offender finds that the offender is guilty of a specification of | 1280 |
the type described in section 2941.1410 of the Revised Code | 1281 |
charging that the offender is a major drug offender, if the court | 1282 |
imposing sentence upon an offender for a felony finds that the | 1283 |
offender is guilty of corrupt activity with the most serious | 1284 |
offense in the pattern of corrupt activity being a felony of the | 1285 |
first degree, or if the offender is guilty of an attempted | 1286 |
violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and, had the | 1287 |

about the offender's person or under the offender's control while | 1427 |
committing a felony, if a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an | 1428 |
offender pursuant to division (D)(1)(c) of this section for | 1429 |
committing a felony specified in that division by discharging a | 1430 |
firearm from a motor vehicle, or if both types of mandatory prison | 1431 |
terms are imposed, the offender shall serve any mandatory prison | 1432 |
term imposed under either division consecutively to any other | 1433 |
mandatory prison term imposed under either division or under | 1434 |
division (D)(1)(d) of this section, consecutively to and prior to | 1435 |
any prison term imposed for the underlying felony pursuant to | 1436 |
division (A), (D)(2), or (D)(3) of this section or any other | 1437 |
section of the Revised Code, and consecutively to any other prison | 1438 |
term or mandatory prison term previously or subsequently imposed | 1439 |
upon the offender. | 1440 |
(b) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender | 1441 |
pursuant to division (D)(1)(d) of this section for wearing or | 1442 |
carrying body armor while committing an offense of violence that | 1443 |
is a felony, the offender shall serve the mandatory term so | 1444 |
imposed consecutively to any other mandatory prison term imposed | 1445 |
under that division or under division (D)(1)(a) or (c) of this | 1446 |
section, consecutively to and prior to any prison term imposed for | 1447 |
the underlying felony under division (A), (D)(2), or (D)(3) of | 1448 |
this section or any other section of the Revised Code, and | 1449 |
consecutively to any other prison term or mandatory prison term | 1450 |
previously or subsequently imposed upon the offender. | 1451 |
(2) If an offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or | 1475 |
other residential detention facility violates section 2917.02, | 1476 |
2917.03, 2921.34, or 2921.35 of the Revised Code, if an offender | 1477 |
who is under detention at a detention facility commits a felony | 1478 |
violation of section 2923.131 of the Revised Code, or if an | 1479 |
offender who is an inmate in a jail, prison, or other residential | 1480 |
detention facility or is under detention at a detention facility | 1481 |
commits another felony while the offender is an escapee in | 1482 |
violation of section 2921.34 of the Revised Code, any prison term | 1483 |
imposed upon the offender for one of those violations shall be | 1484 |
served by the offender consecutively to the prison term or term of | 1485 |
imprisonment the offender was serving when the offender committed | 1486 |
that offense and to any other prison term previously or | 1487 |
subsequently imposed upon the offender. | 1488 |
(5) If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an offender | 1519 |
pursuant to division (D)(5) or (6) of this section, the offender | 1520 |
shall serve the mandatory prison term consecutively to and prior | 1521 |
to any prison term imposed for the underlying violation of | 1522 |
division (A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code | 1523 |
pursuant to division (A) of this section or section 2929.142 of | 1524 |
the Revised Code. If a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an | 1525 |
offender pursuant to division (D)(5) of this section, and if a | 1526 |
mandatory prison term also is imposed upon the offender pursuant | 1527 |
to division (D)(6) of this section in relation to the same | 1528 |
violation, the offender shall serve the mandatory prison term | 1529 |
imposed pursuant to division (D)(5) of this section consecutively | 1530 |
to and prior to the mandatory prison term imposed pursuant to | 1531 |
division (D)(6) of this section and consecutively to and prior to | 1532 |
any prison term imposed for the underlying violation of division | 1533 |
(A)(1) or (2) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code pursuant to | 1534 |
division (A) of this section or section 2929.142 of the Revised | 1535 |
Code. | 1536 |
(F)(1) If a court imposes a prison term for a felony of the | 1541 |
first degree, for a felony of the second degree, for a felony sex | 1542 |
offense, or for a felony of the third degree that is not a felony | 1543 |
