2015 House Bill 3014 signed by the Oregon Governor. (Keep an eye on OLIS to find the Oregon Laws Chapter number when it is assigned.)
See the Oregonian article: “Oregon grandparents rights” by Amy Wang, 6/3/15:
“Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has signed a bill that will maintain grandparents’ legal rights if parents’ legal rights are terminated.
Currently, if a child’s parents have their rights terminated, the child’s grandparents also lose their legal rights to be in the child’s life. House Bill 3014 redefines the word “grandparent” to mean “the legal parent of the child’s or ward’s legal parent, regardless of whether the parental rights of the child’s or ward’s legal parent have been terminated.” [Link to Oregonian article.]
