Sponsored by: Introduced and printed pursuant to House Rule 12.00. Presession filed (at the request of <br />House Interim Committee on Revenue) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2500.dir/hb2568.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Larry Hill CS-FIN 1/25/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: HB 2568 would decrease the interest charged on delinquent taxes or penalties from the <br />current one and one-third % per month to an as-yet-determined amount. A reduction in <br />the penalty could encourage more tax delinquencies and reduce current tax revenue. This <br />could be exacerbated as the economy recovers to the point that other investment options <br />offer net benefits in comparison to the cost of the penalty on the delinquent tax amount. <br />A significantly lower interest penalty could encouraging "gaming" of the tax system by <br />some taxpayers. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2601 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating smoking. <br /> <br />Title: Modifies definition of “smoke shop” for purposes of Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act to <br />include businesses that are attached to other businesses or residential property. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative SCHAUFLER (Presession filed.) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2600.dir/hb2601.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 1/27/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: I agree with Rachelle's comments. The first part of this bill, amending the definition of <br />"smoke shop," is similar to HB 2350, but it expands the exemption even more. And the <br />second part, which would allow smoking in certain private clubs that have OLCC liquor <br />licenses, is a big loophole that would conflict with our code. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Rachelle Nicholas PDD-BPS 1/18/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: The amendments proposed do not support local code. Passage would allow indoor <br />smoking in "private clubs" and remove the State requirement that the business be a stand- <br />alone which may impact other business owners. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2602 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to unsafe operation of a bicycle. <br /> <br />Title: Creates offense of unsafe operation of bicycle. <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br /> <br />
