violation of ORS 475.840 (3)(a), 475.854, 475.864 (2) or 475.874, the district
attorney and the defendant agree to treat the charged offense as a Class A
misdemeanor, the court may allow the offense to be treated as a Class A
misdemeanor by stipulation of the parties.
(4) If a Class C felony or a violation
of ORS 475.840 (3)(a), 475.854, 475.864 (2) or 475.874 is treated as a Class A
misdemeanor under this section, the court shall clearly denominate the offense
as a Class A misdemeanor in any judgment entered in the matter.
(5) If no election or stipulation is
made under this section, the case proceeds as a felony.
(6) Before a district attorney may
make an election under subsection (2) of this section, the district attorney
shall adopt written guidelines for determining when and under what
circumstances the election may be made. The district attorney shall apply the
guidelines uniformly.
(7) Notwithstanding ORS 161.635, the [maximum] fine that a court may impose
upon conviction of a misdemeanor under this section may not:
(a) Be less than the minimum fine
established by section 10 of this 2011 Act for a felony; or
(b) Exceed
the amount provided in ORS 161.625 for the class of felony receiving Class A
misdemeanor treatment.
SECTION 19. The amendments to ORS
161.566, 161.568 and 161.570 by sections 16 to 18 of this 2011 Act apply only
to offenses committed on or after January 1, 2012. Any offense committed before
January 1, 2012, shall continue to be governed by ORS 161.566, 161.568 and
161.570, as in effect immediately before January 1, 2012.

SECTION 20. ORS 161.715 is amended to
read:
161.715. (1) Any court empowered to
suspend imposition or execution of sentence or to sentence a defendant to
probation may discharge the defendant if:
(a) The conviction is for an offense
other than murder, treason or a Class A or B felony; and
(b) The court is of the opinion that
no proper purpose would be served by imposing any condition upon the defendant’s
release.
(2) If a sentence of discharge is
imposed for a felony, the court shall set forth in the record the reasons for
its action.
(3) If the court imposes a sentence of
discharge, the defendant shall be released with respect to the conviction for
which the sentence is imposed without imprisonment, [fine,] probationary supervision or conditions. The judgment
entered by the court shall include a monetary obligation payable to the state
in an amount equal to the minimum fine for the offense established by section
10 of this 2011 Act.
(4) If a defendant pleads not guilty
and is tried and found guilty, a sentence of discharge is a judgment on a
conviction for all purposes, including an appeal by the defendant.
(5) If a defendant pleads guilty, a
sentence of discharge is not appealable, but for all other purposes is a
judgment on a conviction.
FINES IN
JUVENILE PROCEEDINGS
SECTION 21. ORS 419C.459 is amended
to read:
419C.459. [In circumstances under which, if the youth offender were an adult, a
fine not exceeding a certain amount could be imposed under the Oregon Criminal
Code, the court may impose such a fine upon the youth offender. In determining
whether to impose a fine and, if so, then in what amount, the court shall
consider whether the youth offender will be able to pay a fine and whether
payment of a fine is likely to have a rehabilitative effect on the youth
offender. Fines ordered paid under this section shall be collected by the clerk
of the court.] If a youth is found to be within the jurisdiction of the
court under ORS 419C.005 by reason of committing an offense or by reason of
committing an act that would constitute an offense if committed by an adult,
the youth offender is subject to the same fines, including the minimum fines
established under sections 4 and 10 of this 2011 Act, that are applicable to
adults who commit the offense. In determining the amount of the fine, the court
shall consider the potential rehabilitative effect of a fine.
SECTION 22. The amendments to ORS
419C.459 by section 21 of this 2011 Act apply only to acts committed on or
after January 1, 2012. Any act committed before January 1, 2012, shall continue
to be governed by ORS 419C.459 as in effect immediately before January 1, 2012.
CITATIONS
SECTION 23. ORS 153.051 is amended to
read:
153.051. A summons in a violation
citation is sufficient if it contains the following:

the person cited, the date on which the citation was issued, the name of the
enforcement officer issuing the citation, and the time and place at which the
person cited is to appear in court.
(2) A statement or designation of the
violation that can be readily understood by a person making a reasonable effort
to do so and the date, time and place at which the violation is alleged to have
been committed.
