HB 2456 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to the Sexual Assault Victims' Emergency Medical Response Fund.

HB 2456 modifies Oregon's Sexual Assault Victims' Emergency Medical Response Fund to cover medical assessments for sexual assault victims. It requires the fund to pay for complete assessments (including forensic evidence collection) within 84 hours or partial assessments (without evidence collection) within seven days, regardless of whether the victim reports the assault to police. Hospitals must provide information about emergency contraception and cannot bill victims for covered services, while protecting victims' identities during evidence collection. The law also mandates confidentiality for victims who haven't reported the assault and sets rules for providers seeking reimbursement.
