ATTACHMENT A <br />IGR BILL REPORT <br />MARCH 16, 2011 / IGR COMMITTEE MEETING <br />CITY OF EUGENE <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2319 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to compensability disputes in workers’ compensation claims. <br /> <br />Title: Establishes process for random external file review in certain workers’ compensation claims. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative BARNHART; Senator BATES (Presession filed.) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2300.dir/hb2319.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jamie Iboa CS-RS 3/1/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: This bill would limit the Workers' Compensation Program to only one independent medical <br />examination (IME) per claim. At times it is necessary to obtain IMEs to determine whether a <br />claim is compensable, whether newly diagnosed conditions are compensable, and to assist with <br />the treatment of complicated medical conditions. If passed, this bill would limit the Program's <br />ability to seek independent unbiased medical opinions and could potentially increase the cost of <br />claims significantly due to non-compensable claims being accepted and/or unnecessary treatment <br />being rendered. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2458 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to judicial review for violations of the Public Contracting Code. <br /> <br />Title: Permits employee of contracting agency that allegedly violates provisions of Public Contracting <br />Code or labor organization that is certified as exclusive representative of employee’s bargaining <br />unit to seek judicial review of alleged violation under certain conditions. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Introduced and printed pursuant to House Rule 12.00. Presession filed (at the request of House <br />Interim Committee on Rules) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2400.dir/hb2458.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jamie Garner CS-FIN 1/18/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Oppose, would allow employees and bargaining units to seek review of violations of those <br />portions of ORS added by HB 2867. HB 2867 requires agencies to perform a cost analysis for <br />services over $250K that compares performing services in-house with outsourcing. Currently <br />bargaining units cannot protest this process. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Susan Mullett CS-HR 3/1/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br />1 | Page <br />March 16, 2011 IGR Committee Meeting <br />
