SECTION 11. ORS 90.396 is amended to read:
90.396. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, after at least 24 hours’ written
notice specifying the acts and omissions constituting the cause and specifying the date and time of
the termination, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement and take possession as provided
in ORS 105.105 to 105.168, if:
(a) The tenant, someone in the tenant’s control or the tenant’s pet seriously threatens to inflict
substantial personal injury, or inflicts any substantial personal injury, upon a person on the prem-
ises other than the tenant;
(b) The tenant or someone in the tenant’s control recklessly endangers a person on the premises
other than the tenant by creating a serious risk of substantial personal injury;
(c) The tenant, someone in the tenant’s control or the tenant’s pet inflicts any substantial per-
sonal injury upon a neighbor living in the immediate vicinity of the premises;
(d) The tenant or someone in the tenant’s control intentionally inflicts any substantial damage
to the premises or the tenant’s pet inflicts substantial damage to the premises on more than one
occasion;
(e)(A) The tenant intentionally provided substantial false information on the application for the
tenancy within the past year;
(B) The false information was with regard to a criminal conviction of the tenant that would have
been material to the landlord’s acceptance of the application; and
(C) The landlord terminates the rental agreement within 30 days after discovering the falsity
of the information; or
(f) The tenant, someone in the tenant’s control or the tenant’s pet commits any act that is out-
rageous in the extreme, on the premises or in the immediate vicinity of the premises. For purposes
of this paragraph, an act is outrageous in the extreme if the act is not described in paragraphs (a)
to (e) of this subsection, but is similar in degree and is one that a reasonable person in that com-
munity would consider to be so offensive as to warrant termination of the tenancy within 24 hours,
considering the seriousness of the act or the risk to others. An act that is outrageous in the extreme
is more extreme or serious than an act that warrants a 30-day termination under ORS 90.392. Acts
that are “outrageous in the extreme” include, but are not limited to, the following acts by a person:
(A) Prostitution, commercial sexual solicitation or promoting prostitution, as described in ORS
167.007, 167.008 and 167.012;
(B) Unlawful manufacture, delivery or possession of a controlled substance, as defined in ORS
475.005;
(C) Manufacture of a cannabinoid extract, as defined in ORS 475B.015, unless the person man-
ufacturing the cannabinoid extract holds a license issued under ORS 475B.090 or is registered under
ORS 475B.840;
(D) [Intimidation] A bias crime, as described in ORS 166.155 and 166.165; or
(E) Burglary as described in ORS 164.215 and 164.225.
(2) If the cause for a termination notice given pursuant to subsection (1) of this section is based
upon the acts of the tenant’s pet, the tenant may cure the cause and avoid termination of the
tenancy by removing the pet from the premises prior to the end of the notice period. The notice
Enrolled Senate Bill 577 (SB 577-B)
Page 6
must describe the right of the tenant to cure the cause. If the tenant returns the pet to the premises
at any time after having cured the violation, the landlord, after at least 24 hours’ written notice
specifying the subsequent presence of the offending pet, may terminate the rental agreement and
take possession as provided in ORS 105.105 to 105.168. The tenant does not have a right to cure this
subsequent violation.
(3) For purposes of subsection (1) of this section, someone is in the tenant’s control if that per-
son enters or remains on the premises with the tenant’s permission or consent after the tenant
reasonably knows or should know of that person’s act or likelihood to commit any act of the type
described in subsection (1) of this section.
(4) An act can be proven to be outrageous in the extreme even if the act is one that does not
violate a criminal statute.
Notwithstanding the references to criminal statutes in subsection (1)(f)
of this section, the landlord’s burden of proof in an action for possession under subsection (1) of this
section is the civil standard of proof by a preponderance of the evidence.
(5) If a good faith effort by a landlord to terminate the tenancy under subsection (1)(f) of this
section and to recover possession of the rental unit under ORS 105.105 to 105.168 fails by decision
of the court, the landlord may not be found in violation of any state statute or local ordinance re-
quiring the landlord to remove that tenant upon threat of fine, abatement or forfeiture as long as
the landlord continues to make a good faith effort to terminate the tenancy.
SECTION 12. ORS 137.225, as amended by section 12, chapter 120, Oregon Laws 2018, is
amended to read:
137.225. (1)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection, at any time after the lapse
of three years from the date of pronouncement of judgment, any defendant who has fully complied
with and performed the sentence of the court and whose conviction is described in subsection (5)
of this section by motion may apply to the court where the conviction was entered for entry of an
order setting aside the conviction. A person who is still under supervision, or who is still
incarcerated, as part of the sentence for the offense that is the subject of the motion has not fully
complied with or performed the sentence of the court.
(b) At any time after the lapse of one year from the date of any arrest, issuance of a criminal
citation or criminal charge, if no accusatory instrument was filed, or at any time after an acquittal
or a dismissal of the charge, the arrested, cited or charged person may apply to the court that would
have jurisdiction over the crime for which the person was arrested, cited or charged, for entry of
an order setting aside the record of the arrest, citation or charge. For the purpose of computing the
one-year period, time during which the person has secreted himself or herself within or without this
state is not included.
(c) A person whose sentence of probation was revoked may not apply to the court for entry of
an order setting aside the conviction for which the person was sentenced to probation for a period
of 10 years from the date of revocation.
(2)(a) A copy of the motion and a full set of the defendant’s fingerprints shall be served upon
the office of the prosecuting attorney who prosecuted the crime or violation, or who had authority
to prosecute the charge if there was no accusatory instrument filed, and opportunity shall be given
to contest the motion. The fingerprint card with the notation “motion for setting aside conviction,”
or “motion for setting aside arrest, citation or charge record” as the case may be, shall be for-
warded to the Department of State Police. Information resulting from the fingerprint search along
with the fingerprint card shall be returned to the prosecuting attorney.
(b) When a prosecuting attorney is served with a copy of a motion to set aside a conviction
under this section, the prosecuting attorney shall provide a copy of the motion and notice of the
hearing date to the victim, if any, of the crime by mailing a copy of the motion and notice to the
victim’s last-known address.
(c) When a person makes a motion under subsection (1)(a) of this section, the person must pay
a fee of $80 to the Department of State Police. The person shall attach a certified check payable to
the Department of State Police in the amount of $80 to the fingerprint card that is served upon the
Enrolled Senate Bill 577 (SB 577-B)
Page 7
prosecuting attorney. The office of the prosecuting attorney shall forward the check with the
fingerprint card to the Department of State Police.
(d) In addition to the fee established under paragraph (c) of this subsection, when a person
makes a motion under subsection (1)(a) of this section the person must pay the filing fee established
under ORS 21.135.
(e) The prosecuting attorney may not charge the defendant a fee for performing the require-
ments described in this section.
(3) Upon hearing the motion, the court may require the filing of such affidavits and may require
the taking of such proofs as the court deems proper. The court shall allow the victim to make a
statement at the hearing. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (12) of this section, if the court
determines that the circumstances and behavior of the applicant from the date of conviction, or from
the date of arrest, citation or charge as the case may be, to the date of the hearing on the motion
warrant setting aside the conviction, or the arrest, citation or charge record as the case may be,
the court shall enter an appropriate order that shall state the original arrest or citation charge and
the conviction charge, if any and if different from the original, date of charge, submitting agency
and disposition. The order shall further state that positive identification has been established by the
Department of State Police and further identified as to Department of State Police number or sub-
mitting agency number.
Upon the entry of the order, the applicant for purposes of the law shall
be deemed not to have been previously convicted, or arrested, cited or charged as the case may be,
and the court shall issue an order sealing the record of conviction and other official records in the
case, including the records of arrest, citation or charge whether or not the arrest, citation or charge
resulted in a further criminal proceeding.
(4) The clerk of the court shall forward a certified copy of the order to such agencies as directed
by the court. A certified copy must be sent to the Department of Corrections when the person has
been in the custody of the Department of Corrections. Upon entry of the order, the conviction, ar-
rest, citation, charge or other proceeding shall be deemed not to have occurred, and the applicant
may answer accordingly any questions relating to its occurrence.
(5) The provisions of subsection (1)(a) of this section apply to a conviction for:
(a) A Class B felony, except for a violation of ORS 166.429 or any crime classified as a person
felony as that term is defined in the rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, only if:
(A)(i) Twenty years or more have elapsed from the date of the conviction sought to be set aside
or of the release of the person from imprisonment for the conviction sought to be set aside, which-
ever is later; and
(ii) The person has not been convicted of, arrested or criminally cited for or charged with any
other offense, excluding motor vehicle violations, after the date the person was convicted of the of-
fense sought to be set aside. Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, a conviction, arrest, ci-
tation or charge that has been set aside under this section shall be considered for the purpose of
determining whether this subparagraph is applicable; or

