Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Civil cases limit use of immigration status

Oregon civil courts generally do not admit immigration status unless it is essential to decide the case. To use this evidence, a party must file a confidential motion at least 15 days before the proceeding. The judge holds a private hearing and keeps the filings and order confidential. After trial, a final removal order may be used only to set future wage-loss damages, which can lower that award. After trial, federal work-authorization records may be filed when the court orders reinstatement, to help resolve reinstatement details.

Job protection when you update work papers

It is illegal for an employer to fire, demote, or retaliate because you update personal info after a lawful change to your federal work-authorization documents. Employers can still follow federal verification rules. You can sue in circuit court. Courts may order reinstatement or hiring and back pay for up to two years before you filed. You may also get compensatory damages or at least $200, punitive damages, and attorney fees.

Police cannot profile by immigration status

Law enforcement agencies and officers may not target or stop someone just because of immigration status. Immigration status is now on the list of protected traits. Officers can still act on a suspect description or other lawful reasons tied to an identified or suspected offense.
