OR HB 4088: new version, House Amendments to Introduced
Summary
Oregon enacted HB 4088 (Chapter 52, 2026 Laws), effective March 31, 2026, establishing state policy to protect reproductive health care and gender-affirming treatment activities. The law prohibits Oregon agencies and officials from cooperating with federal or out-of-state law enforcement in actions targeting legally protected reproductive or gender-affirming health care. It makes related records and information confidential and shields direct entry midwives providing such services from disciplinary action under specified circumstances.
What this may mean
Oregon health care providers, licensing boards, and state agencies face a new statutory prohibition against cooperating with federal or out-of-state investigations or enforcement actions targeting reproductive and gender-affirming care. Providers' records related to these services are classified as confidential under the new law. The confidentiality provisions directly intersect with HIPAA and state privacy frameworks governing when records may be disclosed in response to law enforcement requests.
