Sen. James Ivory Manning Jr., sponsor of SB 224, said the bill is intended to reduce doxxing and threats against candidates and their families. \"This bill makes it automatic where those home addresses will not be listed,\" Manning said, and he described amendments that would allow individuals to opt in to display their address and would allow members of the public to obtain addresses through a public-records request.

Manning and others cited incidents in which addresses posted online preceded threats or harassment. Supporters urged that removing easy online access to home addresses would encourage more people to run for office.

Multiple witnesses supported the proposal and described how it would affect campaign operations and public-interest reporting. Luke Weyweitbearer, chair of a school board and advocate for candidate safety, described personal stalking and vandalism concerns and said the change would \"help protect those who want to serve the public through elected office.\" Tom Holt, representing the Society of Professional Journalists, said his organization had been involved in the development of current law that allows candidates to request nondisclosure and said he and journalists have discussed an amendment under which the Secretary of State and county clerks would by default not publish addresses on the web but would provide them in response to public-records requests, leaving a traceable record of who sought the information. Holt said the society would be neutral on the bill with that amendment.

Rebecca Gladstone, speaking for the League of Women Voters of Oregon, supported the bill and urged broader, consistent privacy protections for candidates, campaign workers and other public servants who may face harassment.

Committee members asked about how the proposal would affect verification of residency requirements for candidates and whether an individual would be notified when their address is released in response to a public-records request; Senator Manning said the bill contemplates preserving a public-records process and suggested additional amendments could address notification procedures. No committee vote on SB 224 was recorded in the transcript.

Manning said two amendments were forthcoming: one to make nondisclosure the default on the Secretary of State's website (with an opt-in to publish), and a second to clarify the public-records request process for obtaining an address.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Committee On Rules 02/17/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Senate Bill 224 would prohibit the Secretary of State from publishing candidates’ and certain campaign officials’ residential addresses on its electronic filing system by default, while retaining access through public records requests, testimony in the Rules Committee said.","taxTitle","Rules, Senate, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",17994,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6326758,"Committee hears governor-request bill to sunset inactive boards, shift appointment authority",876,1981020,2857849,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2323719-31fa86e7adea9b76d302ee2f872918b6&start=1981&end=2857","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2323719-31fa86e7adea9b76d302ee2f872918b6/thumbnail_1981020.jpg","/articles/6326758/Oregon/Committee-hears-governor-request-bill-to-sunset-inactive-boards-shift-appointment-authority","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6326758-2b3cc01e714bdd3c516544004548c619/orig.mp4?Expires=1771037264&Signature=Jk8SVwKZmxdW5CsRM8Uot63wM1XFA391GI0GTBDEqmZajrtDLEoXDwCOo5uhonMTlFEAZ1ue~-y7D-litjSZ2T7RF~llk0d7vnu0R0bTE1P7h-epqYfAyyiPnHOIkgSxfVgag6uT8E-k5dPy2lLjkUrk2WcREuuuVWqxBwLpQdWRBkK0VZCdw5lyB1wCSvGhS~Z-to1kJR6Q-tolOsicK5NOj8JAEEr~VAOEE~GWw8lSwvOtDYwjr1Pn9JSmPpHSqv-bpGFLxUPsc4l4HjbXXWD7tOA-xyt6kUp-12xEOvQyOz9jDczdMB6mhqYEzlNOPF3vNH2NTspbTRA7iSWpAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate Committee on Rules heard testimony on Senate Bill 47, a governor-request measure intended to streamline Oregon’s boards and commissions by sunsetting inactive or duplicative entities and adjusting appointing authority for certain commissions.

Brandy Hemsley, executive appointments adviser to Governor Kotek, told the committee the bill \"aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our board and commission system by eliminating boards that are inactive, obsolete, or duplicative.\" Hemsley said the executive appointments team worked with the secretary of state's office to review more than 270 governor-appointed bodies and concluded the bill should eliminate the jobs plus advisory board; the spinal cord injury research board; the poison prevention task force; and the employee suggestion awards commission. Hemsley said an inclusion of the Oregon Community Power board in the introduced bill was an error and the administration will seek an amendment to remove that board from the sunset list.

The bill would also move appointment authority for the Family Services Review Commission from the governor to the director of the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) or designee, and remove the requirement that gubernatorial appointments to the Mental Health Advisory Board and the Disability Issues Advisory Committee be approved by the governor; instead those appointments would be the responsibility of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) director or designee, Hemsley said.

