Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act tells DOJ to report each year to an interim committee on court cases in the previous year that made the state have to pay money. (Flesch Readability Score: 66.6). Directs the Department of Justice to report each year to an interim committee of the Legislative Assembly related to the judiciary on court cases in the previous year that have resulted in a judg- ment against the state or in a settlement that requires the state to pay money to another party.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) to submit an annual report to a legislative committee focused on judicial matters by September 15th of each year. The report must detail court cases from the previous year in which the state was either found liable through a legal judgment or entered into a settlement requiring monetary payment to another party. Specifically, the report must include the names and case numbers of such legal proceedings, along with the exact amounts of judgments and settlement payments the state is obligated to make. The reporting requirement is designed to provide legislative oversight and transparency regarding the state's legal liabilities and financial obligations resulting from court cases. The bill references ORS 192.245, which likely specifies the standard reporting format for such legislative communications, and the bill is labeled with the legislative counsel (LC) number 121, indicating it has been reviewed by the state's legal drafting office.
