respect to that offense for ten years after the offender initially
enrolls in the database. The presumption is a rebuttable presumption
that the violent offender may rebut as provided in division (A)(4) of
this section, after filing a motion in accordance with division
(A)(2)(a) or (b) of this section, whichever is applicable. Each
violent offender shall be informed of the presumption established
under this division, of the offender's right to file a motion to
rebut the presumption, of the procedure and criteria for rebutting
the presumption, and of the effect of a rebuttal and the
post-rebuttal hearing procedures and possible outcome, as follows:
(a)
If the person is classified a violent offender under division (A)(1)
or

offender for the offense that so classifies the person shall inform
the offender before sentencing of the presumption, the right, and the
procedure, criteria, and possible outcome.
(b)
If the person is classified a violent offender under division (A)(2)
of section 2903.41 of the Revised Code, the official in charge of the
jail, workhouse, state correctional institution, or other institution
in which the offender is serving a prison term, term of imprisonment,
or other term of confinement for the offense, or the official's
designee, shall inform the offender in writing, a reasonable period
of time before the offender is released from the confinement, of the
presumption, the right, and the procedure, criteria, and possible
outcome.
(2)
A violent offender who wishes to rebut the presumption established
under division (A)(1) of this section shall file a motion in
accordance with whichever of the following is applicable, and shall
serve a copy of the motion on the prosecutor:
(a)
If the person is classified a violent offender under division (A)(1)
or (3)
of section 2903.41 of the Revised Code, the offender shall file the
motion with the court that is sentencing the offender for the offense
that classifies the person a violent offender. The motion shall
assert that the offender was not the principal offender in the
commission of that offense and request that the court not require the
offender to enroll in the violent offender database and not have all
VOD duties with respect to that offense. The motion shall be filed
prior to or at the time of sentencing.
(b)
If the person is classified a violent offender under division (A)(2)
of section 2903.41 of the Revised Code, the offender shall file the
motion with the court that sentenced the offender for the offense
that classifies the person a violent offender. The motion shall
assert that the offender was not the principal offender in the
commission of that offense and request that the court not require the
offender to enroll in the violent offender database and not have all
VOD duties with respect to that offense. The motion shall be filed
prior to the time of the person's release from confinement in the
jail, workhouse, state correctional institution, or other institution
under the prison term, term of imprisonment, or other term of
confinement for the offense listed in division (A)(1) of section
2903.41 of the Revised Code.
(3)
If a violent offender does not file a motion under division (A)(2)(a)
or (b) of this section, the violent offender shall be required to
enroll in the violent offender database with respect to the offense
that classifies the person a violent offender and shall have all VOD
duties with respect to that offense for ten years after the offender
initially enrolls in the database. If the person is classified a
violent offender under division (A)(1)
or (3)
of section 2903.41 of the Revised Code, the court shall provide the
offender notice of the duties pursuant to division (C) of this
section. If the person is classified a violent offender under
division (A)(2) of section 2903.41 of the Revised Code, the offender
shall be provided notice of the duties pursuant to divisions (B) and
(C) of this section.
(4)
If a violent offender files a motion under division (A)(2)(a) or (b)
of this section, the offender has the burden of proving to the court
that is sentencing, or that has sentenced, the offender, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the offender was not the
principal offender in the commission of the offense that classifies
the person a violent offender. If a violent offender files such a
motion, one of the following applies:
(a)
If the violent offender proves to the court, by a preponderance of
the evidence, that the offender was not the principal offender in the
commission of the offense that classifies the person a violent
offender, the presumption is rebutted and the court shall continue
the hearing for the purpose of determining whether the offender,
notwithstanding the rebuttal of the presumption, should be required
to enroll in the violent offender database and have all VOD duties
with respect to that offense. In making that determination, the court
shall consider all of the factors identified in divisions
(A)(4)(a)(i) to (iv) of this section. If the court, after considering
those factors at the hearing, determines that the offender,
notwithstanding the rebuttal of the presumption, should be required
to enroll in the violent offender database and have all VOD duties
with respect to that offense, the court shall issue an order
specifying that the offender is required to enroll in the violent
offender database with respect to that offense and will have all VOD
duties with respect to that offense for ten years after the offender
initially enrolls in the database. Upon the court's issuance of such
an order, the offender shall be required to enroll in the violent
offender database and will have all VOD duties with respect to that
