Cybersecurity Policy Report, Telemarketing Legislation Advances in Oregon, (Jun 26, 2025)
The Oregon state Senate voted this week to pass an amended bill that would expand the definitions of telephone solicitations and auto-dialers to include text messages and restrict the time, frequency, and manner of such solicitation.
Among other things, HB 3865 would make it an unlawful practice under Oregon’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act for a person to initiate a telephone solicitation outside the hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., more than three times in 24 hours, or to misrepresent or falsify the person’s identity or purpose in a telephone solicitation.
The bill (H.B. 3865, Reg Sess.) is sponsored by Rep. Nathan Sosa (D.).
