under this section, and if all of the conditions set forth in 109
divisions (A)(1) and (2), and (3) of this section are applicable 110
to the act, the juvenile court, in the juvenile court's 111

chapter.120

committing a delinquent child to a drug treatment program under 122

delinquent child fails to complete the drug treatment program or 129
violates the drug treatment program's conditions for 130
participation, the juvenile court may issue an order of 131
disposition for the delinquent child under Chapter 2152. of the 132

child's commitment to the drug treatment program.134

       (E) The juvenile court shall not make an order of disposition 135
committing a delinquent child to a term in a drug treatment 136
program under this section if a juvenile court has imposed a 137

division (A) or (B) of this section, the acts shall be considered 157
a single act for purposes of divisions (A) and (B) of this 158
section.159

       (G) A juvenile court that commits a delinquent child to a 160
drug treatment program under division (A) or (B) of this section 161
retains jurisdiction over the delinquent child during the term of 162
the delinquent child's commitment.163

       (H) A person on the staff of a drug treatment program shall 164
notify the juvenile court if a delinquent child committed to the 165
drug treatment program fails to complete the drug treatment 166
program or violates the drug treatment program's conditions for 167
participation. After receiving the notice from the drug treatment 168
program, if the juvenile court finds upon further hearing that the 169
delinquent child has failed to comply with the court's order of 170
disposition, the juvenile court shall impose an order of 171

services, and conditions that the court prescribes. As a condition 205
of community control in every case and in addition to any other 206
condition that it imposes upon the child, the court shall require 207
the child to abide by the law during the period of community 208
control. As referred to in this division, community control 209
includes, but is not limited to, the following sanctions and 210
conditions:211

       (a) A period of basic probation supervision in which the 212
child is required to maintain contact with a person appointed to 213

       A period of house arrest with electronic monitoring or 251
continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic monitoring and 252
continuous alcohol monitoring, imposed under this division shall 253
not extend beyond the child's twenty-first birthday. If a court 254

continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic monitoring and 256
continuous alcohol monitoring, upon a child under this division, 257
it shall require the child: to remain in the child's home or other 258
specified premises for the entire period of house arrest with 259
electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring or both 260
except when the court permits the child to leave those premises to 261
go to school or to other specified premises. Regarding electronic 262
monitoring, the court also shall require the child to be monitored 263
by a central system that can determine the child's location at 264
designated times; to report periodically to a person designated by 265

right to receive credit for any time served on house arrest with 270
electronic monitoring toward the period of any other dispositional 271
order imposed upon the child if the child violates any of the 272
requirements of the dispositional order of house arrest with 273
electronic monitoring. The court also may impose other reasonable 274
requirements upon the child.275

       Unless ordered by the court, a child shall not receive credit 276
for any time served on house arrest with electronic monitoring or 277
continuous alcohol monitoring or both toward any other 278
dispositional order imposed upon the child for the act for which 279
was imposed the dispositional order of house arrest with 280
electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring. As used in 281
this division and division (A)(4)(l) of this section, "continuous 282
alcohol monitoring" has the same meaning as in section 2929.01 of 283
the Revised Code.284

or both of the following:304

       (i) Require the child to participate in a truancy prevention 305
mediation program;306

       (ii) Make any order of disposition as authorized by this 307

facility described in division (A)(2) or (3) of this section 309
unless the court determines that the child violated a lawful court 310
order made pursuant to division (C)(1)(e) of section 2151.354 of 311
the Revised Code or division (A)(6) of this section.312

       (b) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a 313
chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been 314

of the child in the school attended by the child.327

       (8) Make any further disposition that the court finds proper, 328
except that the child shall not be placed in a state correctional 329
institution, a county, multicounty, or municipal jail or 330
workhouse, or another place in which an adult convicted of a 331
crime, under arrest, or charged with a crime is held.332

section, the court, in the following situations and for the 335
specified periods of time, shall suspend the child's temporary 336
instruction permit, restricted license, probationary driver's 337
license, or nonresident operating privilege, or suspend the 338
child's ability to obtain such a permit:339

       (1) If the child is adjudicated a delinquent child for 340
violating section 2923.122 of the Revised Code, impose a class 341

the range specified in division (A)(4) of section 4510.02 of the 343
Revised Code or deny the child the issuance of a license or permit 344

       (C) The court may establish a victim-offender mediation 360
program in which victims and their offenders meet to discuss the 361
offense and suggest possible restitution. If the court obtains the 362
assent of the victim of the delinquent act committed by the child, 363
the court may require the child to participate in the program.364

       (D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for 365
committing an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult 366
and if the child caused, attempted to cause, threatened to cause, 367
or created a risk of physical harm to the victim of the act, the 368
court, prior to issuing an order of disposition under this 369
section, shall order the preparation of a victim impact statement 370

the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a 372
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county, 373
a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity. The court 374
shall consider the victim impact statement in determining the 375
order of disposition to issue for the child.376

psychological impact experienced by the victim or the victim's 384
family as a result of the act, and contain any other information 385
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the court 386
requires.387

       (3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and 388
is not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of 389
the statement to the department of youth services if the 390
delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the 391
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's 392
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact 393
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to 394
this section shall be kept confidential and is not a public 395
record. If an officer is preparing pursuant to section 2947.06 or 396
2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 a presentence 397
investigation report pertaining to a person, the court shall make 398
available to the officer, for use in preparing the report, a copy 399
of any victim impact statement regarding that person. The copies 400
of a victim impact statement that are made available to the 401
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's 402
counsel and the prosecuting attorney pursuant to this division 403
shall be returned to the court by the person to whom they were 404
made available immediately following the imposition of an order of 405

chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been 415
adjudicated an unruly child for being a habitual truant and the 416
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having 417
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at 418
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in 419
addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section, 420
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having 421
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as 422
an unruly or delinquent child for being a habitual or chronic 423

and the court shall impose as a mandatory prison term the maximum 849
prison term prescribed for a felony of the first degree.850

       (D) Arrest or conviction for a minor misdemeanor violation of 851
this section does not constitute a criminal record and need not be 852

required by division (C) of this section and sections 2929.13, 859
2929.14, 2929.22, 2929.24, and 2929.25 of the Revised Code and in 860
addition to any other sanction that is imposed for the offense 861
under this section, sections 2929.11 to 2929.18, or sections 862

a mandatory fine imposed under division (E)(1)(a) of this section.884

       (2) The court shall suspend for not less than six months or 885
more than five years the offender's driver's or commercial 886
driver's license or permit.887

       (3) If the offender is a professionally licensed person, in 888
addition to any other sanction imposed for a violation of this 889
section, the court immediately shall comply with section 2925.38 890
of the Revised Code.891

