OR HB2491

Establishes a standardized process for courts to evaluate petitions requesting remission of criminal fines, fees, or costs, requiring consideration of factors including the petitioner's income, assets, financial obligations, burden of the debt, eligibility for public assistance, and age of the debt

Requires courts to enter a supplemental judgment remitting all or part of the amount due, or modifying the payment method, if payment would cause "manifest hardship" for the petitioner or their immediate family

Grants courts authority to remit fees or costs associated with a case regardless of when the obligation arose

Provides that full remission of a fine, fee, or cost counts as full compliance with the court sentence for purposes of ORS 137.225 (expungement eligibility)

Directs the State Court Administrator to develop and publish a single standardized petition form on the Judicial Department website for use across all remission requests under ORS 151.505, 161.665, and 161.685
