JUDGMENT

 

(Generally)

 

            137.010 Duty of court to ascertain and impose punishment. (1) The statutes that define offenses impose a duty upon the court having jurisdiction to pass sentence in accordance with this section or, for felonies committed on or after November 1, 1989, in accordance with rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission unless otherwise specifically provided by law.

            (2) If it cannot be determined whether the felony was committed on or after November 1, 1989, the defendant shall be sentenced as if the felony had been committed prior to November 1, 1989.

            (3) Except when a person is convicted of a felony committed on or after November 1, 1989, if the court is of the opinion that it is in the best interests of the public as well as of the defendant, the court may suspend the imposition or execution of any part of a sentence for any period of not more than five years. The court may extend the period of suspension beyond five years in accordance with subsection (4) of this section.

            (4) If the court suspends the imposition or execution of a part of a sentence for an offense other than a felony committed on or after November 1, 1989, the court may also impose and execute a sentence of probation on the defendant for a definite or indefinite period of not more than five years. However, upon a later finding that a defendant sentenced to probation for a felony has violated a condition of the probation and in lieu of revocation, the court may order the period of both the suspended sentence and the sentence of probation extended until a date not more than six years from the date of original imposition of sentence. Time during which the probationer has absconded from supervision and a bench warrant has been issued for the probationer's arrest shall not be counted in determining the time elapsed since imposition of the sentence of probation.

            (5) If the court announces that it intends to suspend imposition or execution of any part of a sentence, the defendant may, at that time, object and request imposition of the full sentence. In no case, however, does the defendant have a right to refuse the court's order, and the court may suspend imposition or execution of a part of the sentence despite the defendant's objection or request. If the court further announces that it intends to sentence the defendant to a period of probation, the defendant may, at that time, object and request that a sentence of probation or its conditions not be imposed or that different conditions be imposed. In no case, however, does the defendant have the right to refuse a sentence of probation or any of the conditions of the probation, and the court may sentence the defendant to probation subject to conditions despite the defendant's objection or request.

            (6) The power of the judge of any court to suspend execution of any part of a sentence or to sentence any person convicted of a crime to probation shall continue until the person is delivered to the custody of the Department of Corrections.

            (7) When a person is convicted of an offense and the court does not suspend the imposition or execution of any part of a sentence or when a suspended sentence or sentence of probation is revoked, the court shall impose the following sentence:

            (a) A term of imprisonment;

            (b) A fine;

            (c) Both imprisonment and a fine; or

            (d) Discharge of the defendant.

            (8) This section does not deprive the court of any authority conferred by law to decree a forfeiture of property, suspend or cancel a license, remove a person from office or impose any other civil penalty. An order exercising that authority may be included as part of the judgment of conviction.

            (9) When imposing sentence for a felony committed on or after November 1, 1989, the court shall complete a sentencing report form as established under section 7, chapter 790, Oregon Laws 1989. The completed form shall be submitted to the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission forthwith.

            (10) A judgment of conviction that includes a term of imprisonment for a felony committed on or after November 1, 1989, shall state the length of incarceration and the length of post-prison supervision. The judgment of conviction shall also provide that if the defendant violates the conditions of post-prison supervision, the defendant shall be subject to sanctions including the possibility of additional imprisonment in accordance with rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission. [Amended by 1971 c.743 s.322; 1981 c.181 s.1; 1987 c.320 s.27; 1989 c.790 s.6; 1989 c.849 s.1; 1993 c.14 s.1]

 

            137.012 Suspension of imposition or execution of sentence of person convicted of certain sexual offenses; term of probation. If the court suspends the imposition or execution of a part of a sentence of, or imposes a sentence of probation on, any person convicted of violating or attempting to violate ORS 163.375, 163.405, 163.408, 163.411, 163.425 or 163.427, the court shall sentence the defendant to probation for a period of at least five years and no more than the maximum statutory indeterminate sentence for the offense. [1991 c.831 s.2; 1993 c.14 s.2; 1993 c.301 s.2]

 

            Note: 137.012 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 137 by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.

 

            Note: Section 3, chapter 831, Oregon Laws 1991, provides:            Sec. 3. The provisions of ORS 137.012 and 144.103 apply to persons convicted of an offense occurring on or after September 29, 1991. [1991 c.831 s.3; 1993 c.18 s.177]

 

            137.013 Appearance by victim at time of sentencing. At the time of sentencing, the victim or the victim's next of kin has the right to appear personally or by counsel, and has the right to reasonably express any views concerning the crime, the person responsible, the impact of the crime on the victim, and the need for restitution and compensatory fine. [1987 c.2 s.10]

 

            137.015 [1971 c.328 s.1; 1973 c.346 s.1; 1979 c.341 s.1; 1983 c.125 s.1; 1985 c.277 s.1; 1989 c.844 s.1; repealed by 1987 c.905 s.37]

 

            137.017 Disposition of fines, costs and forfeited bail received by court. Except as otherwise specifically provided by law, all fines, costs and forfeited bail ordered paid in criminal actions and proceedings, as defined in ORS 131.005, in the circuit court shall be accounted for and distributed as provided in ORS 137.293 and 137.295, as monetary obligations payable to the state. [1981 s.s. c.3 s.102; 1983 c.763 s.42; 1987 c.905 s.5]

 

            137.020 Time for pronouncing judgment; delay; notice of right to appeal. (1) After a plea or verdict of guilty, or after a verdict against the defendant on a plea of former conviction or acquittal, if the judgment is not arrested or a new trial granted, the court shall appoint a time for pronouncing judgment.

            (2)(a) The time appointed shall be at least two calendar days after the plea or verdict, if the court intends to remain in session so long. If the court does not intend to remain in session at least two calendar days, the time appointed may be sooner than two calendar days, but shall be as remote a time as can reasonably be allowed. However, in the latter case, the judgment shall not be given less than six hours after the plea or verdict, except with the consent of the defendant.

            (b) Except for good cause shown or as otherwise provided in this paragraph, a court shall not delay for more than 31 calendar days after the plea or verdict the sentencing of a defendant held in custody on account of the pending proceedings. Except for good cause shown or as otherwise provided in this paragraph, a court shall not delay for more than 56 calendar days after the plea or verdict the sentencing of a defendant not held in custody on account of the pending proceedings. If the defendant is not in custody and the court does not pronounce judgment within 56 calendar days after the plea or verdict, any period of probation imposed as a part of a subsequent judgment shall begin to run from the date of the plea or verdict.

            (3) If the defendant is in custody following the verdict, the court shall pronounce judgment as soon as practicable, but in any case within seven calendar days following the verdict if no presentence investigation is ordered, and within seven calendar days after delivery of the presentence report to the court if a presentence investigation has been ordered; however, the court may delay pronouncement of judgment beyond the limits of this subsection for good cause shown.

            (4) If the final calendar day a defendant must be sentenced is not a judicial day then sentencing may be delayed until the next judicial day.

            (5) At the time court pronounces judgment the defendant, if present, shall be advised of the right to appeal and of the procedure for protecting such right. If the defendant is not present, the court shall advise the defendant in writing of the right to appeal and of the procedure for protecting such right. [Amended by 1971 c.565 s.18a; 1987 c.242 s.1; 1991 c.111 s.12]

 

            137.030 Presence of defendant at pronouncement of judgment. (1) For the purpose of giving judgment, if the conviction is for a felony, the defendant shall be personally present; but if it is for a misdemeanor, judgment may be given in the absence of the defendant.

            (2) As used in this section, “personally present” means that a defendant:

            (a) Is physically present before the court; or

            (b) Is imprisoned and does not object to appearing before the court by means of simultaneous television transmission allowing the court to observe and communicate with the defendant and the defendant to observe and communicate with the court.

            (3) Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, appearance by simultaneous television transmission shall not be permitted unless the facilities used enable the defendant to consult privately with defense counsel during the proceedings. [Amended by 1993 c.581 s.1; 1997 c.827 s.1]

 

            137.040 Bringing defendant in custody to pronouncement of judgment. If the defendant is in custody, the court shall direct the officer in whose custody the defendant is to bring the defendant before it for judgment; and the officer shall do so accordingly.

 

            137.050 Nonattendance or nonappearance of released defendant when attendance required by court. (1) If the defendant has been released on a release agreement or security deposit and does not appear for judgment when personal attendance is required by the court, the court may order a forfeiture of the security deposit as provided in ORS 135.280. In addition, if the defendant fails to appear as required by the release agreement or security deposit, the court may direct the clerk to issue a bench warrant for the defendant's arrest.

