§ 144.620 Short title

This law gives an official name to a group of related rules found in ORS 144.610. That name is the Uniform Act for Out-of-State Supervision.

This act deals with how people on probation or parole can be supervised if they move to a different state, or how someone from another state can be supervised while living in Oregon. Giving it a short title just makes it easier to reference and talk about, instead of repeating the full legal citation every time.

If you or someone you know is on probation or parole and needs to move across state lines, this is the law that sets up the system for making that happen. It allows supervision responsibilities to transfer between states so the person does not have to stay in one place just to complete their supervision.
