Currently, there are different limits for the state and local governments: state single claimant - $2,307,500, state multiple claimants - $4,615,000, local govt single claimant - $769,200, local govt multiple claimants - $1,538,300. This bill would bring the local government limits up to match the state's limits. The proposed bill will greatly increase the County's liability limits, lead to a significant increase to purchase excess general liability insurance, and will likely lead to increased demands when entering settlement conferences. HB 2638 2 Support Limits liability for certain claims for damages arising out of acts or omissions taken during COVID-19 emergency period in reasonable compliance with government guidance related to COVID-19. 1/15/2021 - Erik Kropp - This bill limits liability for certain claims for damages arising out of acts or omissions taken during COVID-19 emergency period in reasonable compliance with government guidance related to COVID-19. Claims not covered by this protection include fraud, gross negligence, reckless conduct, etc. This bill will assist the County in its ability to defend liability claims related to actions it takes related to COVID-19. HB 2786 2 No Position Directs State Department of Agriculture to study barriers to family -scale meat production and ways to promote family -scale meat production, and recommend legislative or regulatory avenues to remove identified barriers and promote family -scale meat production. HB 5028 2 Support Appropriates moneys from General Fund to Department of State Police for certain biennial expenses. 1/19/2021 - Tom Anderson - Includes the proposed budget for the State Medical examiner's Office within the Oregon State Police department budget. Based on recent discussions with the State ME, an expanded budget may enhance the state's ability to support a regional ME function among the three Central Oregon counties. More detail will be necessary to verify that support. SB 410 2 Watch Requires state agencies to develop and implement policies to ensure humane treatment of homeless individuals. 1/15/2021 - Erik Kropp - This bill expands the requirements when law enforcement stores unclaimed personal property of individuals who are homeless. The additional requirements would include storing the property in the city in which the property was given to law enforcement, within five miles of the site the materials were found, and within six blocks of a public transit station. Meeting these additional requirements could be difficult, especially the requirement to store the materials within six blocks of a transit station. There may be instances, especially for locations in the rural county or smaller cities, where there is no storage available that meets these additional requirements. 112812021 - Page: 1 CO �Z a Deschutes County Legislative Tracking Report Date: January 28, 2021 Assessor's Office Bill Number Priority Position HB 2341 1 Support Authorizes tax collector in county covered by state of emergency declared by Governor due to fire or act of God, or authority of Governor under Emergency Conflagration Act, who knows or has reason to believe property has been destroyed or damaged by fire or act of God to prorate taxes imposed on property. 1/19/2021 - Scot Langton - This creates more equity in how fire and act of god is handled for property taxes. This was based on the 2020 wildfires and is also prospective for any future events Bill Number Priority Position HB 2247 2 No Position Authorizes county to adopt ordinance or resolution authorizing county assessor to waive penalties and interest charged for failure to file property tax return or pay taxes when due. 1/19/2021 - Scot Langton - This grants authority to county commissioners to waive certain penalties and delinquent interest for COVID and for wildfires. This could have broad reaching consequences. Needs to be amended so it is not left the the discretion of the Tax Collector or Assessor and instead require a clear framework on which properties qualify under which conditions. HB 2385 2 Support with amendments Directs Department of Revenue to develop, implement and maintain software system that enables online filing and processing of returns and database of information entered in software system. 1/19/2021 - Scot Langton - This if implemented correctly could be a time and resource savings for business owners and counties. Dept of Revenue has to be properly funded for both the implementation and for ongoing cost to maintain. 112812021 - Page: 2 E S COG2� Deschutes County Legislative Tracking o Report Date: January 28, 2021 Community Development Bill Number Priority Position HB 2524 1 Support Places limits on certain restrictions by local governments, planned communities and condominiums on use of property for child care facilities. 1/21/2021 - Nick Lelack - Provides additional opportunities for child care facilities in the EFU zone and other rural zones. HB 2705 Support Allows counties to authorize construction of accessory dwelling units on lands zoned for rural residential use. 1/19/2021 - Nick Lelack - Rural ADU bill. HB 2778 1 Support Redefines "historic home" to include dwellings built before 1974 for purpose of serving as accessory dwelling unit to homes newly constructed on rural residential lands. 1/15/2021 - Nick Lelack - Redefines "historic homes" as homes built prior to 1974 (rather than 1945). This would significantly expand the number of eligible properties for rural ADUs in Deschutes County. HB 2794 1 Neutral Creates Land Use and Wildfire Policy Advisory Committee. 1/15/2021 - Nick Lelack - Comprehensive wildfire bill. Defer to Board on policy position. Also need to defer to County Forester Ed Keith. Requires extensive analysis to understand all of the elements, implementation, costs, etc. as it will directly impact Deschutes Countv. SB 385 Support Authorizes county to allow owner of lot or parcel within rural residential zone to construct one accessory dwelling unit on lot or parcel, subject to certain restrictions. 