OR SB613

Repeals Oregon's expanded pay equity law protections that prohibited wage discrimination based on race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status, veteran status, disability, and age—retaining only sex-based wage discrimination protections

Eliminates prohibitions on employers screening job applicants based on current or past compensation or using salary history to determine pay for new hires

Removes the broad definition of "compensation" that included bonuses, benefits, fringe benefits, and equity-based compensation, as well as removes "work of comparable character" standards based on knowledge, skill, effort, responsibility, and working conditions

Repeals ORS 652.235 (equal-pay analysis safe harbor provisions) and ORS 659A.357, and removes pay equity violations from the list of claims that can be brought under civil rights statutes with compensatory and punitive damages

Declares an emergency, making the act effective immediately upon passage
