Comments: <br />Likely no impact to City, low strike potential with unions and in case of strike, City would <br />likely choose not to use such tactics. <br />HB 2553 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to motor vehicle accidents. <br />Title: Requires Department of Transportation to remove or cause to be removed any vehicle, <br />cargo or debris from state highway after motor vehicle accident if accident resulted in <br />death of person 18 years of age or younger. <br />Sponsored by: Representative BRUUN (at the request of Family of Daniel Sawyer) <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb2500.dir/hb2553.intro.pdf <br />RespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Contact <br />E. Cushman E. Cushman EPD-ADM 2/9/2009 Pri 3 No No Oppose <br />Comments: <br />Although this bill in its current form will not have a direct impact on the City, we oppose <br />the bill because it is bad public policy. We recommend that the City have a formal <br />position of opposition to the bill so that we can respond if asked our position on the bill, <br />but that we not expend any lobbying resources to actively oppose it. <br />This bill creates an unfunded mandate for the Oregon Department of Transportation. It <br />puts a burden on them to remove any debris from a traffic crash involving the death of a <br />person 18 years of age or younger, irrespective of fault. In some cases, particularly in a <br />fatal crash, such clean-up could result in significant expense. And there is no good policy <br />reason to separate out crashes involving those who are 18 years of age and younger <br />from any other fatal crash. This bill appears to be one introduced at the request of the <br />family of such a crash victim. Such particularlized legislation has no place in Oregon law, <br />particularly in the light of increasingly scarce public resouces. <br />If the bill moves, it needs to be monitored for any changes which would impact City <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Tom Larsen Tom Larsen PWM 2/9/2009 Pri 3 No No Oppose <br />Comments: <br />While this bill has no impact on the city as it applies only to teh State Highway <br />deapartment for crashes on State Highways in specific circumstances, it represents very <br />poor public policy. It shifts the responsibility for the cost of vehicle removal and clean up <br />in crashs when a person 18 or under dies from the vehicle owners to the State. While <br />very limited in scope, creating a special type of totalled or abandoned vehicle that the <br />road authority is responsible constitutes an unfunded mandate and bad preceedent. <br />I don't beleive the bill in current form deserves active opposition from the city, but we <br />should be on record and if asked be opposed to the concept. <br />If this bill become law we should watch for future expansion to other road authorities and <br />other crash types. <br />HB 2559 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to vehicle fuels. <br />Title: Removes requirement for State Department of Agriculture to monitor ethanol fuel <br />production and issue notice when ethanol production reaches specified level. <br /> Removes requirement that retail dealer, nonretail dealer or wholesale dealer of gasoline <br />sell <br />Sponsored by: Representative GILMAN; Representatives BENTZ, CAMERON, ESQUIVEL, FREEMAN, <br />GARRARD, HANNA, HUFFMAN, KENNEMER, KRIEGER, MAURER, OLSON, <br />RICHARDSON, SPRENGER, THATCHER, THOMPSON, WEIDNER, WHISNANT, <br />WINGARD, Senator WALKER <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb2500.dir/hb2559.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />10 <br /> <br />
