ORS 137.151 Level I obligations in local court judgments

There are two types of Level I obligations in criminal judgments entered in local courts:

Type 1 obligations include compensatory fines imposed pursuant to ORS 137.101.

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.

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.

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:

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 person’s proportionate share of the total amount of obligations subject to payment under this paragraph.

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.

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.
