I’m not sure if this is a lesser included charge of the one being considered above or if it’s being designed to stand alone for another reason. I think a law aiding law enforcement in protecting those adult victims of sex trafficking where there is a force, fraud or coercion component is important. It seems that our state charges of compelling prostitution and promoting prostitution are very similar. Again, I would just need more information.

While we certainly agree that it is in everyone’s best interests that capital construction projects receiving state-supplied funding proceed in a timely and efficient manner, and that these projects be effectively managed and efficiently coordinated, we disagree that this cannot be accomplished by municipalities at the local level. Our primary concerns with the bill as written: • This bill takes away Eugene’s ability to ensure the safety of its own citizens. Building safety regulation is a vital component of a municipality’s public health, safety, and welfare 8 | Page March 20, 2013 IGR Committee Meeting
