Measure 11 Offenses

contextualMeasure 11 Criminal Offenses in Oregon

In 1994, Oregon voters passed a law which was listed as “Measure 11” on the ballot. Since then, Oregon attorneys have used the term “Measure 11 offenses” to describe a list of offenses that will result in mandatory sentencing terms upon conviction. With little exception, if a defendant is convicted of a Measure 11 offense, the judge is required to impose years of prison time, as dictated by that statute, with no reduction in that sentence or time off for good behavior. Not only are these sentences significant, but judges often have authority to impose these terms consecutively, so the penalties can stack up VERY quickly. One can end up facing a life sentence if convicted of Measure 11 offenses.
