ADVOCACY BRIEFS

New Law Changes for 2023: Oregon employers should be aware of some new laws and requirements. Of the 120 bills passed in the 2022 legislative session, many are already in place and some go into effect as of January 1, 2023. Read more on laws relating to settlements, restitution, and workers' comp.
​
Reducing U.S. Visitor Wait Times: A severe backlog in the processing of U.S. visitor visas is delaying the visitation of foreign travelers from key markets who provide much-needed economic benefits to the nation. Urge your mayor to sign on to the letter by January 20, 2023.
