          (3) If, at some time after the first appearance of a defendant charged with a Class C nonperson felony or a violation of ORS 475.840 (3)(a), 475.854, 475.864 (2) or 475.874, the district attorney and the defendant agree to treat the charged offense as a Class A misdemeanor, the court may allow the offense to be treated as a Class A misdemeanor by stipulation of the parties.

          (4) If a Class C felony or a violation of ORS 475.840 (3)(a), 475.854, 475.864 (2) or 475.874 is treated as a Class A misdemeanor under this section, the court shall clearly denominate the offense as a Class A misdemeanor in any judgment entered in the matter.

          (5) If no election or stipulation is made under this section, the case proceeds as a felony.

          (6) Before a district attorney may make an election under subsection (2) of this section, the district attorney shall adopt written guidelines for determining when and under what circumstances the election may be made. The district attorney shall apply the guidelines uniformly.

          (7) Notwithstanding ORS 161.635, the [maximum] fine that a court may impose upon conviction of a misdemeanor under this section may not:

          (a) Be less than the minimum fine established by section 10 of this 2011 Act for a felony; or

          (b) Exceed the amount provided in ORS 161.625 for the class of felony receiving Class A misdemeanor treatment.

 

          SECTION 19. The amendments to ORS 161.566, 161.568 and 161.570 by sections 16 to 18 of this 2011 Act apply only to offenses committed on or after January 1, 2012. Any offense committed before January 1, 2012, shall continue to be governed by ORS 161.566, 161.568 and 161.570, as in effect immediately before January 1, 2012.

 

SENTENCE OF DISCHARGE

 

          SECTION 20. ORS 161.715 is amended to read:

          161.715. (1) Any court empowered to suspend imposition or execution of sentence or to sentence a defendant to probation may discharge the defendant if:

          (a) The conviction is for an offense other than murder, treason or a Class A or B felony; and

          (b) The court is of the opinion that no proper purpose would be served by imposing any condition upon the defendant’s release.

          (2) If a sentence of discharge is imposed for a felony, the court shall set forth in the record the reasons for its action.

          (3) If the court imposes a sentence of discharge, the defendant shall be released with respect to the conviction for which the sentence is imposed without imprisonment, [fine,] probationary supervision or conditions. The judgment entered by the court shall include a monetary obligation payable to the state in an amount equal to the minimum fine for the offense established by section 10 of this 2011 Act.

          (4) If a defendant pleads not guilty and is tried and found guilty, a sentence of discharge is a judgment on a conviction for all purposes, including an appeal by the defendant.

          (5) If a defendant pleads guilty, a sentence of discharge is not appealable, but for all other purposes is a judgment on a conviction.

 

FINES IN JUVENILE PROCEEDINGS

 

          SECTION 21. ORS 419C.459 is amended to read:

          419C.459. [In circumstances under which, if the youth offender were an adult, a fine not exceeding a certain amount could be imposed under the Oregon Criminal Code, the court may impose such a fine upon the youth offender. In determining whether to impose a fine and, if so, then in what amount, the court shall consider whether the youth offender will be able to pay a fine and whether payment of a fine is likely to have a rehabilitative effect on the youth offender. Fines ordered paid under this section shall be collected by the clerk of the court.] If a youth is found to be within the jurisdiction of the court under ORS 419C.005 by reason of committing an offense or by reason of committing an act that would constitute an offense if committed by an adult, the youth offender is subject to the same fines, including the minimum fines established under sections 4 and 10 of this 2011 Act, that are applicable to adults who commit the offense. In determining the amount of the fine, the court shall consider the potential rehabilitative effect of a fine.

 

          SECTION 22. The amendments to ORS 419C.459 by section 21 of this 2011 Act apply only to acts committed on or after January 1, 2012. Any act committed before January 1, 2012, shall continue to be governed by ORS 419C.459 as in effect immediately before January 1, 2012.

 

CITATIONS

 

          SECTION 23. ORS 153.051 is amended to read:

          153.051. A summons in a violation citation is sufficient if it contains the following:

          (1) The name of the court, the name of the person cited, the date on which the citation was issued, the name of the enforcement officer issuing the citation, and the time and place at which the person cited is to appear in court.

