Section 132.310 — Inquiry into crimes; presentation to court, https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors132.html.
Grand jury could not indict defendant for failure to report child abuse, a violation by explicit statutory terms, as this section authorizes inquiry only into crimes. State v. Payzant, 32 Or App 371, 574 P2d 677 (1978) Sup Ct review denied
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels. For example:
(3) A person may apply [...] (4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4), and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but (4) was omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've decided to display a blank section with this note, in order to aide readability.
