163A.005, or an assault, as defined in ORS 163.175 or 163.185, and the victim was under 18 years of age, the board, if requested by the victim, shall include as a special condition of the person�s parole that the person not reside within three miles of the victim unless:
����� (i) The victim resides in a county having a population of less than 130,000 and the person is required to reside in that county under subsection (6) of this section;
����� (ii) The person demonstrates to the board by a preponderance of the evidence that no mental intimidation or pressure was brought to bear during the commission of the crime;
����� (iii) The person demonstrates to the board by a preponderance of the evidence that imposition of the condition will deprive the person of a residence that would be materially significant in aiding in the rehabilitation of the person or in the success of the parole; or
����� (iv) The person resides in a halfway house.
����� (B) A victim may request imposition of the special condition of parole described in this paragraph at the time of sentencing in person or through the prosecuting attorney. A victim�s request may be included in the judgment document.
����� (C) If the board imposes the special condition of parole described in this paragraph and if at any time during the period of parole the victim moves to within three miles of the parolee�s residence, the board may not require the parolee to change the parolee�s residence in order to comply with the special condition of parole.
����� (5) It is not a cause for revocation of parole that the person paroled failed to apply for or accept employment at a workplace where there is a labor dispute in progress.
����� (6)(a) When the board grants a person parole from the custody of the Department of Corrections, the board shall order, as a condition of parole, that the person reside for the first six months in the county that last supervised the person, if the person was on active supervision as an adult for a felony at the time of the offense that resulted in the imprisonment.
����� (b) If the person paroled was not on active supervision as an adult for a felony at the time of the offense that resulted in the imprisonment, the board shall order as a condition of parole that the person reside for the first six months in the county where the person resided at the time of the offense that resulted in the imprisonment.
����� (c) For purposes of paragraph (b) of this subsection:
����� (A) The board shall determine the county where the person resided at the time of the offense by examining records such as:
����� (i) An Oregon driver license, regardless of its validity;
����� (ii) Records maintained by the Department of Revenue;
����� (iii) Records maintained by the Department of State Police;
����� (iv) Records maintained by the Department of Human Services;
����� (v) Records maintained by the Department of Corrections; and
����� (vi) Records maintained by the Oregon Health Authority.
����� (B) If the person did not have an identifiable address at the time of the offense, or the address cannot be determined, the person is considered to have resided in the county where the offense occurred.
����� (C) If the person is serving multiple sentences, the county of residence is determined according to the date of the last arrest resulting in a conviction.
����� (D) If the person is being rereleased after revocation of parole, the county of residence shall be determined according to the date of the arrest resulting in a conviction of the underlying offense.
����� (E) In determining the person�s county of residence, a conviction for an offense that the adult in custody committed while incarcerated in a state correctional institution may not be considered.
����� (d) Upon motion of the board, the supervisory authority, the person paroled, a victim or a district attorney, the board may waive the residency condition under paragraph (b) of this subsection only after making a finding that one of the following conditions has been met:
����� (A) The person provides proof of employment with no set ending date in a county other than the county of residence determined under paragraph (c) of this section;
����� (B) The person is found to pose a significant danger to a victim of the person�s crime residing in the county of residence, or a victim or victim�s family residing in the county of residence is found to pose a significant danger to the person;
����� (C) The person has a spouse or biological or adoptive family residing in a county other than the county of residence who will be materially significant in aiding in the rehabilitation of the person and in the success of the parole;
����� (D) As another condition of parole, the person is required to participate in a treatment program that is not available or located in the county of residence;
����� (E) The person requests to be paroled to another state; or
����� (F) The board finds other good cause for the waiver.
