Sen. Reynolds, explaining the change, said the House amendment \"adds an emergency clause because some churches are currently considering using their Sunday school rooms as preschools Monday through Thursday and some counties are holding them up through time consuming and expensive land use proceedings.\" She said the bill would strengthen preschool access while keeping health and safety checks from local and state jurisdictions.

Sen. Starr rose to declare a potential conflict of interest, stating on the record that he has an interest in a company that provides preschools and churches. The clerk noted the declaration for the record.

The Senate then repassed the bill after the concurrence vote.

Sen. Brzezinski, sponsor of the bill in the Senate, said the measure \"start[s] setting some limits as to how much water can be used in certain categories and also make certain those that are what I refer to as the mom and pops, farmer market, farm to market farms have access to actually utilize water just like anyone else has been able to do so.\" She described a proposed limit of 3,000 gallons for a half-acre as an example of how the measure balances small-scale commerce and resource protection.

Sen. Golden praised the multi-year negotiations that led to the compromise language, noting the unusual statutory history that had effectively allowed almost any exempt well use except selling vegetables at a growers market; the bill corrects that inconsistency.

Sen. Nash added that the change \"allows somebody that has a half acre ... to actually grow a commercial garden and be able to sell that produce,\" which supporters said will assist local food systems and low-scale producers who sell at farmers markets.

On final passage the clerk announced the bill \"having received a constitutional majority\" and declared it passed. Supporters said the bill will enable small growers to supplement incomes and contribute produce to local food programs.","House Bill 33-72 clarifies and expands the scope of exempt water uses, permitting small-scale commercial gardening (e.g., half-acre growers) to irrigate within set limits and resolving an anomaly that had excluded sales of vegetables at farmers markets.",{"_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},6224023,"Senate keeps expanded plastic bag rules but removes some single-use restrictions; bill clears Senate",256,2211000,2467000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3556421-f9660e88a0fe3b414c9c97f5a0cd29bc&start=2211&end=2467","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3556421-f9660e88a0fe3b414c9c97f5a0cd29bc/thumbnail_2211000.jpg","/articles/6224023/Oregon/Senate-keeps-expanded-plastic-bag-rules-but-removes-some-single-use-restrictions-bill-clears-Senate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6224023-fb6c764ba84dc4ce8c78d36f25c7be5a/orig.mp4?Expires=1773620783&Signature=fFhSv5rmyOQIBKjUYzCSzCVKT3a~pVwfA6i4Dua~Lpko10QDoOheYtVBCSCOwbrZLP2uui6h3pp9hpNGvB3ChZfxfM86ZZ-aO3~lJ4KTWGEf0Htqg4uBzGTTSssGuWzFgIn-jgRoHapY~xrIOX-n9LIuT1Fn7kzdh8ap572dGgq6Mee8FfJDgVi2jvKnW5y-UnH0~GhUNok-lAfGOpteENkoRU59Y3KxLOse96u112oMgKk7fEGL37JJlS6sc3AMLuU9maA6wzA-CkvStS1r7knDE4D-npjWYVQPnh2ySz8GeEYAmlPX7Zdv3DOnsP~hbUlAhQ3yYXMmoBtLDAEV6Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon Senate on Tuesday concurred in House amendments to Senate Bill 551B, a measure that expands the ban on single-use plastic bags at checkout and narrows other single-use plastic restrictions after negotiation with the House.

Sen. Solman, supporting the amended bill, said the House change \"removes the prohibition on food and beverage providers or convenience stores from providing single use plastic utensils or single use condiments packaging to a consumer upon request\" and \"removes the prohibition on a lodging establishment from providing personal health or beauty products in a small plastic personal health or beauty container... unless requested.\" He said the main focus remains reducing plastic pollution and that the bill moves Oregon \"one step closer to our goals of zero waste and breaking free from plastic.\"

Sen. Robinson said he remained opposed and noted practical concerns that some Oregonians prefer plastic bags for carrying certain items. \"Sometimes paper's great, but sometimes if you're carrying stuff, plastic bags are much better,\" he said. He urged colleagues to vote no.

Sen. Solman responded on the floor that residents can still bring reusable bags of any material and encouraged reuse, calling the measure a win for the environment and urging an aye vote.