       (F) It is an affirmative defense, as provided in section 892
2901.05 of the Revised Code, to a charge of a fourth degree felony 893

gave rise to the charge is in an amount, is in a form, is 895
prepared, compounded, or mixed with substances that are not 896
controlled substances in a manner, or is possessed under any other 897
circumstances, that indicate that the substance was possessed 898
solely for personal use. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of 899
this section, if, in accordance with section 2901.05 of the 900
Revised Code, an accused who is charged with a fourth degree 901
felony violation of division (C)(2), (4), (5), or (6) of this 902
section sustains the burden of going forward with evidence of and 903
establishes by a preponderance of the evidence the affirmative 904

for and may plead guilty to or be convicted of a misdemeanor 906
violation of division (C)(2) of this section or a fifth degree 907
felony violation of division (C)(4), (5), or (6) of this section 908
respectively.909

obtained, possessed, or used an item described in division 917
(HH)(2)(a), (b), or (c) of section 3719.01 of the Revised Code.918

       (I) Notwithstanding any conflicting provision in division (C) 919

or (G), or (M) of this section and unless a specific sanction is 924
required to be imposed or is precluded from being imposed pursuant 925

felony may impose any sanction or combination of sanctions on the 927
offender that are provided in sections 2929.14 to 2929.18 of the 928
Revised Code. 929

       If the offender is eligible to be sentenced to community 930
control sanctions, the court shall consider the appropriateness of 931
imposing a financial sanction pursuant to section 2929.18 of the 932
Revised Code or a sanction of community service pursuant to 933
section 2929.17 of the Revised Code as the sole sanction for the 934
offense. Except as otherwise provided in this division, if the 935
court is required to impose a mandatory prison term for the 936
offense for which sentence is being imposed, the court also shall 937
impose any financial sanction pursuant to section 2929.18 of the 938
Revised Code that is required for the offense and may impose any 939
other financial sanction pursuant to that section but may not 940
impose any additional sanction or combination of sanctions under 941
section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised Code.942

       If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony 943
OVI offense or for a third degree felony OVI offense, in addition 944
to the mandatory term of local incarceration or the mandatory 945
prison term required for the offense by division (G)(1) or (2) of 946
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory 947

sanctions under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised Code. If 954
the court imposes upon the offender a community control sanction 955
and the offender violates any condition of the community control 956
sanction, the court may take any action prescribed in division (B) 957
of section 2929.15 of the Revised Code relative to the offender, 958
including imposing a prison term on the offender pursuant to that 959
division.960

       (2) For a third or fourth degree felony OVI offense for which 961
sentence is imposed under division (G)(2) of this section, an 962
additional prison term as described in division (B)(4) of section 963
2929.14 of the Revised Code or a community control sanction as 964
described in division (G)(2) of this section.965

       (B)(1)(a) Except as provided in division (B)(1)(b) of this 966
section, if an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a 967
felony of the fourth or fifth degree that is not an offense of 968
violence or that is a qualifying assault offense, the court shall 969
sentence the offender to a community control sanction of at least 970
one year's duration if all of the following apply: 971

       (i) The offender previously has not been convicted of or 972
pleaded guilty to a felony offense. 973

       (ii) The most serious charge against the offender at the time 974
of sentencing is a felony of the fourth or fifth degree.975

this section, the department, within the forty-five-day period 978
specified in that division, provided the court with the names of, 979

community control sanctions of at least one year's duration that 981
are available for persons sentenced by the court.982

       (iv) The offender previously has not been convicted of or 983
pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor offense of violence that the 984
offender committed within two years prior to the offense for which 985
sentence is being imposed.986

       (b) The court has discretion to impose a prison term upon an 987
offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony of the 988
fourth or fifth degree that is not an offense of violence or that 989

       (i) The offender committed the offense while having a firearm 991
on or about the offender's person or under the offender's control. 992

       (ii) If the offense is a qualifying assault offense, the 993

person while committing the offense. 997

       (iii) The offender violated a term of the conditions of bond 998
as set by the court.999

       (iv) The court made a request of the department of 1000
rehabilitation and correction pursuant to division (B)(1)(c) of 1001
this section, and the department, within the forty-five-day period 1002

name of, contact information for, and program details of any 1004
community control sanction of at least one year's duration that is 1005
available for persons sentenced by the court.1006

       (v) The offense is a sex offense that is a fourth or fifth 1007
degree felony violation of any provision of Chapter 2907. of the 1008
Revised Code.1009

       (vi) In committing the offense, the offender attempted to 1010
cause or made an actual threat of physical harm to a person with a 1011

       (vii) In committing the offense, the offender attempted to 1013
cause or made an actual threat of physical harm to a person, and 1014
the offender previously was convicted of an offense that caused 1015
physical harm to a person. 1016

       (viii) The offender held a public office or position of 1017
trust, and the offense related to that office or position; the 1018
offender's position obliged the offender to prevent the offense or 1019
to bring those committing it to justice; or the offender's 1020
professional reputation or position facilitated the offense or was 1021
likely to influence the future conduct of others.1022

convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony of the fourth or fifth 1031
degree that is not an offense of violence or that is a qualifying 1032
assault offense believes that no community control sanctions are 1033
available for its use that, if imposed on the offender, will 1034
adequately fulfill the overriding principles and purposes of 1035
sentencing, the court shall contact the department of 1036
rehabilitation and correction and ask the department to provide 1037
the court with the names of, contact information for, and program 1038
details of one or more community control sanctions of at least one 1039
year's duration that are available for persons sentenced by the 1040
court. Not later than forty-five days after receipt of a request 1041
from a court under this division, the department shall provide the 1042
court with the names of, contact information for, and program 1043
details of one or more community control sanctions of at least one 1044
year's duration that are available for persons sentenced by the 1045
court, if any. Upon making a request under this division that 1046
relates to a particular offender, a court shall defer sentencing 1047
of that offender until it receives from the department the names 1048
of, contact information for, and program details of one or more 1049
community control sanctions of at least one year's duration that 1050
are available for persons sentenced by the court or for forty-five 1051
days, whichever is the earlier.1052

       If the department provides the court with the names of, 1053
contact information for, and program details of one or more 1054
community control sanctions of at least one year's duration that 1055
are available for persons sentenced by the court within the 1056
forty-five-day period specified in this division, the court shall 1057
impose upon the offender a community control sanction under 1058
division (B)(1)(a) of this section, except that the court may 1059
impose a prison term under division (B)(1)(b) of this section if a 1060
factor described in division (B)(1)(b)(i) or (ii) of this section 1061
applies. If the department does not provide the court with the 1062
names of, contact information for, and program details of one or 1063
more community control sanctions of at least one year's duration 1064
that are available for persons sentenced by the court within the 1065
forty-five-day period specified in this division, the court may 1066
impose upon the offender a prison term under division 1067
(B)(1)(b)(iv) of this section.1068

