Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. { + (1) The State Board of Higher Education may, at
the request of a public university under its control, authorize
the university to establish a police department and commission
one or more employees as police officers. A police department
established under this section has all of the authority and
immunity of a municipal police department of this state.
(2) Police officers commissioned under this section:

policies adopted by the board or the commissioning university;
and
(b) Have all the authority and immunity of a peace officer or
police officer of this state.

its control to enter into an agreement, with a municipal
corporation or any department, agency or political subdivision of
this state for the provision of mutual aid by their respective

section. + }

(a) + } The federal government or any state or political
subdivision thereof { + ; or

section 1 of this 2011 Act + }.
(2) A unit of government has a privilege to refuse to disclose
the identity of a person who has furnished information relating
to or assisting in an investigation of a possible violation of
law to a law enforcement officer or member of a legislative
committee or its staff conducting an investigation.
(3) The privilege created by this section may be claimed by an
appropriate representative of the unit of government if the
information was furnished to an officer thereof.
(4) No privilege exists under this section:
(a) If the identity of the informer or the informer's interest
in the subject matter of the communication has been disclosed to
those who would have cause to resent the communication by a
holder of the privilege or by the informer's own action, or if
the informer appears as a witness for the unit of government.
(b) If it appears from the evidence in the case or from other
showing by a party that an informer may be able to give testimony
necessary to a fair determination of the issue of guilt or
innocence in a criminal case or of a material issue on the merits
in a civil case to which the unit of government is a party, and
the unit of government invokes the privilege, and the judge gives
the unit of government an opportunity to show in camera facts
relevant to determining whether the informer can, in fact, supply
that testimony. The showing will ordinarily be in the form of
affidavits, but the judge may direct that testimony be taken if
the judge finds that the matter cannot be resolved satisfactorily
upon affidavit. If the judge finds that there is a reasonable
probability that the informer can give the testimony, and the
unit of government elects not to disclose identity of the
informer, the judge on motion of the defendant in a criminal case
shall dismiss the charges to which the testimony would relate,
and the judge may do so on the judge's own motion. In civil
cases, the judge may make any order that justice requires.
Evidence submitted to the judge shall be sealed and preserved to
be made available to the appellate court in the event of an
appeal, and the contents shall not otherwise be revealed without
consent of the unit of government. All counsel and parties shall
be permitted to be present at every stage of proceedings under
this paragraph except a showing in camera, at which no counsel or
party shall be permitted to be present.
(c) If information from an informer is relied upon to establish
the legality of the means by which evidence was obtained and the
judge is not satisfied that the information was received from an
informer reasonably believed to be reliable or credible. The
judge may require the identity of the informer to be disclosed.
The judge shall, on request of the unit of government, direct
that the disclosure be made in camera. All counsel and parties
concerned with the issue of legality shall be permitted to be
present at every stage of proceedings under this paragraph except
a disclosure in camera, at which no counsel or party shall be
permitted to be present. If disclosure of the identity of the
informer is made in camera, the record thereof shall be sealed
and preserved to be made available to the appellate court in the
event of an appeal, and the contents shall not otherwise be
revealed without consent of the unit of government.
