Food Services-Kosher Diets
Repeal of the Department's rules is necessary because they are inconsistent with current Department policy and procedures governing inmate access to a kosher diet. As part of a settlement of disputed litigation filed by a non-Jewish inmate, the Department has agreed not to enfore or apply its current administrative rules governing inmate participation in the Department's kosher diet program, and to work on developing a new kosher diet policy.

Prison Term Modification Credits to Comply with 2009 Legislative Enhancements and Administrative Enhancements
The 2009 Legislative Assembly enacted Oregon Laws 2009, chapter 660 (House Bill 3508), effective July 1, 2009. HB 3508 increases the amount of earned time that an otherwise eligible inmate can obtain from 20 percent to 30 percent. HB 3508 contains an emergency clause and the amendments to ORS 421.121 become effective on either July 1, 2009 (for inmates sentenced on or after that date), or August 30, 2009 (for inmates who committed their crimes prior to July 1, 2009 if the sentencing court authorizes an increase in earned time credits for the otherwise eligible inmate). ORS 421.121 requires the Department to adopt administrative rules that establish a process for granting, retracting, and restoring earned time credits, which the Department has done under OAR 291-097.
Other changes are necessary to align these rules with recent changes to the Department’s rules on Prohibited Inmate Conduct and Processing Disciplinary Actions, OAR 291-105, and to implement administrative enhancements for earned time credits available to inmates during review periods for maintaining appropriate institution conduct by maintaining misconduct free behavior for Level 1 or Level 2 rule violations.
