192.690.
(3) A governing body may not hold a meeting at any place where discrimination on the basis
of race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability is
practiced. However, the fact that organizations with restricted membership hold meetings at the
place does not restrict its use by a public body if use of the place by a restricted membership or-
ganization is not the primary purpose of the place or its predominant use.
(4)(a) Meetings of the governing body of a public body shall be held:
(A) Within the geographic boundaries over which the public body has jurisdiction;
(B) At the administrative headquarters of the public body;
(C) At the nearest practical location; or

(d) Meetings may be held in locations other than those described in this subsection in the event

(5)(a) It is discrimination on the basis of disability for a governing body of a public body to meet
in a place inaccessible to persons with disabilities, or, upon request of a person who is deaf or hard
of hearing, to fail to make a good faith effort to have an interpreter for persons who are deaf or
hard of hearing provided at a regularly scheduled meeting. The sole remedy for discrimination on
the basis of disability shall be as provided in ORS 192.680.
(b) The person requesting the interpreter shall give the governing body at least 48 hours’ notice
of the request for an interpreter, shall provide the name of the requester, sign language preference
and any other relevant information the governing body may request.
(c) If a meeting is held upon less than 48 hours’ notice, reasonable effort shall be made to have
an interpreter present, but the requirement for an interpreter does not apply to emergency meetings.
(d) If certification of interpreters occurs under state or federal law, the Oregon Health Author-
ity or other state or local agency shall try to refer only certified interpreters to governing bodies

SECTION 13. ORS 240.306 is amended to read:
240.306. (1) Recruiting, selecting and promoting employees shall be on the basis of their relative
ability, knowledge, experience and skills, determined by open competition and consideration of
qualified applicants, without regard to an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, marital status, age, disability, political affiliation or other nonjob
related factors, with proper regard for an individual’s privacy. Nothing in this subsection shall be
construed to enlarge or diminish the obligation of the state or the rights of employees concerning
claims of employment discrimination as prescribed by applicable state and federal employment dis-
crimination laws.
(2) The Oregon Department of Administrative Services shall establish procedures to provide for
statewide open recruitment and selection for classifications that are common to state agencies. The

(b) Noncompetitive selection and appointment or direct appointment also may be used by agency
appointing authorities to fill positions that:

(B) Have critical timing requirements affecting recruitment.
(6) Minimum qualifications and performance requirements and duties of a classification may be
appropriately modified to permit the appointment and promotion of trainees to positions normally
filled at full proficiency level.
(7) The department or delegated agencies shall establish systems to provide opportunities for
promotion through meritorious service, training, education and career development assignments.
The department shall certify to the eligibility of persons selected for promotion or delegate that
responsibility to operating agencies in appropriate situations. Provision shall be made to bring per-
sons into state service through open competition at higher levels when the competition provides
abilities not available among existing employees, enrich state service or contribute to improved
employment opportunity for underrepresented groups.

(2)(a) All students who reside in the school district in which the public charter school is located

SECTION 35. ORS 659A.030 is amended to read:
659A.030. (1) It is an unlawful employment practice:
(a) For an employer, because of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age or older,
or because of the race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin,
marital status or age of any other person with whom the individual associates, or because of an
individual’s juvenile record that has been expunged pursuant to ORS 419A.260 and 419A.262, to re-
fuse to hire or employ the individual or to bar or discharge the individual from employment. How-
ever, discrimination is not an unlawful employment practice if the discrimination results from a bona
fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the employer’s
business.
(b) For an employer, because of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age or older,
or because of the race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin,
marital status or age of any other person with whom the individual associates, or because of an
individual’s juvenile record that has been expunged pursuant to ORS 419A.260 and 419A.262, to
discriminate against the individual in compensation or in terms, conditions or privileges of employ-
ment.
(c) For a labor organization, because of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orien-
tation, gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age
or older, or because of an individual’s juvenile record that has been expunged pursuant to ORS
419A.260 and 419A.262, to exclude or to expel from its membership the individual or to discriminate
in any way against the individual or any other person.
(d) For any employer or employment agency to print or circulate or cause to be printed or cir-
culated any statement, advertisement or publication, or to use any form of application for employ-
ment or to make any inquiry in connection with prospective employment that expresses directly or
indirectly any limitation, specification or discrimination as to an individual’s race, color, religion,
sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is
18 years of age or older, or on the basis of an expunged juvenile record, or any intent to make any
such limitation, specification or discrimination, unless based upon a bona fide occupational quali-
fication. Identification of prospective employees according to race, color, religion, sex, sexual ori-
entation, gender identity, national origin, marital status or age does not violate this section unless
the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, after a hearing conducted pursuant to ORS
659A.805, determines that the designation expresses an intent to limit, specify or discriminate on the
basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status
or age.
(e) For an employment agency, because of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual ori-
entation, gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age
or older, or because of the race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national
origin, marital status or age of any other person with whom the individual associates, or because
of an individual’s juvenile record that has been expunged pursuant to ORS 419A.260 and 419A.262,

