Bill Summary
The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act modifies a defined term for purposes of OLFA. (Flesch Readability Score: 61.3). Modifies the definition of “health care provider” for purposes of laws concerning job-protected leave. Takes effect on the 91st day following adjournment sine die.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of "health care provider" in Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) related to job-protected leave laws by removing a specific limitation on chiropractic physicians. Currently, chiropractic physicians are only considered health care providers when providing manual spine manipulation verified by X-rays, but this bill would remove that restrictive language, effectively expanding the definition to include chiropractic physicians more broadly. The bill maintains the existing comprehensive list of health care providers, which includes various licensed medical professionals such as physicians, nurses, dentists, psychologists, and others. By broadening the definition, the bill potentially increases the range of medical professionals who can certify medical leave for employees or their family members under Oregon's family leave laws. The bill is set to take effect on the 91st day after the adjournment of the 2025 regular session of the Oregon Legislative Assembly, which means it will become law shortly after the legislative session concludes.
