Oregon SB 1587 — Prohibition on Public Body Disclosures to Data Brokers for Federal Immigration Enforcement

us-or Jun 5, 2026 Primary source

What just shifted

What this adds: Oregon SB 1587 — effective June 5, 2026 — prohibits state and local government bodies from selling or transferring personal information to data brokers without a written attestation that the data will not be used for federal immigration enforcement, creating a new compliance condition on government data broker contracts and a novel state-level limit on federal immigration data access.

What this puts in question: Whether government agencies and the data brokers that contract with them have implemented the written-attestation process Oregon now requires, and whether similar state legislation in Oregon's pattern creates compliance obligations for data brokers operating in other jurisdictions that may follow the same model.

What clients should weigh

·If your company buys data from Oregon public bodies or re-sells data derived from public records, you may now need to provide Oregon-specific written attestations about immigration enforcement use before those transactions proceed. Does your vendor contract template include this representation?
·This law creates a privacy and civil-liberties precedent that other states are likely to follow. Oregon is typically an early mover on privacy legislation. Monitoring similar bills in California, Washington, and Illinois is warranted.
·This addresses Oregon SB 1587's restriction on public body disclosures to data brokers. It does not reach federal preemption questions, federal immigration law requirements on state agencies, or private-sector data broker practices not involving government-sourced data.
