AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) to conduct a comprehensive study examining how different types of criminal sentences impact recidivism rates (the likelihood of a person re-offending after being released from prison or completing a sentence). The commission is required to complete this study and submit a detailed report to the legislative assembly's interim judiciary committees by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations based on the study's findings. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, after which the commission will no longer be required to perform this specific research task. The bill appears aimed at helping policymakers better understand the effectiveness of various sentencing approaches in reducing repeat criminal behavior, which could potentially inform future criminal justice policy reforms.