            (2) At any time after the making of the order for the bench warrant, the clerk, on the application of the district attorney, shall issue such warrant, as by the order directed, whether the court is sitting or not. [Amended by 1973 c.836 s.257]

 

            137.060 Form of bench warrant. The bench warrant shall be substantially in the following form:

[Amended by 1957 c.659 s.1; 1971 c.423 s.1]

 

            Note: District courts in Oregon abolished January 15, 1998. Pursuant to section 130, chapter 658, Oregon Laws 1995, Legislative Counsel has substituted words designating “circuit courts” for words designating “district courts” or deleted references to “district courts,” or both, in 137.060. See notes preceding 1.001 for further explanation.

 

            137.070 Counties to which bench warrant may issue; service. The bench warrant mentioned in ORS 137.050 may issue to one or more counties of the state and may be served in the same manner as any other warrant of arrest issued by a magistrate. [Amended by 1973 c.836 s.258]

 

            137.071 Requirements for judgments. This section establishes requirements for judgments in actions and proceedings resulting from a person being accused and tried for the commission of an offense. The judge shall assure the creation and filing of a judgment that complies with this section in such action or proceedings. On appeal, the appellate court may give leave as provided in ORS 19.270 for entry of a judgment that complies with this section but may not reverse or set aside a judgment, determination or disposition on the sole ground that the document fails to comply with this section. No particular form of words is required, but every judgment in a criminal action or proceeding must comply with all the following:

            (1) It must be in writing, plainly titled as a judgment and set forth in a separate document.

            (2) It must clearly identify the court and file number or other identifier used by the court for that case.

            (3) It must clearly identify the defendant.

            (4) It must clearly identify all of the following:

            (a) The attorney for the state; and

            (b) The attorney, if any, for the defendant, whether the court determined the defendant to be indigent for purposes of court appointed counsel in the case, and, if so, whether the court appointed counsel for the defendant in the case. If there is no attorney for the defendant, it must specify whether the defendant knowingly waived any right to an attorney after having been informed of that right.

            (5) It must include the identity of the recorder or reporter for the proceeding or action who is to be served under ORS 138.081.

            (6) It must include any information specifically required by statute or by court rule.

            (7) It must specify clearly the court's determination for each charge in the information, indictment or complaint.

            (8) It must specify clearly the court's disposition, including all legal consequences the court establishes or imposes. If the determination is one of conviction, it must include any suspension of sentence, forfeiture, imprisonment, cancellation of license, removal from office, monetary obligation, probation, conditions of probation, discharge, restitution, community service and all other sentences and legal consequences imposed by the court. Nothing in this subsection requires the judgment to specify any consequences that may result from the determination but are not established or imposed by the court.

            (9) Any money judgment must comply with this subsection and subsection (10) of this section. A judgment that does not comply with this subsection and subsection (10) of this section is subject to not being docketed in the judgment docket as provided under ORS 137.180 until it is amended to become a money judgment and to so comply. A money judgment must include all the following:

            (a) The identity of the judgment creditor.

            (b) The identity of the judgment debtor.

            (c) If restitution or compensatory fine is ordered, the name and address of the person to whom the court should disburse payments. This paragraph does not require the name and address of the victim, but may include other persons designated by the victim who will pass the restitution or fine on to the victim without requiring the victim's name and address to be a public record.

            (d) The amount of the money judgment. The following apply to the amount of the money judgment:

            (A)(i) Except as otherwise provided in sub-subparagraph (ii) of this subparagraph, this paragraph requires both the total amount of the money judgment, excluding any amount that is suspended, and a listing of amounts and identification for the fines, assessments, costs, restitution and any other monetary obligations imposed in the sentence as part of the money judgment.

            (ii) When the court is unable to determine the full amount of restitution at the time of sentencing, the court may include the amount that can be determined or establish a maximum amount based on a recommendation by the district attorney subject to modification under ORS 137.107.

            (B) Except as provided in ORS 137.107, money required to be paid as a condition of probation:

            (i) Is a money judgment that survives and remains payable after revocation of probation if the amount is included in the money judgment section.

            (ii) Is not a money judgment or docketable in the judgment docket and does not survive revocation of probation if not included in the money judgment section, even if the amount is included in another part of the judgment, unless the money judgment is amended under ORS 137.107.

            (e) If other than immediate payment is permitted, the specific terms of payment imposed or allowed by the court.

            (f) A statement specifying whether all or any part of any monetary obligation is suspended. This paragraph does not require a response that no monetary obligation was suspended if that is the case. In those instances where there is no statement that any monetary obligation is suspended, it shall be deemed that no monetary obligation or any part is suspended.

            (10) The requirements of subsection (9) of this section must be presented in the following manner:

            (a) The information must be presented in a separate, discrete section immediately above the judge's signature.

            (b) The separate section must be clearly labeled at its beginning as a money judgment.

            (c) The information required under subsection (9) of this section must be presented in the same order as set forth in that subsection.

            (d) The separate section must contain no other provisions except what is specifically required by this subsection and subsection (9) of this section and shall not include requirements to pay money that are not part of the money judgment.

            (11) It must be signed by the judge rendering the judgment and dated as of the date of signature. [1989 c.472 s.2; 1995 c.117 s.1; 1997 c.526 s.3]

 

            137.072 [1967 c.585 s.2; repealed by 1973 c.836 s.358]

 

            137.073 Applicability of ORS 137.071. (1) The requirements of ORS 137.071 do not apply where the action or proceeding is initiated solely on the basis of a citation adopted under ORS 1.525 that contains a space on the citation for entry of judgment.

            (2) The exemption in subsection (1) of this section does not apply:

            (a) If any indictment, information or complaint other than a citation under ORS 1.525 is filed in the action or proceeding.

            (b) To citations issued in lieu of arrest under ORS 133.055. [1989 c.472 s.3]

 

            137.074 Fingerprints of convicted felons and certain misdemeanants required. When a person is convicted of a felony, a Class A misdemeanor or a sex crime, as defined in ORS 181.594, the court shall ensure that the person's fingerprints have been taken. The law enforcement agency attending upon the court is the agency responsible for obtaining the fingerprints. The agency attending upon the court may, by agreement, arrange for another law enforcement agency to obtain the fingerprints on its behalf. [1989 c.790 s.19; 1997 c.538 s.14]

 

            Note: 137.074 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 137 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.

 

            137.075 [1967 c.585 s.3; 1971 c.743 s.323; repealed by 1973 c.836 s.358]

 

            137.076 Blood sample of certain convicted defendants required; application. (1) This section applies to any person convicted of one of the following offenses:

            (a) Rape, sodomy, unlawful sexual penetration, sexual abuse, public indecency, incest or using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct, as those offenses are defined in ORS 163.355 to 163.427, 163.465 (1)(c), 163.525 and 163.670;

            (b) Burglary, as defined in ORS 164.215 and 164.225, when committed with intent to commit any offense listed in paragraph (a) of this subsection;

            (c) Promoting or compelling prostitution, as defined in ORS 167.012 and 167.017;

            (d) Conspiracy or attempt to commit any felony listed in paragraphs (a) to (c) of this subsection; or

            (e) Murder or aggravated murder.

            (2) When a person is convicted of an offense listed in subsection (1) of this section:

            (a) The person shall, whether or not ordered to do so by the court under paragraph (b) of this subsection, provide a blood sample at the request of the appropriate agency designated in paragraph (c) of this subsection.

            (b) The court shall include in the judgment of conviction an order stating that a blood sample is required to be drawn at the request of the appropriate agency and, unless the convicted person lacks the ability to pay, that the person shall reimburse the appropriate agency for the cost of drawing and transmitting the blood sample. If the judgment sentences the convicted person to probation, the court shall order the convicted person to submit to the drawing of a blood sample as a condition of the probation.

            (c) The appropriate agency shall cause a blood sample to be drawn and transmitted to the Department of State Police. The agency shall cause the sample to be drawn as soon as practicable after conviction, but in the case of any person ordered to serve a term of incarceration as a part of the sentence, prior to the person's release from incarceration. Whenever it is notified by the Department of State Police that a sample is not adequate for analysis, the agency shall draw and transmit an additional sample. The appropriate agency shall be:

            (A) The Department of Corrections, whenever the convicted person is committed to the legal and physical custody of the department.

            (B) In all other cases, the law enforcement agency attending upon the court.

            (3) A blood sample may only be drawn in a medically acceptable manner by a licensed professional nurse, a licensed practical nurse, a qualified medical technician, a licensed physician or a person acting under the direction or control of a licensed physician. A person authorized by this subsection to draw a blood sample shall not be held civilly liable for drawing a sample in a medically acceptable manner in accordance with subsection (2) of this section, ORS 161.325 and 419C.473. The sample shall also be drawn and transmitted in accordance with any procedures that may be established by the Department of State Police. However, no test result or opinion based upon a test result shall be rendered inadmissible as evidence solely because of deviations from procedures adopted by the Department of State Police that do not affect the reliability of the opinion or test result.

