Comments: This bill will have no impact on public works contracts. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2855 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to efficiencies in the provision of governmental services; declaring an <br />emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Creates State and Local Government Efficiency Task Force. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative NATHANSON; Representatives BARKER, BARNHART, <br />DEMBROW, DOHERTY, FREDERICK, HOYLE, J SMITH, Senator EDWARDS <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2800.dir/hb2855.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Beth Forrest CS-CMO 01/18/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: -- <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 01/21/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: An efficiency task force probably can't hurt much, and it may help.

Maybe that's an indication of the <br />relative efficiency of the various governments! <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2911 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to procurements from qualified nonprofit agencies for individuals with <br />disabilities. <br /> <br />Title: Makes optional current requirement for public agencies to procure certain products or <br />services from qualified nonprofit agency for individuals with disabilities. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative WITT (at the request of Oregon School Employees Association) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2900.dir/hb2911.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jamie Garner CS-FIN 01/19/2011 -- Neutral <br /> <br />Comments: Proposes changing the requirements from mandatory to permissive for products and <br />services produced by certified QRF firms. Within the City there would be proponents for <br />both sides of this argument as many people dislike the requirement to purchase from an <br />organization without being able to negotiate pricing, or take that into account in the <br />36 <br /> <br /> <br />
