(A) Subject to division (D) of this section, at least two weeks before any convict who

is serving a sentence for committing aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the

first, second, or third degree or who is serving a sentence of life imprisonment is

released from confinement in any state correctional institution pursuant to a pardon,

commutation of sentence, parole, or completed prison term, the adult parole authority

shall provide notice of the release to the prosecuting attorney of the county in which

the indictment of the convict was found and a separate notice of that release to the

sheriff of that county.  The notice to prosecuting attorneys and the notice to sheriffs required by this

division may be contained in a weekly list of all convicts who are serving a sentence

for aggravated murder, murder, or a felony of the first, second, or third degree or

are serving a sentence of life imprisonment and who are scheduled for release. (B) Subject to division (D) of this section, if a convict who is serving a sentence for

parole authority shall send notice of the release to the prosecuting attorney of the

county in which the indictment of the convict was filed.  The notice required by this division shall be sent to the appropriate prosecuting

attorney at the end of the month in which the convict is released and may be contained

in a monthly list of all convicts who are released in that month and for whom this

division requires a notice to be sent to that prosecuting attorney. (C) The notices required by divisions (A) and (B) of this section shall contain all of

(B)(1)(a), (b), or (c), (B)(2)(a), (b), or (c), or (B)(3)(a), (b), (c), or (d) of

section 2971.03 of the Revised Code, if the court pursuant to section 2971.05 of the Revised Code modifies the requirement that the offender serve that entire term in a state correctional

institution, and if the release from confinement is pursuant to that modification.  In a case of that type, the court that modifies the requirement promptly shall provide

written notice of the modification and the order that modifies the requirement or

revises the modification to the offender, the department of rehabilitation and correction,

the prosecuting attorney, and any state agency or political subdivision that is affected

by the order. (2) Divisions (A), (B), and (C) of this section do not apply to the release from confinement

of an offender if, upon admission to the state correctional institution, the offender

has less than fourteen days to serve on the sentence.
