Bill overview
This bill requires Oregon state agencies to ensure that any contractors, subcontractors, or grant recipients attest that they will not transport individuals detained by federal agencies for deportation purposes, except under a federal court order. If these attestations are found to be false, the agencies can disqualify contractors from future contracts and require grant recipients to repay funds. The bill also includes provisions for subcontractors to provide similar attestations and for the state to void contracts based on false information, declaring an emergency for immediate implementation.
