Senate District 7

Close Oregon's disability employment gap

Frame the bill as an economic and anti-poverty intervention that addresses the persistent employment gap facing Oregonians with disabilities.

Make Oregon hiring work for neurodivergent talent

Emphasize alternatives to traditional interviews, skills-based assessments, and the strengths neurodivergent workers bring to Oregon employers.

Treat flexibility and remote work as modern accommodations

Center the bill's recognition that remote work, flexible schedules, and responsive accommodations are often essential for people with episodic disabilities and chronic illnesses.

Make Oregon state government accountable

Use the bill's 3% benchmark, annual reporting, and task-force oversight to frame this as a measurable public accountability effort rather than a symbolic promise.
