SB 412: Relating to cougars.

SB 412 would allow hunters to use dogs for cougar hunting by creating special tags issued by Oregon's Fish and Wildlife Department. The bill requires the department to make these tags available at no extra cost to sportspac license holders, who would then be permitted to use dogs for cougars. This changes existing law (ORS 498.164) by adding an exception that permits dog hunting with these special tags, while still prohibiting bait use and general dog hunting for cougars without the tag. The policy directly affects licensed hunters seeking to pursue cougars using dogs.

SB 544: Relating to the installation of vaporizing detection devices in high schools.

SB 544 requires high schools with over 1,000 enrolled students to install vaporizing detection devices in all student bathrooms and common areas. The devices must detect vapor from inhalants (as defined in Oregon law). Schools must also create written disciplinary policies for students caught using inhalants, but these policies cannot include suspension or expulsion. The bill directly affects large high schools and their student safety protocols. It focuses on detection and non-punitive disciplinary measures rather than prevention or education.

SB 403: Relating to ballot return date.

SB 403 requires that all mail-in ballots must be received by election day, eliminating the previous 7-day grace period for mail ballots. This directly affects Oregon voters who return ballots by mail, as their ballots must now be postmarked on or before election day or physically received at drop sites by 8 p.m. on election day. The bill amends election code to specify that mail ballots must be received at county clerk offices by election day (with a postal indicator showing election day mailing) or at designated drop sites by election day end. It does not change deadlines for in-person drop-off or ballot mailing schedules.

SB 524: Relating to exemptions of abbreviated school day program requirements; declaring an emergency.

SB 524 amends Oregon law to clarify which students are exempt from requirements for abbreviated school day programs. It directly affects students in specific situations, such as those with health-related absences, disciplinary placements, medically complex needs, or those meeting graduation requirements. The bill adds 15 specific exemptions to existing statutes, ensuring these students aren't subject to abbreviated day rules when they have meaningful access to equivalent instruction hours. It declares an emergency effective July 1, 2025, to implement these changes.
