More detail
A public body may share identifying information with a data broker only after getting a written promise about how the information may be transferred. The rule covers Oregon public bodies sharing personally identifying information with data brokers. The promise must say the information will not be sold or transferred to an entity that will use it to enforce federal immigration law. If a public body reasonably believes the promise contains important false statements or omissions, it must reject the promise and refuse to share the information. The rule does not block disclosures required by public records law or a court order, or disclosures of public information under the same terms the public can access it. The law took effect June 5, 2026.
