HB 2930 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to conflict of interest requirements.

HB 2930 expands Oregon's conflict of interest rules to cover household members of public officials. It amends state law to include a public official's spouse, domestic partner, or other household member in definitions of "business association" and "gift" rules. This means officials must now disclose financial ties of household members that could create conflicts when making decisions, such as investments or business relationships exceeding $1,000. The law, effective January 1, 2026, applies to all state officials and candidates filing economic interest reports.

MINOR
This bill amends Oregon's conflict of interest laws to clarify and expand rules about what constitutes a conflict when public officials' household members have financial interests. The changes primarily involve updating definitions of 'business' and 'gift' to ensure consistency with how household members' interests are treated alongside the official's own interests.
Scope change
The bill maintains the same core scope of applying conflict of interest laws to household members of public officials, but clarifies specific definitions and exceptions to ensure consistent application.
DEFINITION

Updated the definition of 'Gift' to add new exceptions (I and II) for food, travel, or lodging expenses during official activities, clarifying when such expenses are not considered gifts.

Reorganized and clarified the structure of the 'Gift' definition to better distinguish between what constitutes a gift and what does not, particularly regarding official travel and hospitality.

Changed the document header from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled' status, indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is ready for signature.
