Governor Kate Brown Office of the Governor 900 Court Street, Suite 254 Salem, OR 97301-4047
Governor Kate Brown Office of the Governor 900 Court Street, Suite 254 Salem, OR 97301-4047 Patrick Allen, Director of the Oregon Health Authority Oregon Health Authority 500 Summer Street, NE, E-20 Salem, OR 97301-1097 Dear Governor Kate Brown and the Oregon Health Authority Director, Patrick Allen: We write to request that you take appropriate action to close all abortion facilities during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. On March 19, all elective non-urgent health care procedures were ordered to be postponed in order to conserve hospital beds and personal protective equipment (PPE).1 As of March 29, Oregon is still facing a shortage of PPE despite the thousands of donations received by the state Emergency Coordination Center (EEC).2 Many healthcare organizations and facilities in Oregon obeyed Executive Order No. 20- 12, halting all elective and non-urgent procedures and giving over their PPE. Abortion facilities, however, did not. According to Executive Order (EO) No. 20-12, OHA, subject to the Governor, has the authority to determine if additional business closures are necessary to slow the spread of COVID-19.3 We ask that you close all abortion facilities in Oregon during the COVID-19 crisis for the following reasons: 1. An abortion procedure is an elective procedure. 2. Abortion facilities should be covered under EO 20-12 per the guidance for elective and non-urgent health care procedures because an abortion procedure requires the use of PPE.4 1 https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/executive_orders/eo_20-12.pdf, https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/executive_orders/eo_20-10.pdf 2 https://www.oregon.gov/newsroom/Pages/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=36283 3 https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/executive_orders/eo_20-12.pdf 4 https://sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Served/le2284.pdf Governor Kate Brown OHA Director, Patrick Allen March 30, 2020 Page 2 of 4 3. -

Legislative Update
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Prepared for OAFP February 14, 2021 HB 3108 – Increased Access to Primary Care Rep. Rachel Prusak (D-Tualatin) led a work group during the interim to address access barriers like income, insurance, geographical distance and race and ethnicity. “Research consistently demonstrates that access to primary care reduces disparities in health outcomes, improves health system efficiency, and reduces health system costs.” Oregon also ranks as the second worst state in the nation for access to behavioral health services, says Prusak, and she is confident that some of the policies in HB 3108 can help change that. The bill requires insurers to cover three primary care visits with no cost-sharing to the patient and to assign members to a primary care provider if they do not choose for themselves. The bill also requires insurers to cover physical and behavioral health visits conducted on the same day, and to charge just one copay the visits. Insurers testified in support of the bill, championing in particular the assignment component of the bill, “it is essential for us to move forward with value-based payment. In order for providers to take on risk, and in order for payers to assign that risk and effectively measure quality and patient outcomes, we need to tie people to a primary care provider” Providence’s Jessica Adamson told the Committee. Providence is also supportive of allowing patients to change their provider at any time. Rep Christine Drazan (R-Canby) asked Adamson whether the mandates in the bill would impact cost negatively. Adamson responded that while there are some specialty services that occur in the primary care setting, there aren’t a lot of “upper end” psychiatric services provided there. -

BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of Texas Abortion
PRESS RELEASE OREGON HOUSE DEMOCRATS For Immediate Release For more information, Contact: Sep. 2, 2021 Hannah Kurowski: [email protected] CORRECTION: BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of SB 8, Calls for Protection of Abortion as Essential Health Care CORRECTION The following members of the BIPOC Caucus sign onto this statement: • Senators: Lew Frederick, Kayse Jama, James Manning • Representatives: Teresa Alonso Leon, Wlnsvey Campos, Andrea Valderrama, Mark Meek, Khanh Pham, Ricki Ruiz, Andrea Salinas, Tawna Sanchez SALEM, OR -- The Legislative Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Caucus released the following statement after the Texas Governor signed into law Senate Bill 8 (SB 8) to ban abortions after six weeks, as well as encourages private citizens to act as bounty hunters: “Roe vs Wade enshrined reproductive health care as a constitutionally protected right. In Oregon, we have a long history of protecting reproductive rights and removing barriers to accessing abortion because we know abortion is healthcare. "If SB 8 remains in effect without intervention from courts, any abortion providers who remain operational are facing a crushing wave of lawsuits that they will likely be unable to litigate. This back-door ban presents harm to people facing severe restrictions on important health care protections. "BIPOC communities are most often forced to resort to unsafe abortions due to reproductive healthcare restrictions, a symptom of institutionalized white supremacy and patriarchy. SB 8 once again disproportionately takes away our constitutional right to make decisions about our own bodies as a worst case scenario, and forces those with the resources to travel across state lines for healthcare access as a best case scenario. -
House Speaker Tina Kotek Announces Committees Urgent Issues Will Get Dedicated Attention in New Committees
OFFICE OF THE HOUSE SPEAKER 900 Court St., N.E., Room H-269 Salem OR 97301 http://www.oregonlegislature.gov/kotek NEWS RELEASE December 31, 2020 Danny Moran, 503-986-1204 [email protected] House Speaker Tina Kotek Announces Committees Urgent issues will get dedicated attention in new committees SALEM – Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek on Thursday announced House committees for the 2021 Legislative Session. 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. -
Voters' Pamphlet Primary Election 2020 for Lane County
Voters’ Pamphlet Oregon Primary Election May 19, 2020 Certificate of Correctness I, Bev Clarno, Secretary of State of the State of Oregon, do hereby certify that this guide has been correctly prepared in accordance with the law in order to assist electors in voting at the Primary Election to be held throughout the State on May 19, 2020. Witness my hand and the Seal of the State of Oregon in Salem, Oregon, this 6th day of April, 2020. Bev Clarno Oregon Secretary of State Oregon votes by mail. Ballots will be mailed to registered voters beginning April 29. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION STEPHEN N. TROUT BEV CLARNO DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 SALEM, OREGON 97310 (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voter, The information this Voters’ Pamphlet provides is designed to assist you in participating in the May 19, 2020, Primary Election. Primary elections serve two main purposes. The first is for all voters to be able to cast ballots for candidates for nonpartisan offices like judges and some county and other local offices. The second is for the voters registered with a major political party to select their nominees for partisan office like US President. Those registered as not affiliated with a political party, or registered with a minor party (Constitution, Independent, Libertarian, Pacific Green, Progressive, Working Families) will receive a ballot that includes only nonpartisan offices. The US Supreme Court has ruled that political parties get to decide who votes in their primaries so unless you are registered as a Republican or Democrat you will not have candidates for President or any partisan office on your May Primary ballot. -