(3) A notice to the person cited that
a complaint will be filed with the court based on the violation.
(4) The amount of the [base] presumptive fine, if any,
fixed for the violation.
(5) A statement notifying the person
that a monetary judgment may be entered against the person for up to the
maximum amount of fines, [assessments,]
restitution and other costs allowed by law for the violation if the person
fails to make all required appearances at the proceedings.
(6) A statement notifying the
person that, if the person pleads no contest and delivers to the court the
amount of the presumptive fine indicated on the citation, and the court accepts
the plea, the amount of the fine imposed against the defendant may not exceed
the amount of the presumptive fine indicated on the citation.
(7) A statement notifying the person
that, if the person pleads no contest and delivers to the court the amount of
the presumptive fine indicated on the citation:
(a) The person may submit an
explanation of the circumstances of the violation; and
(b) The court may consider the
explanation in establishing the amount of the fine, but in no event can the
court impose a fine that is less than the minimum fine established under
section 4 of this 2011 Act.
(8) A statement notifying the person
that, if the person pleads not guilty and requests a trial, the court cannot
impose a fine that is less than the minimum fine established under section 4 of
this 2011 Act unless the person is found not guilty, in which case no fine will
be imposed.
SECTION 24. The amendments to ORS
153.051 by section 23 of this 2011 Act apply only to citations issued on or
after January 1, 2012. Any citation issued before January 1, 2012, shall
continue to be governed by ORS 153.051 as in effect immediately before January
1, 2012.
SECTION 25. ORS 153.061 is amended to
read:
153.061. (1) Except as provided in [subsection (2)] subsections (2) and
(3) of this section, a defendant who has been issued a violation citation
must either:
(a) Make a first appearance by
personally appearing in court at the time indicated in the summons; or
(b) Make a first appearance in the
manner provided in subsection [(3)]
(4) of this section before the time indicated in the summons.
(2) If a defendant [has been] is issued a violation
citation for careless driving under ORS 811.135 on which a police officer noted
that the offense contributed to an accident and that a vulnerable user
of a public way suffered serious physical injury or death by reason of the
offense, the officer may not enter the amount of the presumptive fine on
the summons and the defendant must make a first appearance by personally
appearing in court at the time indicated in the summons.
(3) If a corporation is issued a
violation citation, the police officer may not enter the amount of the
presumptive fine on the summons and the defendant must make a first appearance
by appearing in court at the time indicated in the summons.
[(3)]
(4) Except as provided in this section, a defendant who has been issued a
violation citation may make a first appearance in the matter before the time
indicated in the summons by one of the following means:
(a) The defendant may submit to the court
a written or oral request for a trial.
(b) The defendant may enter a plea of
no contest by delivering to the court the summons[,] and a check or money order in the amount of the [base] presumptive fine set forth
in the summons[, and a statement of matters
in explanation or mitigation of the violation charged]. The [delivery of a statement of matters in
explanation or mitigation] entry of a plea under the provisions of
this paragraph constitutes a waiver of trial and consent to the entry of a
judgment forfeiting the [base]
presumptive fine [based on the
statement and any other testimony or written statements that may be presented
to the court by the citing officer or other witnesses]. A no contest
plea under this section is not subject to the requirements of ORS chapter 135
relating to the entry of pleas and, upon receipt of the plea, the court may
enter judgment against the defendant without taking further evidence.
[(c)
The defendant may execute the appearance, waiver of trial and plea of guilty
that appears on the summons and deliver the summons and a check or money order
in the amount of the base fine set forth in the summons to the court. The
defendant may attach a statement of matters in explanation or mitigation of the
violation.]
[(4)]
(5) The court may require that a defendant requesting a trial under
subsection [(3)(a)] (4) of
this section deposit an amount equal to the [base] presumptive fine [specified
under ORS 153.125 to 153.145] established under sections 2 and 3 of this
2011 Act or such other amount as the court determines appropriate if the
defendant has failed to appear in any court on one or more other charges in the
past. If the defendant does not deposit the amount specified by the court, the
defendant must personally appear in court at the time indicated in the summons.
The amount deposited by the defendant may be applied against any fine imposed
by the court, and any amount not so applied shall be refunded to the defendant
at the conclusion of the proceedings.
