§ 137.661 Agency cooperation with commission

Every state office, board, and agency in Oregon has to work with the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission when asked. This includes things like sharing information or helping out so the Commission can do its job.

The Commission is responsible for things like studying sentencing practices and helping set consistent rules for criminal cases across the state. To do that work well, it often needs help from other parts of state government, such as records, data, or reports that other agencies control. This rule makes sure those agencies cannot refuse to help or drag their feet when the Commission asks for cooperation.

In practice, this rule does not create rights for individual people involved in a criminal case. Instead, it makes sure the state government works together smoothly behind the scenes so the criminal justice system runs more consistently and fairly.
