HB 2863 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to public accommodations. <br /> <br />Title: Expands definition of “place of public accommodation” to include places owned or <br />maintained by public body and services provided by public body. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representatives KOTEK, FREDERICK, Senator MORSE (at the request of Oregon <br />Council on Civil Rights, Oregon Advocacy Commissions and Commissioner of the <br />Bureau of Labor and Industries Brad Avakian) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2800.dir/hb2863.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 1/28/2011 -- Monitor <br /> <br />Comments: Bill would expand (?) statute prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations to <br />include places that are open to the public and owned or maintained by a public body. I <br />don’t think that’s a change in the law and don’t see any reason to oppose it. However, the <br />broad relating clause suggests we should monitor it. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2917 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to urban growth boundaries. <br /> <br />Title: Allows local government required to have urban growth boundary to establish process by <br />which local government self-certifies amendments to urban growth boundary for <br />compliance with applicable requirements of statewide land use planning goals, statutes <br />and rules. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative WHISNANT <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2900.dir/hb2917.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Steve Nystrom PDD-ADM 1/25/2011 Pri 2 Support <br /> <br />Comments: Would allow cities to establish a self-certification process regarding amendments to its <br />UGB. All other state requirements regarding the provision of a 20 year supply of land <br />would remain in place. Bill is focused on the adoption process and appears to only apply <br />when cities are in periodic review. <br /> <br />While it's questionable how realistic passage of this bill is, it provides a greater level of <br />control to local jurisdictions in determining compliance with state statutes. Cities are not <br />required to adopt a self-certification process. Given the added flexibility provided in this <br />bill, staff recommends support. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />17 <br /> <br /> <br />
