Submit Testimony: Tell Senate Rules to Pass LEAVA
Most recent signers:
The recipient:
The Oregon Senate Rules Committee is considering HB 4138-A, the Law Enforcement Accountability and Visibility Act (LEAVA). Lawmakers need to hear from you — and time is short.
Written testimony must be submitted by Friday, February 27 at 8:00 AM.
The impact:
When someone has the power to stop, question, arrest, and even use physical force against you, you deserve to know exactly who they are and who they work for. Masked and unidentifiable government agents create fear, confusion, and real risk — especially in immigrant and refugee communities already facing heightened federal targeting. LEAVA strengthens visibility and accountability in Oregon.
LEAVA HB 4138-A:
- Requires law enforcement officers operating in Oregon to visibly identify themselves, the agency they represent, and to unmask.
- Builds a firewall between state/local public employees and the federal government to protect our civil rights and liberties.
- Empowers individuals to seek injunctions to stop violations — including unlawfully masked or unidentifiable officers.
No one in Oregon should have to face anonymous authority.
