     (1) Fully inform the arrested person of the right of the arrested person to evaluation and the possible consequences of such evaluation;
     (2) Inform the arrested person of the right of the arrested person to counsel before consenting to evaluation; and
     (3) Fully explain the voluntary nature of the evaluation and the limitations upon the confidentiality of the information obtained during the evaluation. [1977 c.871 §7]
     430.460
Consent to evaluation; effect of refusal. Upon obtaining the written
consent of the arrested person, the officer or person making the arrest shall
request an approved site to conduct an evaluation to determine whether the
arrested person is drug dependent. Refusal of the arrested person to consent to
the evaluation is not admissible in evidence upon the trial of the arrested
person. [1977 c.871 §8]
     430.465
Referral for evaluation. A defendant may be informed of the rights of the
defendant to evaluation and, upon giving written consent, may be referred for
such evaluation at any time prior to conviction for the offense for which the
defendant is charged, notwithstanding prior refusal to submit to evaluation.
The procedures stipulated in ORS 430.455 and 430.460 shall be followed whenever
the right to evaluation is restated under this section. [1977 c.871 §9]
     430.470
Notice of right to evaluation if not given at time of arrest. (1) In the

dependent shall be made available to the prosecuting and defense attorneys and
the presiding judge for the judicial district, but shall not be entered into
evidence in any subsequent trial of the accused except upon written consent of
the accused or upon a finding by the court that the relevance of the results
outweighs their prejudicial effect.
     (2) Except as provided in subsection (1) of this section, results of evaluation or information voluntarily provided to evaluation or treatment personnel by a person under ORS 430.450 to 430.555 shall be confidential and shall not be admitted as evidence in criminal proceedings. Reports submitted to the court or the prosecutor by the diversion coordinator shall consist solely of matters required to be reported by the terms of the diversion plan, together with an assessment of the person’s progress toward achieving the goals set forth in the plan. Communications between the person participating in the plan and the diversion coordinator shall be privileged unless they relate directly to the elements required to be reported under the diversion plan. [1977 c.871 §§11,27; 1995 c.781 §45]

controlled substances. [1977 c.871 §12; 1979 c.744 §27]
     430.485
Treatment may be ordered. When the results of the evaluation obtained under
ORS 430.460 or 430.465 indicate that the defendant is a drug-dependent person
within the meaning of ORS 430.450 to 430.555, and the results of the evaluation
indicate that such person may benefit in a substantial manner from treatment
for drug dependence, the prosecutor, with the concurrence of the court, may
direct the defendant to receive treatment as a contingent alternative to
prosecution. If defendant refuses treatment, criminal proceedings shall be
resumed. [1977 c.871 §15]
     430.490
Diversion plan for defendant; participation as condition of probation or
parole. (1) Prior to the initiation of diversion, the local diversion
coordinator shall submit an individual diversion plan for the defendant. Upon
approval of the plan by the prosecutor and the court, the person diverted shall
be required to follow the diversion plan as a condition of continuance in
treatment. The plan shall be entered into the record of the court.
     (2) Participation in a diversion program may be made a condition of probation or parole. [1977 c. 871 §§16,28]
     430.495
Content of diversion plan; duration. (1) The diversion plan shall include
appropriate methods for monitoring the progress of the diverted individual
toward the achievement of the defined treatment objectives. In the presence of

indicating consent. Such statement shall include a voluntary waiver of
stipulated rights as necessary to implement the approved plan. Any authorized
waiver under this section shall not extend beyond the time of participation by
the person in the diversion plan.

outlined in the individual diversion plan, a request may be made to dismiss
charges against the individual related to the offense for which diversion was
initiated as an alternative to prosecution.
     (2) When the prosecutor and the court have determined that the individual has successfully completed treatment, as outlined in the diversion plan, the prosecutor shall dismiss charges against the individual related to the offense for which diversion was initiated as an alternative to prosecution. [1977 c.871 §§18,19]
     430.505
Expunction of verdict. If a person is diverted after conviction, but prior
to sentencing, the court may order expunction from the record of the verdict of
the court and all proceedings incident thereto upon successful completion of
the diversion plan and a post-treatment period of three years, provided there
have been no new convictions for misdemeanor or felony offenses. [1977 c.871
§20]
     430.510
Notice when treatment unsuccessful. If treatment under ORS 430.450 to
430.555 is unsuccessful, the prosecuting attorney and the court shall be
notified before the defendant is released from treatment. After such notice the
prosecution may be resumed. If the person has been convicted of the offense for
which the person has been arrested, the court may proceed to impose sentence,
which shall take into account the period during which the person participated
in treatment. [1977 c.871 §25]
     430.515
Procedure to terminate treatment. Termination of treatment under ORS
430.450 to 430.555 may be instituted at any time by either the prosecutor, the
director of the treatment facility, the court or the person diverted into
treatment. An order to terminate treatment shall be based upon a finding of
substantial violation of the diversion plan or upon a showing to the
satisfaction of the court that the person diverted constitutes a threat to the
peace and safety of the public and that continued treatment will involve direct
risk to the community or the treatment facility. Such findings and showing
shall be made before the court in open hearing, with the person under treatment
entitled to counsel and to due process of law. [1977 c.871 §26]

