BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

amended and section 3109.90 of the Revised Code be enacted to read 12
as follows: 13

       Sec. 2151.353.  (A) If a child is adjudicated an abused, 14
neglected, or dependent child, subject to section 3109.90 of the 15
Revised Code, the court may make any of the following orders of 16
disposition:17

       (1) Place the child in protective supervision;18

       (2) Commit the child to the temporary custody of a public 19
children services agency, a private child placing agency, either 20
parent, a relative residing within or outside the state, or a 21
probation officer for placement in a certified foster home, or in 22
any other home approved by the court;23

       (3) Award legal custody of the child to either parent or to 24
any other person who, prior to the dispositional hearing, files a 25
motion requesting legal custody of the child or is identified as a 26
proposed legal custodian in a complaint or motion filed prior to 27
the dispositional hearing by any party to the proceedings. A 28
person identified in a complaint or motion filed by a party to the 29
proceedings as a proposed legal custodian shall be awarded legal 30
custody of the child only if the person identified signs a 31
statement of understanding for legal custody that contains at 32
least the following provisions:33

       (a) That it is the intent of the person to become the legal 34
custodian of the child and the person is able to assume legal 35
responsibility for the care and supervision of the child;36

       (b) That the person understands that legal custody of the 37
child in question is intended to be permanent in nature and that 38
the person will be responsible as the custodian for the child 39
until the child reaches the age of majority. Responsibility as 40
custodian for the child shall continue beyond the age of majority 41
if, at the time the child reaches the age of majority, the child 42
is pursuing a diploma granted by the board of education or other 43
governing authority, successful completion of the curriculum of 44
any high school, successful completion of an individualized 45
education program developed for the student by any high school, or 46
an age and schooling certificate. Responsibility beyond the age of 47
majority shall terminate when the child ceases to continuously 48
pursue such an education, completes such an education, or is 49
excused from such an education under standards adopted by the 50
state board of education, whichever occurs first.51

       (c) That the parents of the child have residual parental 52
rights, privileges, and responsibilities, including, but not 53
limited to, the privilege of reasonable visitation, consent to 54
adoption, the privilege to determine the child's religious 55
affiliation, and the responsibility for support;56

       (d) That the person understands that the person must be 57
present in court for the dispositional hearing in order to affirm 58
the person's intention to become legal custodian, to affirm that 59
the person understands the effect of the custodianship before the 60
court, and to answer any questions that the court or any parties 61
to the case may have.62

       (4) Commit the child to the permanent custody of a public 63
children services agency or private child placing agency, if the 64
court determines in accordance with division (E) of section 65
2151.414 of the Revised Code that the child cannot be placed with 66
one of the child's parents within a reasonable time or should not 67
be placed with either parent and determines in accordance with 68
division (D)(1) of section 2151.414 of the Revised Code that the 69
permanent commitment is in the best interest of the child. If the 70
court grants permanent custody under this division, the court, 71
upon the request of any party, shall file a written opinion 72
setting forth its findings of fact and conclusions of law in 73
relation to the proceeding.74

       (5) Place the child in a planned permanent living arrangement 75
with a public children services agency or private child placing 76
agency, if a public children services agency or private child 77
placing agency requests the court to place the child in a planned 78
permanent living arrangement and if the court finds, by clear and 79
convincing evidence, that a planned permanent living arrangement 80
is in the best interest of the child and that one of the following 81
exists:82

       (a) The child, because of physical, mental, or psychological 83
problems or needs, is unable to function in a family-like setting 84
and must remain in residential or institutional care now and for 85
the foreseeable future beyond the date of the dispositional 86
hearing held pursuant to section 2151.35 of the Revised Code.87

       (b) The parents of the child have significant physical, 88
mental, or psychological problems and are unable to care for the 89
child because of those problems, adoption is not in the best 90
interest of the child, as determined in accordance with division 91
(D)(1) of section 2151.414 of the Revised Code, and the child 92
retains a significant and positive relationship with a parent or 93
relative.94

       (c) The child is sixteen years of age or older, has been 95
counseled on the permanent placement options available to the 96
child, is unwilling to accept or unable to adapt to a permanent 97
placement, and is in an agency program preparing the child for 98
independent living.99

