MEMORANDUM DATE: September 8, 1994
TO: Timothy C. Hansley, City Manager and Dublin City Council
FROM: Carlile Patchen & Murphy mil]:; "'.,o,
RE: Ordinance Amending Sections of the Codified Ordinances of
the City of Dublin, Ohio Regarding OMVI and Child
,.-. Restraint Systems in Motor Vehicles
l
....... Enclosed with this memorandum is a copy of the proposed
ordinance which would amend sections of the codified ordinances of
the City of Dublin relative to the OMVI section and previous
section concerning the use of child restraint systems in motor
vehicles. The proposed changes are made in order to comply with
recent changes made at the state level.
Operating a Motor Vehicle After Under-Aqe Alcohol Consumption
It is proposed that Section 33.01 be amended to include
the new offense of "operating a motor vehicle after under-age
alcohol consumption." This offense applies to persons under 21
years of age who are operating a motor vehicle after having
consumed alcohol. The change, embodied in state law, makes it an
offense for that group of people to operate a motor vehicle with a
concentration of 0.02% or more of alcohol in their blood and/or
breath. The amendments would also affect the penalty provision set
forth in Section 333.99 of the Codified Ordinances. Those
individuals found guilty of operating a motor vehicle after under-
age consumption of alcohol, will be punished in accordance with the
proposed amendments, provided that the blood alcohol contact does
not exceed 0.10%. In that event, those offenders would be treated
in the same manner as previously set forth in our ordinances.
~ Incidentally, our former code provisions only apply to individuals
under the age of 18.
Child Restraint Systems in Motor Vehicles
It is proposed that Section 337.26 of the Codified
Ordinances be amended to comply with recent changes in state law.
The previous code section provided for an exemption for persons who
were not the parent of the child that was older than one year of
age. The revised provision, which is embodied in the state law,
would require that all children, 4 years of age or under 40 pounds
be transported in the appropriate child restraint system. The
requirement applies to parents and other persons, including nursery
schools, kindergartens and/or daycare centers.
The penalty provisions have changed, as well.
Previously, a maximum fine of $35.00 could only be assessed upon a
-
__cl<. ~~,.,.,."..' Tf.f -'!Il ~
, .
-
violation. The amendment would lift the $35.00 cap thereby
permitting the court discretion in levying a fine up to a maximum
of $100.00. In addition, pursuant to state law, 65% of every fine
is to be forwarded to the Treasurer of the State of Ohio for
deposit in the Child Highway Safety Fund. A revision of the code
section in order to comply with the state law mandates is necessary
for our mayor's court to meet its budgetary requirements.

Revised Code, only a physician, a registered nurse, or a qualified
technician or chemist shall withdraw blood for the purpose of
determining its alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug content. This
limitation does not apply to the taking of breath or urine
specimens. A physician, a registered nurse, or a qualified
technician or chemist may refuse to withdraw blood for the purpose
of determining the alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug content of
~ the blood, if in his opinion the physical welfare of the person
would be endangered by the withdrawing of blood.
Such bodily substance shall be analyzed in accordance with
methods approved by the director of health by an individual
possessing a valid permit issued by the director of health pursuant
to section 3701.143 [3701.14.3] of the Ohio Revised Code.
(2) In a criminal prosecution or juvenile court proceeding for

this section relating to operating a vehicle with a prohibited
concentration of alcohol in the blood, breath, or urine, if there
was at the time the bodily substance was withdrawn a concentration
of less than ten-hundredths of one per cent by weight of alcohol in
the defendant's blood, less than ten-hundredths of one gram by
weight of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of his breath, or less
than fourteen-hundredths of one gram by weight of alcohol per one
hundred milliliters of his urine, such fact may be considered with
other competent evidence in determining the guilt or innocence of
the defendant. This division does not limit or affect a criminal
prosecution or juvenile court proceeding for a violation of
division (b) of this section or of a municipal ordinance
~ substantially equivalent to division (b) of this section relating
to operating a vehicle with a prohibited concentration of alcohol
'~ in the blood, breath, or urine.
(3) Upon the request of the person who was tested, the
results of the chemical test shall be made available to him, his
attorney, or his agent, immediately upon the completion of the
chemical test analysis.
The person tested may have a physician, a registered nurse, or
a qualified technician or chemist of his own choosing administer a
chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at the
request of a police officer, and shall be so advised. The failure
or inability to obtain an additional chemical test by a person
shall not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the
chemical test or tests taken at the request of a police officer.