[(5)
If the defendant personally appears in court at the time indicated in the
summons and enters a plea of guilty, the judge shall consider any statement in
explanation or mitigation made by the defendant.]
(6) The court may require a defendant
to appear personally in any case, or may require that all defendants appear in
specified categories of cases.
(7) If a defendant has entered a no
contest plea [or guilty plea] in the
manner provided in subsection [(3)(b) or
(c)] (4) of this section, and the court determines that the [base] presumptive fine [amount] is not adequate by reason of
previous convictions of the defendant, the nature of the offense charged or
other circumstances, the court may require that a trial be held unless an
additional fine amount is paid by the defendant before a specified date. Notice
of an additional fine amount under this subsection may be given to the
defendant by mail. In no event may the court require a total fine amount in
excess of the maximum fine established for the violation by statute.
(8) If a defendant fails to make a
first appearance on a citation for a traffic violation, as defined by ORS
801.557, fails to make a first appearance on a citation for a violation of ORS
471.430, or fails to appear at any other subsequent time set for trial or other
appearance, the driving privileges of the defendant are subject to suspension
under ORS 809.220.
SECTION 25a. ORS 153.099 is amended
to read:
153.099. (1) If a trial is held in a
violation proceeding, the court shall enter a judgment based on the evidence
presented at the trial.
(2) If the defendant appears and
enters a plea of no contest in the manner described in ORS 153.061 [(3)(b),] (4) and a trial is not
otherwise required by the court or by law, the court shall make a decision
based on the citation[, the statement
filed by the defendant and any other information or materials submitted to the
court]. The court may consider any statement of explanation submitted
with the plea.
[(3)
If the defendant enters a plea of guilty in the manner described in ORS 153.061
(3)(c), a trial is not otherwise required by the court or by law and the court
accepts the plea of guilty, judgment shall be entered against the defendant
based on the violation citation.]
SECTION 26. The amendments to ORS
153.061 and 153.099 by sections 25 and 25a of this 2011 Act apply only to
violation citations issued, and violation proceedings commenced by citations
issued, on or after January 1, 2012. Any citation issued, and violation
proceeding commenced by a citation issued, before January 1, 2012, shall
continue to be governed by ORS 153.061 as in effect immediately before January
1, 2012.
JUDGMENTS
SECTION 27. ORS 153.090 is amended to
read:
153.090. (1) Judgments entered under
this chapter may include:
(a) Imposition of a sentence to pay a
fine;
(b) Costs[, assessments] and restitution authorized by law;
[(c)
A requirement that the fine, costs, assessments and restitution, if any, be
paid out of any base fine;]
[(d)
Remission of any balance of a base fine to the defendant or to any other person
designated by the defendant; and]
(c) A requirement that the fine,
costs and restitution, if any, be paid out of the presumptive fine;
(d) Remission of any balance of a
presumptive fine to the defendant; and
(e) Any other provision authorized by
law.
(2) Notwithstanding ORS 137.106, if
the court orders restitution in a default judgment entered under ORS 153.102, a
defendant may allege an inability to pay the full amount of monetary sanctions
imposed, including restitution, and request a hearing to determine whether the
defendant is unable to pay or to establish a payment schedule by filing a
written request with the court within one year after the entry of the judgment.
The court shall set a hearing on the issue of the defendant’s ability to pay
upon receipt of the request and shall give notice to the district attorney. The
district attorney shall give notice to the victim of the date, time and place
of the hearing. The court may determine a payment schedule for monetary sanctions
imposed, including restitution ordered under this subsection, if the defendant
establishes at the hearing that the defendant is unable to pay the ordered
restitution in full.
(3) If a trial is held in a violation
proceeding, or a default judgment is entered against the defendant under ORS
153.102, the court may impose any fine within the statutory limits for the
violation. If a defendant pleads no contest under ORS 153.061 [(3)(b)] (4)[, or pleads guilty under ORS 153.061 (3)(c),] and the court accepts
the plea and enters judgment against the defendant, the amount of the fine
imposed against the defendant by the court may not exceed the [amount of the base] presumptive
fine established for the violation under [ORS
153.125 to 153.145] sections 2 and 3 of this 2011 Act.
