Senate expands list of who should report child abuse, human trafficking April 05 2021 By all of us taking a little responsibility for the most vulnerable in our communities, we can make a difference.
The Oregon Senate on Monday, April 5, expanded the list of those who should report possible child abuse to include hoteliers, and those who should report suspected human trafficking to include employees of restaurants and bars. Sexual exploitation crimes often go unreported and victims don t have the resources they need to find help, said Sen. Lynn Findley, R-Vale. The more reporting the community does, the better.
Both bills on the matter were introduced by members of the Republican Senate caucus and passed with bipartisan support. They now go to the House for consideration.
SALEM â New legislation that landed in late March in the Oregon Senate could allow some college student-athletes to be paid.
Senate Bill 5, introduced March 24 by Senate President Peter Courtney of Salem and Sen. James Manning Jr., a Eugene Democrat whose district includes the University of Oregon, allows student-athletes to âearn compensation for use of their name, image or likeness.â That includes royalty payments for college merchandise sold with the athleteâs name or image.
The bill also allows Oregon student athletes to retain a professional sports agent while in college, but they wouldnât be able to sign contracts for their images or likenesses that conflict with school or team rules.
