Representative Pham introduced HCR 3 and described Dr. Druker’s work developing the leukemia drug Gleevec and his leadership at Oregon Health & Science University. Pham said the resolution was personal: he told members that Dr. Druker “has been at the forefront of the global fight against cancer” and recounted receiving life‑saving care from Dr. Druker when he was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia.

Representative Graber and other members echoed support and praised Dr. Druker’s perseverance and impact on patient care. The resolution notes Dr. Druker’s role in building research capacity, fundraising for the Knight Cancer Institute, and changing treatment for some cancers.

Members observed that Dr. Druker planned to attend but had to fly out for his daughter’s graduation; the House adopted HCR 3 on the floor after members’ remarks.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Chamber Convenes 05/07/2025 11:00 AM","oneSentenceSummary","The Oregon House adopted House Concurrent Resolution 3 commending Dr. Brian Druker for his leadership in cancer research and treatment, including development of Gleevec; several members offered personal testimony and praise before adoption by unanimous consent.","taxTitle","House of Representatives, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",17188,"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},6246407,"Oregon House passes prior‑authorization reforms to speed health care decisions and require electronic interface",223,3238000,3461000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3218077-19412005a1ea181cfd49365c6047b8a0&start=3238&end=3461","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3218077-19412005a1ea181cfd49365c6047b8a0/thumbnail_3238000.jpg","/articles/6246407/Oregon/Oregon-House-passes-priorauthorization-reforms-to-speed-health-care-decisions-and-require-electronic-interface","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246407-25bd8f4a8e1efd32fddfcbd89bf26dd9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771012333&Signature=RDTkrxphvEKh~WH21etSS013UFzotTf61hgF-K5URb2GCIuYZWyjx4K-sVEkPHG0C44v2E5TQNtp7xPZVxlxfkxG~UUyFJMkNsj9BZag8Jqsv2Z9L-Ts8yDaJSJjzBsgjSY8Z~ltxZM8DENtL4a6b2dLpDB6aWE12dIf8BXkAhKNL3raHjSD8QjsL5MWQ0XdvUQq2AG8jrU5n8Oh8puvjL8FeH9jpJxvqgFkpcuC3ya2oe1LBVhKBVqtFTFRIOUZoS6xO1cQRf2O~lmvj3AVasIiETjbLIdXOeEM5YdznJoZvgVeYZL-dqxRBqGSK05GWS6SCvNC2BBvEaKH7heZCA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oregon House passed House Bill 31 34, a package of changes intended to streamline prior authorization for health care. The bill requires insurers to publish annual prior‑authorization data for review by the Department of Consumer and Business Services, prohibits post‑operative denials in certain circumstances, and requires insurers to implement a standardized prior‑authorization application programming interface (API).

Sponsor Representative Nous told colleagues the bill “does 3 things” to improve prior authorization: require public reporting of prior‑authorization length and frequency; allow coverage for additional procedures identified during an approved surgery when medically necessary; and require insurers to adopt an electronic interface so providers can determine whether prior authorization is required and transmit requests and determinations electronically.

The bill instructs the Department of Consumer and Business Services to publish data the department already collects on prior‑authorization timing and outcomes. The floor debate noted federal standards and interoperability requirements; the bill references a prior‑authorization API described in federal rules (45 C.F.R. 156.223(b)) and anticipates federal implementation timelines.

Representative Dreisen praised the Health Care Committee’s work on the measure and urged an “I vote.” No floor amendments were proposed during third reading; the clerk announced that House Bill 31 34 had “received the constitutional majority” and was declared passed.

Key provisions discussed on the floor include: insurer reporting to the Department of Consumer and Business Services; allowing coverage for clinically necessary additional or related procedures identified during an authorized surgery when immediate action is required; and requiring insurers to implement an electronic prior‑authorization interface that connects to providers’ electronic health records and complies with federal standards. The sponsor said implementation will align with federal timelines and expected broader industry adoption.

