HB 4002 Resources Now Available
On May 9, more than 325 local law enforcement, behavioral health, and city and county leaders gathered in Salem for a facilitated implementation and training symposium on HB 4002 titled, “Deep Dive into Deflection & Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion Programs.”
Videos of all presentations and accompanying materials from the entire day are now available .
HB 4002 was passed in the 2024 legislative session, was supported by the LOC and its coalition partners and made significant reforms to Measure 110. The legislation re-criminalized the possession of small amounts of hard drugs, but did so in way that deflects offenders away from the criminal justice system and into treatment services. Counties are eligible for funding under the bill to create deflection programs but applications for those funds must include partnerships with cities as well as other local partners.
