Hennepin County (2023) and to give former owners of foreclosed properties a process to reclaim surplus sale proceeds.

Senator Taylor, presenting the measure, summarized the Supreme Court's holding and described the bill's mechanics: after a county sells foreclosed property to satisfy unpaid taxes and related costs, any leftover surplus will be subject to claims by the former owner; the bill instructs counties to notify individuals of potential surplus and enables claimants to recoup funds through the Oregon State Treasury's unclaimed property program.

Taylor illustrated the Supreme Court example on the floor: when a condo was sold for $40,000 to pay $15,000 in taxes, the remaining $25,000 belonged to the former owner, not the county, under Tyler. The bill requires counties to create a notice process and aligns surplus recovery with established state unclaimed property procedures.

Senators recorded a roll call, the bill received the constitutional majority and was declared passed. Sponsors said the bill provides a clear compliance path for counties to follow the Supreme Court ruling and reduces administrative uncertainty about surplus proceeds from tax foreclosures.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Chamber Convenes 06/20/2025 1:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","House Bill 2089A creates a framework in Oregon for counties to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court's Tyler v.

Senator Broadman, sponsor on the floor, described the bill as a unified framework that \"voided noncompetes retroactively\" in earlier legislation and that the current unified approach means \"Noncompetes are void and unenforceable except in 3 cases.\" The three exceptions outlined on the floor were: a physician owner with greater than a 1.5% ownership interest; a staff physician where a noncompete may be valid for up to three years if the employer's recruitment investment (for example, a sign‑on bonus) equals 20% or more of the physician's annual salary; and a staff physician working in a federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area where a noncompete may be valid for up to five years under the same investment condition.

Senator Reynolds, speaking as both a senator and a practicing pediatrician, urged support for the bill and emphasized continuity of care, arguing that noncompetes \"interrupt care, displace physicians, and break the trusted bonds between patients and providers.\" He said removing barriers to movement among employers will help address access problems in primary care and specialty services.

Floor clerks recorded the roll call and the bill was declared passed after receiving the constitutional majority. Sponsors told the chamber the measure is intended to increase competition for medical providers, limit restrictive employment practices, and preserve recruitment protections for employers who make substantial up‑front investments in hiring.

The Senate debate incorporated technical clarifications to earlier related measures and recorded no floor opposition after sponsors said stakeholders had been consulted on the unified approach.","The Senate approved House Bill 34‑10B, which voids most physician noncompetition agreements but permits limited exceptions for physician‑owners and short, conditional noncompetes tied to recruitment investments and shortage‑area hires.",{"_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},6190532,"Senate extends forest products harvest tax rates and sparks debate on wildfire funding fairness",461,1778000,2239000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5048154-91c2f0a3ab9fcbc32ef5d28d2429a53b&start=1778&end=2239","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5048154-91c2f0a3ab9fcbc32ef5d28d2429a53b/thumbnail_1778000.jpg","/articles/6190532/Oregon/Senate-extends-forest-products-harvest-tax-rates-and-sparks-debate-on-wildfire-funding-fairness","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190532-2e66d18d88bef3fdafc1f94b5458a164/orig.mp4?Expires=1773588594&Signature=hwWez~m0bygTz7e4bQajNEWbeIEhQNU-SiKLt95L9XZna9LWNkxQdvHlY1FhQmyQRsDAQFFLltfNwAnkNk1QjXJdf6B9NSg5fG-gtOpQCOubp7iLKGGnpa54PhLXSWSwAkgLthJ1BNdCmGBQ3tb98-52C43Re1SZfmO8g0SArV8-RtGoecMKQ7a9RepII4oLQQWBx8gdJ9D8-E~-VpE5tO25gxgM4VXn8iQBaIGaPargDvtC4g5rtIp2os2cRHsf9cnTXLnw4YB6dhFK1Hgjdgu5ASaX91ECmuNIMqprc6uaeR7iPOJ~g0omrHGmJSNkfhBv5d1RJ3iQbHtzYmKezw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oregon Senate passed House Bill 20‑72A on third reading, extending three components of the forest products harvest tax through 2026 and 2027 and adjusting the harvest tax rate from 253.46¢ to 265.44¢ per thousand board feet to support a larger share of administration costs for the Oregon Forest Practices Act.

