Title:Provides that public notices required by law to be published by public body may be <br />published in newspaper, broadcast by radio or television station or posted on website <br />maintained by statewide association of stations or broadcasters. <br />Sponsored by: By Representatives GARRARD, HUFFMAN (at the request of Oregon Association of <br />Broadcasters) <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3100.dir/hb3184.intro.pdf <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 2/10/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: This bill would allow more flexibility in the ways the City (and others, including private <br />persons) could provide a required public notice. In addition to the traditional newspaper <br />publication, it would allow broadcast by radio or TV and would allow publication on a <br />state-wide website created by broadcasters. The website would result in a central location <br />to check for notices, greater efficiency and some cost savings. <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Beth Forrest CS-CMO 2/17/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: Maintains City’s flexibility to determine best way to give public notice, and provides a <br />centralized location for such notice. <br />HB 3186 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to operating a motor vehicle while using a mobile communication device. <br />Title:Removes exception for person operating motor vehicle in scope of person’s employment <br />from offense of operating motor vehicle while using mobile communication device. <br />Sponsored by: By Representative BERGER, Senator PROZANSKI; Representatives BEYER, BOONE, <br />BUCKLEY, CANNON, CONGER, COWAN, ESQUIVEL, KOMP, MATTHEWS, <br />PARRISH, THOMPSON, TOMEI, Senators BOQUIST, WINTERS <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3100.dir/hb3186.intro.pdf <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Eric Jones PW-ADM 2/10/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Identical to SB 407 <br />We're trying to protect the situation where a Public Works motor vehicle operator uses a <br />cell phone to communicate with dispatch or with an incident commander when the <br />emergency command center has been activated. It is unclear whether the existing law at <br />Section 1(3)(e) would allow this possibility (because the phrase "as a volunteer" at the <br />end of the clause might exclude a Public Works equipment operator). It's also not clear to <br />this reviewer what "one-way voice communication" would entail (and whether the <br />exemption at Section 1(3)(j)(C) would apply). <br />5 <br />
