<br />Comments: Agree with Jerry. Anecdotal evidence that vote-by-mail increases voter participation rates <br />and costs less to administer. <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 2/22/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: The primary purpose and effect of this bill are to repeal vote-by-mail. In light of the <br />positive effect vote-by-mail has had on voter participation, I suggest Oppose Priority 2. <br />If an in-depth analysis of the bill is needed, I can look at it in more detail. <br />HB 3508 <br />Relating Clause: <br />Relating to firearms. <br />Title: <br />Repeals provisions authorizing local governments to regulate certain activities related to <br />firearms. <br />Sponsored by: <br />By Representative SCHAUFLER; Representatives BARKER, KRIEGER <br />URL: <br />http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3500.dir/hb3508.intro.pdf <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Chuck Tilby EPD-ADM 2/25/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: This bill repeals local authority to regulate discharge of firearms, possession of firearms <br />in public places, and the prohibition of cities and counties from regulating possession and <br />sale of firearms. It appears that this effort is to put all regulation of activities involving <br />firearms to the State. Not limited to just local control issues, the CoE it would not be able <br />to prosecute those activities and cases sent to circuit court, therefore fines would go to the <br />state. <br />HB 3531 <br />Relating Clause: <br />Relating to affordable housing. <br />Title: <br />Repeals provision that prevents local governments from imposing conditions on approved <br />permits that effectively establish sales price for residential development or limit purchase <br />to class or group of purchasers. <br />Sponsored by: <br />By Representative J SMITH (at the request of The Coalition for Affordable and Safe <br />Housing) <br />URL: <br />http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3500.dir/hb3531.intro.pdf <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Amanda Nobel Flannery S.