sex offense and in the commission of which the offender caused or | 1544 |
threatened to cause physical harm to a person, it shall include in | 1545 |
the sentence a requirement that the offender be subject to a | 1546 |
period of post-release control after the offender's release from | 1547 |
imprisonment, in accordance with that division. If a court imposes | 1548 |
a sentence including a prison term of a type described in this | 1549 |
division on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a court to | 1550 |
include a post-release control requirement in the sentence | 1551 |
pursuant to this division does not negate, limit, or otherwise | 1552 |
affect the mandatory period of post-release control that is | 1553 |
required for the offender under division (B) of section 2967.28 of | 1554 |
the Revised Code. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, | 1555 |
prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a | 1556 |
prison term of a type described in this division and failed to | 1557 |
include in the sentence pursuant to this division a statement | 1558 |
regarding post-release control. | 1559 |
(2) If a court imposes a prison term for a felony of the | 1560 |
third, fourth, or fifth degree that is not subject to division | 1561 |
(F)(1) of this section, it shall include in the sentence a | 1562 |
requirement that the offender be subject to a period of | 1563 |
post-release control after the offender's release from | 1564 |
imprisonment, in accordance with that division, if the parole | 1565 |
board determines that a period of post-release control is | 1566 |
necessary. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, prior | 1567 |
to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a prison | 1568 |
term of a type described in this division and failed to include in | 1569 |
the sentence pursuant to this division a statement regarding | 1570 |
post-release control. | 1571 |
(5) A person is convicted of or pleads guilty to aggravated | 1598 |
murder committed on or after January 1, 2008, and division | 1599 |
(A)(2)(b)(ii) of section 2929.022, division (A)(1)(e), | 1600 |
(C)(1)(a)(v), (C)(2)(a)(ii), (D)(2)(b), (D)(3)(a)(iv), or | 1601 |
(E)(1)(d) of section 2929.03, or division (A) or (B) of section | 1602 |
2929.06 of the Revised Code requires the court to sentence the | 1603 |
offender pursuant to division (B)(3) of section 2971.03 of the | 1604 |
Revised Code. | 1605 |
(J)(1) If an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to | 1624 |
aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the first, second, or | 1625 |
third degree that is an offense of violence also is convicted of | 1626 |
or pleads guilty to a specification of the type described in | 1627 |
section 2941.143 of the Revised Code that charges the offender | 1628 |
with having committed the offense in a school safety zone or | 1629 |
towards a person in a school safety zone, the court shall impose | 1630 |
upon the offender an additional prison term of two years. The | 1631 |
offender shall serve the additional two years consecutively to and | 1632 |
prior to the prison term imposed for the underlying offense. | 1633 |
(ii) If the offender previously has been convicted of or | 1643 |
pleaded guilty to one or more felony or misdemeanor violations of | 1644 |
section 2907.22, 2907.23, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25 of the | 1645 |
Revised Code and also was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a | 1646 |
specification of the type described in section 2941.1421 of the | 1647 |
Revised Code regarding one or more of those violations, an | 1648 |
additional prison term of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, | 1649 |
eight, nine, ten, eleven, or twelve months. | 1650 |
(b) In lieu of imposing an additional prison term under | 1651 |
division (J)(2)(a) of this section, the court may directly impose | 1652 |
on the offender a sanction that requires the offender to wear a | 1653 |
real-time processing, continual tracking electronic monitoring | 1654 |
device during the period of time specified by the court. The | 1655 |
period of time specified by the court shall equal the duration of | 1656 |
an additional prison term that the court could have imposed upon | 1657 |
the offender under division (J)(2)(a) of this section. A sanction | 1658 |
imposed under this division shall commence on the date specified | 1659 |
by the court, provided that the sanction shall not commence until | 1660 |
after the offender has served the prison term imposed for the | 1661 |
felony violation of section 2907.22, 2907.24, 2907.241, or 2907.25 | 1662 |
of the Revised Code and any residential sanction imposed for the | 1663 |
violation under section 2929.16 of the Revised Code. A sanction | 1664 |
imposed under this division shall be considered to be a community | 1665 |
