Oregon Statutes 419C.465 – Service to victim
Upon agreement of the adjudicated youth, the adjudicated youth’s parent or guardian and the victim of the adjudicated youth’s conduct, the court may order an adjudicated youth to perform personal service for the victim as a condition of probation. Contact with a victim to determine whether the victim is willing to agree to such personal service shall be by a person to be designated by the court and may not be by the adjudicated youth. The victim shall be advised by such person of any prior findings of juvenile court jurisdiction of the adjudicated youth under ORS § 419C.005. The court shall specify the nature and length of the service as the court finds appropriate. Personal service performed pursuant to the order shall constitute full or partial satisfaction of any restitution ordered by the court, as provided by agreement prior to the making of the order. However, in no case shall the adjudicated youth, pursuant to this section, perform more hours of personal service than would be indicated by dividing the victim’s monetary loss by the legal minimum wage. [1993 c.33 § 235; 2003 c.396 § 116; 2021 c.489 § 78]