       (6) Order the removal from the child's home until further 100
order of the court of the person who committed abuse as described 101
in section 2151.031 of the Revised Code against the child, who 102
caused or allowed the child to suffer neglect as described in 103
section 2151.03 of the Revised Code, or who is the parent, 104
guardian, or custodian of a child who is adjudicated a dependent 105
child and order any person not to have contact with the child or 106
the child's siblings.107

       (B) No order for permanent custody or temporary custody of a 108
child or the placement of a child in a planned permanent living 109
arrangement shall be made pursuant to this section unless the 110
complaint alleging the abuse, neglect, or dependency contains a 111
prayer requesting permanent custody, temporary custody, or the 112
placement of the child in a planned permanent living arrangement 113
as desired, the summons served on the parents of the child 114
contains as is appropriate a full explanation that the granting of 115
an order for permanent custody permanently divests them of their 116
parental rights, a full explanation that an adjudication that the 117
child is an abused, neglected, or dependent child may result in an 118
order of temporary custody that will cause the removal of the 119
child from their legal custody until the court terminates the 120
order of temporary custody or permanently divests the parents of 121
their parental rights, or a full explanation that the granting of 122
an order for a planned permanent living arrangement will result in 123
the removal of the child from their legal custody if any of the 124
conditions listed in divisions (A)(5)(a) to (c) of this section 125
are found to exist, and the summons served on the parents contains 126
a full explanation of their right to be represented by counsel and 127
to have counsel appointed pursuant to Chapter 120. of the Revised 128
Code if they are indigent.129

       If after making disposition as authorized by division (A)(2) 130
of this section, a motion is filed that requests permanent custody 131
of the child, the court may grant permanent custody of the child 132
to the movant in accordance with section 2151.414 of the Revised 133
Code.134

       (C) If the court issues an order for protective supervision 135
pursuant to division (A)(1) of this section, the court may place 136
any reasonable restrictions upon the child, the child's parents, 137
guardian, or custodian, or any other person, including, but not 138
limited to, any of the following:139

       (1) Order a party, within forty-eight hours after the 140
issuance of the order, to vacate the child's home indefinitely or 141
for a specified period of time;142

       (2) Order a party, a parent of the child, or a physical 143
custodian of the child to prevent any particular person from 144
having contact with the child;145

       (3) Issue an order restraining or otherwise controlling the 146
conduct of any person which conduct would not be in the best 147
interest of the child.148

       (D) As part of its dispositional order, the court shall 149
journalize a case plan for the child. The journalized case plan 150
shall not be changed except as provided in section 2151.412 of the 151
Revised Code.152

       (E)(1) The court shall retain jurisdiction over any child for 153
whom the court issues an order of disposition pursuant to division 154
(A) of this section or pursuant to section 2151.414 or 2151.415 of 155
the Revised Code until the child attains the age of eighteen years 156
if the child is not mentally retarded, developmentally disabled, 157
or physically impaired, the child attains the age of twenty-one 158
years if the child is mentally retarded, developmentally disabled, 159
or physically impaired, or the child is adopted and a final decree 160
of adoption is issued, except that the court may retain 161
jurisdiction over the child and continue any order of disposition 162
under division (A) of this section or under section 2151.414 or 163
2151.415 of the Revised Code for a specified period of time to 164
enable the child to graduate from high school or vocational 165
school. The court shall make an entry continuing its jurisdiction 166
under this division in the journal.167

       (2) Any public children services agency, any private child 168
placing agency, the department of job and family services, or any 169
party, other than any parent whose parental rights with respect to 170
the child have been terminated pursuant to an order issued under 171
division (A)(4) of this section, by filing a motion with the 172
court, may at any time request the court to modify or terminate 173
any order of disposition issued pursuant to division (A) of this 174
section or section 2151.414 or 2151.415 of the Revised Code. The 175
court shall hold a hearing upon the motion as if the hearing were 176
the original dispositional hearing and shall give all parties to 177
the action and the guardian ad litem notice of the hearing 178
pursuant to the Juvenile Rules. If applicable, the court shall 179
comply with section 2151.42 of the Revised Code.180

