Arguments in favor
Reasons to support this legislation.
Supporters of HB 3875 argue that Oregonians should have control over the personal data collected from modern vehicles, citing concerns about the lack of transparency and consumer control in this practice. They contend that the collection of sensitive information by vehicle manufacturers poses significant privacy risks to Oregonians, highlighting the need for greater autonomy and protection of individual rights. Proponents of the bill emphasize the importance of safeguarding citizens' personal data and promoting a more transparent and accountable approach to data collection in the automotive industry.

Arguments opposed
Reasons to oppose this legislation.
Opponents of the legislation express concerns about redundancy and argue that there is no demonstrated need to amend Oregon's comprehensive privacy law to eliminate the existing volume-based exemption for small automakers and affiliates. They contend that the current exemption serves a purpose, albeit minor, and that removing it would not significantly impact the overall effectiveness of the law. Furthermore, critics claim that treating small automakers and affiliates differently from larger entities could be seen as unfair, and that the proposed change is unnecessary and potentially burdensome for these smaller entities.
