addresses, and telephone numbers of the appropriate persons and	829
entities to whom the notices described in divisions (A)(2) to (7)	830
and (11) of this section are to be provided. Upon receipt of a	831
request, the department or board shall provide the requesting	832
sheriff or designee with the names, addresses, and telephone	833
numbers of the appropriate persons and entities to whom those	834
notices are to be provided.	835

(5) The department of health shall compile, maintain, and	836
update in January and July of each year, a list of all long-term	837
care facilities that contains the name of each long-term care	838
facility, the county in which it is located, and its address and	839
telephone number.	840

(H)(1) Upon the motion of the offender or the prosecuting	841
attorney of the county in which the offender was convicted of or	842
pleaded guilty to the sexually oriented offense or child-victim	843
oriented offense for which the offender is subject to community	844
notification under this section, or upon the motion of the	845
sentencing judge or that judge's successor in office, the judge	846
may schedule a hearing to determine whether the interests of	847
justice would be served by suspending the community notification	848
requirement under this section in relation to the offender. The	849
judge may dismiss the motion without a hearing but may not issue	850
an order suspending the community notification requirement without	851
a hearing. At the hearing, all parties are entitled to be heard,	852
and the judge shall consider all of the factors set forth in	853
division (K) of this section. If, at the conclusion of the	854
hearing, the judge finds that the offender has proven by clear	855
and convincing evidence that the offender is unlikely to commit	856
in the future a sexually oriented offense or a child-victim	857
oriented offense and if the judge finds that suspending the	858
community notification requirement is in the interests of	859
justice, the judge may suspend the application of this section in	860
relation to the offender. The order shall contain both of these	861
findings.	862

The judge promptly shall serve a copy of the order upon the	863
sheriff with whom the offender most recently registered under	864
section 2950.04, 2950.041, or 2950.05 of the Revised Code and upon	865
the bureau of criminal identification and investigation.	866

with sections 2950.04, 2950.041, 2950.05, and 2950.06 of the	869

community notification requirement under this section may	874
initially make a motion under division (H)(1) of this section upon	875
the expiration of twenty years after the offender's duty to comply	876
with division (A)(2), (3), or (4) of section 2950.04, division	877
(A)(2), (3), or (4) of section 2950.041 and sections 2950.05 and	878
2950.06 of the Revised Code begins in relation to the offense for	879
which the offender is subject to community notification. After	880
the initial making of a motion under division (H)(1) of this	881
section, thereafter, the prosecutor, judge, and offender may make	882
a subsequent motion under that division upon the expiration of	883
five years after the judge has entered an order denying the	884
initial motion or the most recent motion made under that	885
division.	886
