Bill Summary

AN ACT Relating to recordings of occupants of transient lodging; amending ORS 30.831; and prescribing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends Oregon law to expand protections against invasion of personal privacy, specifically focusing on recordings made in transient lodging (such as hotels, motels, vacation rentals, or temporary dwelling units). The bill adds a new provision that makes it a cause of action for a transient lodging provider or intermediary to capture, make, store, transfer, transmit, or broadcast (or intentionally allow another to do so) a visual or audio recording of an occupant in a private space within the lodging without the occupant's consent. The bill defines key terms such as "private space" (including bedrooms, bathrooms, and areas not open to free access), "transient lodging," and "visual image or recording." It establishes that a plaintiff who proves such a violation can receive compensatory damages and reasonable attorney fees, with the legal action needing to be commenced within two years of the incident. The new provisions are designed to protect individuals' privacy rights in temporary accommodations by preventing unauthorized recordings in areas where occupants would reasonably expect privacy, and the bill includes detailed definitions to clarify the scope of these protections.
