The Oregon Legislature is renewing its decades-long battle against mandatory sentencing laws that’s divided prosecutors and lawmakers amid the state’s renewed pushes for criminal justice reform.

Passed in 1994 by a margin of 65%, Measure 11 set mandatory sentences for the some of the state’s most serious offenses including rape and murder. Rape in the first degree, for instance, carries a sentence of eight years and four months. Aggravated murder carries a sentence of 30 years to life in prison.
