Score 65PRIMARYregulatoryState legislature

Summary

Oregon SB 1532 was signed into law on March 10, 2026, effective immediately, as Chapter 28 of the 2026 Oregon Laws. The law adds requirements for imposing conditions on licenses of residential care and long-term care facilities following preliminary or substantiated findings of immediate jeopardy, requires the Department of Human Services to adopt a model consent form for electronic monitoring in resident rooms, and mandates full compliance with Chapter 619 of the 2025 Oregon Laws by January 1, 2027. It also directs DHS to adopt a differentiated payment rate model for direct support professional agencies and modifies provisions on the use of restraints on children in care.

What this may mean

Oregon residential care and long-term care facilities face new licensure condition procedures tied to immediate-jeopardy findings, effective March 10, 2026. The electronic monitoring consent form requirement imposes a new documentation obligation for facilities permitting video surveillance in resident rooms. The January 1, 2027 compliance deadline for Chapter 619 of the 2025 Oregon Laws creates a fixed implementation gate for DHS and the Oregon Health Authority on unspecified prior obligations.
