§ 2152.55.
(A) If a court orders a child to receive an evaluation under section 2152.53 of the Revised Code , the child and the child's parents, guardians, or custodians shall be available at
the times and places established by the evaluator who conducts the evaluation. The evaluation shall be performed in the least restrictive setting available that
will both facilitate an evaluation and maintain the safety of the child and community. If the child has been released on temporary or interim orders and refuses or fails
to submit to the evaluation, the court may amend the conditions of the orders in whatever
manner necessary to facilitate an evaluation. (B) The court shall provide in its evaluation order that the evaluator shall have access
to all relevant private and public records related to the child, including competency
evaluations and reports conducted in prior delinquent child proceedings. The court may include an order for all relevant private and public records related
to the child in the journal entry ordering the evaluation. (C) Within ten business days after the court appoints an evaluator, the prosecuting attorney
shall deliver to the evaluator copies of relevant police reports and other background
information that pertain to the child and that are in the prosecuting attorney's possession,
except for any information that the prosecuting attorney determines would, if released,
interfere with the effective prosecution of any person or create a substantial risk
of harm to any person. (D) Within ten business days after the court appoints an evaluator, the child's attorney
shall deliver to the evaluator copies of relevant police reports and other background
information that pertain to the child and that are in the attorney's possession and
that is not protected by attorney-client privilege.
