Sentencing alternatives for parents carry conditions

Oregon establishes the Family Sentencing Alternative Program in participating counties. Defendants must face a sentence of at least one year in state prison under sentencing guidelines. They must be pregnant at sentencing, or be a parent or legal guardian with physical custody of a minor child. That custody must exist at the time of the offense or sentencing. Courts can consider eligibility when state rules allow probation instead of prison; participation is not guaranteed. Community corrections, consulting child welfare officials, decides whether the program fits and must require participation for suitable defendants receiving probation. Courts can require permission to review child welfare cases and past substantiated abuse or neglect. Conditions can include house arrest, electronic monitoring, job training, parenting classes, substance use or mental health treatment, and life-skills classes. Services must be culturally specific and responsive to gender whenever possible. The law adds about $2.65 million for the two-year budget period beginning July 1, 2025, and requires annual reports by January 1. It takes effect on passage, with retroactive authority and approval of qualifying agency and court actions back to June 30, 2025, if passage occurred later.
