a violation of section 2905.32 of the Revised Code if	556
the claimant was less than eighteen years of age when the	557
criminally injurious conduct occurred.	558

Sec. 2743.611. (A) Notwithstanding any award payable under	559
division (I) of section 2743.60 of the Revised Code, the attorney	560
general may award additional reparations to a claimant if a victim	561
suffers catastrophic disabling harm as a result of the injury	562
sustained from the criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to	563
the claim.	564

(B) The attorney general shall adopt rules under Chapter 119.	565
of the Revised Code that establish criteria for finding victims to	566
be eligible to receive catastrophic disability compensation under	567
this section.	568

(C)(1) The decision of the attorney general that the victim	569
is eligible for catastrophic disability compensation under this	570
section allows the claimant to be eligible for reparations of up	571
to ten thousand dollars per year. The year begins on the date the	572
attorney general issues the decision finding that the victim is	573
eligible for catastrophic disability compensation.	574

(2) The amount of the reparations under division (C)(1) of	575
this section is limited to reimbursement for reasonably necessary	576
medical products, medical services, and accommodations for medical	577
care and treatment for the catastrophic disabling harm suffered by	578
the victim.	579

(D) A victim shall exhaust the maximum allowable award amount	580
under division (I)(1) of section 2743.60 of the Revised Code	581
before the victim may apply for catastrophic disability	582
compensation. If the victim fails to exhaust the maximum allowable	583
award amount under division (I)(1) of section 2743.60 of the	584
Revised Code because a supplemental reparations application was	585
not filed within the time limit provided in section 2743.68 of the	586
Revised Code, the attorney general, for good cause shown, may	587
waive the time limit provided in that section to allow for an	588
application for a supplemental award to be made and the	589
supplemental award to be issued.	590

(E)(1) After a victim exhausts the maximum allowable award	591
amount under division (I)(1) of section 2743.60 of the Revised	592
Code, a claimant may apply for catastrophic disability	593
compensation. Upon receiving the application, the attorney general	594
shall determine whether the victim is eligible for an award of	595
catastrophic disability compensation based on the criteria for	596
eligibility in the rules adopted by the attorney general under	597
division (B) of this section.	598

(2) For the purpose of determining whether a victim is	599
eligible for catastrophic disability compensation, the attorney	600
general shall fully investigate the victim's injury resulting from	601
the criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the claim to	602
determine if the victim suffered catastrophic disabling harm.	603
Throughout the investigation under this division, the attorney	604
general may utilize any investigative authority provided in	605
section 2743.59 of the Revised Code.	606

(3) Within ninety days after receiving the application under	607
division (E)(1) of this section, the attorney general shall issue	608
a decision that finds that the victim is either eligible, or not	609
eligible, for catastrophic disability compensation. The attorney	610
general may extend the ninety-day period under this division and,	611
if the period is so extended, shall notify the claimant in writing	612
of the extension and the specific reason for the extension.	613

(4) The decision of the attorney general under division	614
(E)(3) of this section shall be in writing and served upon the	615
claimant by certified mail to the claimant's residence, return	616
receipt requested. The decision shall contain both of the	617
following:	618

(a) A statement of the finding of whether the victim is	619
eligible, or not eligible, for catastrophic disability	620
compensation;	621

(b) A summary stating the nature of the victim's injury and	622
how the injury is related to the criminally injurious conduct that	623
gave rise to the claim.	624

(F)(1) If the decision of the attorney general under division	625
(E)(4) of this section is that the victim is eligible for	626
catastrophic disability compensation, the claimant may submit to	627
the attorney general any documentation and other evidence of	628
necessary medical products, medical services, and accommodations	629
for medical care and treatment for the catastrophic disabling harm	630
suffered by the victim.	631

(2) The decision of the attorney general that the victim is	632
eligible for catastrophic disability compensation is valid for one	633
year after the date of the decision unless the attorney general	634
determines, within that one-year period, that the victim is no	635
longer suffering from the catastrophic disabling harm sustained	636
from the criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the claim.	637

(G)(1) After the decision of the attorney general that the	638
victim is eligible for catastrophic disability compensation	639
expires under division (F)(2) of this section, the claimant may	640
apply for supplemental catastrophic disability compensation. The	641
attorney general shall determine the victim's eligibility for	642
supplemental catastrophic disability compensation in the same	643
manner as the attorney general determines the application for	644
catastrophic disability compensation under division (E) of this	645
section.	646

(2) The claimant may continue to apply for supplemental	647
catastrophic disability compensation for as long as the victim is	648
suffering from the catastrophic disabling harm sustained from the	649
criminally injurious conduct that gave rise to the claim. The	650
amount of the reparations for supplemental catastrophic disability	651
compensation shall not exceed ten thousand dollars in any	652
twelve-month period following the attorney general's most recent	653
determination that the victim is eligible for supplemental	654
catastrophic disability compensation.	655

(3) The amount of the reparations under division (G)(2) of	656
this section is limited to reimbursement for reasonably necessary	657
medical products, medical services, and accommodations for medical	658
care and treatment for the catastrophic disabling harm suffered by	659
the victim.	660

(H)(1) If the attorney general denies the application under	661
division (E) of this section upon a finding that the victim is not	662
eligible for catastrophic disability compensation, the claimant	663
may request a hearing within thirty days of the denial of the	664
application. The attorney general shall schedule a hearing within	665
thirty days of the claimant's request.	666

(2) The attorney general shall appoint a hearing officer to	667
conduct the hearing under division (H)(1) of this section. An	668
administrative hearing conducted under that division is not	669
subject to section 121.22 of the Revised Code.	670

(3) The hearing officer shall issue its recommendations to	671
the attorney general within ten days after the date the hearing	672
concludes. The attorney general shall issue a decision within ten	673
days after receiving the hearing officer's recommendations. The	674
decision of the attorney general is final, and shall be served on	675
the claimant by certified mail to the claimant's residence, return	676
receipt requested.	677

(4) If the decision of the attorney general under division	678
(H)(3) of this section is that the victim is eligible for	679
catastrophic disability compensation, divisions (E) to (G) of this	680
section apply.	681

Sec. 2743.65.  (A) The attorney general shall determine, and	682
the state shall pay, in accordance with this section attorney's	683
fees, commensurate with services rendered, to the attorney	684
representing a claimant under sections 2743.51 to 2743.72 of the	685
Revised Code. The attorney shall submit on an application form an	686
itemized fee bill at the rate of sixty dollars per hour upon	687
receipt of the final decision on the claim. Attorney's fees paid	688
pursuant to this section are subject to the following maximum	689
amounts:	690

