OR HB3781

Creates a rebuttable presumption that owners/operators of multifamily residential properties (5+ units) are not negligent or liable for property damage, injury, or death resulting from third-party criminal activity if they implement specified security measures

Required security measures include: security cameras at entry/exit points with 30-day recording retention, bright lighting (minimum 1.8 foot-candles in parking lots) from dusk to dawn, 1-inch deadbolts and peepholes on entry doors, and tamper-resistant locks on windows and sliding doors

Owners must complete a crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) assessment by law enforcement within three years and provide crime deterrence training to security personnel within 60 days of employment, updated every three years

Plaintiffs can rebut the presumption with clear and convincing evidence that the owner willfully failed to properly install, maintain, or operate security systems, or failed to properly screen and train security personnel

Department of Public Safety Standards and Training must establish standards for CPTED assessments and safety training by January 1, 2026; declared an emergency, effective upon passage
