HB 4150
Plain-language analysis
Generated analysis, not an official summary or legal advice. Confirm with linked Oregon documents.
The bill requires all prospective state contractors and grant recipients to certify they do not and will not provide transportation services for individuals detained by federal agencies for deportation purposes, except when ordered by a federal court. Violations trigger contract voidance, a three-year ban on contracting with the affected agency, or mandatory repayment of grant funds.

State agency and public policy alignment
A state agency discovers a major national logistics contractor is secretly transporting individuals for federal immigration enforcement under an administrative agreement, voids the $40 million contract, and enforces a three-year ban, successfully aligning state procurement with legislative policy goals without litigation.

Small rural transit provider
A small community transit district loses all state grant funding and faces a three-year contracting ban because a former subcontractor it hired years ago provided transport for a federal immigration hold that was later classified as deportation-related, causing immediate service cuts in rural counties despite the district's compliance with current state rules.
Basis: Bill text · Source: Introduced
The bill relies on self-certification and agency determination without defining deportation, specifying verification mechanisms, or establishing due process for disputes.
Sources · Introduced
The measure trades expanded state procurement control and policy alignment against increased compliance costs, reduced contractor pools, and enforcement ambiguity.

Possible effects if adopted; not current bill text.
If adopted, the amendment would remove the word "federal" from four locations in HB 4150, expanding a state contracting and grant eligibility restriction from applying only to agreements with federal agencies to applying to agreements with any agency, including county, municipal, or tribal entities. Contractors and grant recipients would be disqualified or required to repay funds if they provide deportation-related transportation under agreement with any non-federal law enforcement body, unless authorized by any court order.

Official sources do not state why this measure was proposed.
Sponsor testimony, staff summaries, committee materials, or statutory findings may explain it.
Inferred from cited text; not a stated purpose.
The deletion of jurisdictional limits suggests an intent to prevent Oregon public funds from supporting deportation-related transportation regardless of whether the requesting law enforcement entity is federal, county, or municipal.
Basis: Inferred · Source: Amendment -2 — proposed amendment
Must screen all agreements against any agency's deportation transport requests rather than only federal ones; face three-year disqualification from state contracts if attestations are false or become false.
Basis: Inferred · Source: Introduced
Must attest to the expanded restriction before receiving funds and must repay grants if the attestation becomes false, increasing financial liability for intergovernmental partnerships.
Basis: Inferred · Source: Introduced
Cannot rely on Oregon state-funded transportation providers for deportation-related transport unless a court order authorizes it, potentially disrupting existing intergovernmental cooperation.
Basis: Inferred · Sources: Amendment -2 — proposed amendment; Introduced
Must enforce broader attestation requirements, monitor compliance across all agency types, and exercise voidability or repayment authority based on non-federal relationships.
Basis: Inferred · Source: Introduced
Contractors and grant recipients will need to conduct expanded legal reviews of all intergovernmental agreements to ensure none could be construed as supporting deportation-related transport, increasing compliance costs.
Basis: Inferred · Sources: Amendment -2 — proposed amendment; Introduced
State agencies gain broader authority to void contracts and demand grant repayment based on relationships with any agency, shifting enforcement burden onto prospective bidders.
Basis: Inferred · Source: Introduced
The Legislative Revenue Office has assessed the measure as having minimal revenue impact, indicating no immediate fiscal burden from the attestation or disqualification mechanisms themselves.

Oregon state policy enforcement
A county sheriff's department seeking to transport detainees across state lines for immigration purposes is legally blocked from using Oregon-based contractors funded by state grants, ensuring strict separation of state funds from local deportation efforts.
Basis: Inferred · Sources: Amendment -2 — proposed amendment; Introduced
Transportation providers with routine law enforcement contracts
A company holding a standard intergovernmental agreement with a city police department for general patient or court transport is disqualified from all Oregon state contracts because the agreement is broadly interpreted as supporting deportation-related transport, despite no direct immigration involvement.
Basis: Inferred · Sources: Amendment -2 — proposed amendment; Introduced
The removal of the federal jurisdictional qualifier expands the scope to all agencies while retaining a vague operational trigger ("deportation"), creating room for inconsistent classification of lawful intergovernmental transport services.
Sources · Amendment -2 — proposed amendment; Introduced
Expanding the restriction to all agencies increases state control over public fund usage but reduces flexibility for local law enforcement cooperation and raises compliance burdens for contractors.
Ensures Oregon public funds cannot indirectly support deportation-related transportation at any level of government.
Basis: Inferred · Source: Amendment -2 — proposed amendment
Provides a clear, court-authorized exception that preserves lawful judicial processes while blocking administrative or intergovernmental deportation transport.
Basis: Inferred · Source: Introduced
Disrupts established intergovernmental partnerships by requiring contractors to screen non-federal agreements that may be unrelated to immigration enforcement.
Basis: Inferred · Source: Amendment -2 — proposed amendment
Increases legal and administrative costs for contractors and grant recipients who must verify compliance across all agency types, potentially reducing the pool of eligible bidders.
Basis: Inferred · Source: Introduced