            (4) No sample is required to be drawn if:

            (a) The Department of State Police notifies the court or the appropriate agency that it has previously received an adequate blood sample drawn from the convicted person in accordance with this section or ORS 161.325 or 419C.473; or

            (b) The court determines that drawing a sample would create a substantial and unreasonable risk to the health of the convicted person.

            (5) The provisions of subsections (1) to (4) of this section apply to any person who, on September 29, 1991, is serving a term of incarceration as a sentence or as a condition of probation imposed for conviction of an offense listed in subsection (1) of this section, and any such person shall submit to the drawing of a blood sample. Before releasing any such person from incarceration, the supervisory authority shall cause a blood sample to be drawn and transmitted in accordance with subsections (1) to (4) of this section. [1991 c.669 ss.2,5; 1993 c.14 s.3; 1993 c.33 s.298; 1993 c.301 s.3]

 

            Note: Section 8, chapter 301, Oregon Laws 1993, provides:            Sec. 8. The amendments to ORS 137.076 by section 3 of this Act, including sexual abuse in the first degree in the list of crimes conviction of which requires providing a blood sample, apply retroactively to any person who, on or after September 29, 1991:

            (1) Is serving a term of incarceration as a sentence or as a condition of probation imposed for conviction of sexual abuse in the first degree;

            (2) Has been found guilty of sexual abuse in the first degree except for insanity;

            (3) Has been found to be within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court under ORS 419C.005 for having committed an act which, if done by an adult, would constitute sexual abuse in the first degree; or

            (4) Was convicted of sexual abuse in the first degree. [1993 c.301 s.8]

 

            Note: 137.076 (5) was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 137 by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.

 

 

(Presentence Report)

 

            137.077 Presentence report; general principles of disclosure. The presentence report is not a public record and shall be available only to:

            (1) The sentencing court for the purpose of assisting the court in determining the proper sentence to impose and to other judges who participate in a sentencing council discussion of the defendant. The sentencing judge may disclose information from the presentence report that is necessary to address the content of the report, examine the reasoning for a sentencing recommendation or to explain the reasons for the sentence imposed. Appellate judges may disclose information from the presentence report that is necessary for legal analysis of the case or to report the reasoning of the appellate court.

            (2) The Department of Corrections, State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision and other persons or agencies having a legitimate professional interest in the information likely to be contained therein. These agencies or persons may make the presentence report, or any reports based on the contents of that report, available to the victim.

            (3) Appellate or review courts where relevant to an issue on which an appeal is taken or post-conviction relief sought.

            (4) The district attorney, the defendant or the counsel of the defendant, as provided in ORS 137.079. The district attorney and counsel of the defendant may retain a copy of the presentence report as a part of the permanent records of the case. The district attorney and counsel of the defendant may disclose the contents of the presentence report to individuals or agencies when preparing for the sentencing of the defendant. “Individuals and agencies” include victims, psychologists, psychiatrists, medical doctors and any other person or agency who may assist the state or the defendant at the time of sentencing. [1973 c.836 s.260; 1987 c.320 s.28; 1989 c.408 s.1]

 

            137.079 Presentence report; other writings considered in imposing sentence; disclosure to parties; court's authority to except parts from disclosure. (1) A copy of the presentence report and all other written information concerning the defendant that the court considers in the imposition of sentence shall be made available to the district attorney, the defendant or defendant's counsel at least five judicial days before the sentencing of the defendant. All other written information, when received by the court outside the presence of counsel, shall either be summarized by the court in a memorandum available for inspection or summarized by the court on the record before sentence is imposed.

            (2) The court may except from disclosure parts of the presentence report or other written information described in subsection (1) of this section which are not relevant to a proper sentence, diagnostic opinions which might seriously disrupt a program of rehabilitation if known by the defendant, or sources of information which were obtainable with an expectation of confidentiality.

            (3) If parts of the presentence report or other written information described in subsection (1) of this section are not disclosed under subsection (2) of this section, the court shall inform the parties that information has not been disclosed and shall state for the record the reasons for the court's action. The action of the court in excepting information shall be reviewable on appeal.

            (4) A defendant who is being sentenced for felonies committed prior to November 1, 1989, may file a written motion to correct the criminal history contained in the presentence report prior to the date of sentencing. At sentencing, the court shall consider defendant's motion to correct the presentence report and shall correct any factual errors in the criminal history contained in that report. An order allowing or denying a motion made pursuant to this subsection shall not be reviewable on appeal. If corrections are made by the court, only corrected copies of the report shall be provided to individuals or agencies pursuant to ORS 137.077.

            (5)(a) The provisions of this subsection apply only to a defendant being sentenced for a felony committed on or after November 1, 1989.

            (b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection, the defendant's criminal history as set forth in the presentence report shall satisfy the state's burden of proof as to the defendant's criminal history.

            (c) Prior to the date of sentencing, the defendant shall notify the district attorney and the court in writing of any error in the criminal history as set forth in the presentence report. Except to the extent that any disputed portion is later changed by agreement of the district attorney and defendant with the approval of the court, the state shall have the burden of proving by a preponderance of evidence any disputed part of the defendant's criminal history. The court shall allow the state reasonable time to produce evidence to meet its burden.

            (d) The court shall correct any error in the criminal history as reflected in the presentence report.

            (e) If corrections to the presentence report are made by the court, only corrected copies of the report shall be provided to individuals or agencies pursuant to ORS 137.077.

            (f) Except as provided in ORS 138.222, the court's decision on issues relating to a defendant's criminal history shall not be reviewable on appeal. [1973 c.836 s.261; 1977 c.372 s.11; 1983 c.649 s.1; 1989 c.408 s.2; 1989 c.790 s.8]

 

(Aggravation or Mitigation)

 

            137.080 Consideration of circumstances in aggravation or mitigation of punishment. (1) After a plea or verdict of guilty, or after a verdict against the defendant on a plea of former conviction or acquittal, in a case where discretion is conferred upon the court as to the extent of the punishment to be inflicted, the court, upon the suggestion of either party that there are circumstances which may be properly considered in aggravation or mitigation of the punishment, may, in its discretion, hear the same summarily at a specified time and upon such notice to the adverse party as it may direct.

            (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the consideration of aggravating and mitigating circumstances as to felonies committed on or after November 1, 1989, including the maximum sentence that may be imposed because of aggravating circumstances, shall be in accordance with rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission. [Amended by 1989 c.790 s.9]

 

            137.085 Age and physical disability of victim as factors in sentencing. When a court sentences a defendant convicted of any crime involving a physical or sexual assault, the court shall give consideration to a victim's particular vulnerability to injury in such case, due to the victim's youth, advanced age or physical disability. Such particular vulnerability of the victim is a fact enhancing the seriousness of any assault, and the court shall consider it as such in imposing the sentence within the limits otherwise provided by law. [1985 c.767 s.1]

 

            Note: 137.085 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 137 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.

 

            137.090 Considerations in determining aggravation or mitigation. (1) In determining aggravation or mitigation, the court shall consider:

            (a) Any evidence received during the proceeding;

            (b) The presentence report, where one is available; and

            (c) Any other evidence relevant to aggravation or mitigation that the court finds trustworthy and reliable.

            (2) When a witness is so sick or infirm as to be unable to attend, the deposition of the witness may be taken out of court at such time and place, and upon such notice to the adverse party, and before such person authorized to take depositions, as the court directs. [Amended by 1965 c.400 s.1; 1973 c.836 s.259; 1989 c.790 s.10]

 

            137.100 Defendant as witness in relation to circumstances. If the defendant consents thereto, the defendant may be examined as a witness in relation to the circumstances which are alleged to justify aggravation or mitigation of the punishment; but if the defendant gives testimony at the request of the defendant, then the defendant must submit to be examined generally by the adverse party.

 

(Compensatory Fine)

 

            137.101 Compensatory fine. (1) Whenever the court imposes a fine as penalty for the commission of a crime resulting in injury for which the person injured by the act constituting the crime has a remedy by civil action, unless the issue of punitive damages has been previously decided on a civil case arising out of the same act and transaction, the court may order that the defendant pay any portion of the fine separately to the clerk of the court as compensatory fines in the case. The clerk shall pay over to the injured victim or victims, as directed in the court's order, moneys paid to the court as compensatory fines under this subsection. This section shall be liberally construed in favor of victims.

            (2) Compensatory fines may be awarded in addition to restitution awarded under ORS 137.103 to 137.109.

