The committee held a public hearing Feb. 20.

Division administrator TK Keen and senior policy advisor Lily Sobelik told committee members that NAIC accreditation allows states to rely on each other’s examinations and avoids duplicative exams of Oregon-domiciled insurers. The bill implements NAIC model standards adopted after the 2008 financial crisis and would be operative Jan. 1, 2026; rulemaking before that date will also be required.

The group capital calculation helps regulators assess risks to an insurer from non‑regulated affiliates in a holding company system. The liquidity stress test focuses on potential macroprudential effects of large liquidity shocks. Lily Sobelik said 35 jurisdictions have already adopted similar standards and the bill would include a dash‑1 amendment to add confidentiality provisions inadvertently left out of the draft.

Ryan Cifo, government and regulatory affairs director for Standard Insurance Company, the state’s largest domestic insurer, said the company supports the bill provided the committee adopts the confidentiality amendment. Cifo said the division engaged constructively with industry during drafting and that accreditation is important to avoid burdensome multiple-state examinations. Committee members closed the record with the agency promising a forthcoming confidentiality amendment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Committee On Labor and Business 02/20/2025 8:00 AM","oneSentenceSummary","The Division of Financial Regulation asked the Senate Labor and Business Committee Feb. 20 to approve Senate Bill 831 so Oregon can adopt updated NAIC standards for group capital calculation and liquidity stress testing to maintain NAIC accreditation.","taxTitle","Labor and Business, Senate, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",17989,"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},6318670,"Bill would require verified owner consent before psilocybin or marijuana licenses issued",1405,670310,2075820,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2364676-8ae14f805f0f29c2ce0c4367feb1f3de&start=670&end=2075","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2364676-8ae14f805f0f29c2ce0c4367feb1f3de/thumbnail_670310.jpg","/articles/6318670/Oregon/Bill-would-require-verified-owner-consent-before-psilocybin-or-marijuana-licenses-issued","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6318670-f485e34016b1ded305b87ebdc16e09c8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169866&Signature=LcXJPl-Ly1bHMrDWmufrX2hZwBBW8mwoPhLNNEG2nS8irNQ13Xq6cUqlftbNQD85TQzjZPp4~~Wwq5DEm9PKtDB3YrGQqmVygjlnRXlBBBs1wVFw7ZFXiQn6FMP26UHA3bE~kAjzcbrF0pHrSZZipGJqNxAShciqC~4TN7M3XSJm4o5jVMHWhOQZYzwTANbXo9Kx0yZV6mVUF9f5kkxRmwrAK1aibChSltxoeEhJdAspPZC1a7eWwhYpnl6pNk543dEk8uzM4hTy9N6A9tT39fgA-IAcufL1hQWJduVeaHJrLKtbHc41Ifx02dl3O0rZhsKtzpWAw6VqjnbtQfPEdQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 907 drew a lengthy Feb. 20 public hearing before the Senate Labor and Business Committee, where sponsor Sen. Kim Thatcher said the bill would require applicants for psilocybin manufacturing licenses and for medical marijuana grow or processing registrations to provide verified ownership information and, when the premises are not owned by the applicant, to obtain specified consent from the property owner.

Thatcher said the change is aimed at protecting landlords who say tenants have sought licenses using rental addresses without adequate, verified permission. She described the bill as requiring landlord verification — such as a notarized signature — so that owners cannot be falsely implicated if a tenant operates an illicit grow. Thatcher cited several existing license forms and said the current system often relies on an unverified attestation by the applicant.

Anthony Taylor, legislative director for the nonprofit Compassionate Oregon and patient-seat chair on the Oregon Cannabis Commission, testified in opposition to the measure as introduced. Taylor said the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission already require disclosure of a property owner if the applicant is not the owner and have existing forms and procedures; he argued additional requirements such as certified mail and notarized responses would impose an unnecessary administrative burden on agencies and licensees and urged the committee to vote no.

A member of the public, James Crawford, offered extended testimony describing hazards he attributes to unregulated grows and urged stronger protections for landowners; committee members followed up to obtain contact information so staff could follow up with him. No formal action or vote occurred at the hearing.","Senate Bill 907 would require applicants for psilocybin manufacturer licenses and marijuana production/processing registrations to submit verified ownership information and written owner consent when the license premises are not owned by the applicant, the sponsor said at a Feb. 20 public hearing.",{"_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},6318675,"Bill would let retailers keep invoices three years instead of monthly reporting for out‑of‑state direct sales",299,370420,670105,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2364676-8ae14f805f0f29c2ce0c4367feb1f3de&start=370&end=670","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2364676-8ae14f805f0f29c2ce0c4367feb1f3de/thumbnail_370420.jpg","/articles/6318675/Oregon/Bill-would-let-retailers-keep-invoices-three-years-instead-of-monthly-reporting-for-outofstate-direct-sales","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6318675-ac4da9e7f1192c3d6c5b9a51e90ce6a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169866&Signature=O21CvWzBwcb3gnyjPhaq3Mqy4t26riuBehPPAuZfHReixEQB5yRTdLWqCK-OEeowiV4z6mFeX3PeI1RfuRrEppT9J63t4KRa5NUwRvUaobysyIlhp6ekiYiMEv-J5C4f5PTRBuoomc7w~nuIySVetpwF7A86qbfS~-NErvYZk~gBEhDNgo9Yo6kH4cIBV-xWwefP6dPi08JxRqBvNlyHjo3QEgR4OJZHnM4iP8IVK-rdWrVXZoSmdidiwNWIdsMdBIyirvjzR~sB2E6Gcs2MlB2rxJVg4ow~rvLWFJ0cmuadBQhP7xAj6BVM0ChkY-VLWxHLfOIsPcWklKCoCP-Z9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate Labor and Business Committee held a public hearing Feb. 20 on Senate Bill 871, carried by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, which would require OLCC retail licensees to maintain invoices of alcoholic beverage deliveries for three years rather than forcing monthly reporting for out‑of‑state direct-to-retailer shipments.

