Overview
SB 1114 (2025) aimed to align GEI-related PSRB supervision with Oregon’s sentencing guidelines so supervision length matches actual harm, while keeping maximum oversight available for serious injury cases. The bill died in 2025.
For 2026, the practical path is to add SB 1114’s core policy as an amendment to a mental health bill that is already moving through the Legislature.
Balanced Harm-based Proportional Public safety preserved
Concrete Steps
-
Open the legislator lookup and enter your address:
https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/FindYourLegislator/legislator-lookup.html - Copy the two emails shown for your State Representative and State Senator.
- Open Email Draft, paste both Legislator emails into the To: line, and send.
- Optional: Forward the same email to the bill’s committee Chair and Vice-Chair once a 2026 “vehicle bill” is identified.
If you do not know the 2026 bill number yet, the request is still valid: ask your legislators to support identifying a moving 2026 mental health bill and adding this amendment language.
Proposed Amendment Language (SB 1114 Style)
This is template language for the policy direction. Legislative Counsel will format the final text.
In cases where the qualifying offense resulted in no physical harm or life-altering injury, and where the person was adjudicated Guilty Except for Insanity (GEI), the period of PSRB supervision shall be aligned with the Oregon sentencing guidelines grid for the comparable non-GEI conviction. In cases involving substantial or permanent injury to a victim, the period of supervision may reflect up to the maximum permissible duration under current PSRB jurisdictional rules.
Plain-English summary: shorter supervision where no injury occurred; maximum supervision still available where severe injury occurred.
Email Draft (Copy/Paste)
Subject: Please add 2025 SB 1114-style sentencing equity language as a 2026 amendment
Dear Senator/Representative,
I’m writing to ask you to support adding 2025 SB 1114-style sentencing-equity language as an amendment to a 2026 mental health bill.
The goal is simple: in non-injury GEI cases, align PSRB supervision length with the Oregon sentencing guidelines grid for comparable non-GEI convictions, while preserving maximum supervision for cases involving substantial or permanent injury.
This is a balanced, harm-based reform: tough where it counts and fair where it should be.
Thank you for your time and public service.

If you want to strengthen the ask, add one sentence: “Please work with leadership to identify a 2026 vehicle bill and request this amendment.”
How to Find the Right Contacts
1) Your two best targets
- Your State Representative (House)
- Your State Senator (Senate)
Use the official lookup: Find Your Legislator
2) When a 2026 bill is identified

- Committee members (especially leadership and swing votes)
Prevent confusion: keep the request narrow. “Add SB 1114-style sentencing equity language as an amendment.”
FAQ
Why an amendment instead of reintroducing SB 1114?
A moving 2026 bill is a faster vehicle. An amendment can be added without restarting from scratch.
Do I need the 2026 bill number to email?
No. You can ask your legislators to support finding a moving mental health bill and adding the language as an amendment.
