Ms. Wilson joined the meeting from Salem via Skype. She emphasized the fact the session was very short and the City had limited time to provide input to the State Legislature. Because the session was so short, she recommended the committee postpone election of a new chair. 2.

Bills are underlined where a councilor moved to change the staff’s recommendation and no second was made. House Bill 4020 (pulled by Poling) Mr. Poling, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the City’s position on House Bill 4020 from Support to Monitor. The motion passed unanimously, 2:0. House Bill 4040 (pulled by Poling)—No change Senate Bill 4011 (pulled by Taylor)—No change Senate Bill 4017 (pulled by Taylor) – No change Ms. Taylor moved to change the City’s position on House Bill 4017 to Neutral. The motion died for lack of a second.

Title: Requires person convicted of driving while under influence of intoxicants to submit proof that person completed required treatment program before reinstatement of driving privileges. Authorizes Department of Transportation to provide exceptions for good cause. Sunsets January 2, 2014. Declares emergency, effective on passage. Sponsored by: Introduced and printed pursuant to House Rule 12.00.

This plugs a loophole in the system that did not compel someone to adequately report their treatment. Without them submitting proof, there is no legal way to determine compliance with a court order for treatment. HB 4017 Relating Clause: Relating to ignition interlock devices; creating new provisions; and amending ORS 813.602. Title: Requires certain persons to install ignition interlock device for five years after person’s driving privileges are restored following suspension or revocation of driving privileges.

This the latest iteration of attempts to prevent repetitive DUII behavior as condition of being convicted of serious drunk driving related crimes. Other attempts have met with resistance because of the impact on relatives of the convicted person. This appears to have a reasonable impact on them while sanctioning the convict and preventing them from driving a vehicle without such a device. Very important for the overall safety of the public. HB 4020 Relating Clause: Relating to lottery bonds; amending section 20, chapter 624. Oregon Laws 2011; and declaring an emergency. Title: Increases amount of lottery bonds issued to finance grants and loans for transportation projects for biennium beginning July 1, 2011. Declares emergency, effective on passage.

Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Rob Inerfeld PWE 1/26/2012 Pri 2 Support Comments: This bill would increase the funding for Connect Oregon in the current biennium from $40 million to $50 million. The city has applied for a $500,000 Connect Oregon grant to repave the South Ramp at the Eugene Airport; if this bill passes it could increase the city’s change of receiving the grant. HB 4040 Relating Clause: Relating to investment for economic development; creating new provisions; amending ORS 192.502, 284.701, 284.706, 293.731, 293.733, 293.761 and 293.796; repealing ORS 348.701, 348.702, 348.703, 348.704, 348.706, 348.707 and 348.710 and section 7, chapter 805, Oregon Laws 2009; appropriating money; and declaring an emergency. Title: Establishes Oregon Growth Fund and Oregon Growth Board to encourage investment in and availability of capital to Oregon businesses and to further economic development in Oregon. Abolishes Oregon Growth Account and Oregon Growth Account Board on June 30, 2013. Declares emergency, effective on passage. 2 | Page February 1, 2012 IGR Committee Meeting Sponsored by: Sponsored by Representatives READ, BERGER, Senators DEVLIN, TELFER; Representatives BARNHART, BENTZ, BREWER, BUCKLEY, CONGER, DEMBROW, DOHERTY, FREDERICK, GELSER, HARKER, HOLVEY, HOYLE, HUFFMAN, HUNT, KENNEMER, KENY-GUYER, KOMP, KOTEK, MATTHEWS, NATHANSON, ROBLAN, J SMITH, WEIDNER, WHISNANT, WITT, Senators BATES, BEYER, HASS, JOHNSON, MORSE, NELSON, PROZANSKI, ROSENBAUM, STEINER HAYWARD (Presession filed.)

Nobel-Flannery Denny Braud PDD-ADM 1/26/2012 Pri 3 Support Comments: A newly established state-wide Oregon Growth Fund would create additional loan, grant and equity investment resources for business formation and expansion. This fund could provide access to financing for local companies, and help advance the Regional Prosperity Economic Development Plan. The City of Eugene would not have any financial participation in the Growth Fund. HB 4084 Relating Clause: Relating to vulnerable persons; creating new provisions; amending ORS 124.085, 124.090, 131.125, 137.225, 163.165, 181.534, 181.537, 411.990, 441.671 and 443.004; and declaring an emergency. Title: Creates crime of assault in third degree for intentionally or knowingly causing physical injury to elderly person. Punishes by maximum of five years' imprisonment, $125,000 fine, or both. Provides that prosecution of certain felonies committed against person 65 years of age or older may be commenced within six years. Prohibits entry of order setting aside conviction for criminal mistreatment in first or second degree when victim was person 65 years of age or older. Requires health care provider to permit inspection and copying of protected health information of person who is alleged victim in abuse investigation. Requires financial institution, upon receipt of certification, to disclose and provide copies of financial records of person who is alleged victim in abuse investigation. Permits Department of Human Services to make names of witnesses and vulnerable persons, and records and reports compiled in abuse investigations, available to certain entities. Creates Resident Safety Review Council. Sunsets council on June 30, 2013.

Clarifies that person whose employment cannot be supported by public funds is not entitled to determination of fitness or right of appeal of determination of unfitness. Directs Department of Human Services to establish statewide call system for reporting abuse of elderly person. Requires Department of Human Services to develop and implement training for persons investigating abuse and providing care to persons 65 years of age or older. Directs Department of Human Services to apply for federal grant under Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Recreates Oregon Elder Abuse Work Group. Sunsets work group on June 30, 2013.