       (d) A sentencing court may impose an additional penalty under 1069
division (B) of section 2929.15 of the Revised Code upon an 1070
offender sentenced to a community control sanction under division 1071
(B)(1)(a) of this section if the offender violates the conditions 1072
of the community control sanction, violates a law, or leaves the 1073
state without the permission of the court or the offender's 1074
probation officer.1075

       (2) If division (B)(1) of this section does not apply, except 1076
as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this section, in 1077
determining whether to impose a prison term as a sanction for a 1078
felony of the fourth or fifth degree, the sentencing court shall 1079
comply with the purposes and principles of sentencing under 1080
section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of 1081
the Revised Code.1082

       (C) Except as provided in division (D), (E), (F), or (G) of 1083
this section, in determining whether to impose a prison term as a 1084
sanction for a felony of the third degree or a felony drug offense 1085
that is a violation of a provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised 1086
Code and that is specified as being subject to this division for 1087
purposes of sentencing, the sentencing court shall comply with the 1088
purposes and principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the 1089
Revised Code and with section 2929.12 of the Revised Code.1090

       (D)(1) Except as provided in division (E) or (F) of this 1091
section, for a felony of the first or second degree, for a felony 1092
drug offense that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 1093
2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption 1094
in favor of a prison term is specified as being applicable, and 1095
for a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of section 2907.05 of 1096
the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a prison term 1097
is specified as being applicable, it is presumed that a prison 1098
term is necessary in order to comply with the purposes and 1099
principles of sentencing under section 2929.11 of the Revised 1100
Code. Division (D)(2) of this section does not apply to a 1101
presumption established under this division for a violation of 1102
division (A)(4) of section 2907.05 of the Revised Code.1103

       (2) Notwithstanding the presumption established under 1104
division (D)(1) of this section for the offenses listed in that 1105
division other than a violation of division (A)(4) or (B) of 1106
section 2907.05 of the Revised Code, the sentencing court may 1107
impose a community control sanction or a combination of community 1108
control sanctions instead of a prison term on an offender for a 1109
felony of the first or second degree or for a felony drug offense 1110
that is a violation of any provision of Chapter 2925., 3719., or 1111
4729. of the Revised Code for which a presumption in favor of a 1112
prison term is specified as being applicable if it makes both of 1113
the following findings:1114

       (a) A community control sanction or a combination of 1115
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender 1116
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable 1117
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a 1118
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors 1119
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.1120

       (b) A community control sanction or a combination of 1121
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of 1122
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of 1123
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was 1124
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are 1125
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that 1126
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious 1127
than conduct normally constituting the offense.1128

       (E)(1) Except as provided in divisiondivisions (F) and (M)1129
of this section, for any drug offense that is a violation of any 1130
provision of Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a 1131
felony of the third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of 1132
a presumption under division (D) of this section in favor of a 1133
prison term or of division (B) or (C) of this section in 1134
determining whether to impose a prison term for the offense shall 1135
be determined as specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 1136
2925.05, 2925.06, 2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 1137
2925.37 of the Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the 1138
violation.1139

       (2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to 1140
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction 1141
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive 1142
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation 1143
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned 1144
unless the court determines on the record either of the following:1145

       (a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the 1146
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug 1147
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program, 1148
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable 1149
period of participation in the program.1150

       (b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is 1151
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set 1152
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code.1153

       (3) A court that sentences an offender for a drug abuse 1154
offense that is a felony of the third, fourth, or fifth degree may 1155
require that the offender be assessed by a properly credentialed 1156
professional within a specified period of time. The court shall 1157
require the professional to file a written assessment of the 1158
offender with the court. If the offender is eligible for a 1159
community control sanction and after considering the written 1160
assessment, the court may impose a community control sanction that 1161
includes treatment and recovery support services authorized by 1162
section 3793.02 of the Revised Code. If the court imposes 1163
treatment and recovery support services as a community control 1164
sanction, the court shall direct the level and type of treatment 1165
and recovery support services after considering the assessment and 1166
recommendation of treatment and recovery support services 1167
providers.1168

       (F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, the 1169
court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections 2929.02 1170
to 2929.06, section 2929.14, section 2929.142, or section 2971.03 1171
of the Revised Code and except as specifically provided in section 1172
2929.20, divisions (C) to (I) of section 2967.19, or section 1173
2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is authorized for the 1174
offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised Code shall not reduce 1175
the term or terms pursuant to section 2929.20, section 2967.19, 1176
section 2967.193, or any other provision of Chapter 2967. or 1177
Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code for any of the following 1178
offenses:1179

       (1) Aggravated murder when death is not imposed or murder;1180

       (2) Any rape, regardless of whether force was involved and 1181
regardless of the age of the victim, or an attempt to commit rape 1182
if, had the offender completed the rape that was attempted, the 1183
offender would have been guilty of a violation of division 1184
(A)(1)(b) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code and would be 1185
sentenced under section 2971.03 of the Revised Code;1186

       (3) Gross sexual imposition or sexual battery, if the victim 1187
is less than thirteen years of age and if any of the following 1188

2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, 2925.37, 3719.99, or 1212

       (17) A felony violation of division (A) or (B) of section 1292

that section, and division (D)(6) of that section, require the 1294
imposition of a prison term;1295

       (18) A felony violation of section 2903.11, 2903.12, or 1296

violation, with respect to a portion of the sentence imposed 1299
pursuant to division (B)(8) of section 2929.14 of the Revised 1300
Code.1301

       (G) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section, if 1302
an offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree felony OVI 1303
offense or for a third degree felony OVI offense, the court shall 1304
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration 1305
or a mandatory prison term in accordance with the following:1306

       (1) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth degree 1307
felony OVI offense and if the offender has not been convicted of 1308
and has not pleaded guilty to a specification of the type 1309
described in section 2941.1413 of the Revised Code, the court may 1310
impose upon the offender a mandatory term of local incarceration 1311
of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in division 1312
(G)(1)(d) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. The court shall 1313
not reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.193, or any 1314
other provision of the Revised Code. The court that imposes a 1315
mandatory term of local incarceration under this division shall 1316
specify whether the term is to be served in a jail, a 1317
community-based correctional facility, a halfway house, or an 1318
alternative residential facility, and the offender shall serve the 1319
term in the type of facility specified by the court. A mandatory 1320
term of local incarceration imposed under division (G)(1) of this 1321
section is not subject to any other Revised Code provision that 1322
pertains to a prison term except as provided in division (A)(1) of 1323
this section.1324

