<br />Comments: Most states are updating their drug statutes to incorporate synthetic drugs that mimic or <br />supplant existing drugs. Oregon should not be the exception. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2714 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to crime. <br /> <br />Title: Modifies crime of prostitution. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative TOMEI; Representatives BAILEY, BARKER, DOHERTY, <br />FREDERICK, GELSER, HARKER, MATTHEWS <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2700.dir/hb2714.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Chuck Tilby EPD-ADM 01/24/2011 Pri 2 Support <br /> <br />Comments: This bill creates a misdemeanor crime of "patronizing a prostitute" which is a good <br />clarification of actions that were already a crime. Additionally, it sets a very high fine for <br />patronizing a "minor" (under 18 years old) prostitute and establishes that the state does <br />not have to prove that the defendant knew the prostitute was a minor. This has been a <br />stumbling block in prosecuting cases involving trafficking of minors because the pimps <br />market the prostitutes in such a way as to mask their real age and all they have to do in <br />trial is assert that they didn't know and prosecution is stymied. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2726 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to the Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act; declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Modifies definition of “smoke shop” for purposes of Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act and <br />directs Oregon Health Authority to establish registration system for smoke shops. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative TOMEI, Senator MONNES ANDERSON; Representatives <br />DOHERTY, FREDERICK, HARKER, READ <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2700.dir/hb2726.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 01/21/2011 Pri 2 Support <br /> <br />Comments: I agree with Rachelle’s comments. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Rachelle Nicholas PDD-BPS 01/18/2011 Pri 2 Support <br /> <br />Comments: Currently the City's local smoking code is more restrictive than the State's Oregon Indoor <br />Clean Air Act. The amendments proposed would support the intent of local code; <br />31 <br /> <br /> <br />
