§ 137.845 Oregon Treatment Court Grant Program Account

This law creates a special fund called the Oregon Treatment Court Grant Program Account. The money in this account is kept separate from the state's main General Fund, so it can only be used for one specific purpose.

That purpose is funding treatment courts in Oregon. Treatment courts are special court programs that help people with issues like drug addiction or mental health problems, often as an alternative to regular criminal punishment. The money in this account goes to the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, which oversees how it gets used to support these programs.

The law also has a timing detail. Right now, the money is meant to support the treatment court grant program in general. But starting July 1, 2026, the law changes slightly to specify that the money supports two particular parts of Oregon law dealing with treatment court funding and requirements. This just means the exact legal reference for how the money can be used will update on that date, though the overall purpose stays focused on treatment courts.
