(G) Whoever violates section 1547.11 of the Revised Code is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree and shall be punished as provided

in division (G)(1), (2), or (3) of this section. (1) Except as otherwise provided in division (G)(2) or (3) of this section, the court

shall sentence the offender to a jail term of three consecutive days and may sentence

the offender pursuant to section 2929.24 of the Revised Code to a longer jail term.  In addition, the court shall impose upon the offender a fine of not less than one

hundred fifty nor more than one thousand dollars. The court may suspend the execution of the mandatory jail term of three consecutive

days that it is required to impose by division (G)(1) of this section if the court,

in lieu of the suspended jail term, places the offender under a community control

sanction pursuant to section 2929.25 of the Revised Code and requires the offender to attend, for three consecutive days, a drivers' intervention

program that is certified pursuant to section 5119.38 of the Revised Code .  The court also may suspend the execution of any part of the mandatory jail term

of three consecutive days that it is required to impose by division (G)(1) of this

section if the court places the offender under a community control sanction pursuant

to section 2929.25 of the Revised Code for part of the three consecutive days;  requires the offender to attend, for that

part of the three consecutive days, a drivers' intervention program that is certified

pursuant to section 5119.38 of the Revised Code ;  and sentences the offender to a jail term equal to the remainder of the three consecutive

days that the offender does not spend attending the drivers' intervention program.  The court may require the offender, as a condition of community control, to attend

and satisfactorily complete any treatment or education programs, in addition to the

required attendance at a drivers' intervention program, that the operators of the

drivers' intervention program determine that the offender should attend and to report

periodically to the court on the offender's progress in the programs.  The court also may impose any other conditions of community control on the offender

that it considers necessary. (2) If, within ten years of the offense, the offender has been convicted of or pleaded

guilty to one violation of division (A) of section 1547.11 of the Revised Code or one other equivalent offense, the court shall sentence the offender to a jail

term of ten consecutive days and may sentence the offender pursuant to section 2929.24 of the Revised Code to a longer jail term.  In addition, the court shall impose upon the offender a fine of not less than one

hundred fifty nor more than one thousand dollars. In addition to any other sentence that it imposes upon the offender, the court may

require the offender to attend a drivers' intervention program that is certified pursuant

to section 5119.38 of the Revised Code . (3) If, within ten years of the offense, the offender has been convicted of or pleaded

guilty to more than one violation or offense identified in division (G)(2) of this

section, the court shall sentence the offender to a jail term of thirty consecutive

days and may sentence the offender to a longer jail term of not more than one year.  In addition, the court shall impose upon the offender a fine of not less than one

hundred fifty nor more than one thousand dollars. In addition to any other sentence that it imposes upon the offender, the court may

require the offender to attend a drivers' intervention program that is certified pursuant

to section 5119.38 of the Revised Code . (4) Upon a showing that serving a jail term would seriously affect the ability of an

offender sentenced pursuant to division (G)(1), (2), or (3) of this section to continue

the offender's employment, the court may authorize that the offender be granted work

release after the offender has served the mandatory jail term of three, ten, or thirty

consecutive days that the court is required by division (G)(1), (2), or (3) of this

section to impose.  No court shall authorize work release during the mandatory jail term of three, ten,

or thirty consecutive days that the court is required by division (G)(1), (2), or

(3) of this section to impose.  The duration of the work release shall not exceed the time necessary each day for

the offender to commute to and from the place of employment and the place in which

the jail term is served and the time actually spent under employment. (5) Notwithstanding any section of the Revised Code that authorizes the suspension of

the imposition or execution of a sentence or the placement of an offender in any treatment

program in lieu of being imprisoned or serving a jail term, no court shall suspend

the mandatory jail term of ten or thirty consecutive days required to be imposed by

division (G)(2) or (3) of this section or place an offender who is sentenced pursuant

to division (G)(2) or (3) of this section in any treatment program in lieu of being

imprisoned or serving a jail term until after the offender has served the mandatory

jail term of ten or thirty consecutive days required to be imposed pursuant to division

(G)(2) or (3) of this section.  Notwithstanding any section of the Revised Code that authorizes the suspension of

the imposition or execution of a sentence or the placement of an offender in any treatment

program in lieu of being imprisoned or serving a jail term, no court, except as specifically

authorized by division (G)(1) of this section, shall suspend the mandatory jail term

of three consecutive days required to be imposed by division (G)(1) of this section

or place an offender who is sentenced pursuant to division (G)(1) of this section

in any treatment program in lieu of imprisonment until after the offender has served

the mandatory jail term of three consecutive days required to be imposed pursuant

to division (G)(1) of this section. (6) As used in division (G) of this section: (a) “Equivalent offense” has the same meaning as in section 4511.181 of the Revised Code . (b) “Jail term” and “mandatory jail term” have the same meanings as in section 2929.01 of the Revised Code . (H) Whoever violates section 1547.304 of the Revised Code is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree and also shall be assessed any costs

incurred by the state or a county, township, municipal corporation, or other political

subdivision in disposing of an abandoned junk vessel or outboard motor, less any money

accruing to the state, county, township, municipal corporation, or other political

subdivision from that disposal. (I) Whoever violates division (B) or (C) of section 1547.49 of the Revised Code is guilty of a minor misdemeanor. (J) Whoever violates section 1547.31 of the Revised Code is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree on a first offense.  On each subsequent offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree. (K) Whoever violates section 1547.05 or 1547.051 of the Revised Code is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree if the violation is not related to

a collision, injury to a person, or damage to property and a misdemeanor of the third

degree if the violation is related to a collision, injury to a person, or damage to

property. (L) The sentencing court, in addition to the penalty provided under this section for

a violation of this chapter or a rule that involves a powercraft powered by more than

ten horsepower and that, in the opinion of the court, involves a threat to the safety

of persons or property, shall order the offender to complete successfully a boating

course approved by the national association of state boating law administrators before

the offender is allowed to operate a powercraft powered by more than ten horsepower

on the waters in this state.  Violation of a court order entered under this division is punishable as contempt

under Chapter 2705. of the Revised Code.
