policy on dealing with persons experiencing mental health crises was being reviewed. This is a voluntary database, which would not require anyone's information to be included, but would allow him/her to include it. By having this established in the statewide LEDS system, any law enforcement agency in the state could access the information via the computer---a system which would be much more useful than a local system, since a person needing assistance could be in a community a significant distance from his/her residence. We recommend that the bill be amended so that the age parameters in Section 1(2)(b)(C) and Section 1(3)(c) are changed from ""less than 14 years of age"" to ""less than 18 years of age"" to be consistent with other provisions of Oregon law which treat persons who are less than 18 years of age as minors unless they have been formally emancipated. The selection of the age of 14 in this bill seems rather arbitrary, and a person between 14 and 17 years of age should be subject to his/her parents' judgement as to whether entering his/her information into this proposed system would be appropriate."

HJR 6 would be the Oregon's first Broadband Policy. The ORTCC is advisory to Legisalture and the Governor and includes public and private sector members. The City's telecommunications objectives would benefit from a coordinated Statewide policy to Broadband deployment that includes principles important to municipal governments.
