Bill > HB3068

This bill requires the Department of Corrections (DOC) to conduct a comprehensive study on community corrections, which likely refers to programs and strategies for managing and rehabilitating offenders within the community rather than in traditional prison settings. The DOC is mandated to prepare and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on judiciary matters by September 15, 2026. The report may include recommendations for potential legislative changes and will be submitted according to the guidelines outlined in ORS 192.245, which likely governs the format and process for such governmental reports. Importantly, the bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited directive for the department to explore and potentially improve community corrections approaches.