(1) A maximum of seven hundred twenty dollars for claims	691
resolved without the filing of an appeal to the court of claims;	692

(2) A maximum of one thousand twenty dollars for claims in	693
which an appeal to the court of claims is filed plus, at the	694
request of an attorney whose main office is not in Franklin	695
county, Delaware county, Licking county, Fairfield county,	696
Pickaway county, Madison county, or Union county, an amount for	697
the attorney's travel time to attend the oral hearing before the	698
court of claims at the rate of thirty dollars per hour;	699

(3) A maximum of one thousand three hundred twenty dollars	700
for claims in which an appeal to the court of claims is filed	701
plus, at the request of an attorney whose main office is not in	702
Franklin county, Delaware county, Licking county, Fairfield	703
county, Pickaway county, Madison county, or Union county, an	704
amount for the attorney's travel time to attend the oral hearing	705
before the court at the rate of thirty dollars per hour;	706

(4) A maximum of seven hundred twenty dollars for a	707
supplemental reparations application;	708

(5)(4) A maximum of two hundred dollars if the claim is	709
denied on the basis of a claimant's or victim's conviction of a	710
felony offense prior to the filing of the claim. If the claimant	711
or victim is convicted of a felony offense during the pendency of	712
the claim, the two hundred dollars maximum does not apply. If the	713
attorney had knowledge of the claimant's or victim's felony	714
conviction prior to the filing of the application for the claim,	715
the attorney general may determine that the filing of the claim	716
was frivolous and may deny attorney's fees;	717

(5) A maximum of two hundred fifty dollars for submitting an	718
application for catastrophic disability compensation if the	719
application results in the issuance of an award;	720

(6) A maximum of two hundred fifty dollars for an application	721
for catastrophic disability compensation in which an	722
administrative hearing is requested and held pursuant to division	723
(H) of section 2743.611 of the Revised Code and the decision of	724
the attorney general is that an award will be issued.	725

(B) The attorney general may determine that an attorney be	726
reimbursed for fees incurred in the creation of a guardianship if	727
the guardianship is required in order for an individual to receive	728
an award of reparations, and those fees shall be reimbursed at a	729
rate of sixty dollars per hour.	730

(C)(1) The attorney general shall forward an application form	731
for attorney's fees to a claimant's attorney before or when the	732
final decision on a claim is rendered. The application form for	733
attorney's fees shall do all of the following:	734

(a) Inform the attorney of the requirements of this section;

735

(b) Require a verification statement comporting with the law	736
prohibiting falsification;	737

(c) Require an itemized fee statement;

738

(d) Require a verification statement that the claimant was	739
served a copy of the completed application form;	740

(e) Include notice that the claimant may oppose the	741
application by notifying the attorney general in writing within	742
ten days.	743

(2) The attorney general shall forward a copy of this section	744
to the attorney with the application form for attorney's fees. The	745
attorney shall file the application form with the attorney	746
general. The attorney general's decision with respect to an award	747
of attorney's fees is final ten days after the attorney general	748
renders the decision and mails a copy of the decision to the	749
attorney at the address provided by the attorney. The attorney may	750
request reconsideration of the decision on grounds that it is	751
insufficient or calculated incorrectly. The attorney general's	752
decision on the request for reconsideration is final.	753

(D) The attorney general shall review all application forms	754
for attorney's fees that are submitted by a claimant's attorney	755
and shall issue an order approving the amount of fees to be paid	756
to the attorney within sixty days after receipt of the application	757
form.	758

(E) No attorney's fees shall be paid for the following:

759

(1) Estate work or representation of a claimant against a	760
collateral source;	761

(2) Duplication of investigative work required to be	762
performed by the attorney general;	763

(3) Performance of unnecessary criminal investigation of the	764
offense;	765

(4) Presenting or appealing an issue that has been repeatedly	766
ruled upon by the highest appellate authority, unless a unique set	767
of facts or unique issue of law exists that distinguishes it;	768

(5) A fee request that is unreasonable, is not commensurate	769
with services rendered, violates the Ohio code of professional	770
responsibility, or is based upon services that are determined to	771
be frivolous.	772

(F)(1) The attorney general may reduce or deny the payment of	773
attorney's fees to an attorney who has filed a frivolous claim.	774
Subject to division (A)(5) of this section, the denial of a claim	775
on the basis of a felony conviction, felony conduct, or	776
contributory misconduct does not constitute a frivolous claim.	777

(2) As used in this section, "frivolous claim" means a claim	778
in which there is clearly no legal grounds under the existing laws	779
of this state to support the filing of a claim on behalf of the	780
claimant or victim.	781

(G) The attorney general may determine that a lesser number	782
of hours should have been required in a given case. Additional	783
reimbursement may be made where the attorney demonstrates to the	784
attorney general that the nature of the particular claim required	785
the expenditure of an amount in excess of that allowed.	786

(H) No attorney shall receive payment under this section for	787
assisting a claimant with an application for an award of	788
reparations under sections 2743.51 to 2743.72 of the Revised Code	789
if that attorney's fees have been allowed as an expense in	790
accordance with division (F)(4) of section 2743.51 of the Revised	791
Code.	792

(I) A contract or other agreement between an attorney and any	793
person that provides for the payment of attorney's fees or other	794
payments in excess of the attorney's fees allowed under this	795
section for representing a claimant under sections 2743.51 to	796
2743.72 of the Revised Code shall be void and unenforceable.	797

(J) Each witness who appears in a hearing on a claim for an	798
award of reparations shall receive compensation in an amount equal	799
to that received by witnesses under section 119.094 of the Revised	800
Code.	801

(K) If a claimant challenges the attorney general's final	802
decision under section 2743.611 of the Revised Code that a victim	803
is not eligible for catastrophic disability compensation by	804
initiating a mandamus action in the court of common pleas and the	805
action results in an award for catastrophic disability	806
compensation being issued to the claimant, the attorney general	807
shall pay the claimant's reasonable attorney's fees and court	808
costs. Any attorney's fees and court costs paid under this	809
division shall be construed as remedial and not punitive.	810

