(A) Subject to division (D) of this section, at least two weeks before any convict who

is serving a sentence for committing aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the

first, second, or third degree or who is serving a sentence of life imprisonment is

released from confinement in any state correctional institution pursuant to a pardon,

commutation of sentence, parole, or completed prison term, the adult parole authority

shall provide notice of the release to the prosecuting attorney of the county in which

the indictment of the convict was found and a separate notice of that release to the

parole authority shall send notice of the release to the prosecuting attorney of the

county in which the indictment of the convict was filed.  The notice required by this division shall be sent to the appropriate prosecuting

attorney at the end of the month in which the convict is released and may be contained

in a monthly list of all convicts who are released in that month and for whom this
