Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Protection against immigration-based police profiling

Oregon adds real or perceived immigration status to its protections against law-enforcement profiling. Officers cannot target someone solely because of that status based on suspicion of a law violation. The definition excludes actions based on a suspect description or information tied to an identified or suspected law violation. These rules take effect on the 91st day after Oregon’s 2026 regular legislative session adjourns.

Workers protected when updating work papers

Oregon employers cannot fire, punish, or discriminate against workers for updating personal information after lawful changes to federal work-authorization documents. Workers are also protected when they try to make these updates. Employers can still take steps required by federal work-verification rules. An independent action by a third-party benefits administrator does not, by itself, make the employer liable. Workers can sue and seek compensation for harm or $200, whichever is greater, plus possible punitive damages. These protections take effect on the 91st day after Oregon’s 2026 regular legislative session adjourns.

Immigration status shielded in civil cases

Oregon civil courts generally cannot admit evidence of a party’s or witness’s immigration status. An exception applies when that status is essential to prove a claim or the relief sought. After trial, a final removal order can be used only to calculate future lost wages already awarded. Federal work-authorization information can be submitted after trial if reinstatement was awarded. A party seeking an exception must file a confidential motion for a private court hearing and a confidential order limiting use. The general exception requires filing at least 15 days before the proceeding, unless the court changes that deadline for good cause. People can still disclose their status to the court voluntarily. These rules take effect on the 91st day after Oregon’s 2026 regular legislative session adjourns.