Valerie Harmon, executive director of the Oregon Patient Safety Commission, testified about the proposal to sunset the Task Force on the Resolution of Adverse Health Care Incidents (the EDR task force). Harmon said the EDR program has moved from a start-up phase into regular operations within the Patient Safety Commission, and that board oversight would cover the evaluative role formerly played by the task force. Harmon noted the task force had provided valuable guidance and said an advisory group could be used to retain voices not represented on the board, such as trial lawyers, if the task force is sunset.

Senators asked questions about which specific duties and funding streams would move as a result of the sunset provisions, how often reviews of boards and commissions occur (Hemsley said the last comprehensive review took place in 2012), and whether the administration plans regular future reviews (Hemsley said no plan has been set). Hemsley and Harmon confirmed the bill is intended to reduce duplication and preserve program accountability through existing agency structures.

No committee action (vote) on SB 47 was recorded in the transcript of this meeting.","Senate Bill 47, a governor-request bill to eliminate several inactive or duplicative boards and change appointment authority for some commissions, was presented to the Rules Committee for testimony; no committee vote was recorded.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6326763,"Senate committee advances bill to designate Nov. 14 as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day",1961,18715,1980540,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2323719-31fa86e7adea9b76d302ee2f872918b6&start=18&end=1980","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2323719-31fa86e7adea9b76d302ee2f872918b6/thumbnail_18715.jpg","/articles/6326763/Oregon/Senate-committee-advances-bill-to-designate-Nov-14-as-Ruby-Bridges-Walk-to-School-Day","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6326763-2890ccc2bbe45bc9601103eea815a05b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771037264&Signature=n5srTzs5w6d82SxTqTxzb1NPDHgqOhTQnapujYCMaUbX9xRy2QRHIRhTXiHOHlKIod-Fl4W80l8Bxu7sZ0uOAD2TNoGNqK-70HF2wkYcxBAThD0i~DkuIfp2Db0OHnnroF74z71LRLx1fPrGag-R5XnhO8KarAbYgaBLVrqCKk~XQgJnozdvEf3Q0h5GEAsE7LG5lSOzepSBzQBMq91d0J0yUEJHlvdYVTrcL6WY2MC~245uZrhaMWMU8aF153mnN-Rc1GG7Nphy2U56l4Gyl1ssswN7XQ1Ho8unut6EFjDvb8fwKooA6plkd-E6MA7wFpKDxmi1hwL~gbrdaMhwGw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chair JAMA convened the Senate Committee on Rules on Monday and opened a public hearing on Senate Bill 450, which would designate Nov. 14 of each year as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day in Oregon and declare an emergency, making the observance effective upon passage.

State Sen. Deb Patterson, D-District 10, urged the committee to support the measure, saying Ruby Bridges’ 1960 walk into William Frantz Elementary School \"remains a powerful reminder of the courage required to break barriers and the ongoing importance of ensuring that every child has access to a welcoming and supportive learning environment.\" Patterson said the designation would encourage students to engage in conversations about American history and civil rights.

Several lawmakers and education and community leaders testified in favor. Sen. Aaron Woods, R-District 13, described Ruby Bridges’ action as a symbol of courage and \"a reminder of how far we have come in the pursuit of civil rights, but also how much further we still must go.\" State Rep. Travis Nelson and Sen. Lou Frederick recounted personal experiences of school desegregation and supported the bill.

Local school and active-transportation leaders described existing events and educational efforts connected to the proposed observance. Beth Schmidt, Salem-Keizer Safe Routes to School coordinator, said her district has grown participation from one school to \"thousands of students\" and highlighted classroom preparation accompanying annual walks. TJ Crockett, acting chief operations officer for Salem-Keizer Public Schools, said the district has recognized National Walk to School Day as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day for three years and urged statewide recognition to support \"safe and welcoming schools for all students.\" Sarah Iannarone, executive director of The Street Trust, said 170 schools in Oregon participated in 2024 and framed the day as aligning with Safe Routes to School goals.

During a subsequent work session Vice Chair Bonham moved Senate Bill 450 to the Senate floor with a “do pass” recommendation. The committee conducted a roll call: Senator Goldman — Aye; Senator Manning — Aye; Senator Patrick — Aye; Vice Chair Yvonne — Aye; Chair Johnson — Aye. The motion passed. Senator Bassett was named the carrier for the bill on the Senate floor.

Supporters told the committee the observance would provide an annual opportunity to teach students about civil rights, promote inclusive school climates and pair educational lessons with physical-activity events such as walking or rolling to school.

No fiscal or revenue impact was reported during the hearing.","The Senate Committee on Rules voted to send Senate Bill 450 to the Senate floor with a \"do pass\" recommendation, a measure that would designate Nov. 14 as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day in Oregon and declare an emergency making it effective on passage.","actionData","errors"]
