<br />IGR BILL REPORT <br />February 18, 2009 <br />CITY OF EUGENE <br />HB 2076 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to provider assessment; providing for revenue raising that requires approval by a <br />three-fifths majority. <br />Title: Creates assessment by Department of Revenue upon patient care, items or services <br />provided by specified categories of health care providers. <br /> Requires that moneys collected by department from assessment be deposited to <br />Oregon Health Plan Fund. <br />Sponsored by: House Interim Committee on Revenue <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb2000.dir/hb2076.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Glen Potter Glen Potter EFD 2/4/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesII Oppose <br />Comments: <br />Fire & EMS agrees with Finance. Bill would increase health care costs generally, and <br />ambulance transport costs specifically, at a time when financial projections for the <br />ambulance service are gloomy. Depending on the rate of taxation ultimately proposed, <br />priority could rise to 1. <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Larry Hill Larry Hill CS-FIN 2/3/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesII Oppose <br />Comments: <br />HB 2076 could have a significant negative financial impact on the City of Eugene and <br />adversely impact City employees and their families. The measure would impose a state <br />tax assessment (rate currently left blank) on net revenue (excluding charity care costs <br />and bad debt)of a wide range of health care providers. This tax on health care would <br />increase already high health care costs. <br />The intent of the measure is to fund the Oregon Health Plan. But this measure's proposal <br />to increase the cost of health care is counterproductive. Health care coverage provided <br />by employers would likely be diminished, because organizations providing good health <br />care benefits to employees would pay a greater share of the tax assessment than <br />organizations providing fewer or no health care benefits. Similarly, individual health care <br />consumers would likely be discouraged from using health care services due to higher <br />costs, reduced benefits and/or higher copayments from individual health care consumers. <br />In addition, ambulance transport provided by the City would be subject to the tax <br />assessment, likely requiring increased ambulance transport charges. <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Myrnie Daut Myrnie Daut CS-HRRS 1/28/2009 Pri 2 No No Oppose <br />Comments: <br />Defer to Glenn and Larry <br />HB 2099 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to firearms <br />Title: Provides persons licensed to carry concealed handgun in another <br />state with protections provided to persons with Oregon concealed <br />handgun license. <br />Sponsored by: at the request of former Representative Donna Nelson for Ken Dollinger <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb2000.dir/hb2099.intro.pdf <br />RespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Contact <br />E.