(viii) The offender held a public office or position of	1317
trust, and the offense related to that office or position; the	1318
offender's position obliged the offender to prevent the offense or	1319
to bring those committing it to justice; or the offender's	1320
professional reputation or position facilitated the offense or was	1321
likely to influence the future conduct of others.	1322

(ix) The offender committed the offense for hire or as part	1323
of an organized criminal activity.	1324

(x) The offender at the time of the offense was serving, or	1325
the offender previously had served, a prison term.	1326

(xi) The offender committed the offense while under a	1327
community control sanction, while on probation, or while released	1328
from custody on a bond or personal recognizance.	1329

(c) If a court that is sentencing an offender who is	1330
convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony of the fourth or fifth	1331
degree that is not an offense of violence or that is a qualifying	1332
assault offense believes that no community control sanctions are	1333
available for its use that, if imposed on the offender, will	1334
adequately fulfill the overriding principles and purposes of	1335
sentencing, the court shall contact the department of	1336
rehabilitation and correction and ask the department to provide	1337
the court with the names of, contact information for, and program	1338
details of one or more community control sanctions of at least one	1339
year's duration that are available for persons sentenced by the	1340
court. Not later than forty-five days after receipt of a request	1341
from a court under this division, the department shall provide the	1342
court with the names of, contact information for, and program	1343
details of one or more community control sanctions of at least one	1344
year's duration that are available for persons sentenced by the	1345
court, if any. Upon making a request under this division that	1346
relates to a particular offender, a court shall defer sentencing	1347
of that offender until it receives from the department the names	1348
of, contact information for, and program details of one or more	1349
community control sanctions of at least one year's duration that	1350
are available for persons sentenced by the court or for forty-five	1351
days, whichever is the earlier.	1352

If the department provides the court with the names of,	1353
contact information for, and program details of one or more	1354
community control sanctions of at least one year's duration that	1355
are available for persons sentenced by the court within the	1356
forty-five-day period specified in this division, the court shall	1357
impose upon the offender a community control sanction under	1358
division (B)(1)(a) of this section, except that the court may	1359
impose a prison term under division (B)(1)(b) of this section if a	1360
factor described in division (B)(1)(b)(i) or (ii) of this section	1361
applies. If the department does not provide the court with the	1362
names of, contact information for, and program details of one or	1363
more community control sanctions of at least one year's duration	1364
that are available for persons sentenced by the court within the	1365
forty-five-day period specified in this division, the court may	1366
impose upon the offender a prison term under division	1367
(B)(1)(b)(iv) of this section.	1368

(d) A sentencing court may impose an additional penalty under	1369
division (B) of section 2929.15 of the Revised Code upon an	1370
offender sentenced to a community control sanction under division	1371
(B)(1)(a) of this section if the offender violates the conditions	1372
of the community control sanction, violates a law, or leaves the	1373
state without the permission of the court or the offender's	1374
probation officer.	1375

(2) If division (B)(1) of this section does not apply, except	1376
as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this section, in	1377
determining whether to impose a prison term as a sanction for a	1378
felony of the fourth or fifth degree, the sentencing court shall	1379
comply with the purposes and principles of sentencing under	1380
section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of	1381
the Revised Code.	1382

(C) Except as provided in division (D), (E), (F), or (G) of	1383
this section, in determining whether to impose a prison term as a	1384
sanction for a felony of the third degree or a felony drug offense	1385
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised	1386
Code and that is specified as being subject to this division for	1387
purposes of sentencing, the sentencing court shall comply with the	1388
purposes and principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the	1389
Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of the Revised Code.	1390

(D)(1) Except as provided in division (E) or (F) of this	1391
section, for a felony of the first or second degree, for a felony	1392
drug offense that is a violation of any provision of Chapter	1393
2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption	1394
in favor of a prison term is specified as being applicable, and	1395
for a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of section 2907.05 of	1396
the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a prison term	1397
is specified as being applicable, it is presumed that a prison	1398
term is necessary in order to comply with the purposes and	1399
principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the Revised	1400
Code. Division (D)(2) of this section does not apply to a	1401
presumption established under this division for a violation of	1402
division (A)(4) of section 2907.05 of the Revised Code.	1403

(2) Notwithstanding the presumption established under	1404
division (D)(1) of this section for the offenses listed in that	1405
division other than a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of	1406
section 2907.05 of the Revised Code, the sentencing court may	1407
impose a community control sanction or a combination of community	1408
control sanctions instead of a prison term on an offender for a	1409
felony of the first or second degree or for a felony drug offense	1410
that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 2925., 3719., or	1411
4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a	1412
prison term is specified as being applicable if it makes both of	1413
the following findings:	1414

(a) A community control sanction or a combination of	1415
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender	1416
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable	1417
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a	1418
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors	1419
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.	1420

(b) A community control sanction or a combination of	1421
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of	1422
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of	1423
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was	1424
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are	1425
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that	1426
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious	1427
than conduct normally constituting the offense.	1428

(E)(1) Except as provided in division (F) of this section,	1429
for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of	1430
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the	1431
third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of a presumption	1432
under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of	1433
division (B) or (C) of this section in determining whether to	1434
impose a prison term for the offense shall be determined as	1435
specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06,	1436
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 2925.37 of the	1437
Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation.	1438

(2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to	1439
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction	1440
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive	1441
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation	1442
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned	1443
unless the court determines on the record either of the following:	1444

(a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the	1445
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug	1446
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program,	1447
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable	1448
period of participation in the program.	1449

(b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is	1450
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set	1451
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code.	1452

(3) A court that sentences an offender for a drug abuse	1453
offense that is a felony of the third, fourth, or fifth degree may	1454
require that the offender be assessed by a properly credentialed	1455
professional within a specified period of time. The court shall	1456
require the professional to file a written assessment of the	1457
offender with the court. If the offender is eligible for a	1458
community control sanction and after considering the written	1459
assessment, the court may impose a community control sanction that	1460
includes treatment and recovery support services authorized by	1461
section 3793.02 of the Revised Code. If the court imposes	1462
treatment and recovery support services as a community control	1463
sanction, the court shall direct the level and type of treatment	1464
and recovery support services after considering the assessment and	1465
recommendation of treatment and recovery support services	1466
providers.	1467

(F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, the	1468
court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections 2929.02	1469
to 2929.06, section 2929.14, section 2929.142, or section 2971.03	1470
of the Revised Code and except as specifically provided in section	1471
2929.20, divisions (C) to (I) of section 2967.19, or section	1472
2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is authorized for the	1473
offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised Code shall not reduce	1474
the term or terms pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.19,	1475
section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. or	1476
Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code for any of the following	1477
offenses:	1478

