Bill > HB2192

This bill requires public bodies in Oregon to collect and maintain information about an individual's immigration or citizenship status alongside their personal information. Specifically, the bill mandates that the State Chief Information Officer and the Oregon Department of Administrative Services establish uniform standards and procedures for compiling this data. The bill also modifies existing laws to further restrict how public bodies can share immigration-related information with federal immigration authorities, limiting such disclosures to instances required by state or federal law, court orders, or valid court-authorized warrants. The legislation reinforces Oregon's existing "sanctuary" policies by prohibiting public facilities, resources, and personnel from being used for federal immigration enforcement activities. Additionally, the bill requires the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission to maintain a public website tracking communications between public bodies and federal immigration agencies, though the website must not include personally identifiable information. The bill is declared an emergency measure, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, with the stated purpose of preserving public peace, health, and safety.