offense for ten years after the offender initially enrolls in the
database. The court shall provide the offender notice of the duties
pursuant to division (C) of this section, and shall provide a copy of
the order to the prosecutor and to the bureau of criminal
identification and investigation. Absent such a determination at the
hearing after consideration of those factors, the court shall issue
an order specifying that the offender is not required to enroll in
the violent offender database and has no VOD duties with respect to
the offense that classifies the person a violent offender, and shall
provide a copy of the order to the prosecutor and to the bureau of
criminal identification and investigation. In making a determination
at a hearing under this division, a court shall consider all of the
following factors:
(i)
Whether the offender has any convictions for any offense of violence,
prior to the offense at issue that classifies the person a violent
offender, and whether those prior convictions, if any, indicate that
the offender has a propensity for violence;
(ii)
The results of a risk assessment of the offender conducted through
use of the single validated risk assessment tool established under
section 5120.114 of the Revised Code;
(iii)
The degree of culpability or involvement of the offender in the
offense at issue that classifies the person a violent offender;
(iv)
The public interest and safety.
(b)
If the violent offender does not prove to the court, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the offender was not the
principal offender in the commission of the offense that classifies
the person a violent offender, the court shall issue an order
specifying that the offender is required to enroll in the violent
offender database and has all VOD duties with respect to that
offense, and shall provide a copy of the order to the prosecutor and
to the bureau of criminal identification and investigation. Upon the
court's issuance of such an order, the offender shall be required to
enroll in the violent offender database with respect to that offense
and will have all VOD duties with respect to that offense for ten
years after the offender initially enrolls in the database. The court
shall provide the offender notice of the duties pursuant to division
(C) of this section.
(B)
Each person who is classified a violent offender under division
(A)(2) of section 2903.41 of the Revised Code and who does not file a
motion under division (A)(2)(a) or (b) of this section shall be
provided notice of the offender's duty to enroll in the violent
offender database with respect to the offense that classifies the
person a violent offender and of all VOD duties with respect to that
offense and that those duties last for ten years after the offender
initially enrolls in the database. The official in charge of the
jail, workhouse, state correctional institution, or other institution
in which the offender is serving the prison term, term of
imprisonment, or other term of confinement, or the official's
designee, shall provide the notice to the offender before the
offender is released pursuant to any type of supervised release or
before the offender is otherwise released from the prison term, term
of imprisonment, or other term of confinement.
(C)
The judge, official, or official's designee providing the notice
under division (A)(3), (A)(4), or (B) of this section shall require
the violent offender to read and sign a form stating that the violent
offender has received and understands the notice. If the violent
offender is unable to read, the judge, official, or official's
designee shall inform the violent offender of the violent offender's
duties as set forth in the notice and shall certify on the form that
the judge, official, or official's designee informed the violent
offender of the violent offender's duties and that the violent
offender indicated an understanding of those duties.
The
attorney general shall prescribe the notice and the form provided
under this division. The notice shall inform the offender that, to
satisfy the duty to enroll, the violent offender must enroll
personally with the sheriff of the county in which the offender
resides or that sheriff's designee and include notice of the
offender's duties to re-enroll annually and when the offender has a
change of address.
The
person providing the notice under this division shall provide a copy
of the notice and signed form to the violent offender. The person
providing the notice also shall determine the county in which the
violent offender intends to reside and shall provide a copy of the
signed form to the sheriff of that county in accordance with rules
adopted by the attorney general pursuant to Chapter 119. of the
Revised Code and to the bureau of criminal identification and
investigation.
This
division also applies with respect to a qualifying out-of-state

offender or qualifying out-of-state violent offender indefinitely and
the offender's VOD duties shall continue indefinitely, subject to
termination under section 2903.44 of the Revised Code.

to the prosecutor. Upon receipt of the order from the court, the
bureau shall update all records pertaining to the offender to reflect
the extended enrollment period. The bureau also shall provide notice
of the issuance of the order to every sheriff with whom the offender
has most recently enrolled or re-enrolled.
(3)
The official in charge of a jail, workhouse, state correctional
institution, or other institution shall notify the attorney general
in accordance with rules adopted by the attorney general pursuant to

out-of-state violent offender is confined in the jail, workhouse,
state correctional institution, or other institution.