(1) Aggravated murder when death is not imposed or murder;

1479

(2) Any rape, regardless of whether force was involved and	1480
regardless of the age of the victim, or an attempt to commit rape	1481
if, had the offender completed the rape that was attempted, the	1482
offender would have been guilty of a violation of division	1483
(A)(1)(b) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and would be	1484
sentenced under section 2971.03 of the Revised Code;	1485

(3) Gross sexual imposition or sexual battery, if the victim	1486
is less than thirteen years of age and if any of the following	1487

offense of felonious sexual penetration, gross sexual imposition,	1491
or sexual battery, and the victim of the previous offense was less	1492
than thirteen years of age;	1493

(b) Regarding gross sexual imposition, the offense was	1494
committed on or after August 3, 2006, and evidence other than the	1495
testimony of the victim was admitted in the case corroborating the	1496
violation.	1497

(c) Regarding sexual battery, either of the following	1498
applies:	1499

(i) The offense was committed prior to August 3, 2006, the	1500
offender previously was convicted of or pleaded guilty to rape,	1501
the former offense of felonious sexual penetration, or sexual	1502

if the section requires the imposition of a prison term;	1508

(5) A first, second, or third degree felony drug offense for	1509
which section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06,	1510
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, 2925.37, 3719.99, or	1511
4729.99 of the Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the	1512
violation, requires the imposition of a mandatory prison term;	1513

(6) Any offense that is a first or second degree felony and	1514
that is not set forth in division (F)(1), (2), (3), or (4) of this	1515
section, if the offender previously was convicted of or pleaded	1516
guilty to aggravated murder, murder, any first or second degree	1517
felony, or an offense under an existing or former law of this	1518
state, another state, or the United States that is or was	1519
substantially equivalent to one of those offenses;	1520

(7) Any offense that is a third degree felony and either is a	1521

(G) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, if	1606
an offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony OVI	1607
offense or for a third degree felony OVI offense, the court shall	1608
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration	1609
or a mandatory prison term in accordance with the following:	1610

(1) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree	1611
felony OVI offense and if the offender has not been convicted of	1612
and has not pleaded guilty to a specification of the type	1613
described in section 2941.1413 of the Revised Code, the court may	1614
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration	1615
of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in division	1616
(G)(1)(d) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. The court shall	1617
not reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.193, or any	1618
other provision of the Revised Code. The court that imposes a	1619
mandatory term of local incarceration under this division shall	1620
specify whether the term is to be served in a jail, a	1621
community-based correctional facility, a halfway house, or an	1622
alternative residential facility, and the offender shall serve the	1623
term in the type of facility specified by the court. A mandatory	1624
term of local incarceration imposed under division (G)(1) of this	1625
section is not subject to any other Revised Code provision that	1626
pertains to a prison term except as provided in division (A)(1) of	1627
this section.	1628

(2) If the offender is being sentenced for a third degree	1629
felony OVI offense, or if the offender is being sentenced for a	1630
fourth degree felony OVI offense and the court does not impose a	1631
mandatory term of local incarceration under division (G)(1) of	1632
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory	1633
prison term of one, two, three, four, or five years if the	1634
offender also is convicted of or also pleads guilty to a	1635
specification of the type described in section 2941.1413 of the	1636
Revised Code or shall impose upon the offender a mandatory prison	1637
term of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in	1638
division (G)(1)(d) or (e) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code	1639
if the offender has not been convicted of and has not pleaded	1640
guilty to a specification of that type. Subject to divisions (C)	1641
to (I) of section 2967.19 of the Revised Code, the court shall not	1642
reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.19, 2967.193, or	1643
any other provision of the Revised Code. The offender shall serve	1644
the one-, two-, three-, four-, or five-year mandatory prison term	1645
consecutively to and prior to the prison term imposed for the	1646
underlying offense and consecutively to any other mandatory prison	1647
term imposed in relation to the offense. In no case shall an	1648
offender who once has been sentenced to a mandatory term of local	1649
incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1) of this section for a	1650
fourth degree felony OVI offense be sentenced to another mandatory	1651
term of local incarceration under that division for any violation	1652
of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. In	1653
addition to the mandatory prison term described in division (G)(2)	1654
of this section, the court may sentence the offender to a	1655
community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the	1656
Revised Code, but the offender shall serve the prison term prior	1657
to serving the community control sanction. The department of	1658
rehabilitation and correction may place an offender sentenced to a	1659
mandatory prison term under this division in an intensive program	1660
prison established pursuant to section 5120.033 of the Revised	1661
Code if the department gave the sentencing judge prior notice of	1662
its intent to place the offender in an intensive program prison	1663
established under that section and if the judge did not notify the	1664
department that the judge disapproved the placement. Upon the	1665
establishment of the initial intensive program prison pursuant to	1666
section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is privately operated	1667
and managed by a contractor pursuant to a contract entered into	1668
under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both of the following	1669
apply:	1670

(a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall	1671
make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of	1672
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division	1673
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that	1674
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.	1675

(b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full	1676
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall	1677
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under	1678
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant	1679
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately	1680
operated and managed prison.	1681

(H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented	1682
offense or child-victim oriented offense that is a felony	1683
committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall require the	1684
offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection procedure pursuant	1685
to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code.	1686

(I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented	1687
offense or a child-victim oriented offense committed on or after	1688
January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a summary	1689
of the offender's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, 2950.041,	1690
2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and the duration of the	1691
duties. The judge shall inform the offender, at the time of	1692
sentencing, of those duties and of their duration. If required	1693
under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, the	1694
judge shall perform the duties specified in that section, or, if	1695
required under division (A)(6) of section 2950.03 of the Revised	1696
Code, the judge shall perform the duties specified in that	1697
division.	1698

(J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section,	1699
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation	1700
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt	1701
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the	1702
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors	1703
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section	1704
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to	1705
the felony category of the offense attempted.	1706

(2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in	1707
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an	1708
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is	1709
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled	1710
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court	1711
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that	1712
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse	1713
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of	1714
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next	1715
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in	1716
the attempt.	1717

(K) As used in this section:

1718

(1) "Drug abuse offense" has the same meaning as in section	1719
2925.01 of the Revised Code.	1720

