SB 987 amends Oregon law to require the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission to classify "felon in possession of a firearm" as crime category 8 in the state's sentencing guidelines. This bill directly affects individuals convicted of a felony who possess a firearm, as it changes how this offense is categorized for sentencing purposes (currently a Class C felony under ORS 166.270(5)). The key provision mandates the Commission to assign this specific crime category, which influences sentencing severity without altering the underlying offense definition or penalties. The bill does not change the basic requirements for the offense (e.g., felony conviction, firearm possession) or the exceptions listed in subsection (4), such as those with only one non-violent felony conviction after 15 years. This is a procedural change to sentencing classification, not a substantive policy shift.

The bill amends existing statute to update the expiration year, maintaining the exemption without requiring new tax payments for qualifying containers during the extended period.
