When a diversion agreement authorized under ORS § 135.886 (3) involves domestic violence as defined in ORS § 135.230, in addition to a waiver of the right to a speedy trial, the agreement must require the servicemember to enter a plea of guilty or no contest to each domestic violence offense charged in the accusatory instrument. If the servicemember, with the advice of counsel, agrees to the terms of the agreement and enters a plea of guilty or no contest to each domestic violence offense charged in the accusatory instrument, the court shall stay further criminal proceedings involving the domestic violence offenses for a definite period not to exceed two years. [2010 c.25 § 5]
