Bill Summary
The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act tells the CJC to do a study. (Flesch Readability Score: 100.0). Directs the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission to study the effect that the payment of restitution has on recidivism rates, and to provide the results of the study to the appropriate interim committees of the Legislative Assembly no later than December 31, 2026. Sunsets January 2, 2027.
AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC), a state agency responsible for criminal justice policy and research, to conduct a comprehensive study examining how the payment of restitution impacts recidivism rates (the likelihood of an offender committing another crime after being convicted and potentially punished). The bill requires the CJC to complete this study and submit a detailed report to the appropriate interim legislative committees by December 31, 2026, which must include not only the study's findings but also any recommended legislative changes based on the research. The legislation is temporary in nature, with the study requirement automatically repealing on January 2, 2027, meaning the CJC will only be mandated to perform this specific research during a defined period. The bill's purpose appears to be gathering empirical data to help understand the potential rehabilitative effects of restitution payments and potentially inform future criminal justice policy decisions.
