 Oregon kicks off 2026 with a wave of new laws taking effect January 1, reshaping daily life from telemarketing rules to workers rights. House Bill 3865 now limits solicitors to calls between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., capping them at three per day and banning identity misrepresentation, according to NBC Right Now. Senate Bill 548 raises the marriage age to 18, ending parental consent for 17-year-olds, while House Bill 3447 requires age verification for nitrous oxide sales to curb abuse, as reported by OPB. Another highlight, Senate Bill 916 allows striking workers unemployment benefits after one unpaid week, up to 10 weeks, making Oregon the first state to extend this to public employees, per Schwabe and OPB.

In government and politics, these Democratic-led changes from 2025s session also ease civil commitments for severe mental illness under House Bill 2005, dropping the imminent harm requirement amid debates over capacity. Business and economy see employer mandates like Senate Bill 906 for detailed pay explanations and expanded workplace violence prevention in healthcare via Senate Bill 537, per Schwabe. Health reforms shine too: Senate Bill 605 bans medical debt on credit reports, and Senate Bill 692 mandates coverage for doulas and lactation services, according to the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation.

Community efforts advance with the University of Oregons $79 million child behavioral health facility in Portland, design underway for 2026 construction, hosting the Ballmer Institute, as noted by Government Market News. The Knights Campus second phase in Eugene nears March occupancy, boosting biomedical research, per Tradelineinc. Hillsboro gears up for Fire Station 9 opening, a new Hops stadium, and water infrastructure, per city announcements.

No major weather events disrupt the start to the year.

Looking Ahead, watch Oregons February legislative session tackling federal funding cuts estimated at $15 billion for Medicaid and SNAP over six years, per State Representative Rob Nosse in the Southeast Examiner. Hillsboros 150th anniversary culminates in October, alongside Clatsop Community Colleges maritime simulator and UO projects.