       (2) If the offender is being sentenced for a third degree 1325
felony OVI offense, or if the offender is being sentenced for a 1326
fourth degree felony OVI offense and the court does not impose a 1327
mandatory term of local incarceration under division (G)(1) of 1328
this section, the court shall impose upon the offender a mandatory 1329
prison term of one, two, three, four, or five years if the 1330
offender also is convicted of or also pleads guilty to a 1331
specification of the type described in section 2941.1413 of the 1332
Revised Code or shall impose upon the offender a mandatory prison 1333
term of sixty days or one hundred twenty days as specified in 1334
division (G)(1)(d) or (e) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code 1335
if the offender has not been convicted of and has not pleaded 1336
guilty to a specification of that type. Subject to divisions (C) 1337
to (I) of section 2967.19 of the Revised Code, the court shall not 1338
reduce the term pursuant to section 2929.20, 2967.19, 2967.193, or 1339
any other provision of the Revised Code. The offender shall serve 1340
the one-, two-, three-, four-, or five-year mandatory prison term 1341
consecutively to and prior to the prison term imposed for the 1342
underlying offense and consecutively to any other mandatory prison 1343
term imposed in relation to the offense. In no case shall an 1344
offender who once has been sentenced to a mandatory term of local 1345
incarceration pursuant to division (G)(1) of this section for a 1346
fourth degree felony OVI offense be sentenced to another mandatory 1347
term of local incarceration under that division for any violation 1348
of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code. In 1349
addition to the mandatory prison term described in division (G)(2) 1350
of this section, the court may sentence the offender to a 1351
community control sanction under section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the 1352
Revised Code, but the offender shall serve the prison term prior 1353
to serving the community control sanction. The department of 1354
rehabilitation and correction may place an offender sentenced to a 1355
mandatory prison term under this division in an intensive program 1356
prison established pursuant to section 5120.033 of the Revised 1357
Code if the department gave the sentencing judge prior notice of 1358
its intent to place the offender in an intensive program prison 1359
established under that section and if the judge did not notify the 1360
department that the judge disapproved the placement. Upon the 1361
establishment of the initial intensive program prison pursuant to 1362
section 5120.033 of the Revised Code that is privately operated 1363
and managed by a contractor pursuant to a contract entered into 1364
under section 9.06 of the Revised Code, both of the following 1365
apply:1366

       (a) The department of rehabilitation and correction shall 1367
make a reasonable effort to ensure that a sufficient number of 1368
offenders sentenced to a mandatory prison term under this division 1369
are placed in the privately operated and managed prison so that 1370
the privately operated and managed prison has full occupancy.1371

       (b) Unless the privately operated and managed prison has full 1372
occupancy, the department of rehabilitation and correction shall 1373
not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term under 1374
this division in any intensive program prison established pursuant 1375
to section 5120.033 of the Revised Code other than the privately 1376
operated and managed prison.1377

       (H) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 1378
offense or child-victim oriented offense that is a felony 1379
committed on or after January 1, 1997, the judge shall require the 1380
offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection procedure pursuant 1381
to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code.1382

       (I) If an offender is being sentenced for a sexually oriented 1383
offense or a child-victim oriented offense committed on or after 1384
January 1, 1997, the judge shall include in the sentence a summary 1385
of the offender's duties imposed under sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 1386
2950.05, and 2950.06 of the Revised Code and the duration of the 1387
duties. The judge shall inform the offender, at the time of 1388
sentencing, of those duties and of their duration. If required 1389
under division (A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, the 1390
judge shall perform the duties specified in that section, or, if 1391
required under division (A)(6) of section 2950.03 of the Revised 1392
Code, the judge shall perform the duties specified in that 1393
division.1394

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this section, 1395
when considering sentencing factors under this section in relation 1396
to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an attempt 1397
to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of the 1398
Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors 1399
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section 1400
2923.02 of the Revised Code instead of the factors applicable to 1401
the felony category of the offense attempted.1402

       (2) When considering sentencing factors under this section in 1403
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an 1404
attempt to commit a drug abuse offense for which the penalty is 1405
determined by the amount or number of unit doses of the controlled 1406
substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court 1407
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that 1408
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse 1409
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of 1410
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next 1411
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in 1412
the attempt.1413

       (K) As used in this section:1414

       (1) "Drug abuse offense" has the same meaning as in section 1415
2925.01 of the Revised Code.1416

       (2) "Qualifying assault offense" means a violation of section 1417
2903.13 of the Revised Code for which the penalty provision in 1418
division (C)(8)(b) or (C)(9)(b) of that section applies.1419

       (L) At the time of sentencing an offender for any sexually 1420
oriented offense, if the offender is a tier III sex 1421
offender/child-victim offender relative to that offense and the 1422
offender does not serve a prison term or jail term, the court may 1423
require that the offender be monitored by means of a global 1424
positioning device. If the court requires such monitoring, the 1425
cost of monitoring shall be borne by the offender. If the offender 1426
is indigent, the cost of compliance shall be paid by the crime 1427
victims reparations fund.1428

       (M) This section shall not apply to a violation of section 1429
2925.11 of the Revised Code if a sentencing court directly imposes 1430
a community control sanction pursuant to division (A)(1)(b) of 1431
section 2929.15 of the Revised Code. 1432

       Sec. 2929.15.  (A)(1) If(a) Except as provided in divisions 1433
(A)(1)(b) and (c) of this section, if in sentencing an offender 1434
for a felony the court is not required to impose a prison term, a 1435
mandatory prison term, or a term of life imprisonment upon the 1436
offender, the court may directly impose a sentence that consists 1437
of one or more community control sanctions authorized pursuant to 1438
section 2929.16, 2929.17, or 2929.18 of the Revised Code. If the 1439
court is sentencing an offender for a fourth degree felony OVI 1440
offense under division (G)(1) of section 2929.13 of the Revised 1441
Code, in addition to the mandatory term of local incarceration 1442
imposed under that division and the mandatory fine required by 1443
division (B)(3) of section 2929.18 of the Revised Code, the court 1444
may impose upon the offender a community control sanction or 1445
combination of community control sanctions in accordance with 1446
sections 2929.16 and 2929.17 of the Revised Code. If the court is 1447
sentencing an offender for a third or fourth degree felony OVI 1448
offense under division (G)(2) of section 2929.13 of the Revised 1449
Code, in addition to the mandatory prison term or mandatory prison 1450
term and additional prison term imposed under that division, the 1451
court also may impose upon the offender a community control 1452
sanction or combination of community control sanctions under 1453
section 2929.16 or 2929.17 of the Revised Code, but the offender 1454
shall serve all of the prison terms so imposed prior to serving 1455
the community control sanction.1456