All too often, the people are victimized by those that are charged with their care and perpetrators hide behind that relationship, and care providers/banks are stuck behind confidentiality regulations where the perpetrator is in control based upon legal authority transferred to them. Elder abuse is a significant issue in our community and these tools will help protect this vulnerable population. HB 4085 Relating Clause: Relating to vulnerable persons; creating new provisions; amending ORS 124.085, 124.090, 131.125, 137.225, 163.165, 181.534, 181.537, 411.990, 441.671 and 443.004; and declaring an emergency.

HB 4100 Relating Clause: Relating to crimes committed against minors; creating new provisions; amending ORS 131.125 and 411.990; and declaring an emergency.

Anything that lengthens the statute of limitations is a good move, but especially when discovery of the crime is often based upon recollections that are realized later in life. HB 4108 Relating Clause: Relating to precious material secondhand dealing. Title: Establishes precious material secondhand dealer record keeping requirements regarding transactions involving items of precious material. Requires seven-day holding period for items of precious material acquired by precious material secondhand dealers. Provides that Act does not apply in cities and counties with more stringent regulation of precious material secondhand dealers. Establishes penalties for failure to comply with record keeping and holding period requirements.

Requires seven-day holding period for items of precious material acquired by precious material secondhand dealers. Although, this bill is limited in the items that it regulates and doesn’t address the need for a uniform repository of the data collected or an automated reporting system that would allow law enforcement the ability to easily access transaction data, this bill is a great start that will assist law enforcement in their quest to locate and recover stolen property and identify individuals involved in the theft and sale of stolen property. HB 4148 Relating Clause: Relating to studded tires. Title: Imposes fee on retail sale of studded tires and on installation of studs in tires. Provides exception. Becomes operative May 1, 2013.

I would recommend a higher priority, but this is a perennial push that never seems to gain enough traction to become law. Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Rob Inerfeld PWE 1/26/2012 Pri 3 Support Comments: I agree with Eric Jones’ comments. HB 4156 Relating Clause: Relating to protective orders for victims of sexual assault; creating new provisions; amending ORS 21.245, 36.185, 40.210, 107.835, 133.310 and 133.381; and declaring an emergency.

Good improvement of law in favor of immediate protection of victims. Especially critical in these cases involving power differential in relationships. HCR 0204 Relating Clause: Commemorates victory by University of Oregon’s football program in 2012 Rose Bowl. Title: Commemorates victory by University of Oregon’s football program in 2012 Rose Bowl.

While it does not have a direct impact on the city – I think it is in line with the recent Council resolution and shows our support to an important community partner. I can draft a letter and provide it to the committee. SB 1534 Relating Clause: Relating to the solicitation of criminal activity; creating new provisions; amending ORS 131.125, 131.215, 131.315, 131.558, 131.602, 131A.005, 131A.020, 135.737, 137.712, 147.433, 161.475, 161.485, 167.164, 419A.260, 419B.340, 419B.502, 421.121 and 443.004; and prescribing an effective date.

This is a recognition that such a communication, when specific, is a substantial step toward the commission of a crime, therefore, there is a legal "attempt" at the very least. This requires a "specific time and at a specific location." While this is ok, I think it loses some impact by requiring both time and location. Would be better if it said something like, '...specific time and/or location...' Electronic recruitment is common in youthful or gang related crimes and this is an important improvement of the law. SB 1535 Relating Clause: Relating to use of master form instruments; creating new provisions; amending ORS 93.780, 93.790, 93.800 and 93.802; and declaring an emergency.

SB 1553 Relating Clause: Relating to procedure for adoption of administrative rules; and declaring an emergency.

This bill would prohibit the OLCC from amending their administrative rule to allow cities with populations under 300,000 from establishing an Alcohol Impact Area. That was a priority bill for us last session and when the bill did not 8 | Page February 1, 2012 IGR Committee Meeting pass, I made a deal with the OLCC to do this through administrative rulemaking. Additionally, we often rely on the rulemaking process to clarify legislation and can have a bigger impact on process as well as policy. SB 1557 Relating Clause: Relating to unlawful consumption of controlled substances; and declaring an emergency. Title: Makes consumption of controlled substance by person under 21 years of age unlawful. Punishes by maximum fine of $1,000 or $2,000 if violation committed while operating motor vehicle.

This is especially useful when dealing with minors who have consumed drugs, but are not currently in possession. It is not the prosecution that is important, but the intervention. SB 1559 Relating Clause: Relating to 9-1-1 emergency communications; creating new provisions; amending ORS 403.105 and 403.135; and declaring an emergency.

Wilde EPD-911 1/27/2012 Pri 2 Support Comments: This bill essentially mandates that multiline telephone systems (MLTS) installed at least 12 months after the effective date of passage shall provide specific automatic location identification to the 9-1-1 Center of jurisdiction. This includes sufficient identifying information to assist in locating the caller, including a call back number. Exceptions are made for particular circumstances (eg size of building). This type of identifying technology is strictly voluntary today. We have seen the importance of making this 9 | Page February 1, 2012 IGR Committee Meeting change when it comes to phone calls from schools within a school district and dorms at the UO. Other businesses choose not to make the change as there is additional cost involved. For those who currently do not comply, it is not unusual for a PBX system to display the same administrative office number and address in a different city for each of its branches (eg banks, mills). In an emergency event like a mill fire or bank robbery, it can be difficult for the 9-1-1 caller to recall their actual street address. SB 1571 Relating Clause: Relating to administrative rules; and declaring an emergency. Title: Prohibits agencies from adopting any rule that becomes effective on or after effective date of Act and before July 1, 2013. Specifies exceptions. Creates Joint Legislative Committee on Rule Review. Directs committee to review all rules adopted by agencies. Requires report on rules reviewed. Allows committee to introduce legislation addressing subject matter of rules reviewed by committee.
