§ 2929.141.
(A) Upon the conviction of or plea of guilty to a felony by a person on post-release
control at the time of the commission of the felony, the court may terminate the term
of post-release control, and the court may do either of the following regardless of
whether the sentencing court or another court of this state imposed the original prison
term for which the person is on post-release control: (1) In addition to any prison term for the new felony, impose a prison term for the post-release
control violation. The maximum prison term for the violation shall be the greater of twelve months
or the period of post-release control for the earlier felony minus any time the person
has spent under post-release control for the earlier felony. In all cases, any prison term imposed for the violation shall be reduced by any
prison term that is administratively imposed by the parole board as a post-release
control sanction. A prison term imposed for the violation shall be served consecutively to any prison
term imposed for the new felony. The imposition of a prison term for the post-release control violation shall terminate
the period of post-release control for the earlier felony. (2) Impose a sanction under sections 2929.15 to 2929.18 of the Revised Code for the violation that shall be served concurrently or consecutively, as specified
by the court, with any community control sanctions for the new felony. (B) If a person on post-release control was acting pursuant to division (B)(2)(b) of
section 2925.11 or a related provision under section 2925.12 , 2925.14 , or 2925.141 of the Revised Code and in so doing violated the conditions of a post-release control sanction based
on a minor drug possession offense, as defined in section 2925.11 of the Revised Code , or violated section 2925.12, division (C)(1) of section 2925.14 , or section 2925.141 of the Revised Code , the court shall not impose any of the penalties described in division (A) of this
section based on the violation. (C) Upon the conviction of or plea of guilty to a felony by a person on transitional
control under section 2967.26 of the Revised Code at the time of the commission of the felony, the court may, in addition to any prison
term for the new felony, impose a prison term not exceeding twelve months for having
committed the felony while on transitional control. An additional prison term imposed pursuant to this section shall be served consecutively
to any prison term imposed for the new felony. The sentencing court may impose the additional prison term authorized by this section
regardless of whether the sentencing court or another court of this state imposed
the original prison term for which the person is on transitional control.