       (b)(i) In sentencing an offender for a felony violation of 1457
section 2925.11 of the Revised Code, the sentencing court shall 1458
directly impose a sentence that consists of the community control 1459
sanction authorized by division (D) of section 2929.17 of the 1460
Revised Code if the court is not required to impose a mandatory 1461
prison term, the offender has filed a motion with the court that 1462
requests the court to directly impose a sentence that consists of 1463
the community control sanction authorized by that division, and 1464
the violation is the offender's first or second violation 1465
sentenced under this division.1466

       (ii) The sentencing court may directly impose a sentence that 1467
consists of the community control sanction authorized by division 1468
(D) of section 2929.17 of the Revised Code for a subsequent felony 1469
violation of section 2925.11 of the Revised Code if the offender 1470
has filed a motion with the court that requests the court to place 1471
the offender in a drug treatment program. If the sentencing court 1472
does not impose the community control sanction for a subsequent 1473
violation, the court shall sentence the offender under section 1474
2929.14 of the Revised Code. 1475

       (iii) The term of the community control sanction imposed 1476
under division (A)(1)(b)(i) or (ii) of this section shall not 1477
exceed eighteen months.1478

       (c) An offender shall not be sentenced to a drug treatment 1479
program under division (A)(1)(b) of this section if the offender 1480
either was convicted of or pleaded guilty to an offense of 1481
violence in the five years preceding the sentencing or was 1482
convicted of or pleaded guilty to any of the following offenses 1483
committed during the same event or related events as the violation 1484
of section 2925.11 of the Revised Code:1485

       (i) A felony violation of a different offense;1486

       (ii) An offense of violence;1487

       (iii) A theft offense; 1488

       (iv) A violation of section 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.041, 1489
2925.05, or 4511.19 of the Revised Code.1490

       (d) If an offender is sentenced under division (A)(1)(b) of 1491
this section for two or more violations of section 2925.11 of the 1492
Revised Code committed by the offender during the same event or 1493
related events, the violations shall be considered a single 1494
violation.1495

       (e) The duration of all community control sanctions imposed 1496
upon an offender under this division and division (B) of this 1497
section shall not exceed five years. If the offender absconds or 1498
otherwise leaves the jurisdiction of the court in which the 1499
offender resides without obtaining permission from the court or 1500
the offender's probation officer to leave the jurisdiction of the 1501
court, or if the offender is confined in any institution for the 1502
commission of any offense while under a community control 1503
sanction, the period of the community control sanction ceases to 1504
run until the offender is brought before the court for its further 1505
action. If the court sentences the offender to one or more 1506
nonresidential sanctions under section 2929.17 of the Revised 1507
Code, the court shall impose as a condition of the nonresidential 1508
sanctions that, during the period of the sanctions, the offender 1509
must abide by the law and must not leave the state without the 1510
permission of the court or the offender's probation officer. The1511
Except when the court imposes a community control sanction under 1512
division (A)(1)(b) of this section, the court may impose any other 1513
conditions of release under a community control sanction that the 1514
court considers appropriate, including, but not limited to, 1515
requiring that the offender not ingest or be injected with a drug 1516
of abuse and submit to random drug testing as provided in division 1517
(D) of this section to determine whether the offender ingested or 1518
was injected with a drug of abuse and requiring that the results 1519
of the drug test indicate that the offender did not ingest or was 1520
not injected with a drug of abuse.1521

       (2)(a) If a court sentences an offender to any community 1522
control sanction or combination of community control sanctions 1523
authorized pursuant to section 2929.16, 2929.17, or 2929.18 of the 1524
Revised Code, the court shall place the offender under the general 1525
control and supervision of a department of probation in the county 1526
that serves the court for purposes of reporting to the court a 1527
violation of any condition of the sanctions, any condition of 1528
release under a community control sanction imposed by the court, a 1529
violation of law, or the departure of the offender from this state 1530
without the permission of the court or the offender's probation 1531
officer. Alternatively, if the offender resides in another county 1532
and a county department of probation has been established in that 1533
county or that county is served by a multicounty probation 1534
department established under section 2301.27 of the Revised Code, 1535
the court may request the court of common pleas of that county to 1536
receive the offender into the general control and supervision of 1537
that county or multicounty department of probation for purposes of 1538
reporting to the court a violation of any condition of the 1539
sanctions, any condition of release under a community control 1540
sanction imposed by the court, a violation of law, or the 1541
departure of the offender from this state without the permission 1542
of the court or the offender's probation officer, subject to the 1543
jurisdiction of the trial judge over and with respect to the 1544
person of the offender, and to the rules governing that department 1545
of probation.1546

       If there is no department of probation in the county that 1547
serves the court, the court shall place the offender, regardless 1548
of the offender's county of residence, under the general control 1549
and supervision of the adult parole authority for purposes of 1550
reporting to the court a violation of any of the sanctions, any 1551
condition of release under a community control sanction imposed by 1552
the court, a violation of law, or the departure of the offender 1553
from this state without the permission of the court or the 1554
offender's probation officer.1555

       (b) If the court imposing sentence upon an offender sentences 1556
the offender to any community control sanction or combination of 1557
community control sanctions authorized pursuant to section 1558
2929.16, 2929.17, or 2929.18 of the Revised Code, and if the 1559
offender violates any condition of the sanctions, any condition of 1560
release under a community control sanction imposed by the court, 1561
violates any law, or departs the state without the permission of 1562
the court or the offender's probation officer, the public or 1563
private person or entity that operates or administers the sanction 1564
or the program or activity that comprises the sanction shall 1565
report the violation or departure directly to the sentencing 1566
court, or shall report the violation or departure to the county or 1567
multicounty department of probation with general control and 1568
supervision over the offender under division (A)(2)(a) of this 1569
section or the officer of that department who supervises the 1570
offender, or, if there is no such department with general control 1571
and supervision over the offender under that division, to the 1572
adult parole authority. If the public or private person or entity 1573
that operates or administers the sanction or the program or 1574
activity that comprises the sanction reports the violation or 1575
departure to the county or multicounty department of probation or 1576
the adult parole authority, the department's or authority's 1577
officers may treat the offender as if the offender were on 1578
probation and in violation of the probation, and shall report the 1579
violation of the condition of the sanction, any condition of 1580
release under a community control sanction imposed by the court, 1581
the violation of law, or the departure from the state without the 1582
required permission to the sentencing court.1583

       (3) If an offender who is eligible for community control 1584
sanctions under this section admits to being drug addicted or the 1585
court has reason to believe that the offender is drug addicted, 1586
and if the offense for which the offender is being sentenced was 1587
related to the addiction, the court may require that the offender 1588
be assessed by a properly credentialed professional within a 1589
specified period of time and shall require the professional to 1590
file a written assessment of the offender with the court. If a 1591
court imposes treatment and recovery support services as a 1592
community control sanction, the court shall direct the level and 1593
type of treatment and recovery support services after 1594
consideration of the written assessment, if available at the time 1595
of sentencing, and recommendations of the professional and other 1596
treatment and recovery support services providers.1597