1/21/2021 - Nick Lelack - Rural ADU bill. S B 391 Support Authorizes county to allow owner of lot or parcel within rural residential zone to construct one accessory dwelling unit on lot or parcel, subject to certain restrictions. 1/15/2021 - Nick Lelack - Rural ADU bill sponsored by Sen. Dembrow. Bill Number Priority Position HB 2190 2 Support Directs State Department of Energy to convene work group to develop program awarding grants for community energy resilience projects and implement program no later than January 1, 2023. 1/15/2021 - Nick Lelack - Defer to Board on whether this is a priority 2, 3 or 4 depending on the Board's level of interest in this issue. HB 2245 2 Oppose Prohibits Department of State Lands from imposing civil penalty for violation of removal -fill laws in wetland if wetland was not listed on wetlands inventory and person committing violation did not have actual knowledge that site was wetland. 1/15/2021 - Nick Lelack - Code enforcement pursue a voluntary compliance approach to addressing these issues with the potential to impose penalties if the violation is not corrected. This bill removes the potential to impose any penalties. The Board may decide to move this down to a priority level 3. HB 2282 2 Neutral Requires Department of Land Conservation and Development to approve City of Bend's expansion of urban growth boundary, and allows department to approve other land use regulations for city on specified lands, if owner of land possesses development opportunity transferred from Metolius resort site owner and city meets other conditions. 1/21/2021 - Nick Lelack - Board policy decision. CDD recommends coordination with the City of Bend on their position. This bill was considered in the 2020 Legislative Session. Adds remainder of DSL property to the Bend UGB to provide affordable housing and other uses. The bill should require the UGB to include any and all adjacent roads and public right of ways into the 112812021 - Page: 3 ES o Deschutes County Legislative Tracking Report Date: January 28, 2021 Community Development Bill Number Priority Position UGB so they are under the City of Bend's jurisdiction and responsibility (coordinate this position and comments with Chris Doty). It also and addresses the Metolius transfer of development opportunities (TDO). The TDOs cannot be sited to create a small recreation community in Deschutes County. However, Crook County is eligible. If the small recreation community is sited in Crook County near the Deschutes County border, there could be transportation and other impacts in Deschutes County. It is unclear if the two counties have the authority to coordinate and require the developer of the small recreation community to mitiaate anv such impacts in Deschutes County. Consider a referral to Chris Doty for comments on this issue. HB 2655 2 Neutral Prohibits counties from establishing minimum lot size of more than one acre for residential zoned land. 1/20/2021 - Nick Lelack - Board policy decision on whether to allow significant new small rural residential lots (RR-10, MUA-10) and housing across Deschutes County. If the Board supports this bill and it gains traction, the Board may consider proposing an amendment to limit the small lot size in Southern Deschutes County to protect the groundwater quality and in Goal 7 natural hazard areas. This bill would impact thousands of rural residential lots in the county that are larger than 2 acres as it would make them eligible to be divided into 1 acre lots. Transportation and septic system impacts would also be significant. HB 2735 2 Neutral Allows county to authorize dwelling not in conjunction with a resource use on lawful resource lots or parcels. 1/19/2021 - Nick Lelack - Board policy decision on whether to allow significant new rural housing development in resource zones. In addition, Sec. 22 addresses the siting of the Metolius transfer development opportunity for a small-scale recreation community within three years after June 29, 2017 and waives most land use requirements. Deschutes County is not an eligible county to site the community, however Crook County is eligible. If the community were established in Crook County and near the Deschutes County border, it may have transportation and other impacts on/in Deschutes County. HB 2779 2 Neutral Authorizes counties to allow contiguous clustered nonresource dwellings on clustered development tract in lieu of approval of individual nonresource dwellings on exclusive farm use or forest lands. 1/15/2021 - Nick Lelack - Board policy decision on whether to allow significant new housing development in rural Deschutes County. Would require several clarifications and interpretations prior to or during implementation. 112812021 - Page: 4 ES Deschutes County Legislative Tracking Report Date: January 28, 2021 District Attorney Bill Number Priority Position HB 2133 2 Oppose unless amended Requires law enforcement agencies to collect fingerprints, palm prints and identifying data for persons arrested for felony or misdemeanor. 1/15/2021 - John Hummel - I support the concept of this information being collected. However, this is an unfunded mandate. The DA's office does not have the excess staff capacity to process the additional work required of us in this bill. HB 2146 2 Support Modifies certain provisions of law relating to crime of prostitution to exclude child sex trafficking victims. 1/15/2021 - John Hummel - Children are unable to legally consent to the act of prostitution, thus they should not be convicted of the crime of prostitution if they engage in sex for money. This bill recognizes that children are too often victims of child traffackinq and should not be made a criminal for the acts of their traffackiers. HB 2169 2 Support Directs Racial Justice Council to study potential changes to criminal justice system and to provide results of study to Legislative Assembly no later than December 31, 2021. 