Status: in_force

September 30, 2011 House Bill 86 - 129th General Assembly (A) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Revised Code that sets forth the minimum periods or period for which a child committed to the department of youth services is to be institutionalized or institutionalized in a secure facility or the procedures for the judicial release to court supervision or judicial release to department of youth services supervision, the department may grant emergency releases to children confined in state juvenile institutions if the governor, upon request of the director of the department authorizes the director, in writing, to issue a declaration that an emergency overcrowding condition exists in all of the institutions in which males are confined, or in all of the institutions in which females are confined, that are under the control of the department. If the governor authorizes the issuance of a declaration, the director may issue the declaration. If the director issues the declaration, the director shall file a copy of it with the secretary of state, which copy shall be a public record. Upon the filing of the copy, the department is authorized to grant emergency releases to children within its custody subject to division (B) of this section. The authority to grant the emergency releases shall continue until the expiration of thirty days from the day on which the declaration was filed. The director shall not issue a declaration that an emergency overcrowding condition exists unless the director determines that no other method of alleviating the overcrowding condition is available. (B)(1) If the department is authorized under division (A) of this section to grant emergency releases to children within its custody, the department shall determine which, if any, children to release under that authority only in accordance with this division and divisions (C), (D), and (E) of this section. The department, in determining which, if any, children to release, initially shall classify each child within its custody according to the degree of offense that the act for which the child is serving the period of institutionalization would have been if committed by an adult. The department then shall scrutinize individual children for emergency release, based upon their degree of offense, in accordance with the categories and the order of consideration set forth in division (B)(2) of this section. After scrutiny of all children within the particular category under consideration, the department shall designate individual children within that category to whom it wishes to grant an emergency release. (2) The categories of children in the custody of the department that may be considered for emergency release under this section, and the order in which the categories shall be considered, are as follows: (a) Initially, only children who are not serving a period of institutionalization for an act that would have been aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the first, second, third, or fourth degree if committed by an adult or for an act that was committed before July 1, 1996, and that would have been an aggravated felony of the first, second, or third degree if committed by an adult may be considered. (b) When all children in the category described in division (B)(2)(a) of this section have been scrutinized and all children in that category who have been designated for emergency release under division (B)(1) of this section have been so released, then all children who are not serving a period of institutionalization for an act that would have been aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the first or second degree if committed by an adult or for an act that was committed before July 1, 1996, and that would have been an aggravated felony of the first or second degree if committed by an adult may be considered. (c) When all children in the categories described in divisions (B)(2)(a) and (b) of this section have been scrutinized and all children in those categories who have been designated for emergency release under division (B)(1) of this section have been released, then all children who are not serving a term of institutionalization for an act that would have been aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the first degree if committed by an adult or for an act that was committed before July 1, 1996, and that would have been an aggravated felony of the first or second degree if committed by an adult may be considered. (d) In no case shall the department consider for emergency release any child who is serving a term of institutionalization for an act that would have been aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the first degree if committed by an adult or for an act that was committed before July 1, 1996, and that would have been an aggravated felony of the first degree if committed by an adult, and in no case shall the department grant an emergency release to any such child pursuant to this section. (C) An emergency release granted pursuant to this section shall consist of one of the following: (1) A supervised release under terms and conditions that the department believes conducive to law-abiding conduct; (2) A discharge of the child from the custody and control of the department if the department is satisfied that the discharge is consistent with the welfare of the individual and protection of the public; (3) An assignment to a family home, a group care facility, or other place maintained under public or private auspices, within or without this state, for necessary treatment or rehabilitation, the costs of which may be paid by the department. (D) If a child is granted an emergency release pursuant to this section, the child thereafter shall be considered to have been institutionalized or institutionalized in a secure facility for the prescribed minimum period of time under division (A)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e) of section 2152.16 of the Revised Code, or all definite periods of commitment imposed under division (A), (B), (C), or (D) of section 2152.17 of the Revised Code plus the prescribed minimum period of time imposed under division (A)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e) of section 2152.16 of the Revised Code, whichever is applicable. The department shall retain legal custody of a child so released until it discharges the child or until its custody is terminated as otherwise provided by law. (E)(1) If a child is granted an emergency release so that the child is released on supervised release or assigned to a family home, group care facility, or other place for treatment or rehabilitation, the department shall prepare a written treatment and rehabilitation plan for the child in accordance with division (F) of section 2152.22 of the Revised Code, which shall include the conditions of the child's release or assignment, and shall send the committing court and the juvenile court of the county in which the child is placed a copy of the plan and the conditions that it fixed. The court of the county in which the child is placed may adopt the conditions as an order of the court and may add any additional consistent conditions it considers appropriate. If a child is released on supervised release or is assigned subject to specified conditions and the court of the county in which the child is placed has reason to believe that the child's deportment is not in accordance with any post-release conditions established by the court in its journal entry, the court of the county in which the child is placed, in its discretion, may schedule a time for a hearing on whether the child violated any of the post-release conditions. If that court conducts a hearing and determines at the hearing that the child violated any of the post-release conditions established in its journal entry, the court, if it determines that the violation of the conditions was a serious violation, may order the child to be returned to the department of youth services for institutionalization or, in any case, may make any other disposition of the child authorized by law that the court considers proper. If the court of the county in which the child is placed orders the child to be returned to a department of youth services institution, the child shall remain institutionalized for a minimum period of three months. (2) The department also shall file a written progress report with the committing court regarding each child granted an emergency release pursuant to this section at least once every thirty days unless specifically directed otherwise by the court. The report shall include the information required of reports described in division (G) of section 2152.22 of the Revised Code.

