Committee staff described the bill as directing the Oregon Health Authority to annually adjust grants to regional health equity coalitions; a posted dash‑1 amendment would replace adjustment based on the consumer price index (CPI) with a requirement that adjustments be made for inflation as determined by the Legislative Assembly in its biennial appropriation to OHA.

Committee staff said fiscal and revenue analyses were completed and that the measure has minimal fiscal impact and no revenue impact. Vice Chair Hayden moved to adopt the dash‑1 amendment; that amendment was considered and adopted by roll call. The committee then moved SB 5 30 as amended to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation. The committee recorded roll calls and the chair assigned Senator Reynolds as the floor carrier.

Why it matters: the mechanism used to adjust grant amounts affects the predictability and timing of funding increases for coalitions that rely on grant dollars to sustain staff and member supports.

Votes: The committee voted on the dash‑1 amendment (tally recorded in committee) and then on moving the bill to the floor; both motions passed by roll call.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Committee On Health Care 03/25/2025 3:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Senate Bill 5 30, which would require adjustments to grants for regional health equity coalitions for inflation, was amended to replace CPI indexing with inflation determinations made by the Legislative Assembly in the biennial appropriation; the committee forwarded the bill to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation.","taxTitle","Health Care, Senate, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",17872,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":44,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6106871,"Senate committee advances bill to add regional health equity coalitions, amendment reduces new coalitions from five to three",140,31000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779250-b28f6b4de622eed5280d047cd84ff666&start=31&end=171","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779250-b28f6b4de622eed5280d047cd84ff666/thumbnail_31000.jpg","/articles/6106871/Oregon/Senate-committee-advances-bill-to-add-regional-health-equity-coalitions-amendment-reduces-new-coalitions-from-five-to-three","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106871-a570e2848e20b2c540d988f25bcfd437/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150842&Signature=DehX9mJph-rCHpSDwMDVGmtjlsAfrH0f72pJd7PxSGsJfGg4tKgop8~16BuCFApU0EyZst9aQ7SHxzphWOnPA4pSrRtAzkQNkfPdIqXwVoUUkQmQAkOo6qCi4DbaAbZ447PGDFFtt3SB8lYr63XcCjrTnCx98PJM1LpzJBqgqep2gGCZPBBpN4RnONv9~vz6VTcX1wQAe~JiySYQHn7v3v3SVEhBqSVbkz41dysti-q1ATUY2qXbPZ-C-kAWORBCrm7fHMv8vtulCgc~NVQ2Ab89Tcn0xvs9nXBU8P0J-ZxwAl5qJve0aqCeJGw6PqhjUTdcE8pV7YuTUCVKDu6F4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chair Patterson opened a work session on Senate Bill 5 28 on March 25, 2025. A committee staff member summarized the bill as an appropriation to the Oregon Health Authority to add regional health equity coalitions and to fund two full‑time staff positions and expenses for facilities, childcare, transportation and translation services for coalition members.

The committee considered a posted dash‑1 amendment that, as presented by staff, reduced the number of new regional health equity coalitions from five to three and was reflected in the posted fiscal analysis. Vice Chair Hayden moved to adopt the dash‑1 amendment; the committee adopted the amendment by roll call and then voted to send the amended bill to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation and referral to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means by prior reference.

Why it matters: the bill creates recurring base funding for regional health equity coalitions, which are intended to support culturally specific engagement, remove access barriers such as childcare and transportation for members, and increase outreach capacity at the community level. Shifts in the number of funded coalitions affect how widely that capacity can be expanded.

Key details: committee staff noted the fiscal impact statement and that there was no revenue impact statement posted. The dash‑1 amendment and fiscal analysis were publicly available on OLIS. After the roll calls the chair closed the SB 528 work session and opened the next item.

Votes at a glance: The committee first adopted the dash‑1 amendment (motion passed). Roll call on the amendment recorded: Senator Campos — Aye; Senator Luthicombe — No; Senator Reynolds — Aye; Vice Chair Hayden — Aye; Chair Patterson — Aye. The committee then moved SB 5 28 as amended to the floor with a due pass recommendation and referral to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means. Final roll call recorded: Senator Campos — Aye; Senator Lythmicott — No; Senator Reynolds — Aye; Vice Chair Hayden — No; Chair Patterson — Aye. Motion passed and the bill will go to Ways and Means.","The Senate Committee on Health Care adopted an amendment that reduces the number of new regional health equity coalitions funded by Senate Bill 528 from five to three, and sent the amended bill to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means with a due-pass recommendation.","actionData","errors"]
