(2)

The PSRB has the authority to release any information to law enforcement and the public it deems necessary to protect the public in accordance with ORS 161.835. The Board will release information on a case by case basis and release the minimum information necessary to achieve the goal of reasonable public safety.

(3)

When the PSRB discharges a registrant who has been determined to be at a Level III, the Board will notify the Department of State Police and request that if the person was not already on the public website maintained by the department, that they be added in accordance with ORS 163A.215 (Release of sex offender information according to classification)(3).
