HB 2135 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to battery-charged fences.

HB 2135 allows battery-charged fences (electric fences powered by battery) on commercial and industrial properties not used for residential purposes. It requires these fences to use ≤12 volts, meet IEC safety standards, include a 5-foot non-electric perimeter barrier, and display warning signs every 30 feet. The bill prohibits local governments from banning such fences or imposing additional requirements beyond state standards on non-residential properties. This directly affects business and property owners in commercial/industrial zones, ensuring consistent safety rules across Oregon.