Rosie Shatkin, government relations director for the OLCC, told the committee the change responds to House Bill 2013 (the 2023 act creating a direct‑to‑retailer permit) and seeks to remove a reporting disparity that has discouraged retailers from participating in direct shipments from out‑of‑state manufacturers. Under the proposal, retailers must retain invoices for three years and make them available to the agency as needed rather than submitting monthly DTR reports.

Shatkin said the bill aligns state recordkeeping with federal requirements and with the treatment of in‑state suppliers, and that the change would reduce the administrative burden on retailers and on OLCC enforcement. Committee members asked whether the monthly reporting would be replaced by an audit function; Shatkin said records would be retained and provided to OLCC on request, and that retailers would still be required to submit reports when audited.

Supporters urged the committee to adopt the measure as a “simple fix” to an inequity for out‑of‑state suppliers. No formal vote was taken at the hearing.","The Senate Labor and Business Committee on Feb. 20 held a public hearing on Senate Bill 871, a technical OLCC bill that would require retail licensees to retain invoices for alcoholic beverage deliveries for three years rather than mandating monthly direct‑to‑retailer reports.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6318665,"Bill would create escalating fines for public employers that delay union dues and employee lists",968,2042560,3011520,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2364676-8ae14f805f0f29c2ce0c4367feb1f3de&start=2042&end=3011","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2364676-8ae14f805f0f29c2ce0c4367feb1f3de/thumbnail_2042560.jpg","/articles/6318665/Oregon/Bill-would-create-escalating-fines-for-public-employers-that-delay-union-dues-and-employee-lists","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6318665-feddca7db32ae3ed394b20d9fdfd3a36/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169866&Signature=ht9n5~0zpXY4M~N8SXhlfvE3zSScP0BPNcrL1ynasm2UjNoxKoqaZTSEmul5K-69XWHT-HnYaTfUr2dy-HncobZtPPEO3OjY~T7TcyTnpXH6Xji0dEPwTUTnaxpM7NeZQDlYmUKVztUCegEQ~Eus4zgGh4m~iX62MbRuRZsXyFmLDp8zqXDG-Pm7xWLLHRdhI76W8pe3dbkQ0XYuH76fWsEMow-d7oT3IPgnUb0halgr5GPitNTi2QoChBQ59TI2ZEtuiJvm-xqBQZThyKYv~QUgBjDhnZCT8UG35TK6Mpo~OiUoZeDOF0AGPo1P~POIJVg0a3ViLGNnsf2M8TtoRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 754, introduced by Sen. Chris Gorsek, would add an escalating civil-penalty scheme for public employers that fail to meet statutory deadlines for providing employee information and remitting union dues under the Public Employee Collective Bargaining Act (PECPA). The committee held a public hearing on the bill Feb. 20.

Gorsek told the committee that most public employers comply, but some “chronically” delay sending dues or required employee information, undermining unions’ ability to represent members. The bill would clarify deadlines — for example, requiring employers to provide new-hire information within 10 days and update employee lists every 120 days — and impose increasing fines for repeated violations. A dash-1 amendment discussed would direct fines into a fund to assist workers and keep enforcement with the Employment Relations Board (ERB), removing a private right of action.

Susan Allen of AFSCME, Katie (Tyson) with the Oregon AFL-CIO, Victor Reyes of AAUP-Oregon, and Mike Powers of SEIU Local 503 testified in support, saying the measure provides a faster, less costly enforcement mechanism than repeated ERB litigation. Allen said the fines would be calibrated for small employers and work with the League of Oregon Cities on fit; she said penalties would be directed to a Wage Security Fund managed by the Bureau of Labor and Industry under the amendment. Witnesses said the bill includes a written-warning step for first violations so penalties target patterns of noncompliance. No vote was taken at the hearing.","Sen.

Sarah Gelser-Blouin, which would require future billboard advertising for lottery games to include the phone number for a problem-gambling hotline.

Committee staff summarized the measure as adding a required line to qualifying lottery advertising: “Need help with problem gambling? Call or text” followed by the hotline number. The billmaker said the measure would apply to future billboards and not require removal of existing signs.

Sen. Sarah Gelser-Blouin, who carried the bill, said the measure “does 1 thing” — it adds the hotline number to lottery billboards. She told the committee the idea arose from conversations about past marketing rules and is intended to be a narrow consumer-protection change. Gelser-Blouin said she would check the drafting office’s language to make clear existing signs would not need to be removed and suggested a clear effective date could address that concern.

Senator Pham noted the statute already specifies what must appear on lottery marketing, and committee staff agreed the bill would add to current statutory billboard requirements, which today include disclaimers that lottery play is “for entertainment only” and not an investment. Gelser-Blouin said she had concerns about adding a QR code because it could encourage drivers to pick up phones while driving; she said a phone number is a safer option.

No formal action was taken at the hearing. Committee staff and the bill sponsor said they would follow up with drafting language and confirm whether the text should explicitly state that existing billboards are unaffected.","Sen.
