ORS 419C.542 Hearings before Psychiatric Security Review Board

A young person committed by the court under ORS 419C.529 to a hospital or facility designated by the Department of Human Services or the Oregon Health Authority may not be held in the hospital or facility for more than 90 days from the date of the court’s commitment order without an initial hearing before the Psychiatric Security Review Board to determine whether the young person should be discharged or conditionally released.

A young person may not be held pursuant to an order under ORS 419C.532 (5) for a period of time exceeding one year without a hearing before the board to determine whether the young person should be discharged or conditionally released.

When a young person has spent three years on conditional release, the board shall bring the young person before the board no later than 30 days after the expiration of the three-year period. The board shall review the young person’s status and determine whether the young person should be discharged from the jurisdiction of the board.

Notwithstanding the fact that a young person who is brought before the board under subsection (3) of this section continues to have a serious mental condition, the board may discharge the young person if the young person did not exhibit behaviors that presented a substantial danger to others during the period of conditional release and no longer requires supervision by the board.