control sanction for purposes of section 2929.15 of the Revised | 1666 |
Code, and all provisions of the Revised Code that pertain to | 1667 |
community control sanctions shall apply to a sanction imposed | 1668 |
under this division, except to the extent that they would by their | 1669 |
nature be clearly inapplicable. The offender shall pay all costs | 1670 |
associated with a sanction imposed under this division, including | 1671 |
the cost of the use of the monitoring device. | 1672 |
(K) At the time of sentencing, the court may recommend the | 1673 |
offender for placement in a program of shock incarceration under | 1674 |
section 5120.031 of the Revised Code or for placement in an | 1675 |
intensive program prison under section 5120.032 of the Revised | 1676 |
Code, disapprove placement of the offender in a program of shock | 1677 |
incarceration or an intensive program prison of that nature, or | 1678 |
make no recommendation on placement of the offender. In no case | 1679 |
shall the department of rehabilitation and correction place the | 1680 |
offender in a program or prison of that nature unless the | 1681 |
department determines as specified in section 5120.031 or 5120.032 | 1682 |
of the Revised Code, whichever is applicable, that the offender is | 1683 |
eligible for the placement. | 1684 |
If the court does not make a recommendation under this | 1701 |
division with respect to an offender and if the department | 1702 |
determines as specified in section 5120.031 or 5120.032 of the | 1703 |
Revised Code, whichever is applicable, that the offender is | 1704 |
eligible for placement in a program or prison of that nature, the | 1705 |
department shall screen the offender and determine if there is an | 1706 |
available program of shock incarceration or an intensive program | 1707 |
prison for which the offender is suited. If there is an available | 1708 |
program of shock incarceration or an intensive program prison for | 1709 |
which the offender is suited, the department shall notify the | 1710 |
court of the proposed placement of the offender as specified in | 1711 |
section 5120.031 or 5120.032 of the Revised Code and shall include | 1712 |
with the notice a brief description of the placement. The court | 1713 |
shall have ten days from receipt of the notice to disapprove the | 1714 |
placement. | 1715 |
Sec. 2929.22. (A) Unless a mandatory jail term is required | 1721 |
to be imposed by section 2929.23 or 2929.24, division (G) of | 1722 |
section 1547.99, division (B) of section 4510.14, division (G) of | 1723 |
section 4511.19 of the Revised Code, or any other provision of the | 1724 |
Revised Code, a court that imposes a sentence under this chapter | 1725 |
upon an offender for a misdemeanor or minor misdemeanor has | 1726 |
discretion to determine the most effective way to achieve the | 1727 |
purposes and principles of sentencing set forth in section 2929.21 | 1728 |
of the Revised Code. | 1729 |
(C) Before imposing a jail term as a sentence for a | 1766 |
misdemeanor, a court shall consider the appropriateness of | 1767 |
imposing a community control sanction or a combination of | 1768 |
community control sanctions under sections 2929.25, 2929.26, | 1769 |
2929.27, and 2929.28 of the Revised Code. A court may impose the | 1770 |
longest jail term authorized under section 2929.24 of the Revised | 1771 |
Code only upon offenders who commit the worst forms of the offense | 1772 |
or upon offenders whose conduct and response to prior sanctions | 1773 |
for prior offenses demonstrate that the imposition of the longest | 1774 |
jail term is necessary to deter the offender from committing a | 1775 |
future crime. | 1776 |
(2)(a) If a prosecutor, as defined in section 2935.01 of the | 1811 |
Revised Code, has filed a notice with the court that the | 1812 |
prosecutor wants to be notified about a particular case and if the | 1813 |
court is considering modifying the jail sentence of the offender | 1814 |
in that case, the court shall notify the prosecutor that the court | 1815 |
is considering modifying the jail sentence of the offender in that | 1816 |
case. The prosecutor may request a hearing regarding the court's | 1817 |
consideration of modifying the jail sentence of the offender in | 1818 |
that case, and, if the prosecutor requests a hearing, the court | 1819 |
shall notify the eligible offender of the hearing. | 1820 |
(C) If a court sentences an offender to a jail term under | 1826 |
this section and the court assigns the offender to a county jail | 1827 |
that has established a county jail industry program pursuant to | 1828 |
section 5147.30 of the Revised Code, the court shall specify, as | 1829 |
part of the sentence, whether the offender may be considered for | 1830 |
participation in the program. During the offender's term in the | 1831 |
