Oregon Criminal Justice Commission Title: Measure 57 Implementation and Impact Summary: In a 1996 special session, the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 3488 (HB 3488) and created the Repeat Property Offender law (ORS 137.717). The law was created by a workgroup that flowed out of the Community Corrections Task Force that created the Community Corrections Act and resultant grants with Senate Bill 1145 in 1995. The context of the Repeat Property Offender (RPO) law’s passage was that the legislature had just passed SB 1145, creating a system where offenders sentenced to a prison term of 12 months or less served the sentence in local jails rather than a state correctional institution. HB 3488 created sentences of 13 months for certain property offenders with the intent that these offenders would serve their time in state prison, and take pressure off Oregon’s jail system. The legislative fiscal office estimated the measure would require the state to operate 769 more prison beds by 2001. ORS 137.717 has been substantially amended by several subsequent legislatures, and it is this statute that was amended in 2008 by Measure 57. The RPO law was passed at a time when Oregon’s property crime rate was consistently one of the highest in the nation. Throughout the 1990s and the first half of the 2000s, Oregon continued to have one of the highest property crime rates in the country. Oregon’s property crime rate began dropping precipitously in 2005. From 2005 to 2010 Oregon experienced the largest property crime rate drop of any state. Measure 61 was filed in August 2006 at a time when the most recent reports on property crime rates in Oregon and the United States published by the FBI was the 2004 crime data. Measure 61 would have created mandatory minimum prison sentences for various property crimes and manufacturing or delivery of a controlled substance. This measure was expected to add thousands of prison beds and did not provide any funding for drug or alcohol treatment. As a response to Measure 61 the Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 1087 in the February 2008 session which was referred to the voters as Measure 57 (M57) in the November 2008 general election.
