Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act changes a definition for two crimes. (Flesch Readability Score: 71.8). Modifies the definition of “critical infrastructure” to include a terrestrial-based cable or wire communication facility for purposes of the crimes of domestic terrorism in the first degree and do- mestic terrorism in the second degree.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the legal definition of "critical infrastructure" in Oregon state law by replacing the term "fiber optic cable network" with "terrestrial-based cable or wire communication facility" within the context of laws related to domestic terrorism. The change expands the list of infrastructure considered critical, which includes utilities like gas, electric, and water systems, substations, pipelines, communication infrastructure, data centers, and transportation facilities like bridges, roads, and railways. The amendment specifically affects how these types of facilities are considered in first and second-degree domestic terrorism statutes. The bill specifies that these definitional changes will apply to any conduct occurring on or after the bill's effective date, which suggests the modification is intended to provide a broader and potentially more precise legal definition of critical communication infrastructure for law enforcement and legal purposes.