1/21/2021 - John Hummel - The job of a district attorney is to ensure that all Oregonians are treated fairly. This commission study and report will help me fulfill this obligation. HJR1 2 Support Proposes amendment to Oregon Constitution to allow juries to impose verdicts in criminal cases only by unanimous agreement. 1/15/2021 - John Hummel - The US Supreme Court has ruled that a person can only be convicted by a unanimous verdict. Oregon's Constitution allowed people to be convicted by a less than unanimous verdict, so that provision is now null and void. But Oregon's Constitution also allowed people to be acquitted by less than a unanimous verdict, and this provision arguably remains intact. This bill seeks to amend the Constitution to require unanimity for both convictions and acquittals. SB 214 2 Support Expands definition of "victim," for purposes of restitution ordered as part of criminal sentence, to include person or entity that has expended moneys on behalf of, or provided services to, minor victim. 1/15/2021 - John Hummel - Organizations and individuals who provide services to minor victims of crime are often precluded from obtaining restitution from the person who is convicted of the crime. This bill fixes this. 112812021 - Page: 5 Bill Number Priority HB 2223 Deschutes County Legislative Tracking Report Date: January 28, 2021 Position Oppose Finance Directs participating public employers in Public Employees Retirement System to make employer contributions to individual account program, or cash payments, of one percent of member's salary during certain periods, depending on funded status of system. 1/15/2021 - Greg Munn - Increasing retirement benefit costs based on the funded status of the OPERF could cause significant cost increases that will be difficult to fund and plan for. The annual impact to the County could be as high as $800,000. Bill Number Priority Position HB 2173 Oppose Provides that lottery revenues dedicated to county economic development purposes may be transferred to Oregon Department of Administrative Services to pay for portion of costs of regional solutions coordinators within Regional Solutions Program. 1/21/2021 - Greg Munn - Moves lottery resources away from local control. 112812021 - Page: 6 ES COG q� Deschutes County Legislative Tracking Report Date: January 28, 2021 Health Services: Behavioral Health Bill Number Priority Position HB 2508 2 Support Requires Oregon Health Authority to ensure reimbursement of health services delivered using telemedicine. 1/20/2021 - Janice Garceau - This bill requires Oregon Health Authority to ensure reimbursement of health services delivered using telemedicine including by telephone. This is critical for sustainable services and reimbursement for healthcare providers during the pandemic. Especially important is that the bill retain language regarding telephone telemedicine, as this is needed in rural communities where access to broadband may be limited. This bill ensures client access to services while protecting healthcare providers from negative fiscal impacts of operating in virtual/phone environments. SB187 2 Support Defines "dangerous to self or others" for purpose of taking person with mental illness into custody. 1/15/2021 - Janice Garceau - This is a bill with which our Medical Director (Wil Berry) has been involved and which he supports. It will improve the ability to ensure commitment and treatment for individuals with serious and endangering mental health conditions. Dr. Berry is likely to testify in support of this bill if BOCC supports. Per Dr. Berry: This is a bill which defines what the term "dangerousness" means regarding civil commitment. It is designed to allow courts and clinicians to interpret who needs civil commitment with a slightly more broad and reasonable scope, but will continue to keep overall use of civil commitment rare and as a last resort. This bill is one important step in beginning to shift the core treatment options for the most seriously mentally ill persons away from the criminal justice system and back towards treatment settings. SB 295 2 Watch Defines terms related to fitness to proceed. 1/20/2021 - Janice Garceau - This is a key bill that impacts Aid & Assist workload for Counties and CMHPs. AOCMHP is monitoring closely and has worked with SB 24 Implementation Workgroup on amendments to this bill. We are watching for key amendments, without which we will oppose. 112812021 - Page: 7 `� ES CUGZ Deschutes County Legislative Tracking Report Date: January 28, 2021 Health Services: Public Health Bill Number Priority Position HB 2071 2 Support Requires that Department of Revenue issue license to qualified retailers of tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems. 1/22/2021 - Thomas Kuhn - This is the House version of the Statewide Tobacco Retail Licensure (TRL) Bill. Requires that Department of Revenue issue license to qualified retailers of tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems. Allows Oregon Health Authority to impose civil penalty for violation of state public health and safety laws related to tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems, including underage sales. Allows OHA to enter into agreements local public health authority to assist the authority to conduct random, unannounced inspections of wholesalers and retailers of tobacco products or inhalant delivery systems to ensure compliance with the laws designed to discourage the use of tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems by persons under 21 years of age. HB 2086 2 Support Appropriates moneys to Oregon Health Authority to undertake specified steps to address needs of individuals with behavioral health disorders for services, treatment and housing. 