It also mandates that trained medical and nursing staff work on sexual assault cases and also develop internal protocols. This standardizes sexual assault forensic investigations around the state. This has little impact on CoE since Lane County officers and hospitals already process these cases at a level recommended by SATF, etc. SB 0657 Relating Clause: Relating to retainage on contract payments. Title: Reduces percentage of construction contract, home improvement contract or public improvement contract payment that may be held as retainage. Sponsored by: By COMMITTEE ON GENERAL GOVERNMENT, CONSUMER AND SMALL BUSINESS PROTECTION URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/sb0600.dir/sb0657.intro.pdf Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Mike Penwell CS-FAC 2/11/2011 Pri 2 Oppose Comments: This bill would reduce the retainage held on public improvement projects from 5% to 1%. This would have a negative impact on City projects as the retainage protects the City by keeping enough money set aside to bring in another contractor if the original contractor defaults, but not so much that it penalizes the contractor. The contractor is also protected financially as they are entitled to the interest earned on funds held in retainage. The existing 5% retainage system (with interest accruing to the contractor) has worked well for years. Why fix something that isn't broken?
