Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act makes changes to which acts are “abuse” of a child. (Flesch Readability Score: 95.9). Modifies the definition of “abuse” for purposes of child abuse to remove the use of certain re- straints on and seclusion of students. Takes effect on the 91st day following adjournment sine die.

AI Summary

This bill makes technical amendments to previously enacted legislation from 2023 regarding child abuse definitions and reporting. Specifically, the bill modifies the effective dates for certain sections of a prior law related to child abuse, changing when some provisions will apply to specific incidents. The bill repeals sections 8, 12, and 14 of the original 2023 chapter 581, which likely relate to child abuse reporting or definitions. One key change is shifting the applicability date for certain amendments to ORS 419B.005 (the state's child abuse statute) from July 1, 2028, to the effective date of this 2025 Act. The bill will take effect on the 91st day after the 2025 regular session of the Oregon Legislative Assembly adjourns sine die (a legal term meaning the session ends without setting a day to reconvene). These changes appear to be primarily technical in nature, adjusting the implementation timeline for previous child abuse-related legislation.
