A BILL
To amend section 2152.19 of the Revised Code to
require that any privately run non-Ohio school,
camp, institution, or other facility to which Ohio
delinquent children are committed comply with the
same standards that are applicable to in-state
schools, camps, institutions, or other facilities.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 2152.19 of the Revised Code be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 2152.19. (A) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent
child,
the court may make any of the following orders of
disposition, in
addition to any other disposition authorized or
required by this
chapter:
(1) Any
order that is authorized by section 2151.353 of the
Revised Code for the care and protection of an abused,
neglected,
or
dependent child;
(2) Commit the child to the temporary custody of any school,
camp, institution, or other facility operated for the care of
delinquent
children by the county, by a district organized under
section
2152.41 or 2151.65 of the Revised Code, or by a private
agency or organization, within or without the state, that is
authorized and
qualified to provide the care, treatment, or
placement required, including, but not limited to, a school, camp,
or facility operated under section 2151.65 of the Revised Code;. A
child also may be committed to the temporary custody of any
school, camp, institution, or other facility for the care of
delinquent children that is located outside of this state and that
is operated by a private agency or organization. Any such
school,
camp, institution, or other facility that is located
outside of
this state shall comply with all standards established
under the
Revised Code or rule that are applicable to a school,
camp,
institution, or other facility operated within this state.
No
public money shall be expended for the commitment of a child to
the temporary custody of any school, camp, institution, or other
facility that is located outside of this state that does not
comply with those standards.
(3)
Place the child in a detention
facility or district
detention facility operated under section
2152.41 of the Revised
Code, for up to ninety days;
(4) Place the child on community control under any
sanctions,
services,
and conditions that the court prescribes. As
a
condition
of
community control in every case and in addition to
any other
condition that it imposes upon the child, the court
shall require
the child
to abide by the law during the period of
community
control. As
referred to in this division, community
control
includes, but is
not limited to, the following sanctions
and
conditions:
(a) A period of basic probation supervision in which the
child is required to maintain contact with a person appointed to
supervise the
child in accordance with sanctions
imposed by the
court;
(b) A period of intensive probation supervision in which
the
child is required to maintain frequent contact with a person
appointed by
the court to supervise
the child while the child is
seeking or maintaining employment and
participating in training,
education, and treatment programs as
the order of disposition;
(c) A period of day reporting in which the child is
required
each day to report to and leave a center or another approved
reporting location at specified
times in order to participate in
work, education or training,
treatment, and other approved
programs at the center or outside
the center;
(d) A period of community service of up to five hundred
hours
for an act that would be a felony or a misdemeanor of the
first
degree
if committed by an adult,
up to two hundred hours for
an
act that would be a misdemeanor of the second,
third, or fourth
degree
if committed by an adult, or up to thirty hours for an act
that
would be a minor misdemeanor if committed by an adult;
(e) A requirement that the child obtain a high school
diploma, a
certificate of high school equivalence, vocational
training, or
employment;
(f) A period of drug and alcohol use monitoring;
(g) A requirement of alcohol or drug assessment or
counseling, or a period in an alcohol or drug treatment program
with a level
of security for the child
as determined necessary by
the court;
(h) A period in which the court orders the child to
observe
a
curfew that may involve daytime or evening hours;
(i) A requirement that the child serve monitored time;
(j) A period of house arrest without electronic
monitoring or
continuous alcohol monitoring;
(k) A period of electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol
monitoring without house arrest,
or
house arrest with electronic
monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic
monitoring and continuous alcohol monitoring, that does not exceed
the
maximum
sentence of imprisonment
that could be imposed upon an
adult who commits the same act.
A period of house arrest with electronic monitoring or
continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic monitoring and
continuous alcohol monitoring, imposed
under
this division shall
not extend beyond the child's
twenty-first birthday. If a
court
imposes a period of
house arrest with electronic monitoring or
continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic monitoring and
continuous alcohol monitoring, upon a
child under this
division,
it shall require the child: to remain in the child's
home or
other
specified premises for the entire period of
house arrest with
electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring or both
except when the court
permits the child to
leave those premises to
go to school or to
other specified
premises. Regarding electronic
monitoring, the court also shall require the child to be monitored
by a central system that
can determine
the child's location at
designated times; to report
periodically
to a person designated by
the court; and to enter
into a written
contract with the court
agreeing to comply with all
requirements
imposed by the court,
agreeing to pay any fee imposed
by the court
for the costs of the
house
arrest with electronic monitoring, and
agreeing to waive the
right to receive credit for any
time served
on house arrest with
electronic monitoring toward the
period of any
other dispositional
order imposed upon the child if
the child
violates any of the
requirements of the dispositional
order of
house arrest with
electronic monitoring. The court also
may impose
other reasonable
requirements upon the child.
