<br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT D <br />IGR BILL REPORT <br />FEBRUARY 16, 2011 / IGR COMMITTEE MEETING <br />CITY OF EUGENE <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2659 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to violations. <br /> <br />Title: Authorizes district attorney or city attorney to allow private party or, under certain <br />circumstances, private party’s attorney to prosecute certain traffic violations. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Introduced and printed pursuant to House Rule 12.00. Presession filed (at the request of <br />House Interim Committee on Judiciary) <br /> <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2600.dir/hb2659.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 1/21/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: To me, it's not good policy to authorize a private party or a private party's attorney to <br />prosecute a violation, even if it's only when the city attorney or DA approves it. I could <br />be convinced otherwise if the City Prosecutor or Muni Court thinks it's a good idea. Since <br />it would happen only rarely and only when a city official approves, I don't think this <br />merits much attention. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jeff Perry CS-MUNI 2/7/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: The City rarely sees a request for an individual to prosecute a violation that they witness <br />so the impact would the bill is likely minimal. However, the cases are a tremendous <br />amount of work to process for the City Prosecutor and the court. A person must swear out <br />a citation in front of a judge and then the court must direct EPD staff to serve the citation <br />- a potentially time intensive process. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2711 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to courts. <br /> <br />Title: Creates Joint Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Introduced and printed pursuant to House Rule 12.00.