            (3) Nothing in this section limits or impairs the right of a person injured by a defendant's criminal acts to sue and recover damages from the defendant in a civil action. Evidence that the defendant has paid or been ordered to pay compensatory fines under this section may not be introduced in any civil action arising out of the facts or events which were the basis for the compensatory fine. However, the court in such civil action shall credit any compensatory fine paid by the defendant to a victim against any judgment for punitive damages in favor of the victim in the civil action. [1981 c.637 s.2; 1987 c.2 s.11]

 

(Restitution)

 

            137.103 Definitions for ORS 137.101 to 137.109. As used in ORS 137.101 to 137.109, 137.540, 161.675 and 161.685:

            (1) “Criminal activities” means any offense with respect to which the defendant is convicted or any other criminal conduct admitted by the defendant.

            (2) “Pecuniary damages” means all special damages, but not general damages, which a person could recover against the defendant in a civil action arising out of the facts or events constituting the defendant's criminal activities and shall include, but not be limited to, the money equivalent of property taken, destroyed, broken or otherwise harmed, and losses such as medical expenses and costs of psychological treatment or counseling.

            (3) “Restitution” means full, partial or nominal payment of pecuniary damages to a victim. Restitution is independent of and may be awarded in addition to a compensatory fine awarded under ORS 137.101.

            (4) “Victim” means any person whom the court determines has suffered pecuniary damages as a result of the defendant's criminal activities; “victim” shall not include any coparticipant in the defendant's criminal activities. [1977 c.371 s.1; 1981 c.637 s.1; 1983 c.488 s.1; 1983 c.740 s.16; 1987 c.905 s.16]

 

            137.106 Restitution to victims; criteria; objections by defendant. (1) When a person is convicted of criminal activities, or a violation under ORS 161.565, which have resulted in pecuniary damages, unless the presentence investigation report contains such a presentation, the district attorney shall investigate and present to the court, prior to or at the time of sentencing, evidence of the nature and amount of such damages. In addition to any other sentence it may impose, the court may order that the defendant make restitution to the victim.

            (2) In determining whether to order restitution which is complete, partial or nominal, the court shall take into account:

            (a) The financial resources of the defendant and the burden that payment of restitution will impose, with due regard to the other obligations of the defendant;

            (b) The ability of the defendant to pay restitution on an installment basis or on other conditions to be fixed by the court; and

            (c) The rehabilitative effect on the defendant of the payment of restitution and the method of payment.

            (3) If the defendant objects to the imposition, amount or distribution of the restitution, the court shall at the time of sentencing allow the defendant to be heard on such issue.

            (4) For crimes committed on or after December 5, 1996, the court shall order the prompt payment of the restitution whenever possible. [1977 c.371 s.2; 1983 c.724 s.1; 1993 c.533 s.1; 1997 c.313 s.23]

 

            137.107 Authority of court to amend part of judgment relating to restitution. At any time after entry of a judgment upon conviction of a crime, the court may amend that part of the judgment relating to restitution if, in the original judgment, the court included language imposing, recommending or requiring restitution but failed to conform the judgment to the requirements of ORS 137.071. [1997 c.526 s.2]

 

            Note: 137.107 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 137 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.

 

            137.109 Effect of restitution order on other remedies of victim; credit of restitution against subsequent civil judgment; effect of criminal judgment on subsequent civil action. (1) Nothing in ORS 137.103 to 137.109, 137.540, 144.102, 144.275, 161.675 and 161.685 limits or impairs the right of a person injured by a defendant's criminal activities, or by a defendant's commission of a violation under ORS 161.565, to sue and recover damages from the defendant in a civil action. Evidence that the defendant has paid or been ordered to pay restitution pursuant to ORS 137.103 to 137.109, 137.540, 144.102, 144.275, 161.675 and 161.685 may not be introduced in any civil action arising out of the facts or events which were the basis for the restitution. However, the court shall credit any restitution paid by the defendant to a victim against any judgment in favor of the victim in such civil action.

            (2) If conviction in a criminal trial necessarily decides the issue of a defendant's liability for pecuniary damages of a victim, that issue is conclusively determined as to the defendant if it is involved in a subsequent civil action. [1977 c.371 s.7; 1993 c.533 s.2; 1997 c.526 s.4]

            137.117 [1955 c.636 s.10; 1961 c.266 s.1; 1961 c.424 s.4; repealed by 1971 c.743 s.432]

 

(Collection of Monetary Obligations)

 

            137.118 Assignment of judgments for collection of monetary obligation; costs of collection. (1) Judgments in criminal actions that impose monetary obligations, including judgments requiring the payment of fines, costs, assessments, compensatory fines, attorney fees, forfeitures or restitution, may be assigned by the state, by a municipal court or by a justice court for collection. An assignment by the state may be to the Department of Revenue or a private collection agency. An assignment by a municipal court or by a justice court may be to a private collection agency. Nothing in this section limits the right of a municipal court or a justice court to assign for collection judgments in matters other than criminal actions.

            (2) Whenever a judgment in a criminal action includes a monetary obligation and the court permits the defendant a period of time beyond the date of imposition of the sentence to pay the obligation, the court may add to the judgment, as an additional cost, an amount for the cost of collection. This amount may not exceed 25 percent of the monetary obligation imposed by the court without the addition of this cost, but not more than $250. The cost of collection shall be waived or suspended by the court upon payment of the monetary obligation in full on or before the time set by the court.

            (3) As used in this section, “criminal action” has the meaning given in ORS 131.005. [1993 c.531 s.1; 1995 c.512 s.2; 1997 c.801 s.99]

            137.120 Term of sentence; reasons to be stated on record. (1) Whenever any person is convicted of a felony committed prior to November 1, 1989, the court shall, unless it imposes other than a sentence to serve a term of imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections, sentence such person to imprisonment for an indeterminate period of time, but stating and fixing in the judgment and sentence a maximum term for the crime, which shall not exceed the maximum term of imprisonment provided by law therefor; and judgment shall be given accordingly. Such a sentence shall be known as an indeterminate sentence. The court shall state on the record the reasons for the sentence imposed.

            (2) Whenever any person is convicted of a felony committed on or after November 1, 1989, the court shall impose sentence in accordance with rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission.

            (3) This section does not affect the indictment, prosecution, trial, verdict, judgment or punishment of any felony committed before June 14, 1939, and all laws now and before that date in effect relating to such a felony are continued in full force and effect as to such a felony. [Amended by 1967 c.372 s.2; 1971 c.743 s.324; 1977 c.372 s.12; 1987 c.320 s.29; 1989 c.790 s.11]

            137.123 Provisions relating to concurrent and consecutive sentences. (1) A sentence imposed by the court may be made concurrent or consecutive to any other sentence which has been previously imposed or is simultaneously imposed upon the same defendant. The court may provide for consecutive sentences only in accordance with the provisions of this section. A sentence shall be deemed to be a concurrent term unless the judgment expressly provides for consecutive sentences.

            (2) If a defendant is simultaneously sentenced for criminal offenses that do not arise from the same continuous and uninterrupted course of conduct, or if the defendant previously was sentenced by any other court within the United States to a sentence which the defendant has not yet completed, the court may impose a sentence concurrent with or consecutive to the other sentence or sentences.

            (3) When a defendant is sentenced for a crime committed while the defendant was incarcerated after sentencing for the commission of a previous crime, the court shall provide that the sentence for the new crime be consecutive to the sentence for the previous crime.

            (4) When a defendant has been found guilty of more than one criminal offense arising out of a continuous and uninterrupted course of conduct, the sentences imposed for each resulting conviction shall be concurrent unless the court complies with the procedures set forth in subsection (5) of this section.

            (5) The court has discretion to impose consecutive terms of imprisonment for separate convictions arising out of a continuous and uninterrupted course of conduct only if the court finds:

            (a) That the criminal offense for which a consecutive sentence is contemplated was not merely an incidental violation of a separate statutory provision in the course of the commission of a more serious crime but rather was an indication of defendant's willingness to commit more than one criminal offense; or

            (b) The criminal offense for which a consecutive sentence is contemplated caused or created a risk of causing greater or qualitatively different loss, injury or harm to the victim or caused or created a risk of causing loss, injury, or harm to a different victim than was caused or threatened by the other offense or offenses committed during a continuous and uninterrupted course or conduct. [1987 c.2 s.12; 1991 c.67 s.29; 1991 c.111 s.14; 1995 c.657 s.2]

            (a) The court shall not designate the correctional facility in which the defendant is to be confined but shall commit the defendant to the legal and physical custody of the Department of Corrections; and

            (b) If the judgment provides that the term of incarceration be served consecutively to a term of incarceration of 12 months or less that was imposed in a previous proceeding by a court of this state upon conviction of a felony, the defendant shall serve any remaining part of the previously imposed term of incarceration in the legal and physical custody of the Department of Corrections.

