The dash-2 amendment on OLIS directs OHA to establish a community-based perinatal services access program, expands access to doulas, lactation counselors and educators through OHA and coordinated care organizations, and requires OHA to review reimbursement rates in coordination with the Traditional Health Worker Commission. The staff record notes the measure has a fiscal impact and no revenue impact; because of the fiscal effect the bill was referred by prior referral to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means.

Vice Chair Anderson moved to adopt the dash-2 amendment dated April 8, 2025; the motion passed on roll call (Senator Gorsek — Yes; Senator Lythicombe — No; Senator Patterson — Aye; Vice Chair Anderson — Aye; Chair Tara Reynolds — Aye). The committee then voted to advance SB 692, as amended, with a due-pass recommendation and prior referral to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means; the motion passed on roll call and the measure was sent to Ways and Means.

Reynolds thanked a range of stakeholder groups who worked on the measure, including coordinated care organizations, the Children’s Institute and the Black Futures Initiative, and characterized the proposal as a way to reduce disparities in perinatal care access across rural and communities of color. The committee clerk recorded adoption of the amendment and referral to Ways and Means; the work session on SB 692 was closed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Committee On Early Childhood and Behavioral Health 04/08/2025 1:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Senate Bill 692, which would expand coverage and funding for culturally specific perinatal services and doulas, had its dash-2 amendment adopted April 8 and was sent to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means because of a fiscal impact.","taxTitle","Early Childhood and Behavioral Health, Senate, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",78276,"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},6083305,"Senate committee forwards bill prioritizing housing for pregnant people and infants to Rules",515,33820,549725,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2934957-bed4bd0ed83c1f5eea8133ed1e74e422&start=33&end=549","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2934957-bed4bd0ed83c1f5eea8133ed1e74e422/thumbnail_33820.jpg","/articles/6083305/Oregon/Senate-committee-forwards-bill-prioritizing-housing-for-pregnant-people-and-infants-to-Rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6083305-7a76866e463446e08da48236a413a23c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771085301&Signature=flpXkNkWRzeb1dkDmp~Sf~~hMikOrhwuboeUxJELVV515UMSaBXovGa0kMctkRk9NEbVkEnkw2-bvp9wTGEtb46c0vFhcr~ziV9oXREeqxtDvlh8RCw8cXQjHKB1b4HNVjtPt9THiYIj6IsiuaceJz6WAz7f1mSw3-WbLbLQPTdEEdeM~S65f~IPftPkiQrobDF69jM4FIqMikhGbWRvGK5Z0mBmaOH3-Neh4S2n-SF7NuSEZvOP-ZM~Bp9hzWVJbZwGGKsR3u4AsY73gIjLxKfd4WBKJV-bLv20So4YCLhx1dcSj8kV~Xuacp5XNBjG-gE3vqYVikD6oOgYEaNzXw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chair Tara Reynolds, chair of the Senate Committee on Early Childhood and Behavioral Health, opened a work session April 8 on Senate Bill 690 and said the committee was moving the measure to the Senate Committee on Rules so drafters could finish language and fiscal analysis.

The bill is a placeholder in the committee’s maternal-and-child policy package and is described by Reynolds as focused on prioritizing housing resources for pregnant people and people with infants. \"The time to have the time to turn a blind eye to homeless babies needs to be over,\" Chair Tara Reynolds said during the work session, citing high rates of unsheltered children in Oregon.

The committee record shows Reynolds noting Oregon’s unsheltered-child rate at about 20 per 100,000 compared with a national average of about 1.4 per 100,000. She framed the bill as an attempt to make legislative intent \"operational\" and said staff were still drafting amendment language and fiscal analysis.

Vice Chair Anderson moved to send the bill to the Senate Committee on Rules without recommendation as to passage. The motion passed on a roll call: Senator Gorsek — Yes; Senator Lissingham — No; Senator Patterson — Aye; Vice Chair Anderson — Aye; Chair Reynolds — Aye. The clerk recorded the motion as passed and the measure was referred to Rules.

