(a) Reports of any physical, psychiatric or psychological examinations of the adult in custody;
(b) The presentence investigation report specified by ORS § 144.791 or, if no such report has been prepared, a report of similar content prepared by institutional staff;
(c) The record of the conduct of the adult in custody during confinement; and

(2) If the board reviews a release plan, the board must attempt to notify the victim before the review of the release plan by sending written notice to the victim if the victim requests to be notified and furnishes the board with a current address. The notice must inform the victim that the victim may submit information concerning the adult in custody and the crime to the board for the board’s consideration.
(3) The department or local corrections agency shall provide to the board or local supervisory authority reviewing the release plan any psychiatric or psychological reports held by the department or local corrections agency regarding the adult in custody. However, if the psychiatrist or psychologist who prepared the report or any treating psychiatrist or psychologist determines that disclosure to the adult in custody of the contents of the report would be detrimental to the mental or emotional health of the adult in custody, the psychiatrist or psychologist may indorse upon the report a recommendation that it not be disclosed to the adult in custody. The department or local corrections agency may withhold from the board or supervisory authority reviewing the plan any report so indorsed. [1989 c.790 § 32b; 1997 c.525 § 7; 2019 c.213 § 28]
