Bill overview
Senate Bill 1560 limits the ability of Oregon counties to restrict how places of worship (like churches, synagogues, and mosques) can use their property. The bill ensures that counties cannot unreasonably limit activities like worship services, religious classes, weddings, funerals, or meal programs. It also clarifies that counties can only restrict these activities if there’s a demonstrated lack of adequate public services or a potential danger to public health and safety.
