Relating to access to health services; and declaring an emergency.

Summary

The law forces non‑grandfathered health insurance plans to pay for preventive health services and any immunizations the Oregon Public Health Officer recommends, without cost‑sharing unless federal law permits. It also gives the Public Health Officer, or a designated physician, authority to issue statewide or local standing orders for drugs or devices to address public‑health threats, with liability protections for those acting in good faith. The measures aim to improve access to preventive care and enable rapid medical responses during emergencies.