Committee members discussed the urgency of the problem and differing views on the appropriate policy response. One member said existing housing programs and avenues for low-income households might make an additional program unnecessary; another emphasized addressing root causes in addition to near-term housing supports. Chair Reynolds told the panel the measure will return to Rules for further drafting and fiscal work.

The committee closed the work session on SB 690 and moved on to other bills on the agenda.","Chair Tara Reynolds, chair of the Senate Committee on Early Childhood and Behavioral Health, opened a work session April 8 on Senate Bill 690 and moved the placeholder bill prioritizing housing for pregnant people and infants to the Senate Committee on Rules without recommendation.",{"_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},6083296,"Committee narrows sale of flavored tobacco to OLCC stores, sends SB 702 to Finance and Revenue",713,912615,1626235,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2934957-bed4bd0ed83c1f5eea8133ed1e74e422&start=912&end=1626","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2934957-bed4bd0ed83c1f5eea8133ed1e74e422/thumbnail_912615.jpg","/articles/6083296/Oregon/Committee-narrows-sale-of-flavored-tobacco-to-OLCC-stores-sends-SB-702-to-Finance-and-Revenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6083296-592efc3efc1e87c9544a3d98e48e081b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771085301&Signature=kRjPh1~3MqjJg0mi4J4g3FuqlBvhO3zeMzVhpIUAnrfKsVN8lN5mA3MpNfgU1vO-x0nxRCPRMlDoSwxp54wLR3XKpIrLudynRg9BZUK5R3vWcwav7pd1CePfdHva5jTNkeHLHfLBMP5VXH1A9sVs6CqawRNpeOcd6m2p-RpnO9A5FzWn3hzqFHe1bf8bqcGQJEM9Ucv0gPnwN2MT9RCYSZ5TIFo4BTlRyy47JfzcoYnORhA1M~KvqXUShBc6WpZ2UqZSD3b3BpDrRcthwcyMSiLyC2efLg83fcK6tB6zXb~mVNxNMJgtGsUwCXwXZykhndIVYy4AUoSU7ajUz5mgnA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chair Tara Reynolds reopened discussion April 8 on Senate Bill 702 and described a dash-3 amendment that would limit the sale of flavored tobacco products and flavored inhalant-delivery systems to Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) stores that sell liquor.

Reynolds framed the dash-3 change as a middle-ground enforcement mechanism: OLCC-run liquor stores already have age-verification processes and restricted access. \"I just want to make clear it's not marijuana stores,\" Chair Tara Reynolds said, clarifying the amendment’s scope. She said the change would make access harder for underage people while still allowing adults legal access in tightly regulated retail settings.

Senator Patterson offered personal testimony about the harms of early tobacco use and described his brother’s recent death from lung cancer after starting smoking as a teenager. \"They shouldn't be selling those to children,\" Senator Patterson said as he shared his brother's experience and urged action to reduce youth access.

Committee staff summarized the amendments and noted there are multiple amendment options on OLISS, including ones that (1) change the operative date and definition of characterizing flavor; (2) establish a task force on youth vaping; (3) restrict flavored product sales to OLCC-run stores (dash-3); and (4) require electronic ID scanning at point of sale (dash-4). Staff told the committee that fiscal and revenue statements for the dash-3 amendment are available on OLISS and that both were issued as \"light\" fiscal/revenue analyses requiring further study in the next committee.

Vice Chair Anderson moved to adopt the dash-3 amendment; the amendment was adopted on a roll call and the committee then moved SB 702, as amended, to the floor with a due-pass recommendation and referred the measure to the Senate Committee on Finance and Revenue for fiscal and revenue analysis. The clerk recorded the roll-call votes and the motion passed.

Members debated enforcement and policy approach. Some members said narrowing points of sale to OLCC stores creates an enforcement advantage; others opposed adding retail restrictions and preferred education and broader enforcement across all retailers. The committee closed the work session on SB 702 and sent the bill to Finance and Revenue for further fiscal and policy study.","The Senate Committee on Early Childhood and Behavioral Health on April 8 adopted a dash-3 amendment to Senate Bill 702 that would limit the sale of flavored tobacco products to OLCC-operated liquor stores and referred the measure to the Senate Committee on Finance and Revenue.","actionData","errors"]
