HB 3058 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to commitment for fitness to proceed.

HB 3058 requires Oregon courts to determine if a defendant poses a substantial risk of physical harm to themselves or others (defined as "dangerous") before committing them to a state mental hospital for treatment. It applies specifically to defendants found unfit to proceed with felony charges who would otherwise be committed. The court must make this dangerousness finding based on historical behavior patterns, not just immediate risk, and consider it when evaluating treatment options. This change ensures courts explicitly assess public safety risks before ordering long-term hospitalization for defendants awaiting fitness evaluation.
