Bill > HB4004

This bill amends Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 653.370 to increase the maximum civil penalty the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries can impose for violations of laws related to the unlawful employment of minors from $1,000 to $10,000 per violation. It also removes a provision that allowed the Commissioner to refund civil penalties if the employer had already paid a federal penalty for the same violation. The bill applies to violations occurring before, on, or after the effective date, which is the 91st day after the 2024 legislative session adjourns.