(4) A judge may suspend operation of
any part of a judgment entered under this chapter upon condition that the
defendant pay the nonsuspended portion of a fine within a specified period of
time. If the defendant fails to pay the nonsuspended portion of the fine within
the specified period of time, the suspended portion of the judgment becomes
operative without further proceedings by the court and the suspended portion of
the fine becomes immediately due and payable.
(5) The court may not recommend a
suspension of the defendant’s driving privileges unless a trial has been
required. The failure of the defendant to appear at the trial does not prevent
the court from recommending suspension of the defendant’s driving privileges.
(6) Entry of a default judgment under
ORS 153.102 does not preclude the arrest and prosecution of the defendant for
the crime of failure to appear in a violation proceeding under ORS 153.992.
(7) If a person holds a commercial
driver license, a court may not defer entry of a judgment or allow an
individual to enter into a diversion program that would prevent a conviction
for a traffic offense from appearing on the driving record of the holder. This
subsection applies to all traffic offenses, whether committed while driving a
motor vehicle or a commercial motor vehicle, but does not apply to parking
violations. For purposes of this subsection, a person holds a commercial driver
license if on the date of the commission of the offense the person holds a
commercial driver license issued by the Department of Transportation or the
licensing agency of another jurisdiction that is:
(a) Not expired or if expired, expired
less than one year; or
(b) Suspended, but not canceled or
revoked.
SECTION 28. The amendments to ORS
153.090 by section 27 of this 2011 Act apply only to judgments in violation
proceedings commenced by citations issued on or after January 1, 2012. Any
judgment in a violation proceeding commenced by a citation issued before
January 1, 2012, shall continue to be governed by ORS 153.090 as in effect
immediately before January 1, 2012.
SECTION 29. ORS 153.108 is amended to
read:
153.108. (1) Notwithstanding ORS
131.505 to 131.535, if a person commits both a crime and a violation as part of
the same criminal episode, the prosecution for one offense shall not bar the
subsequent prosecution for the other. However, evidence of the first conviction
shall not be admissible in any subsequent prosecution for the other offense.
(2) Notwithstanding ORS 43.130 and
43.160, [no] a plea, finding
or [proceeding upon any violation shall]
judgment in a violation proceeding, or the fact that a violation proceeding has
been brought against a defendant, may not be used for the purpose of res
judicata or collateral estoppel, [nor
shall any plea, finding or proceeding upon any violation be admissible]
or be admitted as evidence in any civil proceeding.
SECTION 30. ORS 41.905 is amended to
read:
41.905. [(1)] A plea to a charge of a traffic crime, as defined in ORS
801.545, and any judgment of conviction or acquittal of a person charged
with a traffic [offense] crime, as
defined by ORS 801.545, [is]
are not admissible in the trial of a subsequent civil action arising out of
the same accident or occurrence to prove or negate the facts upon which such
judgment was rendered.
[(2)
A plea of guilty by a person to a traffic offense may be admitted as evidence
in the trial of a subsequent civil action arising out of the same accident or
occurrence as an admission of the person entering the plea, and for no other
purpose.]
[(3)
Evidence that a person has entered a plea of no contest in the manner described
in ORS 153.061 (3)(b) to a charge of a traffic offense shall not be admitted as
evidence in the trial of a subsequent civil action arising out of the same
accident or occurrence.]
SECTION 31. The amendments to ORS
41.905 and 153.108 by sections 29 and 30 of this 2011 Act apply only to
offenses committed on or after January 1, 2012. Any offense committed before
January 1, 2012, shall continue to be governed by ORS 41.905 and 153.108 as in
effect immediately before January 1, 2012.

ACTION
(Priorities
for Application of Payments)
SECTION 32. Sections 33 to 38 of
this 2011 Act are added to and made a part of ORS chapter 137.
SECTION 33. Priorities for
application of payments on judgments in criminal actions. (1) There are
five levels of priority for application of payments on judgments of conviction
in criminal actions, with Level I obligations having the highest priority and
Level V having the lowest priority. All payments on a judgment of conviction in
a criminal action shall be applied first against the unpaid obligations in the
level with highest priority until those obligations have been paid in full, and
shall then be applied against the obligations in the level with the next
highest level of priority, until all obligations under the judgment have been
paid in full.
