OR HB2677

Juvenile departments must file expunction applications within 90 days for eligible individuals who turn 18, with proceedings now based on location of most recent contact or adjudication rather than residence

Creates new automatic expunction pathway for records involving misdemeanors with violence or felonies after 4 years post-termination, with district attorneys having 30 days to object; excludes certain serious offenses including first-degree arson, robbery, second-degree assault/kidnapping, and child exploitation

Requires juvenile departments to make reasonable efforts to notify victims when expunction applications are filed for adjudications that occurred before January 1, 2024 (misdemeanors) or January 1, 2026 (felonies)

Guarantees court-appointed counsel at state expense for any person seeking expunction, removing previous requirement to demonstrate inability to afford private counsel

Appropriates $194,019 in General Fund and $5,960 in federal funds to Oregon Youth Authority for expunction processing, with provisions taking effect January 1, 2026
