What changed between versions

A-Engrossed → Enrolled · 4 edits · May 14, 2025
MODERATE
This bill transitioned from an 'A-Engrossed' version to the final 'Enrolled' version ready for signing. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, but the Enrolled version includes additional clarifying definitions and rule requirements that were not present in the earlier version. These additions help ensure the law is implemented consistently and provide clearer guidance on when authorized agents can act on behalf of covered individuals.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the administration of Oregon's family and medical leave insurance program, with no changes to the fundamental eligibility or benefit provisions.
DEFINITION

Added new subsection (7) defining 'authorized agent' and 'incapacitated' to clarify who can act on behalf of covered individuals and when they can do so.

REQUIREMENT

Added specific requirement that rules must establish when an authorized agent's authority expires, providing clearer guidance for the Employment Department.

TECHNICAL

Changed document header from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' and updated formatting to reflect final legislative status.

Removed the editor's summary statement that was included in the A-Engrossed version but is not part of the official bill text.