          (2) A statement or designation of the violation that can be readily understood by a person making a reasonable effort to do so and the date, time and place at which the violation is alleged to have been committed.

          (3) A notice to the person cited that a complaint will be filed with the court based on the violation.

          (4) The amount of the [base] presumptive fine, if any, fixed for the violation.

          (5) A statement notifying the person that a monetary judgment may be entered against the person for up to the maximum amount of fines, [assessments,] restitution and other costs allowed by law for the violation if the person fails to make all required appearances at the proceedings.

          (6) A statement notifying the person that, if the person pleads no contest and delivers to the court the amount of the presumptive fine indicated on the citation, and the court accepts the plea, the amount of the fine imposed against the defendant may not exceed the amount of the presumptive fine indicated on the citation.

          (7) A statement notifying the person that, if the person pleads no contest and delivers to the court the amount of the presumptive fine indicated on the citation:

          (a) The person may submit an explanation of the circumstances of the violation; and

          (b) The court may consider the explanation in establishing the amount of the fine, but in no event can the court impose a fine that is less than the minimum fine established under section 4 of this 2011 Act.

          (8) A statement notifying the person that, if the person pleads not guilty and requests a trial, the court cannot impose a fine that is less than the minimum fine established under section 4 of this 2011 Act unless the person is found not guilty, in which case no fine will be imposed.

 

          SECTION 24. The amendments to ORS 153.051 by section 23 of this 2011 Act apply only to citations issued on or after January 1, 2012. Any citation issued before January 1, 2012, shall continue to be governed by ORS 153.051 as in effect immediately before January 1, 2012.

 

          SECTION 25. ORS 153.061 is amended to read:

          153.061. (1) Except as provided in [subsection (2)] subsections (2) and (3) of this section, a defendant who has been issued a violation citation must either:

          (a) Make a first appearance by personally appearing in court at the time indicated in the summons; or

          (b) Make a first appearance in the manner provided in subsection [(3)] (4) of this section before the time indicated in the summons.

          (2) If a defendant [has been] is issued a violation citation for careless driving under ORS 811.135 on which a police officer noted that the offense contributed to an accident and that a vulnerable user of a public way suffered serious physical injury or death by reason of the offense, the officer may not enter the amount of the presumptive fine on the summons and the defendant must make a first appearance by personally appearing in court at the time indicated in the summons.

          (3) If a corporation is issued a violation citation, the police officer may not enter the amount of the presumptive fine on the summons and the defendant must make a first appearance by appearing in court at the time indicated in the summons.

          [(3)] (4) Except as provided in this section, a defendant who has been issued a violation citation may make a first appearance in the matter before the time indicated in the summons by one of the following means:

          (a) The defendant may submit to the court a written or oral request for a trial.

          (b) The defendant may enter a plea of no contest by delivering to the court the summons[,] and a check or money order in the amount of the [base] presumptive fine set forth in the summons[, and a statement of matters in explanation or mitigation of the violation charged]. The [delivery of a statement of matters in explanation or mitigation] entry of a plea under the provisions of this paragraph constitutes a waiver of trial and consent to the entry of a judgment forfeiting the [base] presumptive fine [based on the statement and any other testimony or written statements that may be presented to the court by the citing officer or other witnesses]. A no contest plea under this section is not subject to the requirements of ORS chapter 135 relating to the entry of pleas and, upon receipt of the plea, the court may enter judgment against the defendant without taking further evidence.

          [(c) The defendant may execute the appearance, waiver of trial and plea of guilty that appears on the summons and deliver the summons and a check or money order in the amount of the base fine set forth in the summons to the court. The defendant may attach a statement of matters in explanation or mitigation of the violation.]

          [(4)] (5) The court may require that a defendant requesting a trial under subsection [(3)(a)] (4) of this section deposit an amount equal to the [base] presumptive fine [specified under ORS 153.125 to 153.145] established under sections 2 and 3 of this 2011 Act or such other amount as the court determines appropriate if the defendant has failed to appear in any court on one or more other charges in the past. If the defendant does not deposit the amount specified by the court, the defendant must personally appear in court at the time indicated in the summons. The amount deposited by the defendant may be applied against any fine imposed by the court, and any amount not so applied shall be refunded to the defendant at the conclusion of the proceedings.

