Hello All...
My question is hopefully simple. This has been in the back of my mind ever since I started considering getting a Oregon out of state CHL.
What exactly is a " drug diversion " when discussing ORS 166.291 ?
Relevant part ( I understand the exceptions ) :
---------
Has not been convicted of an offense involving controlled substances or participated in a court-supervised drug diversion program, except this disability does not operate to exclude a person if:
(A) The person has been convicted only once of violating ORS 475.864 (Unlawful possession of marijuana) (3) and has not completed a court-supervised drug diversion program under ORS 135.907 (Notification of availability of diversion); or
---------
California native here so I only know how it's done down south. A drug diversion essentially is the result of a controlled substance charge, where if you are charged with a controlled substance charge you may be eligible to have the charges dropped after completing essentially a court ordered re-hab program. The CA penal code is typically PC 1000 , Prop 36 , OR California Drug Court.
Is this the same for Oregon ?
How about a Oregon DUII diversion ? I realize this isn't a prohibiting offense typically as people with DUII convictions are still eligible, but isn't a DUII diversion a form of " drug diversion " ?
If you read further into 166.291 there seems to be a definition here ? ; The person has completed a court-supervised drug diversion program under ORS 135.907 (Notification of availability of diversion) ?
If this is whats considered a " drug diversion " for the propose of 166.291 how does it apply to out of state diversions or a program like Multnomah's STOP ?
If anybody has any idea I would love to know, definately not a lawyer here just trying to understand. I sent a couple emails out to lawyers in the Portland metro area. Out of two responses, neither knew believe it or not.
And seriously. We really need reciprocity between OR and WA.