has VOD duties imposed pursuant to section 2903.42 or 2903.421 of the
Revised Code shall notify the sheriff with whom the offender most
recently enrolled or re-enrolled or that sheriff's designee in person

After a violent offender or qualifying out-of-state violent offender
who has VOD duties imposed pursuant to section 2903.42 or 2903.421 of

database with a sheriff or a sheriff's designee pursuant to this
section, the sheriff or designee shall forward the offender's signed,
written enrollment form, photograph, fingerprints, palm prints, and

and shall enter the information into the law enforcement automated
data system created by section 5503.10 of the Revised Code

establish and maintain a database of violent offenders and qualifying
out-of-state violent offenders that includes the information and
materials the bureau receives pursuant to division (D)(1) or (F)(1)
of this section. The bureau shall make the database available to
federal, state, and local law enforcement officers. The database of
violent offenders and qualifying out-of-state violent offenders
maintained by the bureau is not a public record under section 149.43
of the Revised Code.
(3)(a)
Except as otherwise provided in divisions (F)(3)(b) and (c) of this
section, any statements, information, photographs, fingerprints, or
materials that are provided pursuant to this section by a violent
offender or qualifying out-of-state violent offender who has VOD
duties imposed under section 2903.42 or 2903.421 of the Revised Code
and that are in the possession of a county sheriff are public records
open to public inspection under section 149.43 of the Revised Code
and shall be included in a publicly available online portal to be
established by the bureau of criminal identification and
investigation pursuant to division (J) of this section
.
(b)
The following information is not a public record and shall not be
open to public inspection: the social security number and any
driver's license number, commercial driver's license number, or state
identification card number provided to the county sheriff by a
violent offender or qualifying out-of-state violent offender.
(c)
A violent offender or qualifying out-of-state violent offender who
has VOD duties imposed under section 2903.42 or 2903.421 of the
Revised Code may file a motion with the court of common pleas in the
county in which the offender resides stating that the offender fears
for the offender's safety if the statements, information,
photographs, fingerprints, or materials provided by the offender
pursuant to this section and that are in the possession of a county
sheriff are open for public inspection, and requesting the court to
issue an order to ban or restrict access to those statements,
photographs, fingerprints, and materials and that information. A
motion filed with a court under this division shall expressly state
the reasons for which the violent offender or qualifying out-of-state
violent offender fears for the offender's safety, shall identify each
county in which the offender has enrolled or re-enrolled, and shall
provide information and materials in support of the motion. The
court, upon the filing of the motion under this division, may
determine whether to grant or deny the motion without a hearing or
may conduct a hearing to determine whether to grant or deny the
motion. The court may grant the motion if it determines, upon review
of the motion, the supporting information and materials provided with
the motion, and, if the court conducts a hearing, any additional
information provided at the hearing, that the offender's fears for
the offender's safety are valid and that the interests of justice and
the offender's safety require that the motion be granted.
If
the court grants the motion, the statements, information,
photographs, fingerprints, or materials provided by the offender
pursuant to this section and that are in the possession of a county
sheriff are not public records open to public inspection under
section 149.43 of the Revised Code and the court shall issue an order
to that effect. A court that grants a motion and issues an order
under this division shall notify the sheriff in each county in which
the offender has enrolled or re-enrolled of the issuance of the

Code, may adopt rules regarding enrollment dates different than those
prescribed in divisions (A), (B), and (D) of this section for any
violent offender or qualifying out-of-state violent offender who has
VOD duties imposed under section 2903.42 or 2903.421 of the Revised
Code and who also is an arson offender, as defined in section 2909.13
of the Revised Code, or a sex offender or child-victim offender, both
as defined in section 2950.01 of the Revised Code.
(I)(1)
No violent offender or qualifying out-of-state violent offender who
has VOD duties imposed under section 2903.42 or 2903.421 of the

period or extended enrollment period of the offender to enroll,
re-enroll, or notify the sheriff or sheriff's designee of a change of
