The decision to purchase technology that will provide that information in a PBX environment is currently voluntary and does have an associated cost. In this community we have worked with school districts, the University, and businesses to advocate for voluntary investment in the technology. We have had success in some key arenas (e.g. the schools and some financial institutions). The Portland metro area has had a different experience and the impact has been significant. Although this technology is important for public safety, in the current fiscal environment, it will also be an unfunded mandate for businesses. Locally, we should continue to work for voluntary compliance until the technology can be implemented in all multi-line phone systems.

The bill also corrects conflicts in dated language in ORS concerning water supply for fire fighting purposes that is in direct conflict with the state adopted fire code requirements. 4
