(6) The State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, the Psychiatric Security Review Board or a supervisory authority may reassess or reclassify a person placed in one of the levels described in ORS 163A.100 under this section if the classifying board or authority determines that a factual mistake caused an erroneous assessment or classification.

(e) As used in this subsection, "good cause" means that, due to a person’s transience, lack of housing, ongoing mental health concerns or other similar circumstances, a notice mailed to the person under paragraph (a) of this subsection was not received by the person.

(8)(a) If the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, the Psychiatric Security Review Board or a supervisory authority does not classify a person under ORS 163A.100 because the person has failed or refused to participate in a sex offender risk assessment as directed by the board or authority, the classifying board or authority shall classify the person as a level three sex offender under ORS 163A.100 (3).

(b) If person classified as a level three sex offender under this subsection notifies the classifying board or authority of the willingness to participate in a sex offender risk assessment, the classifying board or authority shall perform the assessment and classify the person in one of the levels described in ORS 163A.100.
