From a public health standpoint, it is arguably a good thing to keep those under age 16 <br />from suffering the effects of second-hand smoke while inside a vehicle. However, <br />enforcement would be difficult and, given the necessary emphasis on enforcing traffic <br />laws which directly relate to driving behaviors that result in traffic crashes, could not be <br />an enforcement priority. <br />Although we took a "neutral" position on HB 2385, we are opposed to this bill because we <br />object to the fact that the bill is treating this violation as a "secondary violation", which is <br />enforceable only when the driver has been stopped for another violation. (This <br />unfortunate concept was introduced into Oregon law by the 2007 legislature when it <br />passed a bill on mobile communications devices.) If something is going to be against the <br />law, police officers should be able to enforce the law; if not, then the action should not be <br />made part of the body of criminal and traffic law that police officers are expected to <br />enforce. The particularly odd thing about the application of this concept here is that, <br />although it may be a passenger that is violating the law, it cannot be enforced unless the <br />officer has some reason to stop the *driver* for some other violation. If the "secondary <br />violation" language contained in Section 2(2) were removed, we would be neutral on this <br />bill. <br />SB 0418 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to expenditure of lottery moneys; declaring an emergency. <br />Title: <br />Limits expenditure of lottery moneys used to create jobs or further economic <br />development to use within economically distressed counties. <br /> Declares emergency, effective on passage. <br />Sponsored by: Senator GIROD <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0400.dir/sb0418.intro.pdf <br />RespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Contact <br />Larry Hill Larry Hill CS-FIN 2/3/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesII Oppose <br />Comments: <br />SB 418 would restrict the use of most Lottery proceeds to a handful of economicly <br />distressed, primarily rural counties only. In the past Lottery-funded projects have been <br />distributed statewide. For example, Eugene's economy has benefited from 2007 Lottery <br />grants for the construction of SeQuential Biofuels fueling station on McVey Highway. A <br />Lottery grant in 2005 leveraged a $15 million investment by Invitrogen to keep and <br />expand its Molecular Probes subsidary in Eugene. Springfield received a Lottery grant in <br />2006 to train workers for the Royal Ceribbean customer service center, which employes <br />people from the entire metropoliton area. The Lottery has also invested millions in <br />upgrading State parks and waterways across the state. SB 418 would limit such activity <br />to just a few rural counties. An important point is that the primary opportunities to use <br />limited Lotter funds for sustained economic development do not lie in the sparsely <br />populated rural areas of the state, but in the populated areas that have the transportation, <br />utility and educational infrastructure and available quality workforce to leverage and <br />sustain private investment. <br />SJR 7 <br />Relating Clause: Proposes amendment to Oregon Constitution authorizing sobriety checkpoints for law <br />enforcement purposes. <br />Title: <br />Proposes amendment to Oregon Constitution authorizing sobriety checkpoints for law <br />enforcement purposes. <br />21 <br /> <br />
