Ohio Code § 2152.52

§ 2152.52.

(A)(1) In any proceeding under this chapter other than a proceeding alleging that a child

is an unruly child or a juvenile traffic offender, any party or the court may move

for a determination regarding the child's competency to participate in the proceeding. (2) In any proceeding under this chapter other than a proceeding alleging that a child

is an unruly child or a juvenile traffic offender, if the child who is the subject

of the proceeding is fourteen years of age or older and if the child is not otherwise

found to have a mental illness or developmental disability, it is rebuttably presumed

that the child does not have a lack of mental capacity.  This presumption applies only in making a determination as to whether the child

has a lack of mental capacity and shall not be used or applicable for any other purpose. (B) The court may find a child incompetent to proceed without ordering an evaluation

of the child's competency or holding a hearing to determine the child's competency

if either of the following applies: (1) The prosecuting attorney, the child's attorney, and at least one of the child's parents,

guardians, or custodians agree to the determination. (2) The court relies on a prior court determination that the child was incompetent and

could not attain competency even if the child were to participate in competency attainment

services.
