OR SB1007

Amends Oregon's wrongful conviction compensation law to add new ways to prove innocence, including gubernatorial pardons with written statements of innocence, prior court findings that no reasonable juror would have convicted, and determinations by nationally recognized exoneration registries

Expands compensation to include time spent awaiting trial or retrial and time on pretrial supervision, in addition to existing coverage for imprisonment, parole, post-prison supervision, and sex offender registration requirements

Adds new mandatory awards including expert witness fees, and optional lump-sum payments for up to four years of tuition at Oregon public institutions, up to 10 years of health insurance coverage, and costs of accessing reentry services

Requires the Attorney General to review compensation claims within 180 days and not oppose petitions where evidence satisfies statutory requirements, with annual reporting to the legislature on determinations and attorney fees

Makes certificates of innocence mandatory rather than optional when petitioners prevail, and requires courts to set aside and seal associated conviction and arrest records; takes effect July 15, 2025 as an emergency measure
