AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) chapter 659A to protect employees from unfair immigration-related practices by employers. Specifically, the bill defines "unfair immigration-related practices" to include two key actions: (1) threatening to contact federal immigration authorities as retaliation when an employee exercises a legal right, and (2) retaliating against an employee who updates their employment information due to a change in their immigration status. The bill defines "federal immigration authority" using an existing definition in ORS 180.805 and explicitly states that engaging in such unfair immigration-related practices is unlawful for employers. This legislation aims to protect workers from potential discrimination or intimidation based on their immigration status, ensuring employees can update their information and exercise their legal rights without fear of retaliation from their employers.