(2) "Qualifying assault offense" means a violation of section	1721
2903.13 of the Revised Code for which the penalty provision in	1722
division (C)(8)(b) or (C)(9)(b) of that section applies.	1723

(L) At the time of sentencing an offender for any sexually	1724
oriented offense, if the offender is a tier III sex	1725
offender/child-victim offender relative to that offense and the	1726
offender does not serve a prison term or jail term, the court may	1727
require that the offender be monitored by means of a global	1728
positioning device. If the court requires such monitoring, the	1729
cost of monitoring shall be borne by the offender. If the offender	1730
is indigent, the cost of compliance shall be paid by the crime	1731
victims reparations fund.	1732

section 2919.25 of the Revised Code and except in relation to an	1736
offense for which a sentence of death or life imprisonment is to	1737
be imposed, if the court imposing a sentence upon an offender for	1738

Revised Code or that is a violation of section 2911.02 or 2911.12	1749
of the Revised Code if the offender previously has been convicted	1750
of or pleaded guilty in two or more separate proceedings to two or	1751
more violations of section 2911.01, 2911.02, 2911.11, or 2911.12	1752

committed as part of the same act or transaction. If a court	1815
imposes an additional prison term on an offender under division	1816
(B)(1)(c) of this section relative to an offense, the court also	1817
shall impose a prison term under division (B)(1)(a) of this	1818
section relative to the same offense, provided the criteria	1819
specified in that division for imposing an additional prison term	1820

specification of the type described under division (B)(1)(f) of	1876
this section in connection with two or more of the felonies of	1877
which the offender is convicted or to which the offender pleads	1878
guilty, the sentencing court shall impose on the offender the	1879
prison term specified under division (B)(1)(f) of this section for	1880
each of two of the specifications of which the offender is	1881
convicted or to which the offender pleads guilty and, in its	1882
discretion, also may impose on the offender the prison term	1883
specified under that division for any or all of the remaining	1884
specifications. If a court imposes an additional prison term on an	1885
offender under division (B)(1)(f) of this section relative to an	1886
offense, the court shall not impose a prison term under division	1887
(B)(1)(a) or (c) of this section relative to the same offense.	1888

(g) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to two or	1889
more felonies, if one or more of those felonies are aggravated	1890
murder, murder, attempted aggravated murder, attempted murder,	1891
aggravated robbery, felonious assault, or rape, and if the	1892
offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification of	1893
the type described under division (B)(1)(a) of this section in	1894
connection with two or more of the felonies, the sentencing court	1895
shall impose on the offender the prison term specified under	1896
division (B)(1)(a) of this section for each of the two most	1897
serious specifications of which the offender is convicted or to	1898

impose on the offender the prison term specified under that	1900
division for any or all of the remaining specifications.	1901

(2)(a) If division (B)(2)(b) of this section does not apply,	1902
the court may impose on an offender, in addition to the longest	1903
prison term authorized or required for the offense, an additional	1904
definite prison term of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,	1905
eight, nine, or ten years if all of the following criteria are	1906
met:	1907

(i) The offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	1908
specification of the type described in section 2941.149 of the	1909
Revised Code that the offender is a repeat violent offender.	1910

(ii) The offense of which the offender currently is convicted	1911
or to which the offender currently pleads guilty is aggravated	1912

imprisonment without parole, murder, terrorism and the court does	1914
not impose a sentence of life imprisonment without parole, any	1915
felony of the first degree that is an offense of violence and the	1916
court does not impose a sentence of life imprisonment without	1917
parole, or any felony of the second degree that is an offense of	1918

offense that is not life imprisonment without parole.	1923

(iv) The court finds that the prison terms imposed pursuant	1924
to division (B)(2)(a)(iii) of this section and, if applicable,	1925
division (B)(1) or (3) of this section are inadequate to punish	1926
the offender and protect the public from future crime, because the	1927
applicable factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code	1928
indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism outweigh the	1929
applicable factors under that section indicating a lesser	1930
likelihood of recidivism.	1931

(v) The court finds that the prison terms imposed pursuant to	1932
division (B)(2)(a)(iii) of this section and, if applicable,	1933
division (B)(1) or (3) of this section are demeaning to the	1934
seriousness of the offense, because one or more of the factors	1935
under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating that the	1936
offender's conduct is more serious than conduct normally	1937
constituting the offense are present, and they outweigh the	1938
applicable factors under that section indicating that the	1939
offender's conduct is less serious than conduct normally	1940
constituting the offense.	1941

(b) The court shall impose on an offender the longest prison	1942
term authorized or required for the offense and shall impose on	1943
the offender an additional definite prison term of one, two,	1944
three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years if all of	1945
the following criteria are met:	1946

(i) The offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	1947
specification of the type described in section 2941.149 of the	1948
Revised Code that the offender is a repeat violent offender.	1949

(ii) The offender within the preceding twenty years has been	1950
convicted of or pleaded guilty to three or more offenses described	1951

offender is convicted or to which the offender pleads guilty in	1954
the current prosecution and all offenses described in that	1955
division of which the offender previously has been convicted or to	1956
which the offender previously pleaded guilty, whether prosecuted	1957
together or separately.	1958

(iii) The offense or offenses of which the offender currently	1959
is convicted or to which the offender currently pleads guilty is	1960
aggravated murder and the court does not impose a sentence of	1961
death or life imprisonment without parole, murder, terrorism and	1962
the court does not impose a sentence of life imprisonment without	1963
parole, any felony of the first degree that is an offense of	1964
violence and the court does not impose a sentence of life	1965
imprisonment without parole, or any felony of the second degree	1966
that is an offense of violence and the trier of fact finds that	1967
the offense involved an attempt to cause or a threat to cause	1968
serious physical harm to a person or resulted in serious physical	1969
harm to a person.	1970

(c) For purposes of division (B)(2)(b) of this section, two	1971
or more offenses committed at the same time or as part of the same	1972
act or event shall be considered one offense, and that one offense	1973
shall be the offense with the greatest penalty.	1974

(d) A sentence imposed under division (B)(2)(a) or (b) of	1975
this section shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20,	1976
section 2967.19, or section 2967.193, or any other provision of	1977
Chapter 2967. or Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. The offender	1978
shall serve an additional prison term imposed under this section	1979
consecutively to and prior to the prison term imposed for the	1980
underlying offense.	1981

