Statute Text
Probation for person convicted of crime described in ORS 163.305 to 163.467;
examination; report; written consent of convicted person.
(1) If a person pleads guilty or
no contest to, or is found guilty of, a crime described in ORS 163.305 to
163.467, and if the court contemplates sentencing the person to probation, the
court, before entering judgment, may order that the person undergo an
examination by a psychiatrist or other physician found qualified and appointed
by the court to determine whether available medical treatment would be likely
to reduce such biological, emotional or psychological impulses, including any
paraphilia, which may be the cause of the criminal conduct and, if so, whether
the person is a suitable candidate medically for such treatment. Such medical
treatments may include the taking of prescribed medication.
(2) If the
examining psychiatrist or other physician reports that available medical
treatment would be likely to reduce the biological, emotional or psychological
impulses that were a probable cause of the criminal conduct, and that the
person is a suitable candidate medically for such treatment, the court may
include as a condition of probation that the person participate in a prescribed
program of medicine and accept medical treatment at the persons own expense
under the care of the psychiatrist or other physician appointed by the court
and that the person faithfully participate in the prescribed program of medical
treatment during the course of the probation.
(3) A sentence of
probation under this section shall not be imposed except upon the written
consent of the convicted person. Probation under this section may be revoked
upon any failure of the convicted person to cooperate in the treatment program,
including, but not limited to, any failure to meet with the treating physician
as directed by the physician or to take medication or otherwise to participate
in the prescribed program of medical treatment during the course of the
probation. [1987 c.908 §3; 1993 c.14 §9]