(2) Except as provided in section 35
of this 2011 Act, if there is more than one person or public body to whom an
obligation is payable under a level, the court shall divide each payment based
on each person’s or public body’s proportionate share of the total amount of
obligations in that level.
SECTION 34. Level I obligations.
Compensatory fines under ORS 137.101 are Level I obligations.
SECTION 35. Level II
obligations. (1) There are two types of Level II obligations:
(a) Type 1 obligations include awards
of restitution as defined in ORS 137.103, awards of restitution under ORS
419C.450 and money awards made under ORS 811.706.
(b) Type 2 obligations include all
fines and other monetary obligations payable to the state for which the law
does not expressly provide other disposition, including fines payable to the
state by justice and municipal courts under sections 6b, 48 and 49 of this 2011
Act.
(2) If a judgment contains both types
of Level II obligations, the court shall apply 50 percent of amounts creditable
to Level II obligations to Type 1 obligations and 50 percent of the amounts to
Type 2 obligations, until all obligations in one of the two types have been
paid in full. All subsequent amounts creditable to Level II obligations shall
be applied against the other type of obligations until those obligations have
been paid in full.
(3) If there is more than one person
for whose benefit a Type 1 money award has been made, the clerk shall pay the
moneys credited to Type 1 obligations in the following order of priority:
(a) If the judgment contains a money
award payable to the person or persons against whom the defendant committed the
offense, the clerk shall first pay all moneys credited to Type 1 obligations to
those persons, and shall continue to do so until all those obligations are paid
in full. If there is more than one person to whom an obligation is payable
under this paragraph, the court shall divide each payment under this paragraph
based on each person’s proportionate share of the total amount of obligations
subject to payment under this paragraph.
(b) If the judgment contains a money
award payable to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Account, the clerk shall
thereafter transfer moneys credited to Type 1 obligations to the account until
the award is paid in full.
(c) If the judgment contains a money
award payable to any other victims, as defined in ORS 137.103, the clerk shall
thereafter pay the moneys credited to Type 1 obligations to those victims until
those victims are paid in full.
SECTION 36. Level III
obligations. Level III obligations are fines payable to a county or city.
SECTION 37. Level IV
obligations. Level IV obligations are amounts that the law expressly
directs be paid to a specific account or public body as defined in ORS 174.109.
SECTION 38. Level V
obligations. Level V obligations are amounts payable for reward
reimbursement under ORS 131.897.
SECTION 39. Sections 33 to 38 of
this 2011 Act and the repeal of ORS 137.295 by section 118 of this 2011 Act
apply to all payments on judgments of conviction of an offense, without regard
to whether the offense was committed before, on or after January 1, 2012.
(Application
of Security Deposits Against
Child Support
Obligation)
SECTION 40. ORS 25.715 is amended to
read:
25.715. (1) The court may order that
the portion of a security deposit made under ORS 135.265 that would otherwise
be returned to the person who made the deposit or the amount of child support
arrearages, whichever is less, be paid to an obligee or the Division of Child
Support of the Department of Justice if:
(a) The defendant is an obligor who
owes child support arrearages;
(b) The obligee or the administrator
has filed a motion requesting the court to make such an order;
(c) The obligee or the administrator
has served the defendant with a copy of the motion;
(d) The defendant has an opportunity
to respond and request a hearing; and
(e) The court has determined that such
an order is appropriate.
(2) The court may order that a portion
of a security [amount] deposit
that is forfeited under ORS 135.280 be paid to the division and be applied
to any unsatisfied child support judgment and to provide security for child
support payments in accordance with ORS 25.230 if:
(a) The defendant is an obligor who
owes child support;
(b) The administrator has filed a
motion requesting the court to make such an order;
(c) The motion specifies the amount to
be applied to the child support judgment under ORS 135.280; and
(d) The court has determined that such
an order is appropriate.
SECTION 41. ORS 135.280 is amended to
read:
135.280. (1) Upon failure of a person
to comply with any condition of a release agreement or personal recognizance,
the court having jurisdiction may, in addition to any other action provided by
law, issue a warrant for the arrest of the person at liberty upon a personal
recognizance, conditional or security release.
