JOURNAL ENTRY AND OPINION

FRANK D. CELEBREZZE, JR., J.

{¶ 1} All nine appellants in this consolidated case challenge their reclassification under Ohio's version of the Adam Walsh Act ("AWA"), codified in R.C. 2950 et seq., enacted by Am. Sub. S.B. No. 10 ("S.B. 10"). Based on the Ohio Supreme Court's decision in State v. Bodyke, Slip Opinion No. 2010-Ohio-2424, we find merit in appellants' arguments.
