OR SB 1570: new version, HRULES Amendment -A12
Summary
Oregon SB 1570 (Chapter 93, 2026 Laws) was signed by the Governor on March 31, 2026, and takes effect June 5, 2026. The law requires hospitals and FQHCs to treat patient immigration status and country of birth as protected health information, prohibits disclosure of that information to law enforcement unless required by law or court order, mandates written policies for responding when law enforcement arrives, requires designation of non-public hospital areas, and prohibits retaliation against employees who distribute immigration rights materials. This is the HRULES Amendment -A12 version.
What this may mean
Hospitals and FQHCs in Oregon must update PHI-equivalent policies to cover immigration status and country-of-birth data by June 5, 2026. These entities must also adopt written law enforcement response procedures and designate non-public areas, and they face Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries complaint liability for retaliating against employees who distribute immigration rights information.
