Conditional release by board; order for return; termination or modification of conditional release; hearing. (1)(a) When a person is conditionally released under ORS 161.315 to 161.351, the person is subject to those supervisory orders of the Psychiatric Security Review Board as are in the best interests of justice, the protection of society and the welfare of the person. (b) An order of conditional release entered by the board may designate any person or state, county or local agency capable of supervising the person upon release, subject to the conditions described in the order of conditional release. (c) Prior to the designation, the board shall notify the person or state, county or local agency to whom conditional release is contemplated and provide the person or state, county or local agency an opportunity to be heard. (d) After receiving an order entered under this section, the person or state, county or local agency designated in the order shall assume supervision of the person in accordance with the conditions described in the order and any modifications of the conditions ordered by the board. (2) Conditions of release contained in orders entered under this section may be modified from time to time and conditional releases may be terminated as provided in ORS 161.351. (3)(a) As a condition of release, the person may be required to report to any state or local mental health facility for evaluation. Whenever medical, psychiatric or psychological treatment is recommended, the order may require the person, as a condition of release, to cooperate with and accept the treatment from the facility. (b) The facility to which the person has been referred for evaluation shall perform the evaluation and submit a written report of its findings to the board. If the facility finds that treatment of the person is appropriate, it shall include its recommendations for treatment in the report to the board. (c) Whenever treatment is provided by the facility, it shall furnish reports to the board on a regular basis concerning the progress of the person. (d) Copies of all reports submitted to the board pursuant to this section shall be furnished to the person and the person’s counsel. The confidentiality of these reports is determined pursuant to ORS 161.353 and 192.311 to 192.478. (e) The facility shall comply with the conditional release order and any modifications of the conditions ordered by the board.

(B) An order described in this paragraph may be issued when the supervising entity, the authorized designee or, if the person has absconded, the community mental health program director, has determined that: (i) The person has violated the terms of conditional release; or (ii) The mental health of the person has changed such that the supervising entity, or, if applicable, the authorized designee or the community mental health program director, reasonably believes that the person may no longer be fit for conditional release.

(b) A peace officer, the director of the facility providing treatment to a person on conditional release or any person responsible for the supervision of a person on conditional release may take a person on conditional release into custody, or request that the person be taken into custody, if there is reasonable cause to believe the person is a substantial danger to others because of a mental disorder and that the person is in need of immediate care, custody or treatment. (c) When a person is taken into custody by a peace officer under this subsection, the agency employing the peace officer shall cause the person, as soon as practicable, to be transported to a state hospital or other facility designated by the supervising entity.
