§ 135.787 Administrator of agreement; appointment; duties

Here's a plain English summary of this rule.

The Governor gets to pick someone to handle the details of an agreement called the Agreement on Detainers. This agreement deals with how states handle prisoners who have charges pending in other states. The person the Governor picks is called an administrator.

Once appointed, this administrator takes on specific jobs and powers that are spelled out in Article VII of the agreement. Basically, this person makes sure the agreement runs smoothly between Oregon and other states when it comes to moving prisoners or handling their cases across state lines.

For someone caught up in the criminal justice system, this rule matters because it shows who is in charge of coordinating these interstate prisoner matters. If you have charges in another state while you're in custody in Oregon (or the other way around), this administrator is the person whose office deals with the paperwork and process to make that happen correctly.
