Description

Oregon lawmakers on Monday heard testimony on Senate Bill 1530 and Senate Bill 1516, which would make threatening a public official, including a candidate for public office, a crime of aggravated harassment.

As threats of violence against public officials continue to rise nationwide, Oregon lawmakers want clear criminal penalties for those who attempt to intimidate a public official or their family.