          [(5) If the defendant personally appears in court at the time indicated in the summons and enters a plea of guilty, the judge shall consider any statement in explanation or mitigation made by the defendant.]

          (6) The court may require a defendant to appear personally in any case, or may require that all defendants appear in specified categories of cases.

          (7) If a defendant has entered a no contest plea [or guilty plea] in the manner provided in subsection [(3)(b) or (c)] (4) of this section, and the court determines that the [base] presumptive fine [amount] is not adequate by reason of previous convictions of the defendant, the nature of the offense charged or other circumstances, the court may require that a trial be held unless an additional fine amount is paid by the defendant before a specified date. Notice of an additional fine amount under this subsection may be given to the defendant by mail. In no event may the court require a total fine amount in excess of the maximum fine established for the violation by statute.

          (8) If a defendant fails to make a first appearance on a citation for a traffic violation, as defined by ORS 801.557, fails to make a first appearance on a citation for a violation of ORS 471.430, or fails to appear at any other subsequent time set for trial or other appearance, the driving privileges of the defendant are subject to suspension under ORS 809.220.

 

          SECTION 25a. ORS 153.099 is amended to read:

          153.099. (1) If a trial is held in a violation proceeding, the court shall enter a judgment based on the evidence presented at the trial.

          (2) If the defendant appears and enters a plea of no contest in the manner described in ORS 153.061 [(3)(b),] (4) and a trial is not otherwise required by the court or by law, the court shall make a decision based on the citation[, the statement filed by the defendant and any other information or materials submitted to the court]. The court may consider any statement of explanation submitted with the plea.

          [(3) If the defendant enters a plea of guilty in the manner described in ORS 153.061 (3)(c), a trial is not otherwise required by the court or by law and the court accepts the plea of guilty, judgment shall be entered against the defendant based on the violation citation.]

 

          SECTION 26. The amendments to ORS 153.061 and 153.099 by sections 25 and 25a of this 2011 Act apply only to violation citations issued, and violation proceedings commenced by citations issued, on or after January 1, 2012. Any citation issued, and violation proceeding commenced by a citation issued, before January 1, 2012, shall continue to be governed by ORS 153.061 as in effect immediately before January 1, 2012.

 

JUDGMENTS

 

          SECTION 27. ORS 153.090 is amended to read:

          153.090. (1) Judgments entered under this chapter may include:

          (a) Imposition of a sentence to pay a fine;

          (b) Costs[, assessments] and restitution authorized by law;

          [(c) A requirement that the fine, costs, assessments and restitution, if any, be paid out of any base fine;]

          [(d) Remission of any balance of a base fine to the defendant or to any other person designated by the defendant; and]

          (c) A requirement that the fine, costs and restitution, if any, be paid out of the presumptive fine;

          (d) Remission of any balance of a presumptive fine to the defendant; and

          (e) Any other provision authorized by law.

          (2) Notwithstanding ORS 137.106, if the court orders restitution in a default judgment entered under ORS 153.102, a defendant may allege an inability to pay the full amount of monetary sanctions imposed, including restitution, and request a hearing to determine whether the defendant is unable to pay or to establish a payment schedule by filing a written request with the court within one year after the entry of the judgment. The court shall set a hearing on the issue of the defendant’s ability to pay upon receipt of the request and shall give notice to the district attorney. The district attorney shall give notice to the victim of the date, time and place of the hearing. The court may determine a payment schedule for monetary sanctions imposed, including restitution ordered under this subsection, if the defendant establishes at the hearing that the defendant is unable to pay the ordered restitution in full.