county jail, the court retains jurisdiction to modify its | 1832 |
specification regarding the offender's participation in the county | 1833 |
jail industry program. | 1834 |
(D) If a person is sentenced to a jail term pursuant to this | 1835 |
section, the court may impose as part of the sentence pursuant to | 1836 |
section 2929.28 of the Revised Code a reimbursement sanction, and, | 1837 |
if the local detention facility in which the term is to be served | 1838 |
is covered by a policy adopted pursuant to section 307.93, 341.14, | 1839 |
341.19, 341.21, 341.23, 753.02, 753.04, 753.16, 2301.56, or | 1840 |
2947.19 of the Revised Code and section 2929.37 of the Revised | 1841 |
Code, both of the following apply: | 1842 |
(E) If an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a | 1857 |
violation of division (B) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code | 1858 |
also is convicted of or also pleads guilty to a specification of | 1859 |
the type described in section 2941.1416 of the Revised Code and if | 1860 |
the court imposes a jail term on the offender for the underlying | 1861 |
offense, the court shall impose upon the offender an additional | 1862 |
definite jail term of not more than six months. The additional | 1863 |
jail term shall not be reduced pursuant to any provision of the | 1864 |
Revised Code. The offender shall serve the additional jail term | 1865 |
consecutively to and prior to the jail term imposed for the | 1866 |
underlying offense and consecutively to any other mandatory term | 1867 |
imposed in relation to the offense. | 1868 |
(2) In lieu of imposing an additional definite jail term | 1886 |
under division (F)(1) of this section, the court may directly | 1887 |
impose on the offender a sanction that requires the offender to | 1888 |
wear a real-time processing, continual tracking electronic | 1889 |
monitoring device during the period of time specified by the | 1890 |
court. The period of time specified by the court shall equal the | 1891 |
duration of an additional jail term that the court could have | 1892 |
imposed upon the offender under division (F)(1) of this section. A | 1893 |
sanction imposed under this division shall commence on the date | 1894 |
specified by the court, provided that the sanction shall not | 1895 |
commence until after the offender has served the jail term imposed | 1896 |
for the misdemeanor violation of section 2907.23, 2907.24, | 1897 |
2907.241, or 2907.25 of the Revised Code and any residential | 1898 |
sanction imposed for the violation under section 2929.26 of the | 1899 |
Revised Code. A sanction imposed under this division shall be | 1900 |
considered to be a community control sanction for purposes of | 1901 |
section 2929.25 of the Revised Code, and all provisions of the | 1902 |
Revised Code that pertain to community control sanctions shall | 1903 |
apply to a sanction imposed under this division, except to the | 1904 |
extent that they would by their nature be clearly inapplicable. | 1905 |
The offender shall pay all costs associated with a sanction | 1906 |
imposed under this division, including the cost of the use of the | 1907 |
monitoring device. | 1908 |
(H) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a | 1917 |
misdemeanor violation of section 2907.04 or 2919.22 of the Revised | 1918 |
Code and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a specification | 1919 |
of the type described in section 2941.1424 of the Revised Code | 1920 |
that charges that the victim was in any circumstance specified in | 1921 |
division (A)(1), (2), or (3) of that section and that the offender | 1922 |
had the type of authority or disciplinary control specified in | 1923 |
that division relative to the victim, the court shall impose upon | 1924 |
the offender a mandatory jail term of one year. If a court imposes | 1925 |
a jail term on an offender under this division, the jail term | 1926 |
shall not be reduced pursuant to any provision of the Revised | 1927 |
Code. The offender shall serve the mandatory jail term so imposed | 1928 |
consecutively to and prior to any jail term imposed for the | 1929 |
underlying felony and consecutively to any other mandatory term | 1930 |
imposed in relation to the offense. | 1931 |
Section 3. The General Assembly, applying the principle | 1967 |
stated in division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised Code that | 1968 |
amendments are to be harmonized if reasonably capable of | 1969 |
simultaneous operation, finds that section 2929.14 of the Revised | 1970 |
Code, as presented in this act, is a composite of the section as | 1971 |
amended by both Am. Sub. H.B. 130 and Am. Sub. H.B. 280 of the | 1972 |
127th General Assembly and is the resulting version of the section | 1973 |
in effect prior to the effective date of the section as presented | 1974 |
in this act. | 1975 |
