AI Summary

This bill appropriates $7 million from the General Fund to the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision specifically to address and eliminate the existing backlog of sex offender risk assessments. Risk assessments are important evaluations that help determine the potential threat level of convicted sex offenders, which can impact their supervision, restrictions, and potential rehabilitation requirements. The funding is designated for the two-year period (biennium) beginning July 1, 2025, and is intended to support completing risk assessments using the methodology outlined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 163A.100. By providing these funds, the bill aims to ensure that all sex offenders are properly evaluated and categorized according to their assessed risk level, which can help improve public safety and the management of offender supervision.
