This ensures that the parent is present to actually monitor and potentially assert appropriate control over the extent to which his/her child is consuming alcohol. It also provides an exception to the responsibility of the person in control of the private residence in such situations (since the juvenile's parent is present). HB 2263 Relating Clause: Relating to kidnapping. Title: Expands kidnapping in first degree to include kidnapping with purpose of committing sex crime against victim who is under 12 years of age.

Cushman C. Tilby EPD-ADM 1/26/2009 Pri 2 No No Support Comments: We definitely support this bill for the protection of young children, particularly those that cannot fight back effectively. It is often difficult to argue that the offense should be Kidnap I under the old definition because it required a showing that the intent was to cause physical injury. This expands the law to treat a kidnapping as Kidnap I if the victim is younger than 12 years of age, and it can be proven that the purpose of the kidnapping was to further the commission or attempted commission of rape, sodomy, or unlawful sexual penetration. HB 2265 Relating Clause: Relating to search warrants. Title: Provides that search warrant authorizing seizure of items from corporation or limited partnership may be executed in manner provided by Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure for service of summons.

Cushman C. Tilby EPD-ADM 1/26/2009 Pri 2 No No Support Comments: Given the number of times we need to serve warrants on corporations and limited partnerships, this is a good bill that allows service using the alternative methods since it is not feasible to use normal search warrant procedures with such large entities. While this may not be a frequent problem, when working larger cases involving money laundering, ponzy schemes and identity theft this removes a barrier for search warrant service on 10