to classify or refer for employment, or to fail or refuse to refer for employment, or otherwise to
discriminate against the individual.
However, it is not an unlawful employment practice for an
employment agency to classify or refer for employment an individual when the classification or re-
ferral results from a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal oper-
ation of the employer’s business.
(f) For any person to discharge, expel or otherwise discriminate against any other person be-
cause that other person has opposed any unlawful practice, or because that other person has filed
a complaint, testified or assisted in any proceeding under this chapter or has attempted to do so.
(g) For any person, whether an employer or an employee, to aid, abet, incite, compel or coerce
the doing of any of the acts forbidden under this chapter or to attempt to do so.
(2) The provisions of this section apply to an apprentice under ORS 660.002 to 660.210, but the
selection of an apprentice on the basis of the ability to complete the required apprenticeship train-
ing before attaining the age of 70 years is not an unlawful employment practice. The commissioner
shall administer this section with respect to apprentices under ORS 660.002 to 660.210 equally with
regard to all employees and labor organizations.
(3) The compulsory retirement of employees required by law at any age is not an unlawful em-
ployment practice if lawful under federal law.
(4)(a) It is not an unlawful employment practice for an employer or labor organization to provide
or make financial provision for child care services of a custodial or other nature to its employees
or members who are responsible for a minor child.
(b) As used in this subsection, “responsible for a minor child” means having custody or legal
guardianship of a minor child or acting in loco parentis to the child.
(5) This section does not prohibit an employer from enforcing an otherwise valid dress code or
policy, as long as the employer provides, on a case-by-case basis, for reasonable accommodation of
an individual based on the health and safety needs of the individual.
SECTION 36. ORS 659A.130 is amended to read:
659A.130. (1) For the purposes of ORS 659A.112 to 659A.139, sexual orientation and gender
identity [is] are not a physical or mental impairment. An individual does not have a disability for

659A.003. The purpose of this chapter is to encourage the fullest utilization of the available
workforce by removing arbitrary standards of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, marital status, age or disability as a barrier to employment of the inhab-
itants of this state, and to ensure the human dignity of all people within this state and protect their
health, safety and morals from the consequences of intergroup hostility, tensions and practices of
unlawful discrimination of any kind based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, marital status, age, disability or familial status. To accomplish this pur-
pose, the Legislative Assembly intends by this chapter to provide:
(1) A program of public education calculated to eliminate attitudes upon which practices of un-
lawful discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, na-
tional origin, marital status, age, disability or familial status are based.
(2) An adequate remedy for persons aggrieved by certain acts of unlawful discrimination because
of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status,
disability or familial status, or unreasonable acts of discrimination in employment based upon age.
(3) An adequate administrative machinery for the orderly resolution of complaints of unlawful
discrimination through a procedure involving investigation, conference, conciliation and persuasion,
to encourage the use in good faith of the machinery by all parties to a complaint of unlawful dis-
crimination and to discourage unilateral action that makes moot the outcome of final administrative
or judicial determination on the merits of the complaint.
SECTION 34. ORS 659A.006 is amended to read:
659A.006. (1) It is declared to be the public policy of Oregon that practices of unlawful dis-
crimination against any of its inhabitants because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,

itants but menaces the institutions and foundation of a free democratic state.
(2) The opportunity to obtain employment or housing or to use and enjoy places of public ac-
commodation
without unlawful discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status, age or disability hereby is recognized
as and declared to be a civil right.
(3) It is not an unlawful practice for a bona fide church or other religious institution to take
any action with respect to housing or the use of facilities based on a bona fide religious belief about

nected with or related to the primary purposes of the church or institution and is not connected
with a commercial or business activity that has no necessary relationship to the church or institu-
tion.
(4) It is not an unlawful employment practice for a bona fide church or other religious institu-
tion, including but not limited to a school, hospital or church camp, to prefer an employee, or an

that of the church or institution;
Enrolled House Bill 3041 (HB 3041-B)
Page 27
(b) In the opinion of the church or institution, the preference will best serve the purposes of the
church or institution; and

church or institution and is not connected with a commercial or business activity that has no nec-
essary relationship to the church or institution.
(5) It is not an unlawful employment practice for a bona fide church or other religious institu-
tion to take any employment action based on a bona fide religious belief about sexual orientation
or gender identity:
(a) In employment positions directly related to the operation of a church or other place of
worship, such as clergy, religious instructors and support staff;

religious day care center, nonprofit religious thrift store, nonprofit religious bookstore, nonprofit
religious radio station or nonprofit religious shelter; or
(c) In other employment positions that involve religious activities, as long as the employment
involved is closely connected with or related to the primary purposes of the church or institution
and is not connected with a commercial or business activity that has no necessary relationship to