The clerk called the roll on concurrence and the Senate declared the bill repassed after the vote. The floor tally as read indicates the bill received the support needed for a constitutional majority.","Senate Bill 551B, which expands a ban on single-use plastic bags at checkout and adjusts other single-use plastic restrictions, passed the Senate after amendments from the House removed prohibitions on certain single-use condiments and small toiletry containers unless requested.",{"_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},6224028,"Oregon Senate approves bill requiring schools to implement short-term plans for students with brain injuries",739,2798000,3537000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3556421-f9660e88a0fe3b414c9c97f5a0cd29bc&start=2798&end=3537","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3556421-f9660e88a0fe3b414c9c97f5a0cd29bc/thumbnail_2798000.jpg","/articles/6224028/Oregon/Oregon-Senate-approves-bill-requiring-schools-to-implement-short-term-plans-for-students-with-brain-injuries","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6224028-e19c35bfe1fa8ecaec3333f9634e291f/orig.mp4?Expires=1773620783&Signature=nTJVgvqilOJpcqbnfKxm2YDoIvA-TPh-EFZDH2nWRXt4VYOoBcjlcjWZg3rOgeTMnTZ0Ng5sj4AQaeYIe2PCMVyL1DZgQrz6NSnVN9mZSALhbU-bGiY82hPIoRSs7Z8KA2a6leEKwPanXVQPICQHY2rMU70pm1RCve7HeUTQEH9Q5pXVlbZkbXNTaTowdRvuZhDdctZBfh1RnP5UP9Bxg7n~SePj5jHmAuRtg0-0Impu0LFXQtHPeGvpiNotkDIPu7GaTtURu~4qM5eIhoek6nd8yyhq6kqoxWM6F2Av79LpqCVzJk16Q2iKgkv0CNBAoeZPpszvpSEOaNceFRbisw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon Senate on Tuesday passed House Bill 3007, a measure that directs public education providers to start temporary accommodations for students diagnosed with a brain injury within 10 school days of written notification and to review those accommodations at least every two months.

The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Naron Mislan, told the Senate the legislation \"requires the Oregon Department of Education to develop a procedure and sample form to guide public education providers in creating an immediate and temporary accommodations plan known as ITAP.\" He said the measure is the product of an 18-month, Oregon Health Authority–led collaboration among agency experts, educators, medical professionals and brain-injury survivors.

Sen. Mislan said the bill fills gaps in earlier law and builds on previous work, noting that \"this legislation builds upon the foundation laid by our return to learn bill House Bill 4141 of just 3 bills that passed in our 2020 session\" and that early, tailored school supports improve recovery.

Supporters emphasized the medical and educational consequences of untreated or poorly managed concussions and other brain injuries. Sen. Laurie Reynolds, a pediatrician, said the bill gives \"the time and space to keep the weight off their brain as we would a broken leg while their brain heals,\" adding it provides districts with resources to help students recover academically and physically. Sen. Patterson recalled a family experience and said brain injuries often require \"individualized and structured support to avoid prolonged or even permanent cognitive disabilities.\" Several other senators, including Sen. Meek, described clinical concussion symptoms to underline the need for school accommodations.

The bill requires schools to initiate the ITAP process upon written notification from a parent or guardian that a student has been diagnosed with a brain injury and accommodations are requested. It directs schools to assess whether physical-activity restrictions (for example, on physical education, recess or unstructured play) are needed to reduce reinjury risk, to identify academic, behavioral and social-emotional accommodations, and to communicate those accommodations to relevant staff members.

Advocates in the gallery included representatives from the Center for Brain Injury and Research; Sen. Mislan thanked the center and its coordinator, saying their expertise informed the bill. The bill also tasks the Oregon Department of Education with rulemaking to clarify district implementation details.

On final passage the Senate recorded a constitutional majority and the clerk announced the bill \"having received the constitutional majority is declared passed.\" The roll call recorded 30 ayes.","The Oregon Senate passed House Bill 3007 to require public education providers to create immediate, temporary accommodation plans for students diagnosed with brain injuries, with required timelines for implementation and periodic review.","actionData","errors"]