            (2)(a) If the court imposes a sentence upon conviction of a felony that includes a term of incarceration that is 12 months or less, the court shall commit the defendant to the legal and physical custody of the supervisory authority of the county in which the crime of conviction occurred.

            (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, when the court imposes a sentence upon conviction of a felony that includes a term of incarceration that is 12 months or less, the court shall commit the defendant to the legal and physical custody of the Department of Corrections if the court orders that the term of incarceration be served consecutively to a term of incarceration that exceeds 12 months that was imposed in a previous proceeding or in the same proceeding by a court of this state upon conviction of a felony.

            (3) After assuming custody of the convicted person the Department of Corrections may transfer inmates from one correctional facility to another such facility for the purposes of diagnosis and study, rehabilitation and treatment, as best seems to fit the needs of the inmate and for the protection and welfare of the community and the inmate.

            (4) If the court imposes a sentence of imprisonment upon conviction of a misdemeanor, it shall commit the defendant to the custody of the supervisory authority of the county in which the crime of conviction occurred.

            (5)(a) When a person under 18 years of age is sentenced and committed to the Department of Corrections under ORS 137.707, the Department of Corrections shall transfer the physical custody of the person to the Oregon Youth Authority as provided in ORS 420.011 if:

            (A) The person will complete the sentence imposed before the person attains 25 years of age; or

            (b) A person placed in the custody of the Oregon Youth Authority under this subsection shall be returned to the physical custody of the Department of Corrections whenever the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority, after consultation with the Department of Corrections, determines that the conditions or circumstances that warranted the transfer of custody under this subsection are no longer present.

            (7) If the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority concurs in the decision, the Department of Corrections or the supervisory authority of a county shall transfer the physical custody of a person committed to the Department of Corrections or the supervisory authority of the county under subsection (1) or (2) of this section to the Oregon Youth Authority as provided in ORS 420.011 (2) if:

The order shall further state that positive identification has been established by the bureau and further identified as to state bureau number or submitting agency number. Upon the entry of such an order, the applicant for purposes of the law shall be deemed not to have been previously convicted, or arrested as the case may be, and the court shall issue an order sealing the record of conviction and other official records in the case, including the records of arrest whether or not the arrest resulted in a further criminal proceeding.

            (4) The clerk of the court shall forward a certified copy of the order to such agencies as directed by the court. A certified copy must be sent to the Department of Corrections when the person has been in the custody of the Department of Corrections. Upon entry of such an order, such conviction, arrest or other proceeding shall be deemed not to have occurred, and the applicant may answer accordingly any questions relating to their occurrence.

However, such an order shall have no other effect on the orders setting aside the conviction or the arrest record.

            (11) Unless the court makes written findings by clear and convincing evidence that granting the motion would not be in the best interests of justice, the court shall grant the motion and enter an order as provided in subsection (3) of this section if the defendant has been convicted of one of the following crimes and is otherwise eligible for relief under this section:

(Effects of Felony Conviction)

 

            137.230 Definitions for ORS 137.260. As used in ORS 137.260, “conviction” or “convicted” means an adjudication of guilt upon a verdict or finding entered in a criminal proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction. [1961 c.412 s.1; 1987 c.158 s.20]

 

            137.240 [Formerly 421.110; 1973 c.56 s.1; 1973 c.836 s.266; 1974 s.s. c.36 s.2; repealed by 1975 c.781 s.10]

Any person convicted of a felony prior to August 9, 1961, and subsequently discharged from probation, parole or imprisonment prior to or after August 9, 1961, is hereby restored to the political rights of the person. [1961 c.412 s.4]

 

            137.270 Effect of felony conviction on property of defendant. No conviction of any person for crime works any forfeiture of any property, except in cases where the same is expressly provided by law; but in all cases of the commission or attempt to commit a felony, the state has a lien, from the time of such commission or attempt, upon all the property of the defendant for the purpose of satisfying any judgment which may be given against the defendant for any fine on account thereof and for the costs and disbursements in the proceedings against the defendant for such crime; provided, however, such lien shall not attach to such property as against a purchaser or incumbrancer in good faith, for value, whose interest in the property was acquired before the docketing of the judgment against the defendant. [Formerly 137.460]

 

            137.275 Effect of felony conviction on civil and political rights of felon. Except as otherwise provided by law, a person convicted of a felony does not suffer civil death or disability, or sustain loss of civil rights or forfeiture of estate or property, but retains all of the rights of the person, political, civil and otherwise, including, but not limited to, the right to vote, to hold, receive and transfer property, to enter into contracts, including contracts of marriage, and to maintain and defend civil actions, suits or proceedings. [1975 c.781 s.1]

 

            137.280 [1975 c.781 s.2; repealed by 1983 c.515 s.1 (137.281 enacted in lieu of 137.280)]

 

            137.281 Withdrawal of rights during term of imprisonment; restoration of rights. (1) In any felony case, when the court sentences the defendant to a term of imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections and execution of the sentence is not suspended, or execution is suspended upon condition that the defendant serve a term of imprisonment in the county jail, the defendant is deprived of all rights and privileges described in subsection (3) of this section from the date of sentencing until:

            (a) The defendant is discharged or paroled from imprisonment; or

            (b) The defendant's conviction is set aside.

            (2) In any felony case, when the court sentences the defendant to a term of imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections and execution of the sentence is suspended upon any condition other than imprisonment in the county jail, if the sentence of probation is revoked and the suspended portion of the sentence is ordered executed, the defendant is deprived of the rights and privileges described in subsection (3) of this section from the date the sentence is ordered executed until:

            (a) The defendant is discharged or paroled from imprisonment; or

            (b) The defendant's conviction is set aside.

            (3) The rights and privileges of which a person may be deprived under this section are:

            (a) Holding a public office or an office of a political party or becoming or remaining a candidate for either office;

            (b) Holding a position of private trust;

            (c) Acting as a juror; or

            (d) Exercising the right to vote.

            (4) If the court under subsection (1) of this section temporarily stays execution of sentence for any purpose other than probation, the defendant nonetheless is sentenced for purposes of subsection (1) of this section.

            (5) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 10.030, the rights and privileges withdrawn by this section are restored automatically upon discharge or parole from imprisonment, but in the case of parole shall be automatically withdrawn upon a subsequent imprisonment for violation of the terms of the parole. [1983 c.515 s.2 (enacted in lieu of 137.280); 1987 c.320 s.32; 1993 c.14 s.4; 1997 c.313 s.10]

 

            137.285 Retained rights of felon; regulation of exercise. ORS 137.275 to 137.285 do not deprive the Director of the Department of Corrections, or the director's authorized agents, of the authority to regulate the manner in which these retained rights of convicted persons may be exercised as is reasonably necessary for the control of the conduct and conditions of confinement of convicted persons in the custody of the Department of Corrections. [1975 c.781 s.3; 1979 c.284 s.116; 1987 c.320 s.33]

 

(Unitary Assessment)

 

            137.290 Unitary assessment; amount; waiver. (1) In all cases of conviction for the commission of a crime, violation or infraction, excluding parking violations, the trial court, whether a circuit, justice or municipal court, shall impose upon the defendant, in addition to any other monetary obligation imposed, a unitary assessment under this section. The unitary assessment shall also be imposed by the circuit court and county court in juvenile cases under ORS 419C.005 (1). The unitary assessment is a penal obligation in the nature of a fine and shall be in an amount as follows:

            (a) $100 in the case of a felony.

            (b) $60 in the case of a misdemeanor.

            (c) $90 in the case of a conviction for driving under the influence of intoxicants.

            (d) $30 in the case of any offense punishable only by a fine.

            (2) The unitary assessment shall include, in addition to the amount in subsection (1) of this section:

            (a) $40 if the defendant was driving a vehicle that requires a commercial driver license to operate and the conviction was for violating:

            (A) ORS 811.100 by driving at a speed at least 10 miles per hour greater than is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances; or

            (B) ORS 811.115 by driving at least 65 miles per hour; and

            (b) $500 if the crime of conviction is a crime found in ORS chapter 163.

            (3) The court in any case may waive payment of the unitary assessment, in whole or in part, if, upon consideration, the court finds that payment of the assessment or portion thereof would impose upon the defendant a total monetary obligation inconsistent with justice in the case. In making its determination under this subsection, the court shall consider:

            (a) The financial resources of the defendant and the burden that payment of the unitary assessment will impose, with due regard to the other obligations of the defendant; and

            (b) The extent to which such burden can be alleviated by allowing the defendant to pay the monetary obligations imposed by the court on an installment basis or on other conditions to be fixed by the court. [1987 c.905 s.1; 1991 c.460 s.14; 1993 c.33 s.300; 1993 c.637 s.1; 1993 c.770 ss.1,3; 1995 c.555 s.1; 1997 c.872 s.27]

 

            Note: District courts in Oregon abolished January 15, 1998.

