Comments: This bill requires people convicted of DUII along with Homicide, Manslaughter and <br />assault to install and use an ignition interlock device for 5 years. <br /> <br />This the latest iteration of attempts to prevent repetitive DUII behavior as condition of <br />being convicted of serious drunk driving related crimes. Other attempts have met with <br />resistance because of the impact on relatives of the convicted person. This appears to <br />have a reasonable impact on them while sanctioning the convict and preventing them <br />from driving a vehicle without such a device. Very important for the overall safety of the <br />public. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 4020 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to lottery bonds; amending section 20, chapter 624.

The city has applied for a $500,000 Connect Oregon grant to <br />repave the South Ramp at the Eugene Airport; if this bill passes it could increase the <br />city’s change of receiving the grant. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 4040 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to investment for economic development; creating new provisions; amending <br />ORS 192.502, 284.701, 284.706, 293.731, 293.733, 293.761 and 293.796; repealing ORS <br />348.701, 348.702, 348.703, 348.704, 348.706, 348.707 and 348.710 and section 7, <br />chapter 805, Oregon Laws 2009; appropriating money; and declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Establishes Oregon Growth Fund and Oregon Growth Board to encourage investment in <br />and availability of capital to Oregon businesses and to further economic development in <br />Oregon.