(e) When imposing a sentence pursuant to division (B)(2)(a)	1982
or (b) of this section, the court shall state its findings	1983
explaining the imposed sentence.	1984

(3) Except when an offender commits a violation of section	1985
2903.01 or 2907.02 of the Revised Code and the penalty imposed for	1986
the violation is life imprisonment or commits a violation of	1987
section 2903.02 of the Revised Code, if the offender commits a	1988
violation of section 2925.03 or 2925.11 of the Revised Code and	1989
that section classifies the offender as a major drug offender, if	1990
the offender commits a felony violation of section 2925.02,	1991
2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.36, 3719.07, 3719.08, 3719.16, 3719.161,	1992
4729.37, or 4729.61, division (C) or (D) of section 3719.172,	1993
division (C) of section 4729.51, or division (J) of section	1994
4729.54 of the Revised Code that includes the sale, offer to sell,	1995
or possession of a schedule I or II controlled substance, with the	1996
exception of marihuana, and the court imposing sentence upon the	1997
offender finds that the offender is guilty of a specification of	1998
the type described in section 2941.1410 of the Revised Code	1999
charging that the offender is a major drug offender, if the court	2000
imposing sentence upon an offender for a felony finds that the	2001
offender is guilty of corrupt activity with the most serious	2002
offense in the pattern of corrupt activity being a felony of the	2003
first degree, or if the offender is guilty of an attempted	2004
violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and, had the	2005
offender completed the violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised	2006
Code that was attempted, the offender would have been subject to a	2007
sentence of life imprisonment or life imprisonment without parole	2008
for the violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code, the	2009
court shall impose upon the offender for the felony violation a	2010
mandatory prison term of the maximum prison term prescribed for a	2011
felony of the first degree that, subject to divisions (C) to (I)	2012
of section 2967.19 of the Revised Code, cannot be reduced pursuant	2013

(4) If the offender is being sentenced for a third or fourth	2016
degree felony OVI offense under division (G)(2) of section 2929.13	2017
of the Revised Code, the sentencing court shall impose upon the	2018
offender a mandatory prison term in accordance with that division.	2019
In addition to the mandatory prison term, if the offender is being	2020
sentenced for a fourth degree felony OVI offense, the court,	2021
notwithstanding division (A)(4) of this section, may sentence the	2022
offender to a definite prison term of not less than six months and	2023
not more than thirty months, and if the offender is being	2024
sentenced for a third degree felony OVI offense, the sentencing	2025
court may sentence the offender to an additional prison term of	2026
any duration specified in division (A)(3) of this section. In	2027
either case, the additional prison term imposed shall be reduced	2028
by the sixty or one hundred twenty days imposed upon the offender	2029
as the mandatory prison term. The total of the additional prison	2030
term imposed under division (B)(4) of this section plus the sixty	2031
or one hundred twenty days imposed as the mandatory prison term	2032
shall equal a definite term in the range of six months to thirty	2033
months for a fourth degree felony OVI offense and shall equal one	2034
of the authorized prison terms specified in division (A)(3) of	2035
this section for a third degree felony OVI offense. If the court	2036
imposes an additional prison term under division (B)(4) of this	2037

offense. In addition to the mandatory prison term or mandatory and	2040
additional prison term imposed as described in division (B)(4) of	2041
this section, the court also may sentence the offender to a	2042
community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the	2043
Revised Code, but the offender shall serve all of the prison terms	2044
so imposed prior to serving the community control sanction.	2045

If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony	2046
OVI offense under division (G)(1) of section 2929.13 of the	2047
Revised Code and the court imposes a mandatory term of local	2048
incarceration, the court may impose a prison term as described in	2049
division (A)(1) of that section.	2050

violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the	2052
Revised Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	2053
specification of the type described in section 2941.1414 of the	2054
Revised Code that charges that the victim of the offense is a	2055
peace officer, as defined in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code,	2056
or an investigator of the bureau of criminal identification and	2057
investigation, as defined in section 2903.11 of the Revised Code,	2058
the court shall impose on the offender a prison term of five	2059

divisions (C) to (I) of section 2967.19 of the Revised Code, shall	2062
not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.19,	2063
section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. or	2064
Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code. A court shall not impose more	2065
than one prison term on an offender under division (B)(5) of this	2066
section for felonies committed as part of the same act.	2067

(6) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	2068
violation of division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the	2069
Revised Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	2070
specification of the type described in section 2941.1415 of the	2071
Revised Code that charges that the offender previously has been	2072

equivalent offense, as defined in section 2941.1415 of the Revised	2075
Code, or three or more violations of any combination of those	2076
divisions and offenses, the court shall impose on the offender a	2077

this section shall not be reduced pursuant to section 2929.20,	2108
section 2967.19, section 2967.193, or any other provision of	2109
Chapter 2967. of the Revised Code. A court shall not impose more	2110
than one prison term on an offender under division (B)(7)(a) of	2111
this section for felonies committed as part of the same act,	2112
scheme, or plan.	2113

(8) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	2114
felony violation of section 2903.11, 2903.12, or 2903.13 of the	2115
Revised Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	2116
specification of the type described in section 2941.1423 of the	2117
Revised Code that charges that the victim of the violation was a	2118
woman whom the offender knew was pregnant at the time of the	2119
violation, notwithstanding the range of prison terms prescribed in	2120

offender pursuant to division (B)(1)(c) of this section for	2142
committing a felony specified in that division by discharging a	2143
firearm from a motor vehicle, or if both types of mandatory prison	2144

section, consecutively to and prior to any prison term imposed for	2160
the underlying felony under division (A), (B)(2), or (B)(3) of	2161
this section or any other section of the Revised Code, and	2162
consecutively to any other prison term or mandatory prison term	2163
previously or subsequently imposed upon the offender.	2164

any other mandatory prison term imposed under that division or	2176
under any other provision of law and consecutively to any other	2177
prison term or mandatory prison term previously or subsequently	2178
imposed upon the offender.	2179

(2) If an offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or	2180
other residential detention facility violates section 2917.02,	2181
2917.03, or 2921.35 of the Revised Code or division (A)(1) or (2)	2182
of section 2921.34 of the Revised Code, if an offender who is	2183
under detention at a detention facility commits a felony violation	2184
of section 2923.131 of the Revised Code, or if an offender who is	2185
an inmate in a jail, prison, or other residential detention	2186
facility or is under detention at a detention facility commits	2187
another felony while the offender is an escapee in violation of	2188
division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2921.34 of the Revised Code, any	2189
prison term imposed upon the offender for one of those violations	2190

or term of imprisonment the offender was serving when the offender	2192
committed that offense and to any other prison term previously or	2193
subsequently imposed upon the offender.	2194

