ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />E Cushman K. McCormick EPD-ADM 3/17/2009 Pri 3 No No Support <br />Comments: <br />We support this bill, sponsored by Sen. Morrisette, which would regulate on-line <br />pharmacies. Although we are not aware that on-line pharmacies been a significant <br />problem here to date, nationally abuse of prescription drugs, particularly by young <br />people, is becoming an increasing problem. One source of these prescription drugs is to <br />order them over the Internet. This bill would put procedures in place to ensure that on- <br />line pharmacies are properly regulated and are only dispensing prescriptions to those <br />entitled to receive them based on legitimate prescriptions. <br />SB 0535 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to regulation of for-hire carriers. <br />Title: <br />Prohibits city or county from granting exclusive franchise to for-hire carrier of persons. <br />Prohibits city or county from limiting number of transportation providers or regulating <br />fares. <br />Allows certain government units to license taxicabs and other vehicles for hire. Prohibits <br />certain government units from regulating entry into business, fares or routes of taxicabs <br />and other vehicles for hire. Exempts for-hire carrier of persons providing transportation <br />services under contract with city or county from motor carrier regulations. <br />Sponsored by: COMMITTEE ON BUSINESS AND TRANSPORTATION <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0500.dir/sb0535.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Robert Tintle Robert Tintle PW-APT 3/13/2009 Pri 1 Oppose <br />Comments: <br />Oppose the bill. This bill will have negative impacts to the airport operations of the taxi <br />cab program. The changes would not allow us to control the number of cabs serving the <br />airport and the rates could vary cab by cab. This would provide the potential for major <br />complications at the terminal and with the customers. The airport needs to continue to be <br />able to inspect, monitor, and limit taxi cabs for compliance with mechanical, safety, and <br />security directives. By limiting cabs it allows for only authorized vehicles that are aware <br />of security standards. <br />SB 0546 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to motorcycles. <br />Title: <br />Directs Department of Transportation to include on driver license examination at least two <br />questions pertaining to practices necessary for safe operation of vehicle around <br />motorcyclists. <br /> Requires person of any age applying for first time for motorcycle endorsement to <br />complete motorcycle rider education course. <br /> Increases motorcycle endorsement fees. <br /> Allows person to enter into motorcycle improvement agreement if person is cited for <br />operating motorcycle without holding motorcycle endorsement. Allows dismissal of <br />charge upon successful completion of motorcycle rider education course. <br /> Directs Department of Transportation to phase in motorcycle rider education course <br />program for persons 21 years of age and older. <br />Sponsored by: Senator WALKER <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0500.dir/sb0546.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />E.
