Bill > SB256

This bill requires the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision (SBPPPS) to conduct a comprehensive study on parole-related issues and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on judiciary matters by September 15, 2026. The bill mandates that the report be prepared according to ORS 192.245 (a statute governing the format and submission of official reports) and allows the board to include potential legislative recommendations. 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 state parole board to examine and potentially propose improvements to the parole system. The study is likely intended to provide lawmakers with insights into current parole practices, challenges, and potential reforms that could enhance the state's approach to prisoner reintegration and supervision.
