AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) to conduct a comprehensive study of correctional facilities in the state. Specifically, the DOC is required to prepare a report that will be submitted to the interim legislative committees focused on judiciary-related matters by September 15, 2026. The report must follow the reporting guidelines outlined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.245 and may include legislative recommendations. The bill includes a provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited directive. The purpose appears to be gathering information and potentially identifying improvements or issues within Oregon's correctional system, with the intent of informing potential future policy decisions related to correctional facilities.
