Oregon voters approved Measure 73 this week. Measure 73 changes Oregon criminal law for driving under the influence of inoxicants (DUII) and for certain sex crimes. Under Measure 73 certain repeat sex offenders may be subject to a 300 month minimum sentence. And third time DUII offenders will face minimum jail of 90 days. And, the DUII is a felony if it's the offender's third DUII offense in the prior ten years.
I just want to address the DUII portion of Measure 73 here.
