The Senate Committee on Judiciary and Ballot Measure 110 Implementation met on Feb. 7. The committee heard public testimony on Senate Bill 1584, which would allow individuals to petition for compensation if they were convicted of and imprisoned for a felony that was later reversed, vacated, pardoned by the governor or subject to a retrial during which the person was found not guilty. Eligible petitioners would include young people who were in the custody of the Oregon Youth Authority for at least a year.