(3) If a prison term is imposed for a violation of division	2195
(B) of section 2911.01 of the Revised Code, a violation of	2196
division (A) of section 2913.02 of the Revised Code in which the	2197

the offender shall serve that prison term consecutively to any	2200
other prison term or mandatory prison term previously or	2201
subsequently imposed upon the offender.	2202

(4) If multiple prison terms are imposed on an offender for	2203
convictions of multiple offenses, the court may require the	2204
offender to serve the prison terms consecutively if the court	2205
finds that the consecutive service is necessary to protect the	2206
public from future crime or to punish the offender and that	2207
consecutive sentences are not disproportionate to the seriousness	2208
of the offender's conduct and to the danger the offender poses to	2209
the public, and if the court also finds any of the following:	2210

(a) The offender committed one or more of the multiple	2211
offenses while the offender was awaiting trial or sentencing, was	2212
under a sanction imposed pursuant to section 2929.16, 2929.17, or	2213
2929.18 of the Revised Code, or was under post-release control for	2214
a prior offense.	2215

(b) At least two of the multiple offenses were committed as	2216
part of one or more courses of conduct, and the harm caused by two	2217
or more of the multiple offenses so committed was so great or	2218
unusual that no single prison term for any of the offenses	2219
committed as part of any of the courses of conduct adequately	2220
reflects the seriousness of the offender's conduct.	2221

(c) The offender's history of criminal conduct demonstrates	2222
that consecutive sentences are necessary to protect the public	2223
from future crime by the offender.	2224

(5) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender	2225
pursuant to division (B)(5) or (6) of this section, the offender	2226
shall serve the mandatory prison term consecutively to and prior	2227
to any prison term imposed for the underlying violation of	2228
division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code	2229
pursuant to division (A) of this section or section 2929.142 of	2230
the Revised Code. If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an	2231
offender pursuant to division (B)(5) of this section, and if a	2232
mandatory prison term also is imposed upon the offender pursuant	2233
to division (B)(6) of this section in relation to the same	2234
violation, the offender shall serve the mandatory prison term	2235
imposed pursuant to division (B)(5) of this section consecutively	2236
to and prior to the mandatory prison term imposed pursuant to	2237
division (B)(6) of this section and consecutively to and prior to	2238
any prison term imposed for the underlying violation of division	2239
(A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code pursuant to	2240
division (A) of this section or section 2929.142 of the Revised	2241
Code.	2242

(6) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender	2243
pursuant to division (B)(9) of this section, the offender shall	2244
serve that mandatory prison term consecutively to and prior to any	2245
prison term imposed for the underlying violation of an offense of	2246
violence and consecutively to and prior to any other prison term	2247
or mandatory prison term previously or subsequently imposed upon	2248
the offender.	2249

(7) When consecutive prison terms are imposed pursuant to	2250
division (C)(1), (2), (3), (4), or (5), or (6) or division (H)(1)	2251
or (2) of this section, the term to be served is the aggregate of	2252
all of the terms so imposed.	2253

(D)(1) If a court imposes a prison term for a felony of the	2254
first degree, for a felony of the second degree, for a felony sex	2255
offense, or for a felony of the third degree that is not a felony	2256
sex offense and in the commission of which the offender caused or	2257
threatened to cause physical harm to a person, it shall include in	2258
the sentence a requirement that the offender be subject to a	2259
period of post-release control after the offender's release from	2260
imprisonment, in accordance with that division. If a court imposes	2261
a sentence including a prison term of a type described in this	2262
division on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a court to	2263
include a post-release control requirement in the sentence	2264
pursuant to this division does not negate, limit, or otherwise	2265
affect the mandatory period of post-release control that is	2266
required for the offender under division (B) of section 2967.28 of	2267
the Revised Code. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if,	2268
prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a	2269
prison term of a type described in this division and failed to	2270
include in the sentence pursuant to this division a statement	2271
regarding post-release control.	2272

(2) If a court imposes a prison term for a felony of the	2273
third, fourth, or fifth degree that is not subject to division	2274
(D)(1) of this section, it shall include in the sentence a	2275
requirement that the offender be subject to a period of	2276
post-release control after the offender's release from	2277
imprisonment, in accordance with that division, if the parole	2278
board determines that a period of post-release control is	2279
necessary. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, prior	2280
to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a prison	2281
term of a type described in this division and failed to include in	2282
the sentence pursuant to this division a statement regarding	2283
post-release control.	2284

(E) The court shall impose sentence upon the offender in	2285
accordance with section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, and Chapter	2286
2971. of the Revised Code applies regarding the prison term or	2287
term of life imprisonment without parole imposed upon the offender	2288
and the service of that term of imprisonment if any of the	2289
following apply:	2290

(1) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violent	2291

not impose a sentence of life without parole when authorized	2298
pursuant to division (B) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code,	2299
or division (B) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code provides	2300
that the court shall not sentence the offender pursuant to section	2301
2971.03 of the Revised Code.	2302

(3) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to attempted	2303
rape committed on or after January 2, 2007, and a specification of	2304
the type described in section 2941.1418, 2941.1419, or 2941.1420	2305
of the Revised Code.	2306

(4) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation	2307
of section 2905.01 of the Revised Code committed on or after	2308
January 1, 2008, and that section requires the court to sentence	2309
the offender pursuant to section 2971.03 of the Revised Code.	2310

(5) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to aggravated	2311
murder committed on or after January 1, 2008, and division	2312
(A)(2)(b)(ii) of section 2929.022, division (A)(1)(e),	2313
(C)(1)(a)(v), (C)(2)(a)(ii), (D)(2)(b), (D)(3)(a)(iv), or	2314
(E)(1)(d) of section 2929.03, or division (A) or (B) of section	2315
2929.06 of the Revised Code requires the court to sentence the	2316
offender pursuant to division (B)(3) of section 2971.03 of the	2317
Revised Code.	2318

(6) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to murder	2319
committed on or after January 1, 2008, and division (B)(2) of	2320
section 2929.02 of the Revised Code requires the court to sentence	2321
the offender pursuant to section 2971.03 of the Revised Code.	2322

