The committee reviews all bills and their associated <br />staff recommendations and provides direction for each piece of legislation introduced during the <br />legislative session. <br /> <br />Any member of the IGR Committee may pull a bill off the IGR Bill Report for discussion. If a bill is not <br />pulled for discussion, the staff recommendation stands. If a bill is pulled for discussion, the IGR <br />Committee may keep or change the staff recommendation. Actions on which the IGR committee is not <br />unanimous must be brought before the full City Council for consideration. These bills must be addressed <br />by the full council in order to provide direction to staff in Salem. <br /> <br />The IGR Committee met on March 16, 2011, to review staff recommendations on bills that have been <br />introduced in the state legislature. However, the IGR Committee vote on two bills was not unanimous. <br />Accordingly, the full council must provide direction before these bills can be lobbied in Salem. The bills <br /> <br />for which there were not unanimous votes are listed below.Staff comments for the bills are listed in the <br />attached document. I have also attached copies of the bills. <br /> <br />A motion needs to be made to state the position for each bill listed below. <br /> <br />MARCH 16, 2011: <br /> <br />SB 845: This bill would require the Oregon Department of Transportation to issue a drivers license <br />or drivers permit to applicants who have complied with all requirements for a license or a <br />permit but do not provide proof of legal presence in the United States. <br /> <br /> Staff Recommendation: Priority 1 Support (By Holly LeMasurier and Chuck Tilby) <br />\\Cesrv500\cc support\CMO\2011 Council Agendas\M110411\S1104115.doc <br /> <br />