Unless ordered by the court, a child shall not receive credit
for any time
served on
house arrest with electronic monitoring
or
continuous alcohol monitoring or both toward any other
dispositional
order imposed upon the child for
the act for which
was imposed the
dispositional order of
house arrest with
electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring. As used in
this division and division (A)(4)(l) of this section, "continuous
alcohol monitoring" has the same meaning as in section 2929.01 of
the Revised Code.
(l) A suspension of the driver's license, probationary
driver's
license, or temporary instruction permit issued to the
child
for a period of time prescribed by the court, or a
suspension
of the
registration of all motor vehicles
registered in
the name of the child
for a period of time prescribed by the
court. A child whose license or
permit is so suspended is
ineligible for issuance of a license or
permit during the period
of suspension. At the end of the period
of suspension, the child
shall not be reissued a license or permit
until the child has paid
any applicable reinstatement fee and
complied with all
requirements governing license reinstatement.
(5) Commit the child to the custody of the
court;
(6)
Require the child to not be absent without legitimate
excuse from
the public school the child is supposed to attend for
five or more
consecutive days, seven or more school days in one
school month, or
twelve or more school days in a school year;
(7)(a) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for
being
a
chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has
been
adjudicated an
unruly child for being a
habitual truant, do
either
or both of the following:
(i) Require the child to participate in a truancy prevention
mediation program;
(ii) Make any order of disposition as authorized by this
section,
except that the court shall not commit the child to a
facility described
in division (A)(2)
or (3) of this section
unless the
court
determines that the child violated a lawful court
order made
pursuant to
division (C)(1)(e) of section 2151.354 of
the
Revised
Code
or division (A)(6) of this section.
(b) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a
chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been
adjudicated an
unruly child for being a
habitual truant and the
court determines that the parent,
guardian, or other person having
care of the child has failed to
cause the child's attendance at
school in violation of section
3321.38 of the Revised Code, do
either or both of the
following:
(i) Require the parent, guardian, or other person having
care
of
the child to participate in a truancy prevention mediation
program;
(ii) Require the parent, guardian, or other person having
care of
the child to participate in any community service program,
preferably a
community service program that
requires the
involvement of the parent, guardian, or other person
having care
of the child in the school attended by the child.
(8) Make any further disposition that the court finds
proper,
except that the child shall not be placed in any of the
following:
(a) A state correctional institution, a county, multicounty,
or
municipal jail or workhouse, or another place in which an adult
convicted of a crime, under arrest, or charged with a crime is
held;
(b) A community corrections facility, if the child would be
covered by the definition of public safety beds for purposes of
sections
5139.41 to 5139.43 of the Revised Code if the court
exercised its authority to commit the child to the legal custody
of the
department of youth services for institutionalization
or
institutionalization in a secure facility pursuant to this
chapter.
(B) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child, in
addition
to
any order of disposition made under division (A) of
this
section, the
court, in
the following situations
and for the
specified periods of time, shall
suspend the child's temporary
instruction
permit, restricted
license, probationary driver's
license, or nonresident
operating
privilege, or suspend the
child's ability to obtain such a permit:
(1)
If the child is adjudicated a delinquent child for
violating
section 2923.122 of the Revised Code,
impose a class
four suspension of the
child's license, permit, or privilege from
the range specified in
division (A)(4) of section 4510.02 of the
Revised Code or deny the
child the issuance of a license or permit
in accordance with
division
(F)(1) of section 2923.122 of
the
Revised Code.
(2)
If the child is adjudicated a delinquent child for
committing an
act that if committed by an adult would be a drug
abuse offense
or for violating
division (B) of section 2917.11 of
the Revised
Code,
suspend the child's license, permit, or
privilege for a period of time prescribed by the court. The court,
in its discretion, may terminate the suspension
if the child
attends and
satisfactorily completes a drug abuse or
alcohol abuse
education,
intervention, or treatment program
specified by the
court. During
the time the child is attending
a program
described
in this division, the
court shall retain
the child's
temporary
instruction permit, probationary
driver's license, or
driver's
license, and the
court shall return the permit or
license
if it
terminates the
suspension as described in this
division.
(C) The court may establish a victim-offender mediation
program
in which victims and their offenders meet to discuss the
offense and suggest
possible restitution. If the court obtains
the
assent of the victim of the delinquent act committed by the
child,
the court may require the child to participate in the
program.
