taken a concentration of less than the applicable concentration of179
alcohol specified for a violation of division (A)(2), (3), (4), or180
(5) of this section or less than the applicable concentration of a 181
listed controlled substance or a listed metabolite of a controlled 182
substance specified for a violation of division (A)(6) of this 183
section, that fact may be considered with other competent evidence184
in determining the guilt or innocence of the defendant or in 185
making an adjudication for the child. This division does not limit 186

or a qualified technician, chemist, or phlebotomist of the195
person's own choosing administer a chemical test or tests in196
addition to any administered at the direction of a law enforcement197
officer, and shall be so advised. The failure or inability to198
obtain an additional test by a person shall not preclude the199
admission of evidence relating to the test or tests taken at the200
direction of a law enforcement officer.201

administered a field sobriety test to the operator or person found205
to be in physical control of the vessel underway involved in the206
violation or the person manipulating the water skis, aquaplane, or207
similar device involved in the violation and if it is shown by208
clear and convincing evidence that the officer administered the209
test in substantial compliance with the testing standards for210
reliable, credible, and generally accepted field sobriety tests211
for vehicles that were in effect at the time the tests were212
administered, including, but not limited to, any testing standards213
then in effect that have been set by the national highway traffic214
safety administration, that by their nature are not clearly215
inapplicable regarding the operation or physical control of216
vessels underway or the manipulation of water skis, aquaplanes, or217
similar devices, all of the following apply:218

        (a) The officer may testify concerning the results of the219
field sobriety test so administered.220

give it whatever weight the trier of fact considers to be228
appropriate.229

        (2) Division (E)(1) of this section does not limit or230
preclude a court, in its determination of whether the arrest of a231
person was supported by probable cause or its determination of any232
other matter in a criminal prosecution or juvenile court233
proceeding of a type described in that division, from considering234
evidence or testimony that is not otherwise disallowed by division235
(E)(1) of this section.236

criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding for a violation238
of this section or for an equivalent violation, the court shall239
admit as prima-facie evidence a laboratory report from any240
forensic laboratory certified by the department of health that241
contains an analysis of the whole blood, blood serum or plasma,242
breath, urine, or other bodily substance tested and that contains243
all of the information specified in this division. The laboratory244
report shall contain all of the following:245

admission of evidence, a report of the type described in division264
(F)(1) of this section is not admissible against the defendant or265
child to whom it pertains in any proceeding, other than a266
preliminary hearing or a grand jury proceeding, unless the267

child's attorney or, if the defendant or child has no attorney, on269
the defendant or child.270

       (3) A report of the type described in division (F)(1) of this271

defendant's or child's attorney receives a copy of the report, the275
defendant or child or the defendant's or child's attorney demands276
the testimony of the person who signed the report. The judge in277
the case may extend the seven-day time limit in the interest of278
justice.279

       (G) Except as otherwise provided in this division, any280

petitioner shall notify the chief of the filing of the petition433
and send the chief a copy of the petition.434

       The scope of the hearing is limited to the issues of whether435

sentence or the placement of an offender in any treatment program 621
in lieu of being imprisoned or serving a jail term, no court, 622
except as specifically authorized by division (G)(1) of this 623
section, shall suspend the mandatory jail term of three 624
consecutive days required to be imposed by division (G)(1) of this 625
section or place an offender who is sentenced pursuant to division 626

the violation is not related to a collision, injury to a person,649
or damage to property and a misdemeanor of the third degree if the650

       Sec. 2951.02.  (A) During the period of a misdemeanor 1609
offender's community control sanction or during the period of a 1610
felony offender's nonresidential sanction, authorized probation 1611
officers who are engaged within the scope of their supervisory 1612
duties or responsibilities may search, with or without a warrant,1613
the person of the offender, the place of residence of the 1614
offender, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or 1615
intangible personal property, or other real property in which the 1616
offender has a right, title, or interest or for which the offender 1617
has the express or implied permission of a person with a right,1618
title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the probation 1619
officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the offender is 1620
not abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the 1621
conditions of the misdemeanor offender's community control 1622
sanction or the conditions of the felony offender's nonresidential 1623
sanction. If a felony offender who is sentenced to a 1624
nonresidential sanction is under the general control and1625
supervision of the adult parole authority, as described in1626
division (A)(2)(a) of section 2929.15 of the Revised Code, adult1627

over the felony offender shall have the same search authority 1629
relative to the felony offender during the period of the sanction 1630
that is described under this division for probation officers. The 1631

or that sentences the felony offender to a nonresidential sanction 1634
pursuant to section 2929.17 of the Revised Code shall provide the 1635
offender with a written notice that informs the offender that 1636
authorized probation officers or adult parole authority field 1637
officers with supervisory responsibilities over the offender who 1638
are engaged within the scope of their supervisory duties or 1639
responsibilities may conduct those types of searches during the 1640
period of community control sanction or the nonresidential 1641
sanction if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the 1642
offender is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying 1643
with the conditions of the offender's community control sanction 1644
or nonresidential sanction.1645

        (B) If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a 1646
misdemeanor, the court may require the offender, as a condition of 1647
the offender's sentence of a community control sanction, to 1648
perform supervised community service work in accordance with this1649
division. If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a1650
felony, the court, pursuant to sections 2929.15 and 2929.17 of the1651
Revised Code, may impose a sanction that requires the offender to1652
perform supervised community service work in accordance with this1653
division. The supervised community service work shall be under the1654
authority of health districts, park districts, counties, municipal1655
corporations, townships, other political subdivisions of the1656
state, or agencies of the state or any of its political1657
subdivisions, or under the authority of charitable organizations1658
that render services to the community or its citizens, in1659
accordance with this division. The court may require an offender 1660
who is ordered to perform the work to pay to it a reasonable fee 1661
to cover the costs of the offender's participation in the work, 1662
including, but not limited to, the costs of procuring a policy or 1663
policies of liability insurance to cover the period during which 1664
the offender will perform the work.1665