Senator Frederick, presenting the bill, said the adjustments \"provide funding for the Oregon State University Forest Research Laboratory, administration of the Oregon Forest Practices Act by the Department of Forestry, and professional forestry education at the OSU College of Forestry,\" and noted the new harvest tax rate takes effect Jan. 1, 2026. He also said other rate components for forest research, fire suppression, and education remain at 90¢, 62.5¢, and 20¢ per thousand board feet respectively.

Senator Golden, speaking in support but urging follow‑up work, said: \"This harvest tax is a major policy problem for us in Oregon because it is so massively complex.\" Golden argued the current tax is volume‑based and therefore does not track the market value of timber, raising concerns about fairness when wildfire funding needs rise. \"If we had the old value based severance tax 5%, it would be $25,\" Golden said in hypothetical examples contrasting volume and value approaches to funding wildfire programs.

The Senate completed a roll call and the bill was declared passed; the formal count recorded the measure as receiving the constitutional majority required for passage.

Supporters framed the bill as a technical and temporary measure to maintain funding for forestry research, agency administration, and forestry education, while several senators asked for a broader policy review of the harvest tax structure and its adequacy for wildfire funding going forward.","The Senate passed House Bill 20‑72A to extend components of the forest products harvest tax and adjust the harvest‑tax rate; senators raised the need for a broader review of the tax's complexity and whether volume‑based charges fairly fund wildfire programs.",{"_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},6190537,"Senate concurs with House on age‑verification bill allowing license scans, raises statutory damages to $5,000",179,1396000,1575000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5048154-91c2f0a3ab9fcbc32ef5d28d2429a53b&start=1396&end=1575","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5048154-91c2f0a3ab9fcbc32ef5d28d2429a53b/thumbnail_1396000.jpg","/articles/6190537/Oregon/Senate-concurs-with-House-on-ageverification-bill-allowing-license-scans-raises-statutory-damages-to-5000","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190537-ac61c2f71c8742ddee79e563176ae7fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1773588594&Signature=fbBUON4gmAkgrWtplJrCtLiQ2XHKAW7GvLRiz78E1YbRvi0p5bTH~J901s0A4leOLMxn7wwi29PT4nPz~pHKjX23lAv9370Xp6Vz-A9hBvm630ZR1RjcMNzxer4arbINbGU4q6MzteSFzHn7YETuCyPMJCFJBA8Y2SQ1avKJqa8cVFyERfy~LYdKM9f3yf-dlNCx3DlQyizXXlWuthVlHvPzx8e9j0arkSwdyMYVn--eLnXq-oU0ksEutvo~Qr5WA3i4pzop5wfImm-UVZd~RXge1VIWQB2Ny08okKQE~~Zgj3Ue7D-FzAFrZ16BBievfmgg~-u3Gdm8pd8qCFUV9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oregon Senate on the floor concurred with House amendments to Senate Bill 1005A on a concurrence vote, approving a measure that allows businesses to swipe or scan an individual's driver license to confirm age for age‑restricted products and raising the minimum statutory damages for unlawful storage or sharing of scanned license data from $1,000 to $5,000.

Senator Taylor, sponsor of the concurrence motion, told colleagues the bill \"allows businesses to swipe an individual's license for the purpose of confirming their age\" and stressed that \"No business can store the data they get from scanning your license when you try to buy an age restricted product.\" She described the amendment's purpose as enabling compliance with age restrictions while protecting data and urged senators to concur with the House amendment.

Senator Robinson said he supported the underlying age‑verification concept but opposed the increased statutory damages in the amended bill, telling the Senate the $5,000 minimum \"worries me especially since it could be multiplied by the number of cases\" and that it could produce very large liabilities in some circumstances.

Senator Meade spoke in support of the measure, saying the bill would help enforce restrictions on flavored tobacco and other products and ensure merchants verify IDs and the real person accessing a sale.

The Senate roll call recorded 26 ayes and the bill was declared repassed on the concurrence vote. Senator Bonham filed a brief explanation of his vote, noting during committee debate that objections raised were concerns addressed by existing Oregon Revised Statutes governing data use and privacy.

The bill, as adopted, permits license scanning for age verification, leaves in place existing prohibitions on using or storing scanned information for unauthorized purposes, and raises the statutory minimum damages available to individuals whose information is stored, shared, or used illegally.","The Oregon Senate voted to concur with House amendments to Senate Bill 1005A, allowing businesses to scan driver licenses to verify age for restricted purchases and increasing the minimum statutory damages for unlawful data storage or sharing from $1,000 to $5,000.","actionData","errors"]