        (4) If an assessment completed pursuant to division (A)(3) of 1598
this section indicates that the offender is addicted to drugs or 1599
alcohol, the court may include in any community control sanction 1600
imposed for a violation of section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 1601
2925.05, 2925.06, 2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 1602
2925.37 of the Revised Code a requirement that the offender 1603
participate in a treatment and recovery support services program 1604
certified under section 5119.36 of the Revised Code or offered by 1605
another properly credentialed community addiction services 1606
provider.1607

       (5) Divisions (A)(3) and (4) of this section do not apply if 1608
an offender is sentenced pursuant to division (A)(1)(b) of this 1609
section.1610

       (B)(1) If the conditions of a community control sanction are 1611
violated or if the offender violates a law or leaves the state 1612
without the permission of the court or the offender's probation 1613
officer, the sentencing court may impose upon the violator one or 1614
more of the following penalties:1615

       (a) A longer time under the same sanction if the total time 1616
under the sanctions does not exceed the five-year limit specified 1617
in division (A) of this section;1618

       (b) A more restrictive sanction under section 2929.16, 1619
2929.17, or 2929.18 of the Revised Code;1620

       (c) A prison term on the offender pursuant to section 2929.14 1621
of the Revised Code. 1622

       (2) The prison term, if any, imposed upon a violator pursuant 1623
to this division shall be within the range of prison terms 1624
available for the offense for which the sanction that was violated 1625
was imposed and shall not exceed the prison term specified in the 1626
notice provided to the offender at the sentencing hearing pursuant 1627
to division (B)(2)(4) of section 2929.19 of the Revised Code. The 1628
court may reduce the longer period of time that the offender is 1629
required to spend under the longer sanction, the more restrictive 1630
sanction, or a prison term imposed pursuant to this division by 1631
the time the offender successfully spent under the sanction that 1632
was initially imposed.1633

       (C) If an offender, for a significant period of time, 1634
fulfills the conditions of a sanction imposed pursuant to section 1635
2929.16, 2929.17, or 2929.18 of the Revised Code in an exemplary 1636
manner, the court may reduce the period of time under the sanction 1637
or impose a less restrictive sanction, but the court shall not 1638
permit the offender to violate any law or permit the offender to 1639
leave the state without the permission of the court or the 1640
offender's probation officer.1641

       (D)(1) If a court under division (A)(1)(a) of this section 1642
imposes a condition of release under a community control sanction 1643
that requires the offender to submit to random drug testing, the 1644
department of probation or the adult parole authority that has 1645
general control and supervision of the offender under division 1646
(A)(2)(a) of this section may cause the offender to submit to 1647
random drug testing performed by a laboratory or entity that has 1648
entered into a contract with any of the governmental entities or 1649
officers authorized to enter into a contract with that laboratory 1650
or entity under section 341.26, 753.33, or 5120.63 of the Revised 1651
Code.1652

       (2) If no laboratory or entity described in division (D)(1) 1653
of this section has entered into a contract as specified in that 1654
division, the department of probation or the adult parole 1655
authority that has general control and supervision of the offender 1656
under division (A)(2)(a) of this section shall cause the offender 1657
to submit to random drug testing performed by a reputable public 1658
laboratory to determine whether the individual who is the subject 1659
of the drug test ingested or was injected with a drug of abuse.1660

       (3) A laboratory or entity that has entered into a contract 1661
pursuant to section 341.26, 753.33, or 5120.63 of the Revised Code 1662
shall perform the random drug tests under division (D)(1) of this 1663
section in accordance with the applicable standards that are 1664
included in the terms of that contract. A public laboratory shall 1665
perform the random drug tests under division (D)(2) of this 1666
section in accordance with the standards set forth in the policies 1667
and procedures established by the department of rehabilitation and 1668
correction pursuant to section 5120.63 of the Revised Code. An 1669
offender who is required under division (A)(1) of this section to 1670
submit to random drug testing as a condition of release under a 1671
community control sanction and whose test results indicate that 1672
the offender ingested or was injected with a drug of abuse shall 1673
pay the fee for the drug test if the department of probation or 1674
the adult parole authority that has general control and 1675
supervision of the offender requires payment of a fee. A 1676
laboratory or entity that performs the random drug testing on an 1677
offender under division (D)(1) or (2) of this section shall 1678
transmit the results of the drug test to the appropriate 1679
department of probation or the adult parole authority that has 1680
general control and supervision of the offender under division 1681
(A)(2)(a) of this section.1682

       (E) As used in this section, "theft offense" has the same 1683
meaning as in section 2913.01 of the Revised Code.1684

       Sec. 2929.19.  (A) The court shall hold a sentencing hearing 1685
before imposing a sentence under this chapter upon an offender who 1686
was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a felony and before 1687
resentencing an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to 1688
a felony and whose case was remanded pursuant to section 2953.07 1689
or 2953.08 of the Revised Code. At the hearing, the offender, the 1690
prosecuting attorney, the victim or the victim's representative in 1691
accordance with section 2930.14 of the Revised Code, and, with the 1692
approval of the court, any other person may present information 1693
relevant to the imposition of sentence in the case. The court 1694
shall inform the offender of the verdict of the jury or finding of 1695
the court and ask the offender whether the offender has anything 1696
to say as to why sentence should not be imposed upon the offender.1697

       (B)(1) At the sentencing hearing, the court, before imposing 1698
sentence, shall consider the record, any information presented at 1699
the hearing by any person pursuant to division (A) of this 1700
section, and, if one was prepared, the presentence investigation 1701
report made pursuant to section 2951.03 of the Revised Code or 1702
Criminal Rule 32.2, and any victim impact statement made pursuant 1703
to section 2947.051 of the Revised Code.1704

       (2) Subject to division (B)(3) of this section, if the 1705
sentencing court determines at the sentencing hearing that a 1706
prison term is necessary or required, the court shall do all of 1707
the following:1708

       (a) Impose a stated prison term and, if the court imposes a 1709
mandatory prison term, notify the offender that the prison term is 1710
a mandatory prison term;1711

       (b) In addition to any other information, include in the 1712
sentencing entry the name and section reference to the offense or 1713
offenses, the sentence or sentences imposed and whether the 1714
sentence or sentences contain mandatory prison terms, if sentences 1715
are imposed for multiple counts whether the sentences are to be 1716
served concurrently or consecutively, and the name and section 1717
reference of any specification or specifications for which 1718
sentence is imposed and the sentence or sentences imposed for the 1719
specification or specifications;1720