          (3) If a trial is held in a violation proceeding, or a default judgment is entered against the defendant under ORS 153.102, the court may impose any fine within the statutory limits for the violation. If a defendant pleads no contest under ORS 153.061 [(3)(b)] (4)[, or pleads guilty under ORS 153.061 (3)(c),] and the court accepts the plea and enters judgment against the defendant, the amount of the fine imposed against the defendant by the court may not exceed the [amount of the base] presumptive fine established for the violation under [ORS 153.125 to 153.145] sections 2 and 3 of this 2011 Act.

          (4) A judge may suspend operation of any part of a judgment entered under this chapter upon condition that the defendant pay the nonsuspended portion of a fine within a specified period of time. If the defendant fails to pay the nonsuspended portion of the fine within the specified period of time, the suspended portion of the judgment becomes operative without further proceedings by the court and the suspended portion of the fine becomes immediately due and payable.

          (5) The court may not recommend a suspension of the defendant’s driving privileges unless a trial has been required. The failure of the defendant to appear at the trial does not prevent the court from recommending suspension of the defendant’s driving privileges.

          (6) Entry of a default judgment under ORS 153.102 does not preclude the arrest and prosecution of the defendant for the crime of failure to appear in a violation proceeding under ORS 153.992.

          (7) If a person holds a commercial driver license, a court may not defer entry of a judgment or allow an individual to enter into a diversion program that would prevent a conviction for a traffic offense from appearing on the driving record of the holder. This subsection applies to all traffic offenses, whether committed while driving a motor vehicle or a commercial motor vehicle, but does not apply to parking violations. For purposes of this subsection, a person holds a commercial driver license if on the date of the commission of the offense the person holds a commercial driver license issued by the Department of Transportation or the licensing agency of another jurisdiction that is:

          (a) Not expired or if expired, expired less than one year; or

          (b) Suspended, but not canceled or revoked.

 

          SECTION 28. The amendments to ORS 153.090 by section 27 of this 2011 Act apply only to judgments in violation proceedings commenced by citations issued on or after January 1, 2012. Any judgment in a violation proceeding commenced by a citation issued before January 1, 2012, shall continue to be governed by ORS 153.090 as in effect immediately before January 1, 2012.

 

          SECTION 29. ORS 153.108 is amended to read:

          153.108. (1) Notwithstanding ORS 131.505 to 131.535, if a person commits both a crime and a violation as part of the same criminal episode, the prosecution for one offense shall not bar the subsequent prosecution for the other. However, evidence of the first conviction shall not be admissible in any subsequent prosecution for the other offense.

          (2) Notwithstanding ORS 43.130 and 43.160, [no] a plea, finding or [proceeding upon any violation shall] judgment in a violation proceeding, or the fact that a violation proceeding has been brought against a defendant, may not be used for the purpose of res judicata or collateral estoppel, [nor shall any plea, finding or proceeding upon any violation be admissible] or be admitted as evidence in any civil proceeding.

 

          SECTION 30. ORS 41.905 is amended to read:

          41.905. [(1)] A plea to a charge of a traffic crime, as defined in ORS 801.545, and any judgment of conviction or acquittal of a person charged with a traffic [offense] crime, as defined by ORS 801.545, [is] are not admissible in the trial of a subsequent civil action arising out of the same accident or occurrence to prove or negate the facts upon which such judgment was rendered.

          [(2) A plea of guilty by a person to a traffic offense may be admitted as evidence in the trial of a subsequent civil action arising out of the same accident or occurrence as an admission of the person entering the plea, and for no other purpose.]

          [(3) Evidence that a person has entered a plea of no contest in the manner described in ORS 153.061 (3)(b) to a charge of a traffic offense shall not be admitted as evidence in the trial of a subsequent civil action arising out of the same accident or occurrence.]

 

          SECTION 31. The amendments to ORS 41.905 and 153.108 by sections 29 and 30 of this 2011 Act apply only to offenses committed on or after January 1, 2012. Any offense committed before January 1, 2012, shall continue to be governed by ORS 41.905 and 153.108 as in effect immediately before January 1, 2012.

          SECTION 33. Priorities for application of payments on judgments in criminal actions. (1) There are five levels of priority for application of payments on judgments of conviction in criminal actions, with Level I obligations having the highest priority and Level V having the lowest priority. All payments on a judgment of conviction in a criminal action shall be applied first against the unpaid obligations in the level with highest priority until those obligations have been paid in full, and shall then be applied against the obligations in the level with the next highest level of priority, until all obligations under the judgment have been paid in full.

