House committee approves tribal data-sharing agreement bill for reportable disease and PDMP information
Summary
Senate Bill 841A would allow federally recognized Oregon tribes and a regional tribal epidemiology center to enter agreements with the Oregon Health Authority to share reportable disease and prescription drug monitoring program data; the committee moved the bill to the House floor on May 20.
The House Committee on Behavioral Health and Health Care voted May 20 to send Senate Bill 841A to the House floor with a "do pass" recommendation.
Committee staff said the bill, requested by the Oregon Health Authority, would allow federally recognized American Indian tribes in Oregon and an affiliated regional tribal epidemiology center to enter agreements with OHA for sharing data on reportable diseases and outbreaks, and for data related to the prescription drug monitoring program. Staff said the measure had no revenue impact and minimal fiscal impact.
There was little discussion at the work session. The committee carried the bill to the floor on a voice/roll call vote and did not identify a volunteer to carry the bill at that time.
