Bill > SB857

This bill adds a new provision to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) chapter 462 that protects the confidentiality of individuals who report potential violations of animal racing laws to the Oregon Racing Commission. Specifically, the bill ensures that when a person reports a violation or potential violation of statutes, rules, or orders related to racing, their identity will remain confidential and will not be subject to public disclosure under Oregon's public records laws (ORS 192.311 to 192.478). The bill also allows the person making the report to voluntarily waive this confidentiality protection if they choose to do so. This provision aims to encourage reporting of potential racing law violations by providing anonymity to individuals who might otherwise be hesitant to come forward with information due to concerns about potential repercussions.
