§ 2152.84.
(A)(1) When a juvenile court judge issues an order under section 2152.82 or division (A) or (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code that classifies a delinquent child a juvenile offender registrant and specifies that
the child has a duty to comply with sections 2950.04 , 2950.041 , 2950.05 , and 2950.06 of the Revised Code , upon completion of the disposition of that child made for the sexually oriented
offense or the child-victim oriented offense on which the juvenile offender registrant
order was based, the judge or the judge's successor in office shall conduct a hearing
to review the effectiveness of the disposition and of any treatment provided for the
child, to determine the risks that the child might re-offend, to determine whether
the prior classification of the child as a juvenile offender registrant should be
continued or terminated as provided under division (A)(2) of this section, and to
determine whether its prior determination made at the hearing held pursuant to section 2152.831 of the Revised Code as to whether the child is a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II
sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender
should be continued or modified as provided under division (A)(2) of this section. (2) Upon completion of a hearing under division (A)(1) of this section, the judge, in
the judge's discretion and after consideration of all relevant factors, including
but not limited to, the factors listed in division (D) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code , shall do one of the following as applicable: (a) Enter an order that continues the classification of the delinquent child as a juvenile
offender registrant made in the prior order issued under section 2152.82 or division (A) or (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code and the prior determination included in the order that the child is a tier I sex
offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a
tier III sex offender/child-victim offender, whichever is applicable; (b) If the prior order was issued under division (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code , enter an order that contains a determination that the delinquent child no longer
is a juvenile offender registrant and no longer has a duty to comply with sections 2950.04 , 2950.041 , 2950.05 , and 2950.06 of the Revised Code . An order issued under division (A)(2)(b) of this section also terminates all prior
determinations that the child is a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier
II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender,
whichever is applicable. Division (A)(2)(b) of this section does not apply to a prior order issued under section 2152.82 or division (A) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code . (c) If the prior order was issued under section 2152.82 or division (A) or (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code , enter an order that continues the classification of the delinquent child as a juvenile
offender registrant made in the prior order issued under section 2152.82 or division (A) or (B) of section 2152.83 of the Revised Code , and that modifies the prior determination made at the hearing held pursuant to section 2152.831 of the Revised Code that the child is a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim
offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender, whichever is applicable. An order issued under division (A)(2)(c) of this section shall not include a determination
that increases to a higher tier the tier classification of the delinquent child. An order issued under division (A)(2)(c) of this section shall specify the new determination
made by the court at a hearing held pursuant to division (A)(1) of this section as
to whether the child is a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender, a tier II sex
offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender,
whichever is applicable. (B)(1) If a judge issues an order under division (A)(2)(a) of this section that continues
the prior classification of the delinquent child as a juvenile offender registrant
and the prior determination included in the order that the child is a tier I sex offender/child-victim
offender, a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender, or a tier III sex offender/child-victim
offender, whichever is applicable, the prior classification and the prior determination
shall remain in effect. (2) A judge may issue an order under division (A)(2)(c) of this section that contains
a determination that reclassifies a child from a tier III sex offender/child-victim
offender classification to a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender classification
or to a tier I sex offender/child-victim offender classification. A judge may issue an order under division (A)(2)(c) of this section that contains
a determination that reclassifies a child from a tier II sex offender/child-victim
offender classification. A judge may not issue an order under that division that contains a determination
that reclassifies a child from a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender classification
to a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender classification. A judge may not issue an order under division (A)(2)(c) of this section that contains
a determination that reclassifies a child from a tier I sex offender/child-victim
offender classification to a tier II sex offender/child-victim offender classification
or to a tier III sex offender/child-victim offender classification. If a judge issues an order under this division that contains a determination that
reclassifies a child, the judge shall provide a copy of the order to the delinquent
child and the bureau of criminal identification and investigation, and the bureau,
upon receipt of the copy of the order, promptly shall notify the sheriff with whom
the child most recently registered under section 2950.04 or 2950.041 of the Revised Code of the determination and reclassification. (3) If a judge issues an order under division (A)(2)(b) of this section that declassifies
the delinquent child as a juvenile offender registrant, the judge shall provide a
copy of the order to the bureau of criminal identification and investigation, and
the bureau, upon receipt of the copy of the order, promptly shall notify the sheriff
with whom the child most recently registered under section 2950.04 or 2950.041 of the Revised Code of the declassification. (C) If a judge issues an order under division (A)(2)(a), (b), or (c) of this section,
the judge shall provide to the delinquent child and to the delinquent child's parent,
guardian, or custodian a copy of the order and, if applicable, a notice containing
the information described in divisions (A) and (B) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code . The judge shall provide the notice at the time of the issuance of the order and
shall comply with divisions (B) and (C) of that section regarding that notice and
the provision of it. (D) An order issued under division (A)(2)(a) or (c) of this section and any determinations
included in the order shall remain in effect for the period of time specified in section 2950.07 of the Revised Code , subject to a modification or termination of the order under section 2152.85 of the Revised Code , and section 2152.851 of the Revised Code applies regarding the order and the determinations. If an order is issued under division (A)(2)(a) or (c) of this section, the child's
attainment of eighteen or twenty-one years of age does not affect or terminate the
order, and the order remains in effect for the period of time described in this division. (E) The provisions of this section do not apply to a delinquent child who is classified
as both a juvenile offender registrant and a public registry-qualified juvenile offender
registrant pursuant to section 2152.86 of the Revised Code .