1/15/2021 - Janice Garceau - Critical bill for supporting and expanding Behavioral Health infrastructure and funding. HB 2148 2 Support Prohibits remote sales of inhalant delivery systems. 1/22/2021 - Thomas Kuhn - Prohibits remote sales of inhalant delivery systems (ie: e-cigarettes, vaping devices) in order to prevent persons under the age of 21 from purchasing them. Also prohibits distribution or sale of flavored inhalant delivery system products or flavored tobacco products. Allows the Oregon Health Authority to impose civil penalties for violations. HB 2261 2 Support Prohibits remote sales of inhalant delivery systems. 1/21/2021 - Thomas Kuhn - Another bill which prohibits remote sales of inhalant delivery systems. Requires tobacco retailer to obtain local license if operating in jurisdiction with local license requirement. SB 587 2 Support Requires Department of Revenue to issue license to qualified retailers of tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems. 1/22/2021 - Thomas Kuhn - This is the Senate version of the Statewide Tobacco Retail Licensure (TRL) Bill. Requires that Department of Revenue issue license to qualified retailers of tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems. Allows Oregon Health Authority to impose civil penalty for violation of state public health and safety laws related to tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems, including underage sales. Allows OHA to enter into agreements local public health authority to assist the authority to conduct random, unannounced inspections of wholesalers and retailers of tobacco products or inhalant delivery systems to ensure compliance with the laws designed to discourage the use of tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems by persons under 21 years of age. 112812021 - Page: 8 \)I ES COG�� Bill Number Priority HB 2709 Deschutes County Legislative Tracking Report Date: January 28, 2021 Position Oppose unless amended Human Resources Provides that public employee may not become member of pension program of Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan on or after January 1, 2022. 1/20/2021 - Kathleen Hinman - This bill would stop enrollment into PERS. Amendments are needed requiring employers to provide retirement benefits to employees. Alternativley, creating a 4th tier is another option in addressing the cost of PERS. Bill Number Priority Position HB 2118 2 Oppose Transfers responsibility for provision of workers' compensation coverage to qualified emergency service volunteer from Office of Emergency Management to public body under whose direction volunteer is acting. 1/15/2021 - Erik Kropp - Currently, if there is a state of emergency declared, qualified emergency volunteers are provided workers compensation coverage from the Oregon Office of Emergency Management (OEM). This bill would move the requirement to provide workers compensation from OEM to the public body directing the volunteer. As a side note, SAR volunteers are covered by the County's workers compensation program -- it is required by state law. HB 2223 2 Oppose Directs participating public employers in Public Employees Retirement System to make employer contributions to individual account program, or cash payments, of one percent of member's salary during certain periods, depending on funded status of system. 1/20/2021 - Kathleen Hinman - Requires employer to make contributions to individual account program, or cash payments, of one percent of member's salary during certain periods, depending on funded status of system. Adds additional cost to personnel. HB 2512 2 Support Makes permanent provisions allowing retired member of Public Employees Retirement System to be reemployed by participating public employer for unlimited number of hours without reduction in pension benefits. 1/20/2021 - Kathleen Hinman - Supports removing the currently written end date of 2024 for allowing retired member of Public Employees Retirement System to be reemployed by participating public employer for unlimited number of hours without reduction in pension benefits. So far this option has been beneficial for County operations and provides for employer retirement contributions to be made to the employers liability fund rather than building the employee's retirement benefit. 1 /19/2021 - Erik Kropp - This bill will make permanent provisions allowing retired members OF PERS to be reemployed by the participating public employer for unlimited hours without a reduction in pension benefits. This change will help with the ability to hire back retirees which can assist departments as they transition from a long tenured retiring employee. But, this must be weighed against public perception of double dipping. HB 2943 2 Oppose unless amended Provides that employer may not use evidence that public safety officer has been placed on impeachment list for purpose of other investigations or disciplinary action. 1/21/2021 - Kathleen Hinman - Potential to support an avenue for officers to appeal placement on the impeachment list, however the bill as written is too limiting for employers' use of the impeachment list. 1/19/2021 - Erik Kropp - This bill provides that an employer may not use evidence that public safety officer has been placed on impeachment list for purpose of other investigations or disciplinary action. It also allows public safety officer to file petition in circuit court seeking removal of officer from impeachment list SB 113 2 Under Review Provides that Public Employees Retirement Board may charge participating public employer accrued earnings for late payment of employee and employer contributions to individual account program. 1/20/2021 - Kathleen Hinman - We need to see the fiscal impact reports.

