<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Steve Nystrom PDD-ADM 1/11/2011 -- Neutral <br /> <br />Comments: Bill appears to be directed at appeals to LUBA by individuals not immediately impacted <br />by local land use decisions. While it is questionable whether the requirement of a deposit <br />by an appellant to cover the applicant's costs is good law, this Bill specifically exempts <br />local governments from this requirement. As such, there is no direct impact to the city. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2187 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to product stewardship; appropriating money; declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Requires Department of Environmental Quality to collaborate with certain parties to <br />develop and implement statewide product stewardship system. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Ordered printed by the Speaker pursuant to House Rule 12.00A (5). Presession filed (at <br />the request of House Interim Committee on Environment and Water) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2100.dir/hb2187.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Babe O’Sullivan CS-CMO 1/14/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: Cannon has reintroduced what was a DEQ sponsored bill from prior session. Didn't get <br />far last time but we should support this time if it gets traction. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Ethan Nelson PDD-BPS 1/11/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: This bill is the umbrella legislation for statewide product stewardship legislation. Most <br />recently, the state passed the electronics recycling and architectural paint stewardship <br />laws. Rather than address each product category through specific legislation, this bill <br />creates the framework for the DEQ to evaluate product types and categories on a biennial <br />basis. The key element of product stewardship laws are they require product producers to <br />handle end-of-life management rather than placing that financial burden onto the <br />consumer. One of the main objectives of product stewardship legislation is to incorporate <br />price signals into products in regards to the greenhouse gas footprint and the end of life <br />management costs into the price of the product. Ideally, this mechanism will drive <br />innovation in product design and efficiency in manufacturing to reduce the expense of <br />these internalized costs (which were once economic externalities). <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2192 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to broadband services. <br /> <br />Title: Allows use of universal service fund moneys for determining availability of broadband <br />services within state. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br /> <br />
