A bill is advancing in Salem that would blow a hole in the public's right to know, according to the top official who protects Oregonians’ public meetings law, Susan Myers. @SPJOregon, @OPB and others strongly oppose #orleg #orpol #foia

Bill could enable secret government talks, Oregon ethics chief warns

A section that would provide broad exceptions to the public meetings law 'gives me heartburn,' said Susan Myers, executive director of the Oregon Government Ethics Commission.

Our statement on Senate Bill 686 — SPJ Oregon

On Tuesday, June 24, Senate Bill 686 failed to advance from the Oregon Senate floor by one vote.

The narrow failure of Senate Bill 686, the bill that would require fair compensation for Big Tech’s AI "plagiarism machine," is bad news for Oregonians. We’re proud of our coalition’s hard work and progress toward achieving a solution.

Our work at the #orleg paid off: Committee members rewrote this bill to get rid of a provision giving lawyers nearly six weeks to draft bad-faith demands and threaten lawsuits.

Greater Oregon SPJ@spjoregon.bsky.social · last yr.

We've been hard at work at the #orleg, including by marshaling opposition last week to this proposal that could chill public service journalism by giving people and their lawyers more time to make frivolous demands to retract news articles. Read more from @opb.org: www.opb.org/article/2025...