       A court may permit any offender convicted of a felony or a1666
misdemeanor to satisfy the payment of a fine imposed for the1667
offense pursuant to section 2929.18 or 2929.28 of the Revised Code1668
by performing supervised community service work as described in1669
this division if the offender requests an opportunity to satisfy1670
the payment by this means and if the court determines that the1671
offender is financially unable to pay the fine.1672

       The supervised community service work that may be imposed1673
under this division shall be subject to the following limitations:1674

       (1) The court shall fix the period of the work and, if1675
necessary, shall distribute it over weekends or over other1676
appropriate times that will allow the offender to continue at the1677
offender's occupation or to care for the offender's family. The1678
period of the work as fixed by the court shall not exceed in the1679
aggregate the number of hours of community service imposed by the 1680
court pursuant to section 2929.17 or 2929.27 of the Revised Code.1681

       (2) An agency, political subdivision, or charitable1682
organization must agree to accept the offender for the work before1683
the court requires the offender to perform the work for the1684
entity. A court shall not require an offender to perform1685
supervised community service work for an agency, political1686
subdivision, or charitable organization at a location that is an1687
unreasonable distance from the offender's residence or domicile,1688
unless the offender is provided with transportation to the1689
location where the work is to be performed.1690

       (3) A court may enter into an agreement with a county1691
department of job and family services for the management,1692
placement, and supervision of offenders eligible for community1693
service work in work activities, developmental activities, and1694
alternative work activities under sections 5107.40 to 5107.69 of1695
the Revised Code. If a court and a county department of job and1696
family services have entered into an agreement of that nature, the1697
clerk of that court is authorized to pay directly to the county1698
department all or a portion of the fees collected by the court1699
pursuant to this division in accordance with the terms of its1700
agreement.1701

       (4) Community service work that a court requires under this1702
division shall be supervised by an official of the agency,1703
political subdivision, or charitable organization for which the1704
work is performed or by a person designated by the agency,1705
political subdivision, or charitable organization. The official or 1706
designated person shall be qualified for the supervision by1707
education, training, or experience, and periodically shall report,1708
in writing, to the court and to the offender's probation officer1709
concerning the conduct of the offender in performing the work.1710

        (5) The total of any period of supervised community service 1711

order is supported by reliable evidence. The registrar shall adopt 1911
rules to implement this division.1912

receipt of a report from a court, court clerk, or other official2139
of any other state or from any federal authority that a resident2140

date of the notice, and that, if the child wishes to appeal the2220
suspension, the child must file a notice of appeal within2221
twenty-one days of the date of the notice requesting a hearing on2222
the matter. If the child requests a hearing, the registrar shall2223
hold the hearing not more than forty days after receipt by the2224

appeal does not stay the operation of the suspension that must be2226
imposed pursuant to this division. The scope of the hearing shall2227
be limited to whether the child actually was convicted of or2228
pleaded guilty to the offense for which the suspension is to be2229

order to facilitate the exchange of information with other states2248

the date of the notice requesting a hearing on the matter. If the2272
child requests a hearing, the registrar shall hold the hearing not2273
more than forty days after receipt by the registrar of the notice2274

operation of the suspension that must be imposed pursuant to this2276
division. The scope of the hearing shall be limited to whether the 2277
child actually was convicted of or pleaded guilty to the offense 2278
for which the suspension is to be imposed.2279

       The suspension the registrar is required to impose under this2280
division shall end either on the last day of the class D2281

county court, or in case the person is under eighteen years of 2296
age, the juvenile court, in whose jurisdiction the person resides, 2297
agreeing to pay the cost of the proceedings and alleging that the 2298
suspension would seriously affect the person's ability to continue 2299
the person's employment. Upon satisfactory proof that there is 2300
reasonable cause to believe that the suspension would seriously 2301
affect the person's ability to continue the person's employment, 2302
the judge may grant the person limited driving privileges during 2303
the period during which the suspension otherwise would be imposed, 2304
except that the judge shall not grant limited driving privileges 2305
for employment as a driver of a commercial motor vehicle to any2306
person who would be disqualified from operating a commercial motor2307
vehicle under section 4506.16 of the Revised Code if the violation2308

identified in division (E)(1) of this section.2346

       In granting limited driving privileges under division (E) of2362
this section, the court may impose any condition it considers2363

present oral or written information relevant to the motion. The2463
court shall afford a similar opportunity to provide relevant2464

representative.2466

       Before ruling on the motion, the court shall take into2467
account the person's driving record, the nature of the offense2468
that led to the suspension, and the impact of the offense on any2469
victim. In addition, if the offender is eligible for modification2470
or termination of the suspension under division (A)(2) of this2471
section, the court shall consider whether the person committed any2472
other offense while under suspension and determine whether the2473
offense is relevant to a determination under this section. The2474
court may modify or terminate the suspension subject to any2475
considerations it considers proper if it finds that allowing the2476
person to drive is not likely to present a danger to the public. 2477
After the court makes a ruling on a motion filed under this2478
section, the prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim or the2479
victim's representative of the court's ruling.2480