(D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for
committing an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult
and if the
child caused, attempted to cause, threatened to
cause,
or created a risk of physical harm to the victim of the
act, the
court, prior to issuing an order of disposition under
this
section, shall order the preparation of a victim impact
statement
by the probation department of the county in which the
victim of
the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county,
a municipal
corporation, or another governmental entity. The court
shall
consider the victim impact statement in determining the
order of
disposition to issue for the child.
(2) Each victim impact statement shall identify the victim
of
the
act for which the child was adjudicated a delinquent child,
itemize any
economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of
the act,
identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a
result of
the act and the seriousness and permanence of the
injury, identify
any change in the victim's personal welfare or
familial
relationships as a result of the act and any
psychological impact
experienced by the victim or the victim's
family as a result of the act, and
contain any other
information
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the
court
requires.
(3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and
is
not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of
the statement
to the department of youth services if the
delinquent child
is committed to the department or to both the
adjudicated
delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's
counsel and
the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact
statement
furnished by the court to the department pursuant to
this section
shall be kept confidential and is not a public
record.
If an officer is preparing pursuant to section 2947.06 or
2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 a presentence
investigation report pertaining to a person, the court shall make
available to the officer, for use in preparing the report, a copy
of any victim impact statement regarding that person. The copies
of a victim
impact statement that are made
available to the
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated
delinquent child's
counsel and the
prosecuting attorney pursuant
to this division
shall be returned to the
court by the person to
whom they were
made available
immediately following the imposition
of an order of
disposition for the
child under this chapter.
The copy of a victim impact statement that is made available
pursuant to this division to an officer preparing a criminal
presentence investigation report shall be returned to the court by
the officer immediately following its use in preparing the report.
(4) The department of youth services shall work with local
probation departments and victim assistance programs to develop a
standard victim impact statement.
(E) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a
chronic
truant or a habitual truant who previously has been
adjudicated an
unruly child for being a habitual truant and the
court determines that
the parent, guardian, or other person having
care of the child has
failed to cause the child's attendance at
school in violation of
section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in
addition to any
order of
disposition it makes under this section,
the court shall warn the
parent, guardian, or other person having
care of the child that
any subsequent adjudication of the child as
an unruly or
delinquent child for being a habitual or chronic
truant may
result in a criminal charge against the parent,
guardian, or other
person having care of the child for a violation
of division (C) of
section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the
Revised Code.
(F)(1) During the period of a delinquent child's community
control granted under this section, authorized probation officers
who are
engaged within the scope of their supervisory duties
or
responsibilities may search, with or without a warrant, the
person
of the delinquent child, the place of residence of the
delinquent
child, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or
intangible
personal property, or other real property in which the
delinquent
child has a right, title, or interest or for which the
delinquent
child has the express or implied permission of a person with a
right, title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the
probation officers
have reasonable grounds to believe that the
delinquent child is not abiding by
the law or otherwise is not
complying with the conditions of the
delinquent child's community
control. The court that places a
delinquent child on community
control under this section shall
provide the delinquent child with
a written notice that informs
the delinquent child that authorized
probation officers who are
engaged within the scope of their
supervisory duties or responsibilities may
conduct those types of
searches during the period of community control if they
have
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is
not
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the
conditions of the delinquent child's community control. The court
also shall provide the written notice described in division
(E)(2)
of this section to each
parent, guardian, or custodian of the
delinquent child who is described in
that
division.
(2) The court that places a child on community control under
this
section shall provide the child's parent, guardian, or other
custodian
with a written notice that informs them that authorized
probation
officers may conduct searches pursuant to division
(E)(1) of this
section. The notice shall specifically state that
a
permissible
search might extend to a motor vehicle, another item
of tangible
or intangible personal property, or a place of
residence or other
real property in which a notified parent,
guardian, or custodian
has a right, title, or interest and that
the parent, guardian, or
custodian expressly or impliedly permits
the child to use, occupy,
or possess.
(G) If a juvenile court commits a delinquent child to the
custody of any person, organization, or entity pursuant to this
section and if the delinquent act for which the child is so
committed is a sexually oriented offense or is a child-victim
oriented offense, the court in the order
of disposition
shall do
one of the following:
(1) Require that the child be provided treatment as
described
in division (A)(2) of section 5139.13 of the Revised
Code;
(2) Inform the person, organization, or entity
that it is
the
preferred course of action in this state that the
child be
provided treatment as described in division (A)(2) of
section
5139.13
of the Revised Code and encourage the
person,
organization,
or entity to provide that treatment.
Section 2. That existing section 2152.19 of the Revised Code
is hereby repealed.