§ 5164.35. Provider offenses
Status: in_force

October 3, 2023 House Bill 33 - 135th General Assembly (A) As used in this section, "owner" means any person having at least five per cent ownership in a medicaid provider. (B)(1) No medicaid provider shall do any of the following: (a) By deception, obtain or attempt to obtain payments under the medicaid program to which the provider is not entitled pursuant to the provider's provider agreement, or the rules of the federal government or the medicaid director relating to the program; (b) Willfully receive payments to which the provider is not entitled; (c) Willfully receive payments in a greater amount than that to which the provider is entitled; (d) Falsify any report or document required by state or federal law, rule, or provider agreement relating to medicaid payments. (2) A medicaid provider engages in "deception" for the purpose of this section when the provider, acting with actual knowledge of the representation or information involved, acting in deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the representation or information involved, or acting in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the representation or information involved, deceives another or causes another to be deceived by any false or misleading representation, by withholding information, by preventing another from acquiring information, or by any other conduct, act, or omission that creates, confirms, or perpetuates a false impression in another, including a false impression as to law, value, state of mind, or other objective or subjective fact. No proof of specific intent to defraud is required to show, for purposes of this section, that a medicaid provider has engaged in deception. (C) Any medicaid provider who violates division (B) of this section shall be liable, in addition to any other penalties provided by law, for all of the following civil penalties: (1) Payment of interest on the amount of the excess payments at the maximum interest rate allowable for real estate mortgages under section 1343.01 of the Revised Code on the date the payment was made to the provider for a period determined by the department, not to exceed the period from the date upon which payment was made, to the date upon which repayment is made to the state; (2) Payment of an amount equal to three times the amount of any excess payments; (3) Payment of a sum of not less than five thousand dollars and not more than ten thousand dollars for each deceptive claim or falsification; (4) All reasonable expenses which the court determines have been necessarily incurred by the state in the enforcement of this section. (D) In addition to the civil penalties provided in division (C) of this section, the medicaid director, upon the conviction of, or the entry of a judgment in either a criminal or civil action against, a medicaid provider or its owner, officer, authorized agent, associate, manager, or employee in an action brought pursuant to section 109.85 of the Revised Code, shall terminate the provider's provider agreement and stop payment to the provider for medicaid services rendered from the date of conviction or entry of judgment. No such medicaid provider, owner, officer, authorized agent, associate, manager, or employee shall own or provide medicaid services on behalf of any other medicaid provider or risk contractor or arrange for, render, or order medicaid services for medicaid recipients, nor shall such provider, owner, officer, authorized agent, associate, manager, or employee receive direct payments under the medicaid program or indirect payments of medicaid funds in the form of salary, shared fees, contracts, kickbacks, or rebates from or through any other medicaid provider or risk contractor. The provider agreement shall not be terminated, and payment shall not be terminated, if the medicaid provider or owner can demonstrate that the provider or owner did not directly or indirectly sanction the action of its authorized agent, associate, manager, or employee that resulted in the conviction or entry of a judgment in a criminal or civil action brought pursuant to section 109.85 of the Revised Code. Nothing in this division prohibits any owner, officer, authorized agent, associate, manager, or employee of a medicaid provider from entering into a provider agreement if the person can demonstrate that the person had no knowledge of an action of the medicaid provider the person was formerly associated with that resulted in the conviction or entry of a judgment in a criminal or civil action brought pursuant to section 109.85 of the Revised Code. Nursing facility and ICF/IID providers whose provider agreements are terminated pursuant to this section may continue to receive medicaid payments for up to thirty days after the effective date of the termination if the provider makes reasonable efforts to transfer medicaid recipients to another facility or to alternate care and if federal financial participation is provided for the payments. (E) The attorney general on behalf of the state may commence proceedings to enforce this section in any court of competent jurisdiction; and the attorney general may settle or compromise any case brought under this section with the approval of the department of medicaid. Notwithstanding any other provision of law providing a shorter period of limitations, the attorney general may commence a proceeding to enforce this section at any time within six years after the conduct in violation of this section terminates. (F) All moneys collected by the state pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the general revenue fund. Last updated October 10, 2023 at 11:31 AM
