ORS 135.703 - Crimes subject to being compromised - 2007 Oregon Revised Statutes
2007 ORS Vol. 4 Chapter 135 Section 135.703
2007 ORS 135.703¹
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, when a defendant is charged with violating ORS 811.700 (Failure to perform duties of driver when property is damaged), the crime may be compromised as provided in ORS 135.705 (Satisfaction of injured person). [Formerly 134.010; 1991 c.938 §1; 1995 c.657 §21; 1995 c.666 §26; 1999 c.738 §9; 2003 c.264 §9; 2003 c.577 §5; 2007 c.70 §35]

By enacting ORS 161.705 (Reduction of certain felonies to misdemeanors), the legislature intended to authorize a compromise of all Class C felonies which could be punished "as a misdemeanor." State v. Dumond, 270 Or 854, 530 P2d 32 (1974)
To be entitled to civil compromise, defendant's misdemeanor must affect only per­son or per­sons with civil remedy: acts crim­i­nalized to protect public at large are not covered by this sec­tion; overruling State v. Phon Yos, 71 Or App 57, 691 P2d 508 (1984). State v. Dugger, 73 Or App 109, 698 P2d 491 (1985)