          (2) Except as provided in section 35 of this 2011 Act, if there is more than one person or public body to whom an obligation is payable under a level, the court shall divide each payment based on each person’s or public body’s proportionate share of the total amount of obligations in that level.

 

          SECTION 34. Level I obligations. Compensatory fines under ORS 137.101 are Level I obligations.

 

          SECTION 35. Level II obligations. (1) There are two types of Level II obligations:

          (a) Type 1 obligations include awards of restitution as defined in ORS 137.103, awards of restitution under ORS 419C.450 and money awards made under ORS 811.706.

          (b) Type 2 obligations include all fines and other monetary obligations payable to the state for which the law does not expressly provide other disposition, including fines payable to the state by justice and municipal courts under sections 6b, 48 and 49 of this 2011 Act.

          (2) If a judgment contains both types of Level II obligations, the court shall apply 50 percent of amounts creditable to Level II obligations to Type 1 obligations and 50 percent of the amounts to Type 2 obligations, until all obligations in one of the two types have been paid in full. All subsequent amounts creditable to Level II obligations shall be applied against the other type of obligations until those obligations have been paid in full.

          (3) If there is more than one person for whose benefit a Type 1 money award has been made, the clerk shall pay the moneys credited to Type 1 obligations in the following order of priority:

          (a) If the judgment contains a money award payable to the person or persons against whom the defendant committed the offense, the clerk shall first pay all moneys credited to Type 1 obligations to those persons, and shall continue to do so until all those obligations are paid in full. If there is more than one person to whom an obligation is payable under this paragraph, the court shall divide each payment under this paragraph based on each person’s proportionate share of the total amount of obligations subject to payment under this paragraph.

          (b) If the judgment contains a money award payable to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Account, the clerk shall thereafter transfer moneys credited to Type 1 obligations to the account until the award is paid in full.

          (c) If the judgment contains a money award payable to any other victims, as defined in ORS 137.103, the clerk shall thereafter pay the moneys credited to Type 1 obligations to those victims until those victims are paid in full.

 

          SECTION 36. Level III obligations. Level III obligations are fines payable to a county or city.

 

          SECTION 37. Level IV obligations. Level IV obligations are amounts that the law expressly directs be paid to a specific account or public body as defined in ORS 174.109.

(Application of Security Deposits Against

Child Support Obligation)

 

          SECTION 40. ORS 25.715 is amended to read:

          25.715. (1) The court may order that the portion of a security deposit made under ORS 135.265 that would otherwise be returned to the person who made the deposit or the amount of child support arrearages, whichever is less, be paid to an obligee or the Division of Child Support of the Department of Justice if:

          (a) The defendant is an obligor who owes child support arrearages;

          (b) The obligee or the administrator has filed a motion requesting the court to make such an order;

          (c) The obligee or the administrator has served the defendant with a copy of the motion;

          (d) The defendant has an opportunity to respond and request a hearing; and

          (e) The court has determined that such an order is appropriate.

          (2) The court may order that a portion of a security [amount] deposit that is forfeited under ORS 135.280 be paid to the division and be applied to any unsatisfied child support judgment and to provide security for child support payments in accordance with ORS 25.230 if:

          (a) The defendant is an obligor who owes child support;

          (b) The administrator has filed a motion requesting the court to make such an order;

          (c) The motion specifies the amount to be applied to the child support judgment under ORS 135.280; and

          (d) The court has determined that such an order is appropriate.

 

          SECTION 41. ORS 135.280 is amended to read:

          135.280. (1) Upon failure of a person to comply with any condition of a release agreement or personal recognizance, the court having jurisdiction may, in addition to any other action provided by law, issue a warrant for the arrest of the person at liberty upon a personal recognizance, conditional or security release.

          (2) A warrant issued under subsection (1) of this section by a municipal judge may be executed by any peace officer authorized to execute arrest warrants.

