AI Summary
This bill directs the Department of Corrections (DOC) to conduct a comprehensive study of the Corrections Ombudsman, an official responsible for investigating complaints and ensuring fair treatment within the corrections system. The department is required to prepare a report, which may include legislative recommendations, and submit it to the interim legislative committees focused on judiciary matters by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited directive. The report will be submitted in accordance with ORS 192.245, which likely provides specific guidelines for government reporting procedures. By mandating this study, the bill aims to review and potentially improve the role and functioning of the Corrections Ombudsman within Oregon's corrections system.
