Comments: This bill is intended to make purchasing law more consistent with domestic partnership <br />laws by prohibiting contracting agencies from contracting with contractors who <br />discriminate against employees in domestic partnerships by withholding benefits from <br />employees' domestic partners that are offered to other employees' spouses. <br />HB 3129 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program. <br />Title:Modifies provisions relating to release of information from Oregon Medical Marijuana <br />Program to Oregon Health Authority and law enforcement. <br />Sponsored by: By Representative OLSON; Representatives BARKER, FREEMAN, JOHNSON, <br />KRIEGER, SCHAUFLER, SPRENGER, THOMPSON, WHISNANT, WINGARD, <br />Senators KRUSE, MORSE <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3100.dir/hb3129.intro.pdf <br /> Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Contact <br />Chuck Tilby EPD-ADM 2/17/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: This law is a step in the right direction of untangling a web of information that requires <br />us to ask "just the right" question of the authority, especially as it relates to grow sites. It <br />would be better if we have language that prohibits the authority from disclosing the <br />existence of a law enforcement request or subpoena. The impact of this law on CoE is to <br />provide a mechanism to obtain the correct information regarding grow sites, thus being <br />better able to triage cases. A majority of tips received from citizens are regarding <br />marijuana growers that appear to be going beyond the law. This bill potentially saves <br />many hours of background work. At the least, it would help identify growers that are out <br />of compliance on a large scale, focusing our efforts on the most egregious offenders. <br />HB 3152 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to hate crimes; declaring an emergency. <br />Title:Renames crime of intimidation as hate crime. <br />Sponsored by: By Representative BARKER (at the request of Department of Justice) <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3100.dir/hb3152.intro.pdf <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Chuck Tilby EPD-ADM 2/17/2011 Pri 2 Support <br /> <br />Comments: It is largely symbolic to change "intimidation" to "hate crime." This is common labeling <br />throughout the country, so is probably a good thing. Additionally, this bill adds a section <br />to "hate crime" in the first degree to apply to a single individual, which the current <br />"intimidation" in the first degree does not. Good move.
