Bill > SB14

This bill creates a new criminal offense of indecent exposure in Oregon, defining it as a person exposing their genitals in a public place or a place visible from a public place that is open or accessible to persons of the opposite sex or minors. The offense is classified as a Class B misdemeanor, which typically carries a maximum penalty of up to six months in jail, a fine of up to $2,500, or both. The bill also amends an existing section of Oregon law (ORS 161.005) to include this new section in the Oregon Criminal Code of 1971, ensuring that the new indecent exposure provision is formally integrated into the state's existing criminal statutes. By creating this specific criminal charge, the bill aims to provide clear legal guidelines and consequences for inappropriate public exposure, with the intent of protecting public decency and preventing potential harassment or offensive behavior.
