Chapter 419C — Juvenile Code: Delinquency
ORS 419C.150 Time limitations on detention; exceptions
Except as otherwise provided in this section, a youth may be held in detention under this section and ORS 419C.145, 419C.153 and 419C.156 for a maximum of 28 days except for good cause shown prior to the expiration of the 28-day period.

Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to a youth alleged to be within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court for having committed an act that would be murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder or treason if committed by an adult and if proof of the act is evident or the presumption strong that the youth committed the act. The juvenile court may conduct such hearing as the court considers necessary to determine whether the proof is evident or the presumption strong.
The time limits described in subsection (1) of this section do not apply if:
The court has not entered an order determining the youth’s fitness to proceed pursuant to a motion made under ORS 419C.378 or the motion has not otherwise been resolved; and
Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, the detention of the youth whose detention has been continued under paragraph (a) of this subsection may be extended for no more than 28 days upon entry of an order determining the youth’s fitness to proceed pursuant to a motion made under ORS 419C.378 or upon other resolution of the motion, and if the court holds the review hearings required by ORS 419C.153 and determines that detention of the youth under ORS 419C.145 should continue.
The time limits described in subsection (1) of this section do not apply if:
The state has filed a motion requesting waiver under ORS 419C.349;
The motion has not been resolved; and
The court holds the review hearings required by ORS 419C.153 and determines that detention of the youth should continue.
Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, the detention of the youth whose detention has been continued under paragraph (a) of this subsection may be extended for no more than 28 days upon entry of an order denying a motion for waiver hearing or an order denying waiver, and if the court holds the review hearings required by ORS 419C.153 and determines that detention of the youth should continue.
The detention of the youth may be extended for more than 28 days under this paragraph if expressly agreed to by the youth, and if the court holds the review hearings required by ORS 419C.153 and determines that detention of the youth should continue.
