<br /> <br /> <br />Comments: Follow finance recommendation. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2493 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to residential service disruption. <br /> <br />Title: Prohibits cable television provider, competitive telecommunications provider, consumer-owned <br />utility, public utility or telecommunications utility from charging customer for repair related to <br />disruption of service when disruption was not caused by customer. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Introduced and printed pursuant to House Rule 12.00. Presession filed (at the request of House <br />Interim Committee on Consumer Protection and Government Accountability) <br /> <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2400.dir/hb2493.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Pam Berrian CS-ISD 3/7/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Oppose - New information has been provided since 1-31-11 indicating an adverse impact on <br />EWEB, and if allowed to set precedent would likely adversely impact Wastewater and <br />Stormwater programs. There could be situations where private property damage to utilities is not <br />caused by customer (disaster-related), but also not caused by the utility, yet this bill would <br />prohibit the utility from charging the private property owner for repair costs for work that the <br />property owner requested. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2642 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to alcoholic beverages; declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Expands exemption of homemade beer, wine and fermented fruit juice from Liquor Control Act. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative SCHAUFLER <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2600.dir/hb2642.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 1/20/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: This is similar to HB 2262, for which I recommended "drop," but this bill contains a broader <br />exemption, and it has some potential loopholes. The amounts of homemade brew it allows are <br />pretty substantial, and the definition of "financial consideration" would allow "club dues" not to <br />count as payment. HB 2262 is broad enough to allow amateur home-brewers to trade brews and <br />enter contests; this bill goes farther than needed for that purpose. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2 | Page <br />March 16, 2011 IGR Committee Meeting <br />
