Bill > HB2743

This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for adult entertainment establishments in Oregon, requiring them to register with the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission and adhere to specific operational standards. The legislation defines key terms such as "adult entertainer" and "adult entertainment," and mandates that establishments install security systems, have on-site security personnel, and maintain a safe work environment. The bill requires the Department of Consumer and Business Services to develop training courses for adult entertainers and staff, covering topics like workplace rights, harassment prevention, and human trafficking awareness. It also regulates leasing fee agreements, limiting the percentage and conditions under which adult entertainment establishments can charge fees to entertainers, and prohibits establishments from taking tips or retaliating against entertainers. The bill establishes safety and health standards, including requirements for written policies that protect adult entertainers, mandate reporting protocols for suspicious activities, and ensure workplace safety. Additionally, the legislation preempts local governments from creating additional regulations about adult entertainment establishments, effectively creating a statewide standard. The bill will become operative on January 1, 2026, with existing establishments required to register by January 1, 2027, and takes effect 91 days after the legislative session adjourns.
