Maddy summaryHB 2428 prohibits Oregon public bodies (like government agencies) from collecting or maintaining individuals' political, religious, or social views, associations, or activities without their explicit consent. The bill includes an exception allowing law enforcement to collect such information during criminal investigations if there are reasonable grounds to suspect criminal involvement. This directly affects how public agencies gather personal data, requiring consent for sensitive information unless tied to active criminal investigations. The bill amends Oregon Revised Statute 181A.250 and is currently pending in the Judiciary Committee.
Maddy summaryHB 2303 requires Oregon courts to invalidate state agency rules that force public bodies to violate federal laws or regulations. It directly affects state agencies creating rules and courts reviewing those rules. The key change specifies that courts must declare a rule invalid if it compels non-compliance with federal law, adding this as a specific ground for review under existing judicial standards. The bill clarifies that courts must examine federal law compliance when assessing rule validity, without altering other review criteria. This policy change ensures state rules align with federal requirements through judicial review.