The bill passed on final reading with unanimous or broad support on the House floor as recorded in the session transcript.","House Bill 31 34 requires insurers to report prior‑authorization data, bars prior authorization for certain procedures discovered during surgery, and mandates use of a standardized prior‑authorization API; the House passed the measure unanimously in final reading.",{"_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},6246412,"Oregon House reconsiders and passes bill updating law for I‑5 bridge tolling with Washington",1379,2341000,3720000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3218077-19412005a1ea181cfd49365c6047b8a0&start=2341&end=3720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3218077-19412005a1ea181cfd49365c6047b8a0/thumbnail_2341000.jpg","/articles/6246412/Oregon/Oregon-House-reconsiders-and-passes-bill-updating-law-for-I5-bridge-tolling-with-Washington","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246412-cbed41d0ab87b7e7847f3d514725de0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771012333&Signature=ZmYFAYnArMsvZfJKdgm8a0VI92mzRj7as3Ubz5VJSqDdVzhq4KggVJ3fM5GXj6VzJB9x8dxVWwKTj8cpJeycmyveN~AwFmj99lk7E04g3n6XxyX7PqHebbGZzTak9of7-32GVuiA~~uYbxsPzZgN8j9bE320WB1MsSao9WJtSqskyHnBdX9T0c719yt6xfStcgW19fqC7ghnW35hEsoxAhqVULDsQ32DrQU0eG91KExWwdafIahyrOTVuloryueVAt5kBVn2b2U1zdoQ0EPY4Er~ykyEa7dgJKY10J1rTvnCUxMP5laGesoJnM5ZbeKDi3lwLI9r672u5qCOMV0uBA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oregon House voted to reconsider a prior vote and then passed House Bill 29 31, a measure that updates state law to account for a Washington‑run tolling program tied to the Interstate 5 bridge replacement project.

Supporters said the bill preserves Oregon’s ability to claim 50% credit for toll revenue and maintain the interstate replacement partnership with Washington. Opponents warned the changes could embed long‑term tolling and remove statutory language that would require toll revenues to be reduced.

Representative Rob Nelson moved to reconsider the earlier failure to pass the bill, saying some members “were not fully aware or fully understood the impact of this bill.” The motion to reconsider was adopted, and debate resumed before the final vote.

Representative Mannix, speaking in favor, said the bill “does not independently allow or direct a congestion‑pricing program” and described the measure as technical updates to modernize statutes to fit the current bridge program and to reflect that Washington will administer tolling.

Opponents framed the bill as a tolling measure. Representative Drazen said he rose “in opposition to House Bill 29 31,” and questioned whether the bridge design and the long‑term tolling framework were appropriate. Representative Drazen also warned that the project’s proposed design allocates a large share of bridge surface to non‑road uses.

Representative Gamboa urged caution about assuming the Legislature could stop tolling, saying in debate that voting against the bill would not stop Washington from tolling the bridge and that “what it will do is stop Oregon from benefiting from those tolls to the degree that we could.” Representative McLean, a bill supporter, told colleagues that a yes vote would “make sure that we get credit, can use, and pay for with that tolling, not 1¢ more than 50% and not 1 cent less than 50%.”

After the House was placed under call and individual members’ votes were recorded, the clerk announced that House Bill 29 31 had “received the constitutional majority” and was declared passed.

The debate focused on three distinct issues: (1) technical statute changes needed to coordinate with Washington and the federal program, (2) whether the bill would allow ongoing or variable tolling practices such as congestion or demand pricing, and (3) removal of a phrase in current law that opponents said required toll revenues to be reduced. Several members asked that future policy choices about toll levels, congestion pricing, and bridge design remain subject to subsequent actions by the Legislature and by the Oregon Transportation Commission.

No administrative or implementation dates were established on the House floor during the debate. The clerk certified final passage on the House floor after the recorded vote.","After a successful motion to reconsider, the Oregon House passed House Bill 29 31 to update state statutes so Oregon can participate in a Washington‑run tolling program for the Interstate 5 bridge replacement; members debated tolling policy, maintenance funding and wording about reducing toll revenues.","actionData","errors"]
