OAR 859-400-0090: Principal Issue before the Panel/Challenges to Initial Sex Offender Risk Score

(1) The issue at any sex offender relief hearing shall be whether the petitioner has demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that he or she is statistically unlikely to reoffend, and does not pose a threat to public safety. (2) Petitions asserting other grounds for relief, including, but not limited to, errors in the scoring tool or by those who conducted the initial sex offender classification review, shall not be heard by the Sex Offender Relief Panel. Review challenges may only be taken as set forth in section 31, chapter 442, Oregon Laws 2017 (4)(a).
