OR SB1515

Compensation for wrongful conviction set at $65,000 per year of imprisonment and $25,000 per year on parole, post-prison supervision, or sex offender registration, with annual cost-of-living adjustments capped at 3%

A gubernatorial pardon with written statement of innocence or a prior court finding that no reasonable juror would have convicted now serve as sufficient proof of innocence for compensation claims

Attorney General must review compensation petitions within 180 days and may not oppose claims when evidence satisfies statutory requirements; annual reporting to the legislature required

New post-conviction relief process created for convictions based on discredited forensic science disciplines: hair microscopy, bite mark analysis/comparison, or comparative bullet lead analysis

Petitioners have two years from the effective date to file claims based on discredited forensic science; standard procedural bars on successive petitions do not apply to these claims
