The Oregon House is working on a package of bills aimed at providing crime victims rights in the workplace. The first bill is designed to keep employers from terminating or disciplining crime victims. Additionally, employers will have to reasonably accommodate victims of crime. Presumably this would mean allowing employees to attend necessary court hearings and participate in any legal actions.
Another new bill is designed to provide private help to victims of human trafficking. See the full story here: http://www.salem-news.com/articles/june032009/vulnerable_victims_6-3-09.php
