The current statutory language outlining the what is considered to <br />be a rebuttal of the employers' presumption of acting in good faith is much more specific <br />and clearer. <br />SB 0708 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to employment by law enforcement agency. <br />Title: <br />Provides that if person applies for employment with law enforcement agency all former <br />and current employers of person, and all employers to which employee has made <br />application for employment, upon request must provide to law enforcement agency all <br />information available to employers relating to person. Limits use of information received <br />by law enforcement agency under Act. <br /> Allows employee to inspect information received by law enforcement agency under Act. <br />Sponsored by: Senator STARR (at the request of Dennis Griffiths) <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0700.dir/sb0708.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />E. Cushman S. Swenson EPD-ADM 3/20/2009 Pri 3 No No Oppose <br />Comments: <br />Although we support the ability of law enforcement agencies to obtain as much <br />information as possible to inform their decision as to whether or not to hire a person as a <br />police officer, we cannot support this bill as written because it contains too many <br />provisions that would create more problems than it would solve. <br />SB 0727 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to abusive work environments. <br />Title: Establishes unlawful employment practice of subjecting employee to abusive work <br />environment. Limits recovery of damages to private right of action. <br />Sponsored by: Senator BURDICK (at the request of Pam Beaty) <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0700.dir/sb0727.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Susan Mullett Susan Mullett CS-HRRS 3/23/2009 Pri 3 Oppose <br />Comments: <br />We do support the concept of the bill regarding unlawful employment practice regulations <br />regarding abusive work environment - however this bill would be very burdensome in <br />creating and implementing necessary City policies as written. <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Myrnie Daut Myrnie Daut CS-HRRS 3/24/2009 Pri 3 Oppose <br />Comments: <br />45 <br /> <br />
