HB 2019 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to Oregon Adoption Day; and declaring an emergency.

HB 2019 designates August 25 of each year as Oregon Adoption Day to celebrate adoptive families and raise awareness about adoption. It creates an annual state observance recognizing the bonds of adoption and encouraging more Oregonians to consider adoption, without changing adoption laws or providing new services. The bill declares an emergency to allow immediate implementation upon passage, making it effective May 22, 2025. This is a symbolic measure focused on awareness, not policy change.
