HB 2650 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to veterans' courts.

HB 2650 creates a state grant program administered by Oregon's Department of Veterans' Affairs to fund veterans' courts. It provides counties with $25,000 to $100,000 every two years to either support existing veterans' courts or establish new ones in counties without them. Counties must commit local funding and submit competitive proposals detailing their needs and how funds will be used, with grants awarded to maximize veteran access. The program requires grantees to report on fund usage and aligns with state rules for specialized court programs designed for military veteran defendants.