       (F) Any temporary custody order issued pursuant to division 181
(A) of this section shall terminate one year after the earlier of 182
the date on which the complaint in the case was filed or the child 183
was first placed into shelter care, except that, upon the filing 184
of a motion pursuant to section 2151.415 of the Revised Code, the 185
temporary custody order shall continue and not terminate until the 186
court issues a dispositional order under that section. In 187
resolving the motion, the court shall not order an existing 188
temporary custody order to continue beyond two years after the 189
date on which the complaint was filed or the child was first 190
placed into shelter care, whichever date is earlier, regardless of 191
whether any extensions have been previously ordered pursuant to 192
division (D) of section 2151.415 of the Revised Code.193

       (G)(1) No later than one year after the earlier of the date 194
the complaint in the case was filed or the child was first placed 195

children services agency or private child placing agency requests 203
termination of the order, the agency shall file a written status 204
report setting out the facts supporting termination of the order 205
at the time it files the request with the court. If no party 206
requests extension or termination of the order, the court shall 207
notify the parties that the court will extend the order for six 208
months or terminate it and that it may do so without a hearing 209
unless one of the parties requests a hearing. All parties and the 210
guardian ad litem shall have seven days from the date a notice is 211

on the proposed extension or termination.213

       (a) If it receives a timely request for a hearing, the court 214
shall schedule a hearing to be held no later than thirty days 215
after the request is received by the court. The court shall give 216
notice of the date, time, and location of the hearing to all 217
parties and the guardian ad litem. At the hearing, the court shall 218
determine whether extension or termination of the order is in the 219
child's best interest. If termination is in the child's best 220
interest, the court shall terminate the order. If extension is in 221
the child's best interest, the court shall extend the order for 222
six months.223

       (b) If it does not receive a timely request for a hearing, 224
the court may extend the order for six months or terminate it 225
without a hearing and shall journalize the order of extension or 226
termination not later than fourteen days after receiving the 227
request for extension or termination or after the date the court 228
notifies the parties that it will extend or terminate the order. 229
If the court does not extend or terminate the order, it shall 230
schedule a hearing to be held no later than thirty days after the 231
expiration of the applicable fourteen-day time period and give 232
notice of the date, time, and location of the hearing to all 233
parties and the child's guardian ad litem. At the hearing, the 234
court shall determine whether extension or termination of the 235
order is in the child's best interest. If termination is in the 236
child's best interest, the court shall terminate the order. If 237
extension is in the child's best interest, the court shall issue 238
an order extending the order for protective supervision six 239
months.240

       (2) If the court grants an extension of the order for 241
protective supervision pursuant to division (G)(1) of this 242
section, a party may, prior to termination of the extension, file 243
with the court a request for an additional extension of six months 244
or for termination of the order. The court and the parties shall 245
comply with division (G)(1) of this section with respect to 246
extending or terminating the order.247

(G)(2) of this section, the court shall terminate the order for 249
protective supervision at the end of the extension.250

       (H) The court shall not issue a dispositional order pursuant 251
to division (A) of this section that removes a child from the 252
child's home unless the court complies with section 2151.419 of 253
the Revised Code and includes in the dispositional order the 254
findings of fact required by that section.255

       (I) If a motion or application for an order described in 256
division (A)(6) of this section is made, the court shall not issue 257

adult who commits the same act. 448

       A period of house arrest with electronic monitoring or 449
continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic monitoring and 450
continuous alcohol monitoring, imposed under this division shall 451

it shall require the child: to remain in the child's home or other 456
specified premises for the entire period of house arrest with 457
electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring or both 458

agreeing to comply with all requirements imposed by the court, 465
agreeing to pay any fee imposed by the court for the costs of the 466
house arrest with electronic monitoring, and agreeing to waive the 467
right to receive credit for any time served on house arrest with 468
electronic monitoring toward the period of any other dispositional 469
order imposed upon the child if the child violates any of the 470
requirements of the dispositional order of house arrest with 471
electronic monitoring. The court also may impose other reasonable 472
requirements upon the child. 473

       Unless ordered by the court, a child shall not receive credit 474
for any time served on house arrest with electronic monitoring or 475
continuous alcohol monitoring or both toward any other 476
dispositional order imposed upon the child for the act for which 477
was imposed the dispositional order of house arrest with 478
electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring. As used in 479

facility described in division (A)(2) or (3) of this section 507
unless the court determines that the child violated a lawful court 508
order made pursuant to division (C)(1)(e) of section 2151.354 of 509
the Revised Code or division (A)(6) of this section. 510

