Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 427 § 427.270 — Report

Report of diagnostic evaluation; recommendations of examining facility; appointment of persons to conduct additional examination. (1) The examining facility conducting the diagnostic evaluation shall make its report in writing to the court. Where components of the diagnostic evaluation have been performed within the previous year according to Department of Human Services rules and ORS 427.105, and the records of the evaluation are available to the examining facility pursuant to ORS 179.505 and department rules, the results of such evaluation may be introduced in court in lieu of repetition of those components by the examining facility. If the facility finds, and shows by its report, that the person examined has an intellectual disability and is in need of commitment for residential care, treatment and training, the report shall include a recommendation as to the type of treatment or training facility most suitable for the person. The report shall also advise the court whether in the opinion of the examining facility the person and, if the person is incapacitated, the legal guardian of the person would cooperate with voluntary treatment or training and whether the person would benefit either from voluntary treatment or training or from appointment of a legal guardian or conservator. (2) Upon request by the person or the legal guardian or legal counsel of the person, the court shall appoint an additional physician, naturopathic physician or psychologist, or both, to examine the person and make separate reports in writing to the court. However, the court shall not appoint more than one additional physician or naturopathic physician and one additional psychologist to examine the person.
