Background and Purpose of Extremely Dangerous Civil Commitment Program

(1)

Oregon Laws 2013, Chapter 715 (SB 421) creates a new type of civil commitment where the person civilly committed is found by the court to be:

(a)

Extremely dangerous:

(A)

Because the person is at least 18 years old and is exhibiting symptoms or behaviors of a mental disorder substantially similar to those that preceded the act described in SB 421, section 2, (3)(a)(C)(2013); and

(B)

Because of a mental disorder presents a serious danger to the safety of other persons by reason of an extreme risk that the person will inflict grave or potentially lethal physical injury on others; and

(C)

Unless committed, will continue to represent an extreme risk to the safety of other persons in the foreseeable future.

(b)

Suffers from a mental disorder that is resistant to treatment; and

(c)

Because of the mental disorder that is resistant to treatment, the person committed one of the acts listed in SB 421, section 2, (3)(a)(C).

(2)

Once committed, the court places the person under the PSRB for 24 months for supervision and monitoring while under the Board’s jurisdiction. At the end of the 24-month commitment period, the court may recommit the person for additional 24-month commitment periods until such time the person meets the criteria for discharge.

(3)

During the period(s) of commitment, persons can be placed at OSH or on conditional release or discharged.