       (b) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a 511

care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at 515
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, do 516
either or both of the following: 517

       (b) A community corrections facility, if the child would be 532
covered by the definition of public safety beds for purposes of 533
sections 5139.41 to 5139.43 of the Revised Code if the court 534
exercised its authority to commit the child to the legal custody 535
of the department of youth services for institutionalization or 536
institutionalization in a secure facility pursuant to this 537
chapter. 538

       (B) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child, in addition 539

committing an act that if committed by an adult would be a drug 554
abuse offense or for violating division (B) of section 2917.11 of 555
the Revised Code, suspend the child's license, permit, or 556
privilege for a period of time prescribed by the court. The court, 557
in its discretion, may terminate the suspension if the child 558
attends and satisfactorily completes a drug abuse or alcohol abuse 559
education, intervention, or treatment program specified by the 560
court. During the time the child is attending a program described 561
in this division, the court shall retain the child's temporary 562
instruction permit, probationary driver's license, or driver's 563
license, and the court shall return the permit or license if it 564
terminates the suspension as described in this division. 565

       (C) The court may establish a victim-offender mediation 566
program in which victims and their offenders meet to discuss the 567

the court may require the child to participate in the program. 570

       (D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for 571
committing an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult 572
and if the child caused, attempted to cause, threatened to cause, 573
or created a risk of physical harm to the victim of the act, the 574
court, prior to issuing an order of disposition under this 575
section, shall order the preparation of a victim impact statement 576
by the probation department of the county in which the victim of 577
the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a 578
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county, 579
a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity. The court 580
shall consider the victim impact statement in determining the 581
order of disposition to issue for the child. 582

       (2) Each victim impact statement shall identify the victim of 583
the act for which the child was adjudicated a delinquent child, 584
itemize any economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of 585
the act, identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a 586
result of the act and the seriousness and permanence of the 587
injury, identify any change in the victim's personal welfare or 588
familial relationships as a result of the act and any 589
psychological impact experienced by the victim or the victim's 590
family as a result of the act, and contain any other information 591
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the court 592
requires. 593

       (3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and 594
is not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of 595
the statement to the department of youth services if the 596
delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the 597
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's 598
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact 599
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to 600
this section shall be kept confidential and is not a public 601
record. If an officer is preparing pursuant to section 2947.06 or 602
2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 a presentence 603
investigation report pertaining to a person, the court shall make 604
available to the officer, for use in preparing the report, a copy 605
of any victim impact statement regarding that person. The copies 606
of a victim impact statement that are made available to the 607
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's 608
counsel and the prosecuting attorney pursuant to this division 609
shall be returned to the court by the person to whom they were 610
made available immediately following the imposition of an order of 611
disposition for the child under this chapter. 612

chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been 621
adjudicated an unruly child for being a habitual truant and the 622
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having 623
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at 624

addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section, 626
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having 627
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as 628
an unruly or delinquent child for being a habitual or chronic 629
truant may result in a criminal charge against the parent, 630
guardian, or other person having care of the child for a violation 631
of division (C) of section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the 632
Revised Code. 633

child has a right, title, or interest or for which the delinquent 641
child has the express or implied permission of a person with a 642
right, title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the 643
probation officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the 644
delinquent child is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not 645
complying with the conditions of the delinquent child's community 646
control. The court that places a delinquent child on community 647
control under this section shall provide the delinquent child with 648
a written notice that informs the delinquent child that authorized 649
probation officers who are engaged within the scope of their 650
supervisory duties or responsibilities may conduct those types of 651
searches during the period of community control if they have 652
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is not 653
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the 654
conditions of the delinquent child's community control. The court 655
also shall provide the written notice described in division (E)(2) 656
of this section to each parent, guardian, or custodian of the 657
delinquent child who is described in that division. 658

(E)(1) of this section. The notice shall specifically state that a 663
permissible search might extend to a motor vehicle, another item 664
of tangible or intangible personal property, or a place of 665
residence or other real property in which a notified parent, 666
guardian, or custodian has a right, title, or interest and that 667
the parent, guardian, or custodian expressly or impliedly permits 668
the child to use, occupy, or possess. 669
