Publisher: Oregon Capital Chronicle
Date Published: April 23, 2026
Relevant To: ALPR presentation (August); SB 1516 compliance analysis
Verification Status: Verified

Notes: Comprehensive statewide explainer on SB 1516: sanctuary law compliance, the end-to-end encryption mandate and its definitional gap (the same gap Jonathan raised directly in the Source Weekly’s Bend PD Policy 428 coverage, cataloged separately), public audit requirements, and implications for Axon’s key-retention architecture. One of the most complete single explainers of the law in this library — a strong candidate to cite directly in the ALPR presentation. Migrated from the existing Bend Surveillance Oversight source library.
