From 2014-2018, a work group of the Oregon State Bar reviewed ORS Chapter 65, the laws that govern the nonprofit corporations in Oregon. This group identified provisions that needed clarification or modernization. Law professors at the University of Oregon and Willamette University, esteemed attorneys from across the state, representatives of the Oregon Department of Justice and a representative from NAO all participated in the work group.
The changes to ORS 65 went into effect on January 1, 2020. These statutory changed the way all nonprofits in Oregon work.
