To be clear, we are not asking for delaying the implementation or changing the structural design of the tax, but to enact clarifying amendments proposed during the 2020 session. While our organizations approached the enabling legislation differently, we are aligned in our commitment to working alongside the executive and legislative branches to ensure the C.A.T. functions as intended by the legislature. Through the development of the rules and regulations, however, it has become clear there are significant statutory ambiguities regarding the statutory subtraction, filing groups, and filing period. These provisions are inherently technical but represent the underpinnings required for every taxpayer to calculate the tax, and, thus, pose significant administrative and compliance obstacles without clarification. During the 2020 session, we worked closely with a technical working group to identify and recommend corrective measures to simplify the administrative and compliance burdens. Together with the Oregon Department of Revenue (“Department”) and Legislative Revenue Office, we agreed to a series of statutory corrections designed to resolve the known ambiguities.

In addition to the standard policy and budget committees, the Oregon House of Representatives will have new committees in the upcoming session to address timely issues, including wildfire recovery, redistricting, institutional reform of the Legislature, as well as subcommittees focusing on COVID-19 response, equitable policing and the return of a policy committee dedicated to early childhood issues. “Oregonians are facing crises that demand urgent action. The House is ready to lead on the issues that matter most in people’s lives right now. We also need to create the space to have a focused conversation about long-term, transformational changes to modernize the people’s legislature,” Speaker Kotek said. “I’m grateful for the diverse perspectives that my colleagues will bring as we all work together to help Oregonians navigate the big challenges that lie ahead.” Speaker Kotek communicated directly with every returning and new member of the Oregon House of Representatives before deciding on committee assignments, taking the time to weigh and discuss their priorities, interests and notable experience. She also consulted with both caucus leaders before finalizing the assignments. The House will convene on Monday, January 11 to swear in members.

  • Legislative Update

    Legislative Update

    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Prepared for OAFP April 4, 2021 HB 2510 – Safe Gun Storage The House Health Committee passed this bill on party lines. It would require gun owners to lock their firearms, and make them liable for injuries caused by a firearm stored unsecurely. Rep. Cedric Hayden (R-Roseburg) told a story about his rural constituents responsibly using firearms in their own defense, saying, “I’m very concerned about my rural constituents’ ability to protect their own.” Rep. Christine Drazan (R-Canby) said she was against the bill and had concerns about working this type of legislation remotely. She said her office received over 7000 emails on gun legislation before the Legislature, including this bill, largely opposing it. Committee Chair Rachel Prusak (D-Tualatin) responded that her office also received lots of public input on this bill, largely in favor. The bill now goes to the House floor. SB 772 – Naturopath Pay Parity The Senate Health Committee held a public hearing on this bill, which would require individual and group insurance policies to pay naturopaths the same as other providers, using the same methodology. Dr. Jeff Clark, Oregon Association of Naturopathic Physicians, told the Committee that health insurers refuse to negotiate with naturopathic doctors on rates. He said Healthnet “shamelessly” pays naturopaths 20%, Moda 40%, and BlueCross BlueShield 60% of what they pay other providers. Dr. Clark clarified that SB 722 does not lock in a fee-for-service model, and an amendment is being drafted to remove the emergency clause in order to give insurers more time to implement the new pay structure if passed.

It was cited that agriculture accounts for 70% of the earth’s freshwater, 38% of total land use, 19% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Shockingly, half of the crops produced were directed to the raising of livestock (UNEP report, 2010).

    Today We Are Unified in Calling on Residents and Visitors to Our

    Today we are unified in calling on residents and visitors to our respective communities to refrain from violence in the exercise of our First Amendment rights to free speech and to peaceably assemble. Black Lives Matter. Violence has no place in civic engagement and protest. Throughout 2020, and in too many years prior, we have born witness to instances of racial injustice, police brutality and the rise of white supremacist rhetoric throughout our country, and right here at home. Even now we are experiencing unhelpful and inflammatory comments and acts, from many quarters, including the highest office in the land. The overwhelming majority of our community who have risen to protest for social justice and against racial inequities have done so peacefully, in keeping with public health guidelines and within the bounds protected by our state and federal constitutions. Unfortunately, there are some individuals who have chosen violence over peaceful protest, violence towards other protestors, violence towards police officers and even an instance of deadly violence experienced recently in downtown Portland. While we recognize the outrage toward racial injustice is the foundation for the past 100+ days of protest, we call on everyone in our community seeking to confront racial injustice and to demand police accountability to forgo the path of violence. We invite every member of our respective communities to continue to engage with our governments, to hold us accountable and to contribute to and facilitate a transformation away from racist systems and towards a more equitable, just community. Similarly, we ask those who may want to demonstrate to do so peacefully and safely.
