Ohio § 2151.354

§ 2151.354.

(A) If the child is adjudicated an unruly child, the court may: (1) Make any of the dispositions authorized under section 2151.353 of the Revised Code ; (2) Place the child on community control under any sanctions, services, and conditions

that the court prescribes, as described in division (A)(4) of section 2152.19 of the Revised Code , provided that, if the court imposes a period of community service upon the child,

the period of community service shall not exceed one hundred seventy-five hours; (3) Suspend 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 and suspend

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. (4) Commit the child to the temporary or permanent custody of the court; (5) Make any further disposition the court finds proper that is consistent with sections 2151.312 and 2151.56 to 2151.59 of the Revised Code ; (6) If, after making a disposition under division (A)(1), (2), or (3) of this section,

the court finds upon further hearing that the child is not amenable to treatment or

rehabilitation under that disposition, make a disposition otherwise authorized under

divisions (A)(1), (4), (5), and (8) of section 2152.19 of the Revised Code that is

consistent with sections 2151.312 and 2151.56 to 2151.59 of the Revised Code . (B) If a child is adjudicated an unruly child for committing any act that, if committed

by an adult, would be a drug abuse offense, as defined in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code , or a violation of division (B) of section 2917.11 of the Revised Code , in addition to imposing, in its discretion, any other order of disposition authorized

by this section, the court shall do both of the following: (1) Require the child to participate in a drug abuse or alcohol abuse counseling program; (2) Suspend the temporary instruction permit, probationary driver's license, or driver's

license issued to the child 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 as 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. (C)(1) If a child is adjudicated an unruly child for being an habitual truant, in addition

to or in lieu of imposing any other order of disposition authorized by this section,

the court may do any of the following: (a) Order the board of education of the child's school district or the governing board

of the educational service center in the child's school district to require the child

to attend an alternative school if an alternative school has been established pursuant

to section 3313.533 of the Revised Code in the school district in which the child is entitled to attend school; (b) Require the child to participate in any academic program or community service program; (c) Require the child to participate in a drug abuse or alcohol abuse counseling program; (d) Require that the child receive appropriate medical or psychological treatment or

counseling; (e) Make any other order that the court finds proper to address the child's habitual

truancy, including an order requiring the child to not be absent without legitimate

excuse from the public school the child is supposed to attend for thirty or more consecutive

hours, forty-two or more hours in one school month, or seventy-two or more hours in

a school year and including an order requiring the child to participate in a truancy

prevention mediation program. (2) If a child is adjudicated an unruly child for being an 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 authorized by this section, all of the following

apply: (a) The court may 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. (b) The court may require the parent, guardian, or other person having care of the child

to participate in a truancy prevention mediation program. (c) 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 an habitual truant or for violating a court order regarding the child's prior

adjudication as an unruly child for being an habitual 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 . (d) Not later than ten days after a child is adjudicated an unruly child for being an

habitual truant, the court shall provide notice of that fact to the school district

in which the child is entitled to attend school and to the school in which the child

was enrolled at the time of the filing of the complaint.