SECTION 35. ORS 659A.030 is amended to read:
659A.030. (1) It is an unlawful employment practice:
(a) For an employer, because of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age or older,
or because of the race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin,
marital status or age of any other person with whom the individual associates, or because of an
individual’s juvenile record that has been expunged pursuant to ORS 419A.260 and 419A.262, to re-
fuse to hire or employ the individual or to bar or discharge the individual from employment. How-
ever, discrimination is not an unlawful employment practice if the discrimination results from a bona
fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the employer’s
business.
(b) For an employer, because of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age or older,
or because of the race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin,
marital status or age of any other person with whom the individual associates, or because of an
individual’s juvenile record that has been expunged pursuant to ORS 419A.260 and 419A.262, to
discriminate against the individual in compensation or in terms, conditions or privileges of employ-
ment.
(c) For a labor organization, because of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orien-
tation, gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age
or older, or because of an individual’s juvenile record that has been expunged pursuant to ORS
419A.260 and 419A.262, to exclude or to expel from its membership the individual or to discriminate
in any way against the individual or any other person.
(d) For any employer or employment agency to print or circulate or cause to be printed or cir-
culated any statement, advertisement or publication, or to use any form of application for employ-
ment or to make any inquiry in connection with prospective employment that expresses directly or
indirectly any limitation, specification or discrimination as to an individual’s race, color, religion,
sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is
18 years of age or older, or on the basis of an expunged juvenile record, or any intent to make any
such limitation, specification or discrimination, unless based upon a bona fide occupational quali-
fication. Identification of prospective employees according to race, color, religion, sex, sexual ori-
entation, gender identity, national origin, marital status or age does not violate this section unless
the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, after a hearing conducted pursuant to ORS
659A.805, determines that the designation expresses an intent to limit, specify or discriminate on the
Enrolled House Bill 3041 (HB 3041-B)
Page 28
basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status
or age.
(e) For an employment agency, because of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual ori-
entation, gender identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age
or older, or because of the race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national
origin, marital status or age of any other person with whom the individual associates, or because
of an individual’s juvenile record that has been expunged pursuant to ORS 419A.260 and 419A.262,
to classify or refer for employment, or to fail or refuse to refer for employment, or otherwise to
discriminate against the individual.
However, it is not an unlawful employment practice for an
employment agency to classify or refer for employment an individual when the classification or re-
ferral results from a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal oper-
ation of the employer’s business.
(f) For any person to discharge, expel or otherwise discriminate against any other person be-
cause that other person has opposed any unlawful practice, or because that other person has filed
a complaint, testified or assisted in any proceeding under this chapter or has attempted to do so.
(g) For any person, whether an employer or an employee, to aid, abet, incite, compel or coerce
the doing of any of the acts forbidden under this chapter or to attempt to do so.
(2) The provisions of this section apply to an apprentice under ORS 660.002 to 660.210, but the
selection of an apprentice on the basis of the ability to complete the required apprenticeship train-
ing before attaining the age of 70 years is not an unlawful employment practice. The commissioner
shall administer this section with respect to apprentices under ORS 660.002 to 660.210 equally with
regard to all employees and labor organizations.
(3) The compulsory retirement of employees required by law at any age is not an unlawful em-
ployment practice if lawful under federal law.
(4)(a) It is not an unlawful employment practice for an employer or labor organization to provide
or make financial provision for child care services of a custodial or other nature to its employees
or members who are responsible for a minor child.
(b) As used in this subsection, “responsible for a minor child” means having custody or legal
guardianship of a minor child or acting in loco parentis to the child.
(5) This section does not prohibit an employer from enforcing an otherwise valid dress code or
policy, as long as the employer provides, on a case-by-case basis, for reasonable accommodation of
an individual based on the health and safety needs of the individual.

ployee or person acting on behalf of the place of public accommodation to make any distinction,
discrimination or restriction on account of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age or older.

basis for asserting a claim or no reasonable basis for appealing an adverse decision of a trial court;
and
