CONFLICT
AMENDMENTS
SECTION 36. If House Bill 3100
becomes law, section 12 of this 2011 Act (amending ORS 161.327) is repealed and
ORS 161.327, as amended by section 3, chapter 724, Oregon Laws 2011 (Enrolled
House Bill 3100), is amended to read:
161.327. [(1) Following the entry of a judgment pursuant to ORS 161.319, the
court shall order that a person be placed under the jurisdiction of the
Psychiatric Security Review Board for care and treatment if:]
[(a)
The person was found guilty except for insanity of a felony; and]
[(b)
The court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the person is affected
by mental disease or defect and presents a substantial danger to others that
requires commitment or conditional release.]
[(2)
The court shall determine whether the person should be committed or
conditionally released pending any hearing before the board as follows:]
(1) Following the entry of a
judgment pursuant to ORS 161.319, if the court finds by a preponderance of the
evidence that a person found guilty except for insanity of a felony is affected
by mental disease or defect and presents a substantial danger to others, the
court shall enter an order as follows:
(a) If the court finds that the person
[presents a substantial danger to others
and] is not a proper subject for conditional release, the court shall order
the person committed to a state hospital [designated
by the Oregon Health Authority if the person is at least 18 years of age,]
or, if the person is under 18 years of age, to a secure intensive
community inpatient facility [designated
by the authority or the Department of Human Services if the person is under 18
years of age,] for custody, care and treatment [pending hearing before the board in accordance with ORS 161.341 to
161.351]. When the court orders a person committed under this paragraph,
the court shall place the person under the jurisdiction of:
(A) The Psychiatric Security Review
Board, if the person is a tier one offender.
(B) The Oregon Health Authority, if
the person is a tier two offender.
(b) If the court finds that the person
[presents a substantial danger to others
but that the person] can be adequately controlled with supervision and
treatment if conditionally released and that necessary supervision and
treatment are available, the court [may]
shall order the person conditionally released.
[(3)]
(2) When a person is conditionally released under this section, the person
is subject to those supervisory orders of the court as are in the best
interests of justice, the protection of society and the welfare of the person.
The court shall designate a person or state, county or local agency to
supervise the person upon release, subject to those conditions as the court
directs in the order for conditional release. Prior to the designation, the
court shall notify the person or agency to whom conditional release is
contemplated and provide the person or agency an opportunity to be heard before
the court. After receiving an order entered under subsection [(2)(b)] (1)(b) of this section,
the person or agency designated shall assume supervision of the person pursuant
to the direction of the Psychiatric Security Review Board. The person or agency
designated as supervisor shall be required to report in writing no less than
once per month to the board concerning the supervised person’s compliance with
the conditions of release.
[(4)
For purposes of this section, a person affected by a mental disease or defect
in a state of remission is considered to have a mental disease or defect
requiring supervision when the disease may, with reasonable medical
probability, occasionally become active and, when active, render the person a
danger to others.]
[(5)]
(3) In determining whether a person should be conditionally released, the
court:
(a) May order evaluations,
examinations and compliance as provided in ORS 161.336 (4) and 161.346 (2); [and]
(b) Shall order that the person be
examined by a local mental health program designated by the board and a report
of the examination be provided to the court if each felony for which the
defendant was found guilty except for insanity is a Class C felony[.]; and
[(6)]
(c) [In determining whether a person
should be committed to a state hospital or to a secure intensive community
inpatient facility or conditionally released, the court] Shall have as its
primary concern the protection of society.
[(7)]
(4) Upon placing a person on conditional release, the court shall notify
the board in writing of the court’s conditional release order, the supervisor
appointed, and all other conditions of release, and the person shall be on
conditional release pending hearing before the board [in accordance with ORS 161.336 to 161.351]. Upon compliance with
this section, the court’s jurisdiction over the person is terminated [and the board assumes jurisdiction over the
person].
[(8)]
(5) The total period of [jurisdiction
of the board is equal to] commitment or conditional release under ORS
161.315 to 161.351 may not exceed the maximum sentence provided by statute
for the crime for which the person was found guilty except for insanity.
[(9)]
(6) An order of the court under this section is a final order appealable by
the person found guilty except for insanity in accordance with ORS 19.205 (5).
Notwithstanding ORS 19.255, notice of an appeal under this section shall be
served and filed within 90 days after the order appealed from is entered in the
register. The person shall be entitled on appeal to suitable counsel possessing
skills and experience commensurate with the nature and complexity of the case.
If the person is financially eligible, suitable counsel shall be appointed in
the manner provided in ORS 138.500 (1), and the compensation for counsel and
costs and expenses of the person necessary to the appeal shall be determined
and paid as provided in ORS 138.500.
[(10)]
(7) [Upon placing a person under the
jurisdiction of the board] Following the entry of an order described in
subsection (1) of this section, the court shall notify the person of the
right to appeal and the right to a hearing before the [board] agency exercising jurisdiction over the person in
accordance with ORS 161.336 [(7)]
(5) and 161.341 [(4)] (3).
SECTION 37. If House Bill 3100
becomes law, section 13 of this 2011 Act (amending ORS 161.328) is repealed and
ORS 161.328, as amended by section 4, chapter 724, Oregon Laws 2011 (Enrolled

161.328. (1) Following the entry of a

hospital or other facility designated by the Oregon Health Authority if:
(a) Each offense for which the person
is found guilty except for insanity is a misdemeanor; and
(b) The court finds that the person is
affected by mental disease or defect and presents a substantial danger to
others that requires commitment.
(2) The total period of commitment under
this section may not exceed the maximum sentence provided by statute for the
crime for which the person was found guilty except for insanity.
(3) If the superintendent of the state
mental hospital or the director of the facility to which the person is committed
determines that a person committed under this section is no longer affected by
mental disease or defect or, if so affected, no longer presents a substantial
danger to others that requires commitment, the superintendent or director shall
file notice of that determination with the committing court. Upon filing of the
notice, the superintendent or director shall discharge the person from custody.

incarceration as a sanction for violating the conditions of probation, parole
or post-prison supervision, the sentencing court shall stay execution of the sentence
pending the conditional release or discharge of the person or the expiration of
the period of time described in ORS 161.327 [(6)] (5). When the person is conditionally released or
discharged by the agency having jurisdiction over the person under ORS 161.315
to 161.351, or when the maximum period of jurisdiction described in ORS 161.327
[(6)] (5) expires, the stay
shall be lifted by operation of law and the person shall be delivered to the
custody of the Department of Corrections or the supervisory authority to begin
service of the sentence imposed.
(2) When a person described in
subsection (1) of this section is delivered to the custody of the department or
the supervisory authority as described in this section, the agency having
jurisdiction over the person while the person was committed to a state hospital
or a secure intensive community inpatient facility shall notify the department
or the supervisory authority when the period of time described in ORS 161.327 [(6)] (5) will expire.
(3) The department or supervisory
authority shall notify the Psychiatric Security Review Board when the person
has served the term of incarceration imposed by the court and the board shall