See notes preceding 1.001 for further explanation.

 

            Note: 137.290 to 137.305 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 137 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.

 

 

            137.293 All monetary obligations constitute single obligation on part of convicted person. All fines, costs, assessments, restitution, compensatory fines and other monetary obligations imposed upon a convicted person in a circuit, justice or municipal court, shall constitute a single obligation on the part of the convicted person. The clerk shall subdivide the total obligation as provided in ORS 137.295 according to the various component parts of the obligation and shall credit and distribute accordingly, among those subdivisions, all moneys received. [1987 c.905 s.2]

 

            Note: District courts in Oregon abolished January 15, 1998.

            137.295 Categories of monetary obligations; order of crediting moneys received. (1) When a defendant convicted of a crime, violation or infraction in the circuit, justice or municipal court, or allowed diversion in such a case, makes a payment of money to be credited against monetary obligations imposed as a result of that conviction or diversion, the clerk shall distribute the payment as provided in this section.

            (2) There are four categories of monetary obligations. The categories are as follows:

            (a) Category 1 consists of compensatory fines under ORS 137.101.

            (b) Category 2 consists of restitution as defined in ORS 137.103 and restitution under ORS 419C.450 and a monetary obligation imposed under ORS 811.706.

            (c) Category 3 consists of the unitary assessment imposed under ORS 137.290, costs imposed under ORS 151.505 or 161.665 and those fines, costs, forfeited bail and other monetary obligations payable to the state or to the General Fund of the state in criminal and quasi-criminal cases for which moneys the law does not expressly provide other disposition.

            (d) Category 4 consists of monetary obligations imposed upon the defendant as a result of the conviction, but which do not fall under category 1, category 2 or category 3 of the obligation categories. These include, but are not limited to, fines and other monetary obligations that the law expressly directs be paid to an agency, person or political subdivision of the state, and any other obligation to reimburse for payment of a reward under ORS 131.897.

            (3) So long as there remains unpaid any obligation under category 1, the clerk shall credit toward category 1 all of each payment received.

            (4) After the total obligation has been credited under category 1, then so long as there remains unpaid any obligation under both categories 2 and 3, the clerk shall credit toward each such category 50 percent of each payment received.

            (5) The clerk shall monthly transfer the moneys credited under category 1 and under category 2 to the victims for whose benefit moneys under that category were ordered paid. The clerk of a circuit court shall monthly transfer the moneys credited under category 3 as directed by the State Court Administrator for deposit in the State Treasury to the credit of the Criminal Fine and Assessment Account established under ORS 137.300. The clerk of a justice or municipal court shall monthly transfer the moneys credited under category 3 to the Department of Revenue as provided in ORS 305.830.

            (6) When the entire amount owing for purposes of either category 2 or category 3 has been credited, further payments by the defendant shall be credited by the clerk entirely to the unpaid balance of whichever of those categories remains unpaid, until both category 2 and category 3 have been entirely paid.

            (7) When category 1, category 2 and category 3 have been entirely paid and any obligation remains owing under category 4, the clerk shall credit further payments by the defendant to the obligations under category 4 and shall monthly transfer the moneys so received to the appropriate recipient, giving first priority to counties and cities entitled to revenues generated by prosecutions in justice and municipal courts and giving last priority to persons entitled to moneys as reimbursement for reward under ORS 131.897. [1987 c.905 s.3; 1991 c.460 s.13; 1993 c.33 s.301; 1995 c.782 s.3; 1997 c.761 s.10]

If at the time of entry of a judgment, the defendant was serving a term of incarceration at the direction of the supervisory authority of a county upon conviction of a prior felony, the sheriff shall also deliver to the Department of Corrections a copy of the prior entry of judgment committing the defendant to the supervisory authority of the county of conviction and a statement of the number of days the defendant has remaining to be served on the term or incarceration imposed in the prior judgment.

            (2) If the defendant is surrendered to another legal authority prior to delivery to an institution of the Department of Corrections, the sheriff shall forward to the Department of Corrections copies of the entry of all pertinent judgments, a statement of the number of days the defendant was imprisoned prior to surrender, a statement of the number of days the defendant has remaining to be served on any term of incarceration the defendant was serving at the direction of the supervisory authority of a county upon conviction of a prior felony and an identification of the authority to whom the prisoner was surrendered.

The sheriff shall compute the time the defendant was imprisoned after arrest and prior to the commencement of the term specified in the judgment. Such time shall be credited towards the term of the sentence.

[Amended by 1987 c.550 s.4; 1996 c.4 s.3]

 

            137.333 Exception to ORS 137.330. Whenever a judge sentences a person to a term of incarceration in a county jail, the judgment may be executed by confinement in another county or in a state correctional facility if the county in which the person would otherwise be imprisoned:

            (1) Has entered into an intergovernmental agreement as provided in ORS 169.053; or

            (2) Is located within an intergovernmental corrections entity formed under ORS 190.265. [1996 c.4 s.2]

            (3) When a judgment of conviction is vacated and a new sentence is thereafter imposed upon the defendant for the same crime, the period of detention and imprisonment theretofore served shall be deducted from the maximum term, and from the minimum, if any, of the new sentence.

            (4) A person who is confined as the result of a sentence for a crime or conduct that is not directly related to the crime for which the sentence is imposed, or for violation of the conditions of probation, parole or post-prison supervision, shall not receive presentence incarceration credit for the time served in jail towards service of the term of confinement.

            (5) Unless the court expressly orders otherwise, a term of imprisonment shall be concurrent with that portion of any sentence previously imposed that remains unexpired at the time the court imposes sentence. This subsection applies regardless of whether the earlier sentence was imposed by the same or any other court, and regardless of whether the earlier sentence is being or is to be served in the same penal institution or under the same correctional authority as will be the later sentence.

            137.450 Enforcement of money judgment in criminal action.

            137.452 Satisfaction of monetary obligation imposed as part of sentence; release of money judgment lien from real property; authority of Attorney General. When a person is convicted of an offense and sentenced to pay any monetary obligation, the following provisions apply to obtaining a satisfaction of the money judgment imposing the monetary obligation or a release of a money judgment lien from a specific parcel of real property when the money judgment is not satisfied:

            (1) The Attorney General, by rule, may do any of the following:

            (a) Authorize the Attorney General's office, a district attorney's office, any state agency within the executive branch of government or any specific individual or group within any of these to:

            (A) Issue satisfactions of money judgments; or

            (B) Release a money judgment lien from a specific parcel of real property when either the money judgment lien does not attach to any equity in the real property or the amount of equity in the real property to which the judgment lien attaches, less costs of sale or other reasonable expenses, is paid upon the money judgment.

            (b) Establish procedures and requirements that any person described under paragraph (a) of this subsection must follow to issue satisfactions or releases.

            (2) Authorization of a person under subsection (1) of this section is permissive and such person is not required to issue satisfactions or releases if authorized. However, if a person is authorized under subsection (1) of this section and does issue satisfactions or releases, the person must comply with the procedures and requirements established by the Attorney General by rule.

            (3) If the Attorney General establishes a program under subsection (1) of this section, the Attorney General's office shall issue satisfactions and releases under the program unless the Attorney General determines that there are sufficient other agencies authorized under subsection (1) of this section who are actually participating in the program to provide reasonable access to satisfactions and releases on a statewide basis.

            (4)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection, when the entries in the register, the judgment docket and the financial accounting records for the court show conclusively that a monetary obligation imposed in a criminal action has been paid in full, the clerk of the court may note upon the judgment docket that the judgment has been paid in full. Notation upon the judgment docket under this subsection constitutes a satisfaction of the judgment. The clerk of the court is not civilly liable for any act or omission in making the notation on the judgment docket in the manner authorized by this paragraph.

            (b) When a monetary obligation imposed in a criminal action is paid by a negotiable instrument, the clerk of the court shall proceed as provided in paragraph (a) of this subsection only after the expiration of 21 days from the date the negotiable instrument is received by the court. The clerk may proceed as provided in paragraph (a) of this subsection before the expiration of the 21-day period if the judgment debtor or any other interested person makes a request that the clerk proceed and provides information that establishes to the satisfaction of the clerk that the instrument has been honored.

            (c) This subsection does not authorize the clerk of a court to compromise, settle or partially satisfy a monetary obligation imposed in a criminal action, or to release part of any property subject to a judgment lien.

            (5) Any satisfaction issued by a person authorized under this section may be entered in the same manner and has the same effect on the money judgment as a satisfaction issued for a judgment from a civil action or proceeding.

