Oregon Statutes 125.170 – Payment and reimbursement for visitor services
(1) Not more than once each calendar year, the court may charge a respondent or protected person for any visitor services provided during the year. The court may order reimbursement to the state from the assets of the respondent or protected person for the cost of any interview or report unless the court finds that the assessment would impose a hardship on the respondent or protected person. If the respondent or protected person is receiving public assistance or medical assistance, as defined in ORS § 414.025, there is a rebuttable presumption that charging a respondent or protected person for the services of a visitor would impose a hardship.
