New Laws Will Affect Faith Healers

State Representative Carolyn Tomei, along with several others, gave testimony in support of House Bill 2721 Monday afternoon. Tomei authored the Bill, which will change Oregon law and no longer allow religious exemptions for parents whose children die in faith healing cases. Oregon is currently the only state in the country that allows those exemptions in cases of murder by neglect and first degree manslaughter. The Bill was heard without opposition, and should move next to the House for a vote.