(F) If a person who has been convicted of or pleaded guilty	2323
to a felony is sentenced to a prison term or term of imprisonment	2324
under this section, sections 2929.02 to 2929.06 of the Revised	2325
Code, section 2929.142 of the Revised Code, section 2971.03 of the	2326
Revised Code, or any other provision of law, section 5120.163 of	2327
the Revised Code applies regarding the person while the person is	2328
confined in a state correctional institution.	2329

(G) If an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	2330
felony that is an offense of violence also is convicted of or	2331
pleads guilty to a specification of the type described in section	2332
2941.142 of the Revised Code that charges the offender with having	2333
committed the felony while participating in a criminal gang, the	2334
court shall impose upon the offender an additional prison term of	2335
one, two, or three years.	2336

(H)(1) If an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to	2337
aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the first, second, or	2338
third degree that is an offense of violence also is convicted of	2339
or pleads guilty to a specification of the type described in	2340
section 2941.143 of the Revised Code that charges the offender	2341
with having committed the offense in a school safety zone or	2342
towards a person in a school safety zone, the court shall impose	2343
upon the offender an additional prison term of two years. The	2344
offender shall serve the additional two years consecutively to and	2345
prior to the prison term imposed for the underlying offense.	2346

(2)(a) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	2347
felony violation of section 2907.22, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25	2348
of the Revised Code and to a specification of the type described	2349
in section 2941.1421 of the Revised Code and if the court imposes	2350
a prison term on the offender for the felony violation, the court	2351
may impose upon the offender an additional prison term as follows:	2352

(i) Subject to division (H)(2)(a)(ii) of this section, an	2353
additional prison term of one, two, three, four, five, or six	2354
months;	2355

(ii) If the offender previously has been convicted of or	2356
pleaded guilty to one or more felony or misdemeanor violations of	2357
section 2907.22, 2907.23, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25 of the	2358

eight, nine, ten, eleven, or twelve months.	2363

(b) In lieu of imposing an additional prison term under	2364
division (H)(2)(a) of this section, the court may directly impose	2365
on the offender a sanction that requires the offender to wear a	2366
real-time processing, continual tracking electronic monitoring	2367
device during the period of time specified by the court. The	2368
period of time specified by the court shall equal the duration of	2369
an additional prison term that the court could have imposed upon	2370
the offender under division (H)(2)(a) of this section. A sanction	2371
imposed under this division shall commence on the date specified	2372
by the court, provided that the sanction shall not commence until	2373
after the offender has served the prison term imposed for the	2374
felony violation of section 2907.22, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25	2375
of the Revised Code and any residential sanction imposed for the	2376

imposed under this division shall be considered to be a community	2378
control sanction for purposes of section 2929.15 of the Revised	2379
Code, and all provisions of the Revised Code that pertain to	2380
community control sanctions shall apply to a sanction imposed	2381
under this division, except to the extent that they would by their	2382
nature be clearly inapplicable. The offender shall pay all costs	2383
associated with a sanction imposed under this division, including	2384
the cost of the use of the monitoring device.	2385

(I) At the time of sentencing, the court may recommend the	2386
offender for placement in a program of shock incarceration under	2387
section 5120.031 of the Revised Code or for placement in an	2388
intensive program prison under section 5120.032 of the Revised	2389
Code, disapprove placement of the offender in a program of shock	2390
incarceration or an intensive program prison of that nature, or	2391
make no recommendation on placement of the offender. In no case	2392
shall the department of rehabilitation and correction place the	2393
offender in a program or prison of that nature unless the	2394
department determines as specified in section 5120.031 or 5120.032	2395
of the Revised Code, whichever is applicable, that the offender is	2396
eligible for the placement.	2397

If the court disapproves placement of the offender in a	2398
program or prison of that nature, the department of rehabilitation	2399
and correction shall not place the offender in any program of	2400
shock incarceration or intensive program prison.	2401

If the court recommends placement of the offender in a	2402
program of shock incarceration or in an intensive program prison,	2403
and if the offender is subsequently placed in the recommended	2404
program or prison, the department shall notify the court of the	2405
placement and shall include with the notice a brief description of	2406
the placement.	2407

If the court recommends placement of the offender in a	2408
program of shock incarceration or in an intensive program prison	2409
and the department does not subsequently place the offender in the	2410
recommended program or prison, the department shall send a notice	2411
to the court indicating why the offender was not placed in the	2412
recommended program or prison.	2413

If the court does not make a recommendation under this	2414
division with respect to an offender and if the department	2415
determines as specified in section 5120.031 or 5120.032 of the	2416
Revised Code, whichever is applicable, that the offender is	2417
eligible for placement in a program or prison of that nature, the	2418
department shall screen the offender and determine if there is an	2419
available program of shock incarceration or an intensive program	2420
prison for which the offender is suited. If there is an available	2421
program of shock incarceration or an intensive program prison for	2422
which the offender is suited, the department shall notify the	2423
court of the proposed placement of the offender as specified in	2424
section 5120.031 or 5120.032 of the Revised Code and shall include	2425
with the notice a brief description of the placement. The court	2426
shall have ten days from receipt of the notice to disapprove the	2427
placement.	2428

aggravated vehicular homicide in violation of division (A)(1) of	2430
section 2903.06 of the Revised Code and division (B)(2)(c) of that	2431
section applies, the person shall be sentenced pursuant to section	2432
2929.142 of the Revised Code.	2433

Sec. 2941.1424. (A) Imposition of a mandatory prison term of	2434
five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten years upon an offender under	2435
division (B)(9) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code is	2436
precluded unless the offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to	2437
a felony offense of violence and unless the indictment, count in	2438
the indictment, or information charging the offense specifies that	2439
the victim of the offense suffered permanent disabling harm as a	2440
result of the offense. The specification shall be stated at the	2441
end of the body of the indictment, count, or information and shall	2442
be stated in substantially the following form:	2443

"SPECIFICATION (or, SPECIFICATION TO THE FIRST COUNT). The	2444
Grand Jurors (or insert the person's or the prosecuting attorney's	2445
name when appropriate) further find and specify that (set forth	2446
that the victim of the offense suffered permanent disabling harm	2447
as a result of the offense)."	2448

(B) As used in this section, "permanent disabling harm" has	2449
the same meaning as in section 2929.01 of the Revised Code.	2450

Section 2. That existing sections 2743.51, 2743.60, 2743.65,	2451