section do not apply to a conviction for:
(a) Criminal mistreatment in the second degree under ORS 163.200 if the victim at the time of

mative defense, the provisions of subsection (3) of this section providing that the conviction, arrest,
citation, charge or other proceeding be deemed not to have occurred do not apply and a party may
apply to the court for an order requiring disclosure of the official records in the case as may be
necessary in the interest of justice.

section, supported by affidavit showing good cause, the court with jurisdiction may order the reo-
pening and disclosure of any records sealed under this section for the limited purpose of assisting

Commission that is less than the minimum sentence that otherwise may be required by ORS 137.700

this subsection, the person is eligible for a reduction in the sentence as provided in ORS 421.121
and any other statute.
(b) In order to make a dispositional departure under this section, the court must make the fol-

a violation of ORS 166.155 or 166.165 shall have a civil action to secure an injunction, damages or
other appropriate relief against any [and all persons] person whose actions are unlawful under ORS
166.155 and 166.165.
(2) Upon prevailing in such action, the plaintiff may recover:

(b) Punitive damages.
(3) The court shall award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing plaintiff in an action under
this section. The court may award reasonable attorney fees and expert witness fees incurred by a
defendant who prevails in the action if the court determines that the plaintiff had no objectively
reasonable basis for asserting a claim or no reasonable basis for appealing an adverse decision of
a trial court.
(4) The parent, parents or legal guardian of an unemancipated minor shall be liable for any
judgment recovered against such minor under this section, in an amount not to exceed $5,000.
SECTION 17. ORS 30.200 is amended to read:
30.200. If any district attorney has reasonable cause to believe that any person [or group of
persons] is engaged in violation of ORS 166.155 or 166.165, the district attorney may bring a civil
claim for relief in the appropriate court, setting forth facts pertaining to such violation, and request
such relief as may be necessary to restrain or prevent such violation. Any claim for relief under this
section does not prevent any person from seeking any other remedy otherwise available under law.
