Bill > HB2855

This bill requires the Department of State Police (DSP) to establish public exchange stations where parents or guardians can safely transfer children and personal property. These stations will be designed with specific safety and transparency features, including 24/7 availability, complete video camera coverage of the area, and mandatory signage informing the public that the area is being recorded. The video recordings will be stored for at least 30 days and classified as a public record that can be requested under public records laws. While the department may charge fees for video record requests as typically allowed by law, they cannot deny requests involving child exchanges if a fee is not paid. The DSP will be responsible for maintaining the stations, ensuring equipment functionality, and creating administrative rules to implement these requirements. The bill adds these provisions to the existing Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) covering state police operations, specifically within the ORS 181A.010 to 181A.350 section.