SB 550 Support Requires public body employer to establish and implement process by which employees may request employer to use unique identifier in lieu of employee's name in records contained by employer for purposes of public records requests. 1/21/2021 - Kathleen Hinman - HR supports privacy of employee personal information. 1/20/2021 - Erik Kropp - This bill requires public bodies to implement a process for employees to request a unique identifier in lieu of an employee's name for purposes of public records request. This would create additional administrative work in replying to public records requests and could slow down the County's response to public records requests. 112812021 - Page: 10 L�\)T ES COG Deschutes County Legislative Tracking Q Report Date: January 28, 2021 Natural Resources Bill Number Priority Position HB 2234 2 Under Review Requires Director of Department of Consumer and Business Services to prescribe in appropriate specialty codes standards, safeguards and guidelines for incorporating fire prevention and fireproofing or fire resistance measures into construction, repair, renovation, rehabilitation, retrofitting or maintenance of buildings and other structures that are located in areas of this state that are subject to or susceptible to wildfires. 1/20/2021 - Ed Keith - This bill directs the Department of Consumer and Business Services to prescribe specialty codes for both residential and commercial structures for wildfire resistant construction. One looming question with this bill is where it would apply. Currently it states that the Director of Consumer and Business Services will work with the State Fire Marshall to identify the areas. HB 2572 2 Support Provides that spread of fire in forestland across ownership boundary does not constitute prima facie evidence of fire burning uncontrolled if owners or operators of forestland on both sides of ownership boundary agree in advance to conduct prescribed fire. 1/15/2021 - Ed Keith - Amends 477.064 to allow for prescribed burns to cross property boundaries if owners agree to it in advance. Currently any fire that crosses a property boundary in Oregon is considered a public nuisance and must be extinguished. This will allow for more effective prescribed fires to be conducted across property boundaries. HB 2573 2 Oppose Requires governing body of county that contains at -risk land, as defined, to develop wildfire response plan or solicit proposals for development of wildfire response plan, consider proposals and propose wildfire response plan to State Forestry Department. 1/15/2021 - Ed Keith - This bill could become an unfunded mandate to Counties to develop a wildfire response plan and provide fire protection to unprotected lands at a standard yet to be described or developed by the State.

In most cases, tax foreclosure is an option determined ultimately by the property owner. In my tenure, I have worked with many property owners that sell their property through a commercial brokerage firm to avoid foreclosure. Additionally, once a property is acquired by a county through the tax foreclosure process, ORS allows for any expenses incurred by the county related to the maintenance or supervision of a property may be reimbursed by sale proceeds. These expenses are aggregate and are reimbursed by sales of tax foreclosed properties as a whole. Expense reimbursement and proceeds from sales is not a 1-to-1 relationship. If this Bill was to come into effect, the tracking and accounting of expenses and proceeds would become extremely laborious and would require additional resources in terms of staff. 112812021 - Page: 12 \)i E S CMG Deschutes County Legislative Tracking Report Date: January 28, 2021 Solid Waste Bill Number Priority Position HB 2065 2 Support Requires producers of covered products to join producer responsibility organization unless exempt. 1/20/2021 - Timm Schimke - Very comprehensive.
