       (B) For each minor child of the victim, the court may  20
order the payment of child maintenance until the child reaches  21

       (C) The court shall calculate the amount of child  23
maintenance in accordance with the basic child support schedule,  24
the applicable worksheet, and the other provisions of Chapter  25
3119. of the Revised Code as if the deceased defendant were a  26
parent subject to a child support order under that chapter.  27
       (D) The court shall order that child maintenance payments  28
be made from the defendant's estate to the clerk of courts as  29

authorized under this section or, in the circumstances specified  42
in section 2929.32 of the Revised Code, may impose upon the  43
offender a fine in accordance with that section, and shall  44

shall order the financial sanction specified in division (A)(2)  48
of this section, if applicable, in addition to any other  49
financial sanction or combination of financial sanctions imposed  50
under this section. Subject to division (A)(2) of this section,  51
financial sanctions that either are required to be or may be  52
imposed pursuant to this section include, but are not limited  53
to, the following:  54
       (1) Restitution by the offender to the victim of the  55
offender's criminal offense or the victim's estate, in an amount  56
based on the victim's economic loss. In open court, the court  57
shall order that full restitution be made to the victim, to the  58
adult probation department that serves the county on behalf of  59
the victim, to the clerk of courts, or to another agency  60
designated by the court. At sentencing, the court shall  61
determine the amount of restitution to be made by the offender.  62
The victim, victim's representative, victim's attorney, if  63
applicable, the prosecutor or the prosecutor's designee, and the  64
offender may provide information relevant to the determination  65
of the amount of restitution. The amount the court orders as  66
restitution shall not exceed the amount of the economic loss  67
suffered by the victim as a direct and proximate result of the  68
commission of the offense. If the court imposes restitution for  69
the cost of accounting or auditing done to determine the extent  70
of economic loss, the court may order restitution for any amount  71
of the victim's costs of accounting or auditing provided that  72
the amount of restitution is reasonable and does not exceed the  73
value of property or services stolen or damaged as a result of  74
the offense. The court shall hold a hearing on restitution if  75
the offender, victim, victim's representative, or victim's  76
estate disputes the amount. The court shall determine the amount  77
of full restitution by a preponderance of the evidence. All  78
H. B. No. 336  Page 4
As Introduced
restitution payments shall be credited against any recovery of  79
economic loss in a civil action brought by the victim or the  80
victim's estate against the offender.  81
       The court may order that the offender pay a surcharge of  82
not more than five per cent of the amount of the restitution  83
otherwise ordered to the entity responsible for collecting and  84
processing restitution payments.  85
       The victim, victim's estate, or victim's attorney, if  86
applicable, may file a motion or request that the prosecutor in  87
the case file a motion, or the offender may file a motion, for  88
modification of the payment terms of any restitution ordered. If  89
the court grants the motion, it may modify the payment terms as  90
it determines appropriate but shall not reduce the amount of  91
restitution ordered, except as provided in division (A) of  92
section 2929.281 of the Revised Code. The court shall not  93
discharge restitution until it is fully paid by the offender.  94
       (2) Except (2)(a) For any felony violation of division (A)  95
(1) of section 2903.06 of the Revised Code, the court shall  96
order restitution in the form of child maintenance if the  97
offender was convicted of or pleaded guilty to that violation  98
and at the time of the offense the deceased victim was the  99
parent, legal custodian, or guardian of at least one surviving  100
minor child. For each minor child of the victim, the offender  101
shall pay child maintenance until the child reaches eighteen  102
years of age.  103
       (b) The court shall calculate the amount of child  104
maintenance in accordance with the basic child support schedule,  105
the applicable worksheet, and the other provisions of Chapter  106
3119. of the Revised Code as if the offender were a parent  107
subject to a child support order under that chapter.  108

       (c) The court shall order that child maintenance payments  109
be made to the clerk of courts as trustee for remittance to the  110
child's surviving parent, legal custodian, or guardian. The  111
clerk shall remit the payments to the surviving parent, legal  112
custodian, or guardian within three business days of receipt by  113
the clerk. The clerk shall deposit all payments not later than  114
the next business day after receipt.  115
       (d) If the offender is ordered to pay child maintenance  116
under this section and is incarcerated and unable to pay the  117
required child maintenance, the offender shall have not more  118
than one year after the release from incarceration to begin  119
payment and shall enter a payment plan with the court to address  120
any arrearage. If the child maintenance payments are set to  121
terminate but the offender's obligation is not paid in full, the  122
child maintenance payments shall continue until the entire  123
arrearage is paid.  124
       (e) If a parent, legal guardian, or custodian brings a  125
civil action against the offender prior to the ordering of child  126
maintenance under this section and obtains a judgment covering  127
the costs of child maintenance in the civil action, no child  128
maintenance shall be ordered under this section.  129
       (f) If an offender is ordered to pay child maintenance  130
under this section and a parent, legal guardian, or custodian  131
subsequently brings a civil action against the offender and  132
obtains a civil judgment covering the costs of child  133
maintenance, the amount of restitution in the form of child  134
maintenance shall be reduced by the amount of the judgment  135
awarded in the civil action.  136