       (c) Notify the offender that the offender will be supervised 1721
under section 2967.28 of the Revised Code after the offender 1722
leaves prison if the offender is being sentenced for a felony of 1723
the first degree or second degree, for a felony sex offense, or 1724
for a felony of the third degree that is not a felony sex offense 1725
and in the commission of which the offender caused or threatened 1726
to cause physical harm to a person. This division applies with 1727
respect to all prison terms imposed for an offense of a type 1728
described in this division, including a term imposed for any such 1729
offense that is a risk reduction sentence, as defined in section 1730
2967.28 of the Revised Code. If a court imposes a sentence 1731
including a prison term of a type described in division (B)(2)(c) 1732
of this section on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a court 1733
to notify the offender pursuant to division (B)(2)(c) of this 1734
section that the offender will be supervised under section 2967.28 1735
of the Revised Code after the offender leaves prison or to include 1736
in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal a statement 1737
to that effect does not negate, limit, or otherwise affect the 1738
mandatory period of supervision that is required for the offender 1739
under division (B) of section 2967.28 of the Revised Code. Section 1740
2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, prior to July 11, 2006, a 1741
court imposed a sentence including a prison term of a type 1742
described in division (B)(2)(c) of this section and failed to 1743
notify the offender pursuant to division (B)(2)(c) of this section 1744
regarding post-release control or to include in the judgment of 1745
conviction entered on the journal or in the sentence a statement 1746
regarding post-release control.1747

       (d) Notify the offender that the offender may be supervised 1748
under section 2967.28 of the Revised Code after the offender 1749
leaves prison if the offender is being sentenced for a felony of 1750
the third, fourth, or fifth degree that is not subject to division 1751
(B)(2)(c) of this section. This division applies with respect to 1752
all prison terms imposed for an offense of a type described in 1753
this division, including a term imposed for any such offense that 1754
is a risk reduction sentence, as defined in section 2967.28 of the 1755
Revised Code. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code applies if, 1756
prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a 1757
prison term of a type described in division (B)(2)(d) of this 1758
section and failed to notify the offender pursuant to division 1759
(B)(2)(d) of this section regarding post-release control or to 1760
include in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal or in 1761
the sentence a statement regarding post-release control.1762

       (e) Notify the offender that, if a period of supervision is 1763
imposed following the offender's release from prison, as described 1764
in division (B)(2)(c) or (d) of this section, and if the offender 1765
violates that supervision or a condition of post-release control 1766
imposed under division (B) of section 2967.131 of the Revised 1767
Code, the parole board may impose a prison term, as part of the 1768
sentence, of up to one-half of the stated prison term originally 1769
imposed upon the offender. If a court imposes a sentence including 1770
a prison term on or after July 11, 2006, the failure of a court to 1771
notify the offender pursuant to division (B)(2)(e) of this section 1772
that the parole board may impose a prison term as described in 1773
division (B)(2)(e) of this section for a violation of that 1774
supervision or a condition of post-release control imposed under 1775
division (B) of section 2967.131 of the Revised Code or to include 1776
in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal a statement 1777
to that effect does not negate, limit, or otherwise affect the 1778
authority of the parole board to so impose a prison term for a 1779
violation of that nature if, pursuant to division (D)(1) of 1780
section 2967.28 of the Revised Code, the parole board notifies the 1781
offender prior to the offender's release of the board's authority 1782
to so impose a prison term. Section 2929.191 of the Revised Code 1783
applies if, prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence 1784
including a prison term and failed to notify the offender pursuant 1785
to division (B)(2)(e) of this section regarding the possibility of 1786
the parole board imposing a prison term for a violation of 1787
supervision or a condition of post-release control.1788

       (f) Require that the offender not ingest or be injected with 1789
a drug of abuse and submit to random drug testing as provided in 1790
section 341.26, 753.33, or 5120.63 of the Revised Code, whichever 1791
is applicable to the offender who is serving a prison term, and 1792
require that the results of the drug test administered under any 1793
of those sections indicate that the offender did not ingest or was 1794
not injected with a drug of abuse.1795

       (g)(i) Determine, notify the offender of, and include in the 1796
sentencing entry the number of days that the offender has been 1797
confined for any reason arising out of the offense for which the 1798
offender is being sentenced and by which the department of 1799
rehabilitation and correction must reduce the stated prison term 1800
under section 2967.191 of the Revised Code. The court's 1801
calculation shall not include the number of days, if any, that the 1802
offender previously served in the custody of the department of 1803
rehabilitation and correction arising out of the offense for which 1804
the prisoner was convicted and sentenced.1805

        (ii) In making a determination under division (B)(2)(g)(i) of 1806
this section, the court shall consider the arguments of the 1807
parties and conduct a hearing if one is requested.1808

       (iii) The sentencing court retains continuing jurisdiction to 1809
correct any error not previously raised at sentencing in making a 1810
determination under division (B)(2)(g)(i) of this section. The 1811
offender may, at any time after sentencing, file a motion in the 1812
sentencing court to correct any error made in making a 1813
determination under division (B)(2)(g)(i) of this section, and the 1814
court may in its discretion grant or deny that motion. If the 1815
court changes the number of days in its determination or 1816
redetermination, the court shall cause the entry granting that 1817
change to be delivered to the department of rehabilitation and 1818
correction without delay. Sections 2931.15 and 2953.21 of the 1819
Revised Code do not apply to a motion made under this section.1820

        (iv) An inaccurate determination under division (B)(2)(g)(i) 1821
of this section is not grounds for setting aside the offender's 1822
conviction or sentence and does not otherwise render the sentence 1823
void or voidable.1824

       (3)(a) The court shall include in the offender's sentence a 1825
statement that the offender is a tier III sex 1826
offender/child-victim offender, and the court shall comply with 1827
the requirements of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code if any of 1828
the following apply:1829

       (i) The offender is being sentenced for a violent sex offense 1830
or designated homicide, assault, or kidnapping offense that the 1831
offender committed on or after January 1, 1997, and the offender 1832

offense.1842

       (iv) The offender is being sentenced under section 2971.03 of 1843

parole under division (B) of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code.1847

       (vi) The offender is being sentenced for attempted rape 1848
committed on or after January 2, 2007, and a specification of the 1849
type described in section 2941.1418, 2941.1419, or 2941.1420 of 1850
the Revised Code.1851

       (vii) The offender is being sentenced under division 1852
(B)(3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of section 2971.03 of the Revised Code 1853

January 1, 2008.1855

       (b) Additionally, if any criterion set forth in divisions 1856
(B)(3)(a)(i) to (vii) of this section is satisfied, in the 1857
circumstances described in division (E) of section 2929.14 of the 1858
Revised Code, the court shall impose sentence on the offender as 1859
described in that division.1860

