Requires expedited <br />reconsideration of claim closure unless waived by worker. <br />Sponsored by: COMMITTEE ON BUSINESS AND LABOR <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb2700.dir/hb2706.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Jamie Iboa Jamie Iboa CS-HRRS 2/23/2009 Pri 3 No No Monitor <br />Comments: <br />This bill would make it easier to close claims when doctors don't respond to letters timely <br />or when workers fail to seek treatment. However, the expedited reconsideration and <br />appointment of a medical arbiter would increase claim costs. If the <br />reconsideration/arbiter language is dropped from the bill I would recommend we support <br />it. <br />HB 2709 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to collective bargaining. <br />Title: Repeals expedited bargaining process in collective bargaining between public employers <br />and employees. <br />Sponsored by: By COMMITTEE ON BUSINESS AND LABOR <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb2700.dir/hb2709.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Susan Mullett Susan Mullett CS-HRRS 2/24/2009 Pri 3 Oppose <br />Comments: <br />This could extend the bargaining times which would result in increased costs and loss of <br />goodwill with our unions. <br />HB 2713 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to public safety officers. <br />Title: Applies disciplinary action provisions to all public safety officers.
