Oregon

Subnational jurisdiction · as of 2026-07-15

Oregon has no adult content age verification law. A bill that would have required age verification for websites where a substantial share of content is sexual material harmful to minors (HB 2032) died when the 2025 session adjourned on June 27, 2025, and an app store age verification bill (HB 3696) died in House committee at the same adjournment; the short 2026 session, which adjourned March 6, 2026, enacted nothing in the four tracked families. Oregon has no social media specific minor access law. Its age gating protection instead runs through its comprehensive privacy law: a 2025 amendment to the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (HB 2008) bars selling the personal data of, serving targeted advertising to, or profiling a consumer the controller knows or willfully disregards is under 16, in effect since January 1, 2026.