       (4) If the sentencing court determines at the sentencing 1861
hearing that a community control sanction should be imposed and 1862
the court is not prohibited from imposing a community control 1863
sanction, the court shall impose a community control sanction. If 1864
the sentencing court determines at the sentencing hearing that the 1865
court is required to impose a community control sanction under 1866
division (A)(1)(b) of section 2929.15 of the Revised Code, the 1867
court shall impose the community control sanction specified in 1868
division (A)(1)(b)(i) of that section. The court shall notify the 1869
offender that, if the conditions of theany sanction imposed under 1870
this division are violated, if the offender commits a violation of 1871
any law, or if the offender leaves this state without the 1872
permission of the court or the offender's probation officer, the 1873
court may impose a longer time under the same sanction, may impose 1874
a more restrictive sanction, or may impose a prison term on the 1875
offender and shall indicate the specific prison term that may be 1876
imposed as a sanction for the violation, as selected by the court 1877
from the range of prison terms for the offense pursuant to section 1878
2929.14 of the Revised Code.1879

       (5) Before imposing a financial sanction under section 1880
2929.18 of the Revised Code or a fine under section 2929.32 of the 1881
Revised Code, the court shall consider the offender's present and 1882
future ability to pay the amount of the sanction or fine.1883

       (6) If the sentencing court sentences the offender to a 1884
sanction of confinement pursuant to section 2929.14 or 2929.16 of 1885
the Revised Code that is to be served in a local detention 1886
facility, as defined in section 2929.36 of the Revised Code, and 1887

       (a) The court shall specify both of the following as part of 1893
the sentence:1894

offender as described in that section.1903

       (b) The sentence automatically includes any certificate of 1904
judgment issued as described in division (B)(6)(a)(ii) of this 1905

prison term is a mandatory prison term pursuant to division 1908
(B)(2)(a) of this section or to include in the sentencing entry 1909
any information required by division (B)(2)(b) of this section 1910
does not affect the validity of the imposed sentence or sentences. 1911
If the sentencing court notifies the offender at the sentencing 1912
hearing that a prison term is mandatory but the sentencing entry 1913
does not specify that the prison term is mandatory, the court may 1914
complete a corrected journal entry and send copies of the 1915
corrected entry to the offender and the department of 1916

conditions of the community control sanctions are violated the 2019
court may do any of the following:2020

       (b) Impose a more restrictive community control sanction 2025

       (B)(1) If a court sentences an offender to any community 2045
control sanction or combination of community control sanctions 2046
pursuant to division (A)(1)(a) of this section, the sentencing 2047
court retains jurisdiction over the offender and the period of 2048
community control for the duration of the period of community 2049
control. Upon the motion of either party or on the court's own 2050
motion, the court, in the court's sole discretion and as the 2051
circumstances warrant, may modify the community control sanctions 2052
or conditions of release previously imposed, substitute a 2053

control and supervision of the court or of a department of 2066
probation in the jurisdiction that serves the court for purposes 2067
of reporting to the court a violation of any of the conditions of 2068
the sanctions imposed. If the offender resides in another 2069
jurisdiction and a department of probation has been established to 2070
serve the municipal court or county court in that jurisdiction, 2071
the sentencing court may request the municipal court or the county 2072
court to receive the offender into the general control and 2073
supervision of that department of probation for purposes of 2074
reporting to the sentencing court a violation of any of the 2075
conditions of the sanctions imposed. The sentencing court retains 2076
jurisdiction over any offender whom it sentences for the duration 2077
of the sanction or sanctions imposed.2078

       (2) The sentencing court shall require as a condition of any 2079
community control sanction that the offender abide by the law and 2080
not leave the state without the permission of the court or the 2081
offender's probation officer. In the interests of doing justice, 2082
rehabilitating the offender, and ensuring the offender's good 2083
behavior, the court may impose additional requirements on the 2084
offender. The offender's compliance with the additional 2085
requirements also shall be a condition of the community control 2086
sanction imposed upon the offender.2087

       (D)(1) If the court imposing sentence upon an offender 2088
sentences the offender to any community control sanction or 2089
combination of community control sanctions authorized under 2090
section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code, and if 2091
the offender violates any of the conditions of the sanctions, the 2092
public or private person or entity that supervises or administers 2093
the program or activity that comprises the sanction shall report 2094
the violation directly to the sentencing court or to the 2095
department of probation or probation officer with general control 2096
and supervision over the offender. If the public or private person 2097
or entity reports the violation to the department of probation or 2098
probation officer, the department or officer shall report the 2099
violation to the sentencing court.2100

       (2) If an offender violates any condition of a community 2101
control sanction, the sentencing court may impose upon the 2102
violator one or more of the following penalties:2103

       (a) A longer time under the same community control sanction 2104
if the total time under all of the community control sanctions 2105
imposed on the violator does not exceed the five-year limit 2106
specified in division (A)(2)(3) of this section;2107

       (b) A more restrictive community control sanction;2108

       (c) A combination of community control sanctions, including a 2109
jail term. 2110

       (3) If the court imposes a jail term upon a violator pursuant 2111
to division (D)(2) of this section, the total time spent in jail 2112
for the misdemeanor offense and the violation of a condition of 2113
the community control sanction shall not exceed the maximum jail 2114
term available for the offense for which the sanction that was 2115
violated was imposed. The court may reduce the longer period of 2116
time that the violator is required to spend under the longer 2117
sanction or the more restrictive sanction imposed under division 2118
(D)(2) of this section by all or part of the time the violator 2119
successfully spent under the sanction that was initially imposed.2120

       (E) Except as otherwise provided in this division, if an 2121
offender, for a significant period of time, fulfills the 2122
conditions of a community control sanction imposed pursuant to 2123
section 2929.26, 2929.27, or 2929.28 of the Revised Code in an 2124
exemplary manner, the court may reduce the period of time under 2125
the community control sanction or impose a less restrictive 2126
community control sanction. Fulfilling the conditions of a 2127
community control sanction does not relieve the offender of a duty 2128
to make restitution under section 2929.28 of the Revised Code.2129

       (F) As used in this section, "theft offense" has the same 2130
meaning as in section 2913.01 of the Revised Code.2131

       Section 2.  That existing sections 2152.16, 2152.19, 2925.11, 2132
2929.13, 2929.15, 2929.19, and 2929.25 of the Revised Code are 2133
hereby repealed.2134

       Section 3.  Section 2929.19 of the Revised Code is presented 2135
in this act as a composite of the section as amended by both Am. 2136
Sub. H.B. 487 and Am. Sub. S.B. 337 of the 129th General Assembly. 2137
The General Assembly, applying the principle stated in division 2138
(B) of section 1.52 of the Revised Code that amendments are to be 2139
harmonized if reasonably capable of simultaneous operation, finds 2140
that the composite is the resulting version of the section in 2141
effect prior to the effective date of the section as presented in 2142
this act.2143
