OR HB4145

Modifies Oregon's Ballot Measure 114 (2022) firearm permit-to-purchase system by extending processing time from 30 to 60 days, increasing maximum fees from $65 to $150 for initial applications and $50 to $110 for renewals, and expanding acceptable firearms safety training alternatives to include military qualification, NRA instructor certification, and concealed handgun license courses.

Delays the permit requirement for firearm transfers until January 1, 2028, while maintaining criminal background check requirements for all purchases; exempts active and retired law enforcement officers from the permit requirement.

Protects permit application information and the permit holder database from public records disclosure; requires annual reporting on permit applications by county including racial and gender demographics.

Clarifies large-capacity magazine provisions by prohibiting prosecution for conduct occurring while enforcement is court-enjoined, providing gun dealers and manufacturers 180 days after any appellate reversal of an injunction to dispose of or transfer inventory, and expanding exceptions for active and retired law enforcement officers.

Declares an emergency for immediate effect upon passage and requires any legal challenges to the Act to be filed in Marion County Circuit Court.
