DUII has been effectively reduced the collision rate and fatality rates have dropped with <br />it. (Sacramento CA conducted such a study over a three year period.) <br />The sobriety checkpoint is a proven tool in the detection of the DUII driver across the <br />country. As you know, law enforcement agencies in Oregon have not been permitted to <br />use this tool due to court rulings with respect to the wording of the Oregon Constitution. <br />This technique is used to great effect in most states around the nation and the National <br />Highway Traffic Safety Administration has established guidelines for the conduct of the <br />sobriety checkpoint. <br />We am confident with what we know about the DUII problem and how to effectively <br />combat it, if we had use of this tool and the resources to use it appropriately, we could <br />take more impaired drivers off the road and save lives. <br />SB 0376 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to allocation of lottery bonds; declaring an emergency. <br />Title: <br />Authorizes issuance of lottery bonds for financing transportation improvement projects. <br /> Declares emergency, effective July 1, 2009. <br />Sponsored by: Senator GEORGE <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0300.dir/sb0376.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Eric Jones Eric Jones PW-ADM 1/30/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesIII. A Monitor <br />Comments: <br />This bill, introduced by Sen. Larry George, R-Dist. 13, authorizes the issuance of $150 <br />million in lottery bonds for four specific highway projects in his district. The magnitude of <br />spending authority is at a level similar to past biennial ConnectOregon allocations. <br />Because, by definition, none of these projects benefit Eugene or Lane County, and <br />because this bill, if approved, would likely compromise or eliminate the possibility of <br />funding projects in Eugene and Lane County, this reviewer sees no reason to support this <br />bill. <br />This reviewer recommends a different approach to the allocation of lottery funds for <br />highway projects. This approach, similar to ConnectOregon programs in the past, would <br />establish broad criteria that apply throughout the state. Specific projects then compete for <br />limited funding, with the expectation that those projects with the most merit and that best <br />benefit the citizens of Oregon are selected to receive funding. <br />It may be politic to work with Sen. George on other legislation beneficial to Eugene. This <br />reviewer defers to the IGR Manager to determine that aspect. <br />The relating clause is broad enough that, at the very minimum, a monitor position should <br />be taken. <br />SB 0387 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to smoking in a motor vehicle. <br />Title: <br />Creates offense of smoking in motor vehicle while person under age of 16 is in motor <br />vehicle. Punishes by maximum fine of $50. <br />Sponsored by: Senator MORRISETTE <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0300.dir/sb0387.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />E. Cushman E. Cushman EPD-ADM 1/30/2009 Pri 3 No No Oppose <br />Comments: <br />***Oppose as written; neutral if appropriately amended*** <br />This bill, which is similar to HB 2385, is really a bill related to public health, rather than to <br />traffic safety or any other area in which law enforcement agencies normally operate. <br />20 <br /> <br />
