The primary impact of the bill <br />will be to limit the ability for certain persons convicted of more than one felony to <br />petition for relief from the provision that they not possess firearms. We do not believe <br />that persons who have been convicted of multiple felonies should be able to possess <br />firearms because of the potential threat those persons present to members of the <br />community and to officers. The bill also adds wording to clarify that certain firearms <br />restrictions apply to mentally ill persons who have been committed to the Department of <br />Human Services as well as to the Oregon Health Authority (although persons in this <br />category are allowed to petition for relief from those restrictions). <br />LC 109 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to electricity from low-impact hydroelectric facilities that may be used <br />to comply with renewable portfolio standards; creating new provisions; and <br />amending ORS 469A.020 and 469A.025. <br />Title: Modifies provisions related to qualifying electricity for purposes of compliance <br />with renewable portfolio standard. <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Policy Policy No Recommendation <br />Kevin Finney 01/27/2010 Monitor <br /> CS-CMO <br />1 | Page <br />