(2) A warrant issued under subsection
(1) of this section by a municipal judge may be executed by any peace officer
authorized to execute arrest warrants.
(3) If the defendant does not comply
with the conditions of the release agreement, the court having jurisdiction
shall enter an order declaring the entire security amount to be forfeited.
Notice of the order of forfeiture shall be given forthwith by personal service,
by mail or by such other means as are reasonably calculated to bring to the
attention of the defendant and, if applicable, of the sureties the order of
forfeiture. If, within 30 days after the court declares the forfeiture, the
defendant does not appear or satisfy the court having jurisdiction that
appearance and surrender by the defendant was, or still is, impossible and
without fault of the defendant, the court shall enter judgment for the state,
or appropriate political subdivision thereof, against the defendant and, if
applicable, the sureties for the entire security amount set under ORS 135.265
and the costs of the proceedings. At any time before or after entry of the
judgment, the defendant or the sureties may apply to the court for a remission
of the forfeiture or to modify or set aside the judgment. The court, upon good
cause shown, may remit the forfeiture or any part thereof or may modify or set
aside the judgment as in other criminal cases, except the portion of the
security [amount] deposit that
the court ordered to be applied to child support under subsection (4) of this
section, as the court considers reasonable under the circumstances of the case.
The court shall adopt procedures to ensure that the amount deposited under ORS
135.265 is available for a reasonable period of time for disposition under
subsection (4) of this section.
(4) After entry of a judgment for the
state, the court, upon a motion filed under ORS 25.715, may order that a
portion of the security [amount] deposit
be applied to any unsatisfied child support award owed by the defendant and to
provide security for child support payments in accordance with ORS 25.230. The
portion of the security [amount]
deposit that may be applied to the child support award:
(a) Is limited to the amount deposited
under ORS 135.265 (2);
(b) May not exceed 66 percent of the
entire security amount set under ORS 135.265 if the deposit has been made
under ORS 135.265 (3); and
(c) Does not reduce the money award in
the judgment entered under subsection (3) of this section that is owed to the
state.
(5) When judgment is entered in favor
of the state, or any political subdivision of the state, on any security given
for a release, the judgment may be enforced as a judgment in a civil action. If
entered in circuit court, the judgment shall be entered in the register, and
the clerk of the court shall note in the register that the judgment creates a
judgment lien. The district attorney, county counsel or city attorney may have
execution issued on the judgment and deliver same to the sheriff to be executed
by levy on the deposit or security amount made in accordance with ORS 135.265,
or may collect the judgment as otherwise provided by law. The proceeds of any
execution or collection shall be used to satisfy the judgment and costs and
paid into the treasury of the municipal corporation wherein the security was
taken if the offense was defined by an ordinance of a political subdivision of
this state, or paid into the treasury of the county wherein the security was
taken if the offense was defined by a statute of this state and the judgment
was entered by a justice court, or paid over as directed by the State Court
Administrator for deposit in the Criminal Fine [and Assessment] Account [created
under ORS 137.300], if the offense was defined by a statute of this state
and the judgment was entered by a circuit court. The provisions of this section
shall not apply to [base fine]
amounts deposited upon appearance under ORS 153.061.
(6) When the judgment of forfeiture is
entered, the security deposit or deposit with the clerk is, by virtue of the
judgment alone and without requiring further execution, forfeited to and may be
kept by the state or its appropriate political subdivision. Except as provided
in subsection (4) of this section, the clerk shall reduce, by the value of the
deposit so forfeited, the debt remaining on the judgment and shall cause the
amount on deposit to be transferred to the revenue account of the state or
political subdivision thereof entitled to receive the proceeds of execution under
this section.
(7) The stocks, bonds, personal
property and real property shall be sold in the same manner as in execution
sales in civil actions and the proceeds of such sale shall be used to satisfy
all court costs, prior encumbrances, if any, and from the balance a sufficient
amount to satisfy the judgment shall be paid into the treasury of the municipal
corporation wherein the security was taken if the offense was defined by an
ordinance of a political subdivision of this state, or paid into the treasury
of the county wherein the security was taken if the offense was defined by a
statute of this state and the judgment was entered by a justice court, or
deposited in the General Fund available for general governmental expenses if
