Or. Admin. R. 859-200-0005 - Background and Purpose of Extremely Dangerous Civil Commitment Program
(1) Senate Bill 421
(2013) created a new type of civil commitment where the person civilly
committed is found by the court to be:
(a)
Extremely dangerous:
(A) Because the person
is at least 18 years old and is exhibiting symptoms or behaviors of a mental
disorder substantially similar to those that preceded the act described in ORS
426.701(3)(a)(C);
and
(B) Because of a qualifying
mental disorder presents a serious danger to the safety of other persons by
reason of an extreme risk that the person will inflict grave or potentially
lethal physical injury on others; and
(C) Unless committed, will continue to
represent an extreme risk to the safety of other persons in the foreseeable
future.
(b) Suffers from
a qualifying mental disorder that is resistant to treatment; and
(c) Because of the qualifying mental disorder
that is resistant to treatment, the person committed one of the acts listed in
ORS
426.701(3)(a)(C).
(2) Once committed, the court places the
person under the Board for 24 months for supervision and monitoring while under
the Board's jurisdiction. At the end of the 24-month commitment period, the
court may recommit the person for additional 24-month commitment periods until
such time the person meets the criteria for discharge.
(3) During the period(s) of commitment,
persons can be placed at the state hospital, or on conditional release, or
discharged.
