����� (3) That the accusatory instrument charges more than one offense not separately stated;

����� 135.640 When objections that are grounds for demurrer may be taken. When the objections mentioned in ORS 135.630 appear upon the face of the accusatory instrument, they can only be taken by demurrer, except that the objection to the jurisdiction of the court over the subject of the accusatory instrument, or that the facts stated do not constitute an offense, may be taken at the trial, under the plea of not guilty and in arrest of judgment. [Amended by 1973 c.836 �185]

����� 135.670 Allowance of demurrer. (1) If the demurrer is allowed, the judgment is final upon the accusatory instrument demurred to and is a bar to another action for the same crime unless the court, being of the opinion that the objection on which the demurrer is allowed may be avoided in a new accusatory instrument, allows the case to be resubmitted or refiled.
����� (2) If the court allows the case to be resubmitted or refiled, it must be resubmitted or refiled by the state within 30 days from the date on which the court enters the order.

[Amended by 1973 c.836 �187]
����� 135.690 Resubmission of case. If the court allows the case to be resubmitted, the same proceedings shall be had thereon as are prescribed in ORS 135.540. [Amended by 1973 c.836 �188]
����� 135.700 Disallowance of demurrer. If the demurrer is disallowed, the court shall permit the defendant, at the election of the defendant, to plead, which the defendant must do forthwith or at such time as the court may allow; but if the defendant does not plead, a plea of not guilty shall be entered. [Amended by 1973 c.836 �189]
