Oregon SB1560 restricts county regulations on the use of church property for religious activities.

Oregon SB1560 amends state law to limit how counties can regulate the use of church property. It ensures that if a church is legally allowed to be on a piece of property, the county cannot unreasonably limit the activities that take place there, such as worship services, religious classes, weddings, funerals, meal programs, and child care. The county can only restrict these activities if the public facilities are inadequate or if the activities pose a health or safety risk.