            (6) The release of judgment liens on specific parcels of real property by the Attorney General or by a person authorized by the Attorney General under subsection (1) of this section is discretionary. The money judgment shall remain a lien against all real property not specifically released. [1989 c.472 s.4; 1993 c.145 s.1; 1997 c.801 s.68]

            (4) The court may at any time modify the conditions of probation.

            (5) A court may not order revocation of probation as a result of the probationer's failure to pay restitution unless the court determines from the totality of the circumstances that the purposes of the probation are not being served.

            (6) It shall not be a cause for revocation of probation that the probationer failed to apply for or accept employment at any workplace where there is a labor dispute in progress. As used in this subsection, “labor dispute” has the meaning for that term provided in ORS 662.010. [Amended by 1965 c.346 s.1; 1969 c.597 s.125; 1977 c.371 s.3; 1977 c.380 s.2; 1981 c.671 s.1; 1983 c.588 s.2; 1985 c.818 s.2; 1987 c.780 s.3; 1989 c.790 s.16; 1991 c.196 s.1; 1991 c.630 s.5; 1991 c.731 s.1; 1993 c.14 s.11; 1993 c.680 s.16; 1997 c.313 s.24]

 

            Note: See first note under 137.593.

 

            137.550 Period of probation; discharge from probation; proceedings in case of violation of conditions. (1) Subject to the limitations in ORS 137.010 and to rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission for felonies committed on or after November 1, 1989:

            (a) The period of probation shall be such as the court determines and may, in the discretion of the court, be continued or extended.

            (b) The court may at any time discharge a person from probation.

            (2) At any time during the probation period, the court may issue a warrant and cause a defendant to be arrested for violating any of the conditions of probation. Any probation officer, police officer or other officer with power of arrest may arrest a probationer without a warrant for violating any condition of probation, and a statement by the probation officer setting forth that the probationer has, in the judgment of the probation officer, violated the conditions of probation is sufficient warrant for the detention of the probationer in the county jail until the probationer can be brought before the court or until the probation officer or supervisory personnel impose and the offender agrees to structured, intermediate sanctions in accordance with the rules adopted under ORS 137.595. Such disposition shall be made during the first 36 hours in custody, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, unless later disposition is authorized by supervisory personnel. If authorized by supervisory personnel, the disposition shall take place in no more than five judicial days. If the offender does not consent to structured, intermediate sanctions imposed by the probation officer or supervisory personnel in accordance with the rules adopted under ORS 137.595, the probation officer, as soon as practicable, but within one judicial day, shall report such arrest or detention to the court that imposed the probation. The probation officer shall promptly submit to the court a report showing in what manner the probationer has violated the conditions of probation.

            (3) Except for good cause shown or at the request of the probationer, the probationer shall be brought before a magistrate during the first 36 hours of custody, excluding holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. That magistrate, in the exercise of discretion, may order the probationer held pending revocation hearing or pending transfer to the jurisdiction of another court where the probation was imposed. In lieu of an order that the probationer be held, the magistrate may release the probationer upon the condition that the probationer appear in court at a later date for a probation violation or revocation hearing. If the probationer is being held on an out-of-county warrant, the magistrate may order the probationer released subject to an additional order to the probationer that the probationer report within seven calendar days to the court that imposed the probation.

            (4)(a) For defendants sentenced for felonies committed prior to November 1, 1989, and for any misdemeanor, the court that imposed the probation, after summary hearing, may revoke the probation and:

            (A) If the execution of some other part of the sentence has been suspended, the court shall cause the rest of the sentence imposed to be executed.

            (B) If no other sentence has been imposed, the court may impose any other sentence which originally could have been imposed.

            (b) For defendants sentenced for felonies committed on or after November 1, 1989, the court that imposed the probationary sentence may revoke probation supervision and impose a sanction as provided by rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission.

            (5) Except for good cause shown, if the revocation hearing is not conducted within 14 calendar days following the arrest or detention of the probationer, the probationer shall be released from custody.

            (6) A defendant who has been previously confined in the county jail as a condition of probation pursuant to ORS 137.540 or as part of a probationary sentence pursuant to the rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission may be given credit for all time thus served in any order or judgment of confinement resulting from revocation of probation.

            (7) In the case of any defendant whose sentence has been suspended but who has not been sentenced to probation, the court may issue a warrant and cause the defendant to be arrested and brought before the court at any time within the maximum period for which the defendant might originally have been sentenced. Thereupon the court, after summary hearing, may revoke the suspension of sentence and cause the sentence imposed to be executed.

            (8) If a probationer fails to appear or report to a court for further proceedings as required by an order under subsection (3) of this section, the failure to appear may be prosecuted in the county to which the probationer was ordered to appear or report.

            (9)(a) If requested by the probationer and agreed to by the court, the probationer may admit or deny the violation without being physically present at the hearing if the probationer appears before the court by means of simultaneous television transmission allowing the court to observe and communicate with the defendant and the defendant to observe and communicate with the court.

            (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, appearance by simultaneous television transmission shall not be permitted unless the facilities used enable the defendant to consult privately with defense counsel during the proceedings.

            (10)(a) The victim has the right:

            (A) Upon request made within the time period prescribed in the notice required by ORS 147.417, to be notified by the district attorney of any hearing before the court that may result in the revocation of the defendant's probation;

            (B) To appear personally at the hearing; and

            (C) If present, to reasonably express any views relevant to the issues before the court.

            (b) Failure of the district attorney to notify the victim under paragraph (a) of this subsection or failure of the victim to appear at the hearing does not affect the validity of the proceeding. [Amended by 1955 c.688 s.2; 1965 c.346 s.2; 1971 c.743 s.326; 1987 c.908 s.1; 1989 c.790 s.17; 1991 c.196 s.2; 1993 c.14 s.12; 1993 c.581 s.2; 1993 c.680 s.17; 1997 c.313 s.11]

 

            137.551 Revocation of probationary sentences; release dates; rules. (1) The State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision shall adopt rules to establish release dates for revocations of probationary sentences imposed for felonies committed before November 1, 1989.

            (2) To the extent permissible under law, the release dates for revocation of probationary sentences imposed for felonies committed before November 1, 1989, shall be set consistent with sanctions for probation revocations as provided by rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission for felonies committed on or after November 1, 1989. [1989 c.790 s.18a]

 

            Note: 137.551 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 137 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.

 

            137.553 Use of citations for probation violations authorized. (1) In addition to any authority granted under ORS 137.550, a court may authorize the use of citations to direct its probationers who violate conditions of probation to appear before the court. The following apply to the use of citations under this subsection:

            (a) A court may authorize issuance of citations under this subsection only by officers who are permitted under ORS 137.550 to make an arrest without a warrant.

            (b) Nothing in this subsection limits the authority, under ORS 137.550, of a probation officer, police officer or other officer to arrest for violation of conditions of probation even if the officer is authorized under this section to issue a citation.

            (c) A court may impose any conditions upon an authorization under this subsection that the court considers appropriate. The conditions may include, but are not limited to, requirements that citation authority be sought on a case by case basis, provision for citation in all cases that meet certain conditions, allowance of citation for certain types of cases or designation of certain cases where citations shall not be used.

            (2) The cited probationer shall appear before the court at the time, date and court specified in the citation. If the probationer fails to appear at the time, date and court specified in the citation, the court may issue a warrant of arrest, upon the request of the supervisor of probation, or upon request of the district attorney, or upon the court's own motion. [1987 c.761 s.2]

 

            137.557 Citation; procedure; contents. (1) If a citation is issued under ORS 137.553, the officer who issues the citation shall serve one copy of the citation to the probationer who is cited to appear and shall, as soon as practicable, file a duplicate copy with the court in which the probationer is cited to appear, along with proof of service.

            (2) Each copy of the citation issued under ORS 137.553 shall contain:

            (a) The name of the court at which the cited probationer is to appear.

            (b) The name of the probationer cited.

            (c) A brief description of the asserted probation violation, the date, the time and the place at which the violation occurred, the date on which the citation was issued and the name of the officer who issued the citation.

            (d) The time, date and place at which the cited probationer is to appear in court.

