limits regarding the residency of a person who has been convicted of or pleaded guilty

and enforce within their limits any local police, sanitary, and similar regulations
regarding the residency of such persons that are not in conflict with general laws. The authority granted under this division shall be exercised by the adoption of
resolutions. Townships have the same rights, powers, and duties pursuant to the authority granted
under this division as municipal corporations have under Section 3 of Article XVIII, Ohio Constitution relative to their authority to exercise powers of local self-government and to adopt

the Revised Code. (C) As used in this section, “child-victim oriented offense” and “sexually oriented offense”
have the same meanings as in section 2950.01 of the Revised Code .
