OR HB2293

Defendants charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor are no longer eligible for release on personal recognizance or conditional release and must remain in custody until arraignment, after which only security release (bail) is permitted

Standing pretrial release orders may still allow recognizance or conditional release for defendants charged with lesser offenses (Class B or C misdemeanors, violations)

Removes the existing guideline requiring courts to "reduce reliance on the use of security" when making pretrial release decisions

Oregon Department of Administrative Services must reimburse counties for pretrial incarceration costs of persons charged with felonies at $100 per person per day or actual daily cost, whichever is higher

Appropriates an unspecified amount from the General Fund for the 2025-2027 biennium to cover county reimbursements for pretrial incarceration costs
