New laws hit the books
as Legislature adjourns
Facebooking
while driving
will be illegal
In your vehicle
• For everyone who wishes
they could pump their own gas
in Oregon, HB 2482 allows
self-service fueling at gas sta-
tions 24 hours a day in coun-
ties with a population of less
than 40,000 east of Mult-
nomah County starting in Jan-
uary . Stations with a retail
space, such as a mini-mart,
must still provide an employee
able to dispense fuel between
the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
• If you spot a toddler
or pet locked in a danger-
ously hot car with no parent
in sight, HB 2732 allows you
to break into a car to remove
them if the person acts in
good faith believing that the
child or animal is in immedi-
ate danger. The person must
have fi rst confi rmed that the
doors were all locked, pro-

including women, people of
color, immigrants, people with
disabilities and the LG BTQ
community — during social
studies after HB 2845, which
directs the Department of Edu-
cation to write statewide eth-
nic studies standards for K-12
social studies curriculum, with
the help of a diverse advisory
group. The department will
also develop more fi nancial
literacy curriculum thanks to
the passage of HB 2229.
• Juniors and seniors in
high school will be able to
register to vote thanks to SB
802, which lowered the voter
registration age to 16 starting
in January. The actual voting
age, however, remains at 18.
• If you forget to pay
your child’s lunch bill, don’t
worry about “lunch shaming.”
House Bill 3454 bans schools
from making students do extra
chores, throwing away their
lunch or otherwise publicly
identifying them as having an
overdue balance on their lunch
accounts. Instead, schools are
directed to work directly with
parents on settling the bill.
• Worried about police
interviewing your child while
they are at school? House Bill
3242 requires law enforce-
ment to record interviews
with minors when investigat-
ing a felony.
• School volunteers with
direct and unsupervised con-
tact with students will also
have to undergo a background
check fi rst thanks to HB 2992.

Another legislative session
is in the books, and with it
comes hundreds of new laws.
Many of the more than
850 bills passed won’t have
a noticeable impact on the
average citizen’s day -to -day
life, but others could result in
a stranger smashing in your
car window or fi nally having
to learn how to pump your
own gas.
Starting in October , it
could also result in a $2,000
fi ne for checking sports
scores on your phone while
driving. Previously it was
only illegal to text and drive,
but House Bill 2597 outlaws
all hands-on use of a mobile
electronic device while driv-
ing, including, but not limited
to, posting on social media,
taking photos, inputting a
destination on GPS or scroll-
ing through a playlist on your
phone. The maximum fi ne
for violations is $2,000, and
third-time offenders will be
charged with a misdemeanor
instead of a traffi c violation.
H ere is a small sampling
of other new rules that might
affect you:

in April, increased the de-
posit on cans and bottles
from 5 cents to 10 cents.
ceeded to do the least amount
of damage needed and called
law enforcement as soon as
“reasonably practical.” The
bill took effect immediately
upon passage.
• It’s not just police cars
you’ll be required to move
over for starting in January .
Senate Bill 34 requires driv-
ers on roads with more than
one lane in the same direction
to move to a lane non adjacent
to any vehicle pulled over
with hazard lights fl ashing,
fl ares set out or other indi-
cations of distress. If there is
only one lane, passing drivers
must slow down by at least 5
mph instead.
• If you get into a crash,
SB 35, effective immedi-
ately, increases the threshold
for reporting motor -vehicle
crashes to law enforcement
from $1,500 to $2,500 worth
of damage. The Legislature
also passed HB 2403, requir-
ing drivers to exchange insur-
ance information after all
crashes. If leaving a note for
a vehicle owner who is not
present, the note must include
the insurance carrier and pol-
icy number.
• Anyone who fancies
themselves an amateur detec-
tive will have to forgo the old
“Tracking device on the car”
trick. Senate Bill 483 makes it
illegal to attach a GPS device
to a person’s vehicle without
their knowledge. The misde-
meanor offense becomes a
felony if the perpetrator has
previously been convicted of
stalking or has a restraining
order against them. It does
not apply to law enforcement.

move forward on building
new skate parks after SB 327
restored recreational immu-
nity to cities and other prop-
erty owners who offer up
their property for free rec-
reational use by the public.
The law removes the threat of
lawsuits that has been hang-
ing over cities since the Ore-
gon Supreme Court ruled that
a jogger injured in a hole in a
city park could sue the worker
who left it unattended.
• Younger smokers will

raises the minimum age for

OLYMPIA, Wash. —
Washington state drivers will
soon be prohibited from hold-
ing cellphones or other elec-
tronic devices while driving.
The Olympian newspaper
reported that the state’s new
tougher, distracted driving
law goes into effect July 23. It
prohibits motorists from hold-
ing an electronic device —
including phones, tablets and
other devices — while driv-
ing, including while in traffi c
or waiting for a traffi c light to
change.
Gov. Jay Inslee signed the
measure into law in May but
vetoed a section that had the
measure taking effect in 2019.
ON THE RECORD
Assault
• At 9:55 p.m. Thursday, a
17-year-old boy from Portland
was arrested by the Seaside
Police Department on Avenue
E and charged with fourth-de-
gree assault, menacing, harass-
ment and disorderly conduct.
He was allegedly involved in
a fi ght with fi ve other people.
