Summary

Oregon HB 4088, enacted as Chapter 52 of the 2026 Oregon Laws and effective March 31, 2026, declares a state policy protecting participation in legally protected reproductive health care and gender-affirming treatment. The law prohibits Oregon law enforcement and state agencies from cooperating with federal law enforcement or out-of-state agencies in actions arising from such activities, and makes specified records and information related to these services confidential. It also shields direct-entry midwives from disciplinary action for providing reproductive health care or gender-affirming treatment under defined circumstances.

What this may mean

Oregon healthcare providers offering reproductive health care or gender-affirming treatment services are shielded from state-level cooperation with federal or out-of-state law enforcement investigations targeting those services, effective March 31, 2026. The confidentiality provisions create new protections for patient records related to those services, with implications for Oregon providers responding to subpoenas or information requests from other jurisdictions. Direct-entry midwives who provide covered services under specified conditions gain explicit protection from state disciplinary action.
