<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT A <br />IGR BILL REPORT <br />JANUARY 26, 2011 / IGR COMMITTEE MEETING <br />CITY OF EUGENE <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2035 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to the filing of civil actions for unlawful discrimination; declaring an <br />emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Standardizes time limitations for filing civil actions for unlawful discrimination. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Ordered printed by the Speaker pursuant to House Rule 12.00A (5). Presession filed (at <br />the request of Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries Brad Avakian) <br /> <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2000.dir/hb2035.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 1/17/2011 -- Neutral <br /> <br />Comments: Bill would standardize time frames for filing civil action for unlawful discrimination. <br />While it will have some effect on the City, it's not a core issue for us. I'd be okay with <br />"drop.". <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Susan Mullett CS-HR 1/13/2011 -- Neutral <br /> <br />Comments: Would recommend a 6 month time frame rather than the 12 month. The 90 days is too <br />short for responding to an unlawful act. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2037 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to remedies under civil rights laws. <br /> <br />Title: Requires Commissioner of Bureau of Labor and Industries to award costs and reasonable <br />attorney fees when complainant prevails for cease and desist order. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Ordered printed by the Speaker pursuant to House Rule 12.00A (5). Presession filed (at <br />the request of Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries Brad Avakian) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2000.dir/hb2037.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 1/17/2011 -- Neutral <br /> <br />Comments: Additional remedy for successful complainant (award of costs and attorney fees) would <br />support enforcement of nondiscrimination statutes, but on rare occasions it could cost the <br />City money. We don't need to take a position. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />
