SB 544 Oregon Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to the installation of vaporizing detection devices in high schools.

SB 544 requires high schools with over 1,000 enrolled students to install vaporizing detection devices in all student bathrooms and common areas. The devices must detect vapor from inhalants (as defined in Oregon law). Schools must also create written disciplinary policies for students caught using inhalants, but these policies cannot include suspension or expulsion. The bill directly affects large high schools and their student safety protocols. It focuses on detection and non-punitive disciplinary measures rather than prevention or education.
