Comments: As written, the bill isn't anything that the City needs to be concerned about but I don't <br />want to drop it in case other definitions of "attending physician" are added. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2785 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to constitutional competency examinations. <br /> <br />Title: Requires elected State of Oregon officials at local, state and federal levels, or public <br />employees who must swear or affirm to support United States Constitution or Oregon <br />Constitution as condition of office or employment, to take examination on constitutional <br />principles where results of examination would be made accessible to public. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative THATCHER <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2700.dir/hb2785.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Beth Forrest CS-CMO 01/21/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Unfunded mandate. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 01/21/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: This bill prescribes in great detail the contents of an exam on state and federal <br />constitutional law that would be given to every elected official or public employee whose <br />position requires swearing/affirming to support the constitutions. Besides being an <br />unfunded mandate, the bill has numerous built-in biases concerning the contents of the <br />exam. Requiring officials to study for such an exam will deter some folks from pursuing <br />office, and the impact will fall more heavily on folks who are poor, less educated and/or <br />less experienced at taking these kinds of tests. Although we can all agree that public <br />officials should know something about our constitutions, this is not a good way to go <br />about it. If this bill has legs, we should consider Priority 2 Oppose. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2790 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to firearms. <br /> <br />Title: Grants rights given to concealed handfun licensee to any person who may lawfully <br />purchase and possess firearm. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative THATCHER <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2700.dir/hb2790.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Chuck Tilby EPD-ADM 01/24/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />33 <br /> <br /> <br />