            (e) A notice to the effect that:

            (A) The citation is not itself a motion to revoke probation, but that such a motion will be filed and a copy provided to the probationer when the probationer appears at court;

            (B) The probationer must appear in court at the time set in the citation; and

            (C) If the probationer fails to appear as directed, the court may immediately issue a warrant for the probationer's arrest or the probationer may immediately be taken into custody by the officer responsible for supervising the probation. [1987 c.761 s.3]

 

            137.560 Copies of certain judgments to be sent to Department of Corrections. Within 10 days following the issuing of any judgment of suspension of imposition or execution of sentence or of probation of any person convicted of a crime, or of the continuation, extension, modification or revocation of any such judgment, or of the discharge of such person, or the recommendation by the court to the Governor of the pardon of such person, provided such person is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections, the court issuing such a judgment shall cause prompt delivery of a copy of the same to the Director of the Department of Corrections. [Amended by 1973 c.836 s.271; 1979 c.75 s.1; 1987 c.320 s.39; 1991 c.111 s.16; 1993 c.18 s.23]

 

            137.570 Authority to transfer probationer from one agency to another; procedure. A court may transfer a person on probation under its jurisdiction from the supervision of one probation agency to that of another probation agency. Whenever a person sentenced to probation resides in or is to remove to a locality outside the jurisdiction of the court which sentenced such person to probation, such court may transfer such person to a probation officer appointed to serve for the locality in which such person resides or to which the person is to remove:

            (1) If such probation officer sends to the court desiring to make such transfer a written statement that the probation officer will exercise supervision over such person.

            (2) If the statement is approved in writing by the judge of the court to which such probation officer is attached. [Amended by 1973 c.836 s.272; 1993 c.14 s.13]

 

            137.580 Effect of transfer of probationer from one agency to another. Whenever the transfer mentioned in ORS 137.570 is made, the court making it shall send to the probation agency to whose supervision the probationer is transferred a copy of all the records of such court as to the offense, criminal record and social history of the probationer. The probation agency shall report concerning the conduct and progress of the probationer to the court that sentenced the probationer to probation. Probation officers or agencies shall have, with respect to persons transferred to their supervision from any other jurisdiction, all the powers and be subject to all the duties now imposed by law upon them in regard to probationers received on probation from courts in their own jurisdiction. [Amended by 1973 c.836 s.273; 1993 c.14 s.14]

 

            137.590 Appointment of probation officers and assistants; chief probation officer. The judge or judges of any court of criminal jurisdiction, including municipal courts, may appoint, with the prior approval of the governing body of the county or city involved, and at pleasure remove, such probation officers and clerical assistants as may be necessary. Probation officers appointed by the court shall be selected because of definite qualifications as to character, personality, ability and training. In courts where more than one probation officer is appointed, one shall be designated chief probation officer and shall have general supervision of the probation work of probation officers appointed by and under the direction of the court. Appointments shall be in writing and entered on the records of the court. Probation officers and clerical assistants appointed under this section are not state officers or employees, and their compensation and expenses shall not be paid by the state. [Amended by 1971 c.633 s.12; 1973 c.836 s.274; 1981 s.s. c.3 s.38]

 

            137.592 Policy regarding probation violations. The Legislative Assembly finds that:

            (1) To protect the public, the criminal justice system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair punishments.

            (2) Decisions to incarcerate offenders in state prisons for violation of the conditions of probation must be made upon a reasonably systematic basis that will insure that available prison space is used to house those offenders who constitute a serious threat to the public, taking into consideration the availability of both prison space and local resources. [1993 c.680 s.8]

 

            Note: 137.592 to 137.599 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 137 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.

 

            137.593 Duty of corrections agencies to impose structured, intermediate sanctions for probation violations. (1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2) of this section, when a court suspends the imposition or execution of sentence and places a defendant on probation, or sentences a defendant to probation under the rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission and orders a defendant placed under the supervision of the Department of Corrections or a county community corrections agency, the Department of Corrections or the county community corrections agency shall impose structured, intermediate sanctions for the violation of conditions of probation in accordance with rules adopted under ORS 137.595. Under no circumstances may the Department of Corrections or a county community corrections agency revoke probation.

            (2) Notwithstanding ORS 137.124 and 423.478 and any other provision of law, the sentencing judge shall retain authority:

            (a) To revoke probation and receive recommendations regarding revocation of probation from the supervising officer made in accordance with rules adopted under ORS 137.595;

            (b) To determine whether conditions of probation have been violated and to impose sanctions for the violations if the court, at the time of sentencing, states on the record that the court is retaining such authority;

            (c) To cause a probationer to be brought before the court for a hearing upon motion of the district attorney or the court's own motion prior to the imposition of any structured, intermediate sanctions or within four judicial days after receiving notice that a structured, intermediate sanction has been imposed on the probationer pursuant to rules adopted under ORS 137.595 and to revoke probation or impose such other or additional sanctions or modify the conditions of probation as authorized by law; and

            (d) To impose and require an offender to serve a period of incarceration not to exceed 180 days as a sanction for revocation of probation.

            (3) In no case may the sentencing judge cause a probationer to be brought before the court for a hearing and revoke probation or impose other or additional sanctions after the probationer has completed a structured, intermediate sanction imposed by the Department of Corrections or a county community corrections agency pursuant to rules adopted under ORS 137.595. [1993 c.680 s.10; 1995 c.423 s.9a]

          (D) That the defendant does not have a previous conviction for a crime listed in subsection (4) of this section.

          Note: Sections 5 to 7a, chapter 852, Oregon Laws 1997, provide:

          Sec. 5. (1) This section applies to prosecutions for assault in the second degree as defined in ORS 163.175 (1)(b), kidnapping in the second degree as defined in ORS 163.225 or robbery in the second degree as defined in ORS 164.405 if:

          (a) The offense was committed on or after April 1, 1995, but before the effective date of this Act [October 4, 1997]; and

          (b) A sentence has been imposed before the effective date of this Act.

          (2) Only upon joint written consent of the sentenced defendant and the state, as represented by the district attorney of the county of conviction, the court of conviction may entertain, in accordance with section 1 of this Act [137.712], a petition for a resentencing hearing. The petition must allege facts sufficient to establish a basis under section 1 of this Act for imposition of a sentence less than the minimum sentence. The district attorney may file a response either in support of or in opposition to the petition.

          (3) When a petition is filed under subsection (2) of this section, the sentencing court shall determine, based on the defendant's petition and the response, if any, filed by the district attorney, whether the defendant is eligible under section 1 of this Act for a sentence less than the minimum sentence and whether a lesser sentence may be appropriate. If the court determines that the defendant is eligible and that a lesser sentence may be appropriate, the court may order a resentencing hearing, otherwise the court shall enter an order denying the defendant's petition.

          (4) If the court orders a resentencing hearing, the court shall determine at the hearing, in accordance with section 1 of this Act, whether imposition of a lesser sentence is warranted. If the court determines that a lesser sentence is warranted, it shall state on the record the substantial and compelling reasons in support of the lesser sentence, vacate the judgment, impose the lesser sentence and enter an amended judgment. If the court determines that a lesser sentence is not warranted, it shall enter an order denying the defendant's petition. [1997 c.852 s.5]

          Sec. 6. (1) This section applies to prosecutions for assault in the second degree as defined in ORS 163.175 (1)(b), kidnapping in the second degree as defined in ORS 163.225 or robbery in the second degree as defined in ORS 164.405 if:

          (a) The offense was committed on or after April 1, 1995, but before the effective date of this Act [October 4, 1997]; and

          (b) A sentence has not been imposed before the effective date of this Act.

          (2) Only upon joint written consent of the convicted defendant and the state, the court in which the prosecution of an offense described in subsection (1) of this section is pending may entertain a motion requesting that the defendant be sentenced under section 1 of this Act [137.712]. The district attorney may file a response either in support of or in opposition to the motion.

          (3) When a motion is filed under subsection (2) of this section, the court shall determine whether the defendant is eligible under section 1 of this Act for a sentence less than the minimum sentence and whether a lesser sentence may be appropriate. If the court determines that the defendant is eligible and that a lesser sentence may be appropriate, the court may impose sentence as provided in section 1 of this Act. Otherwise the court shall enter an order denying the motion. [1997 c.852 s.6]

          Sec. 7. The sentencing court retains authority, irrespective of any notice of appeal after entry of judgment of conviction, to modify its judgment and sentence to reflect the results of a resentencing hearing ordered under section 5 of this Act. If a sentencing court enters an amended judgment under section 5 of this Act, the court shall immediately forward a copy of the amended judgment to the appellate court. Any modification of the appeal necessitated by the amended judgment shall be pursuant to an appropriate order by the appellate court. [1997 c.852 s.7]

          Sec. 7a. If any court holds that the requirement of joint written consent by the state and defendant required for the court to entertain a petition for resentencing or a motion for alternate sentencing under section 5 or 6 of this Act is invalid, it is the intent of the Legislative Assembly that the joint written consent requirement is nonseverable from the other portions of sections 5, 6 and 7 of this Act and sections 5, 6 and 7 of this Act shall be entirely invalidated but the rest of this Act shall stand. [1997 c.852 s.7a]
