Level
I obligations in local court judgments.
(1) There are two types of Level I obligations in
criminal judgments entered in local courts:
(a) Type 1
obligations include compensatory fines imposed pursuant to ORS 137.101.
(b) Type 2
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.
(2) If a judgment
contains both types of Level I obligations, the local court shall apply amounts
creditable to Type 1 obligations until paid in full. All subsequent amounts
creditable to Level I obligations shall be applied against Type 2 obligations
until paid in full.
(3) If there is
more than one person for whose benefit a Type 2 money award has been made, a
local court shall pay the moneys credited to Type 2 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 court shall first pay all moneys
credited to Type 2 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 persons 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 court shall thereafter transfer moneys credited to Type 2
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 court shall thereafter pay the moneys credited to Type 2
obligations to those victims until those victims are paid in full. [2013 c.685 §17;
