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 on the recidivism rates of individuals who have been granted pardons. Recidivism refers to the tendency of a convicted criminal to reoffend after receiving a pardon or completing a sentence. The bill requires the CJC to complete this study and submit a detailed report to the appropriate interim legislative committees by December 31, 2026. The report must include not only the study's findings on recidivism rates but also any recommended legislative changes based on the research. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, after the report is submitted. This research could potentially inform future policy decisions related to pardons and criminal justice reform in Oregon by providing empirical data on how pardons might impact an individual's likelihood of committing future crimes.
