Maddy summaryHB 4135 designates March 4th each year as HPV Awareness Day in Oregon to address gaps in public knowledge about HPV prevention. It directly affects state agencies like the Oregon Health Authority and community groups (clinics, schools, health departments) by encouraging them to use this day for voluntary education on HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening. The bill's key mechanism is creating an annual awareness event to improve understanding of recommended vaccination (starting at age 9) and screening (starting at age 21), targeting Oregon's lower-than-national vaccination rates (67.6%) and screening rates (53.1% for women 25-44). It declares an emergency for immediate effect but does not create new laws or funding, instead complementing existing prevention efforts through public education.

Directs the State Board of Education to allow play-based learning to be considered instructional time for students in kindergarten through grade five.

Takes effect on the 91st day following adjournment sine die.

Maddy summaryHB 4112 increases funding for Oregon's outdoor school program by $6 million, raising the biennial allocation from $48 million to $54 million for the 2025-2027 budget period. This funding supports outdoor education programs that provide hands-on environmental learning experiences for students, directly benefiting schools and educational organizations participating in the program. The bill also declares an emergency to allow immediate implementation upon passage, though the emergency declaration does not alter the funding amount or program structure.
