Oregon passed the first anti-racial-profiling-call statute in 2019

Evidence

In June 2019, the Oregon State Senate passed a bill that would allow individuals who are victims of racially biased emergency calls to sue those who make these calls with discriminatory intentions. The initiative comes almost a year after someone called 911 on Janelle Bynum, a member of the Oregon House of Representatives who was campaigning in her own district. — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 28