          (3) If the defendant does not comply with the conditions of the release agreement, the court having jurisdiction shall enter an order declaring the entire security amount to be forfeited. Notice of the order of forfeiture shall be given forthwith by personal service, by mail or by such other means as are reasonably calculated to bring to the attention of the defendant and, if applicable, of the sureties the order of forfeiture. If, within 30 days after the court declares the forfeiture, the defendant does not appear or satisfy the court having jurisdiction that appearance and surrender by the defendant was, or still is, impossible and without fault of the defendant, the court shall enter judgment for the state, or appropriate political subdivision thereof, against the defendant and, if applicable, the sureties for the entire security amount set under ORS 135.265 and the costs of the proceedings. At any time before or after entry of the judgment, the defendant or the sureties may apply to the court for a remission of the forfeiture or to modify or set aside the judgment. The court, upon good cause shown, may remit the forfeiture or any part thereof or may modify or set aside the judgment as in other criminal cases, except the portion of the security [amount] deposit that the court ordered to be applied to child support under subsection (4) of this section, as the court considers reasonable under the circumstances of the case. The court shall adopt procedures to ensure that the amount deposited under ORS 135.265 is available for a reasonable period of time for disposition under subsection (4) of this section.

          (4) After entry of a judgment for the state, the court, upon a motion filed under ORS 25.715, may order that a portion of the security [amount] deposit be applied to any unsatisfied child support award owed by the defendant and to provide security for child support payments in accordance with ORS 25.230. The portion of the security [amount] deposit that may be applied to the child support award:

          (a) Is limited to the amount deposited under ORS 135.265 (2);

          (b) May not exceed 66 percent of the entire security amount set under ORS 135.265 if the deposit has been made under ORS 135.265 (3); and

          (c) Does not reduce the money award in the judgment entered under subsection (3) of this section that is owed to the state.

          (5) When judgment is entered in favor of the state, or any political subdivision of the state, on any security given for a release, the judgment may be enforced as a judgment in a civil action. If entered in circuit court, the judgment shall be entered in the register, and the clerk of the court shall note in the register that the judgment creates a judgment lien. The district attorney, county counsel or city attorney may have execution issued on the judgment and deliver same to the sheriff to be executed by levy on the deposit or security amount made in accordance with ORS 135.265, or may collect the judgment as otherwise provided by law. The proceeds of any execution or collection shall be used to satisfy the judgment and costs and paid into the treasury of the municipal corporation wherein the security was taken if the offense was defined by an ordinance of a political subdivision of this state, or paid into the treasury of the county wherein the security was taken if the offense was defined by a statute of this state and the judgment was entered by a justice court, or paid over as directed by the State Court Administrator for deposit in the Criminal Fine [and Assessment] Account [created under ORS 137.300], if the offense was defined by a statute of this state and the judgment was entered by a circuit court. The provisions of this section shall not apply to [base fine] amounts deposited upon appearance under ORS 153.061.

          (6) When the judgment of forfeiture is entered, the security deposit or deposit with the clerk is, by virtue of the judgment alone and without requiring further execution, forfeited to and may be kept by the state or its appropriate political subdivision. Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, the clerk shall reduce, by the value of the deposit so forfeited, the debt remaining on the judgment and shall cause the amount on deposit to be transferred to the revenue account of the state or political subdivision thereof entitled to receive the proceeds of execution under this section.

          (7) The stocks, bonds, personal property and real property shall be sold in the same manner as in execution sales in civil actions and the proceeds of such sale shall be used to satisfy all court costs, prior encumbrances, if any, and from the balance a sufficient amount to satisfy the judgment shall be paid into the treasury of the municipal corporation wherein the security was taken if the offense was defined by an ordinance of a political subdivision of this state, or paid into the treasury of the county wherein the security was taken if the offense was defined by a statute of this state and the judgment was entered by a justice court, or deposited in the General Fund available for general governmental expenses if the offense was defined by a statute of this state and the judgment was entered by a circuit court. The balance shall be returned to the owner. The real property sold may be redeemed in the same manner as real estate may be redeemed after judicial or execution sales in civil actions.

 

(Recovery of Costs)