     430.900
Definitions for ORS 430.900 to 430.930. As used in ORS 430.900 to 430.930,

and includes alcoholic beverages or other substances with abuse potential.
[1989 c.1046 §7]
     430.905
Policy. The Legislative Assembly declares:
     (1) Because the growing numbers of pregnant substance users and drug- and alcohol-affected infants place a heavy financial burden on Oregon’s taxpayers and those who pay for health care, it is the policy of this state to take effective action that will minimize these costs.
     (2) Special attention must be focused on preventive programs and services directed at women at risk of becoming pregnant substance users as well as on pregnant women who use substances or who are at risk of substance use or abuse.
     (3) It is the policy of this state to achieve desired results such as alcohol- and drug-free pregnant women and healthy infants through a holistic approach covering the following categories of needs:
     (a) Biological-physical need, including but not limited to detoxification, dietary and obstetrical.
     (b) Psychological need, including but not limited to support, treatment for anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
     (c) Instrumental need, including but not limited to child care, transportation to facilitate the receipt of services and housing.
     (d) Informational and educational needs, including but not limited to prenatal and postpartum health, substance use and parenting. [1989 c.1046 §1]

Health care providers to encourage counseling and therapy. If during
routine pregnancy or prenatal care, the attending health care provider
determines that the patient uses or abuses drugs or alcohol or uses unlawful
controlled substances, or the patient admits such use to the provider, it is
the policy of this state that the provider encourage and facilitate counseling,
drug therapy and other assistance to the patient in order to avoid having the
child, when born, become subject to protective services. [1989 c.1046 §3]
     430.920
Risk assessment for drug and alcohol use; informing patient of results;
assistance to patient in reducing need for controlled substances. (1) The
attending health care provider shall perform during the first trimester of
pregnancy or as early as possible a risk assessment which shall include an
assessment for drug and alcohol usage. If the results of the assessment
indicate that the patient uses or abuses drugs or alcohol or uses unlawful
controlled substances, the provider shall tell the patient about the potential
health effects of continued substance abuse and recommend counseling by a trained
drug or alcohol abuse counselor.
     (2) The provider shall supply to the local public health administrator demographic information concerning patients described in subsection (1) of this section without revealing the identity of the patients. The local administrator shall use forms prescribed by the Department of Human Services and shall send copies of the forms and any compilation made from the forms to the Department of Human Services at such times as the department may require by rule.
     (3) The provider, if otherwise authorized, may administer or prescribe controlled substances that relieve withdrawal symptoms and assist the patient in reducing the need for unlawful controlled substances according to medically acceptable practices. [1989 c.1046 §4]

funds, the Department of Human Services shall design and place in operation as
soon as possible after August 5, 1989, two demonstration pilot projects in
local health departments to alleviate the health related problems of pregnant
and postpartum women and their infants which arise from substance use. One
project shall be within a metropolitan statistical area and one project shall
be in a rural area outside of a metropolitan statistical area. The project
designs shall take account of the findings, policies and intent of ORS 430.900
to 430.930. Projects shall incorporate promising or innovative services and
activities intended to realize the following goals:
     (1) Promote the involvement and coordinated participation of multiple organizations in the delivery of comprehensive services for substance-using pregnant and postpartum women and their infants;
     (2) Increase the availability and accessibility of prevention, early intervention and treatment services for these populations;
     (3) Improve the identification of substance-using women and their recruitment into and retention in appropriate treatment programs;
     (4) Decrease the incidence and prevalence of drug and alcohol use among pregnant and postpartum women;
     (5) Decrease the incidence of pregnancy among women who use alcohol and other drugs through intensive family planning counseling and referral;
     (6) Improve the birth outcomes of women who used alcohol and other drugs during pregnancy and to decrease the incidence of infants affected by maternal substance use;
     (7) Reduce the severity of impairment among children born to substance-using women; and
     (8) Promote continuing education among health providers to improve identification of pregnant women at risk of substance abuse or abusing substances and improved services to these women and their infants. [1989 c.1046 §5]
     430.930

shall develop a standardized screening instrument designed to identify the use
of substances during pregnancy.
     (2) The department and the Oregon Health and Science University shall request the boards responsible for the licensing of health care providers and appropriate professional organizations to work with them to conduct a series of training sessions for health professionals who provide maternity care on how to assess drug use in pregnancy. [1991 c.706 §4; 2001 c.900 §142]
