Committee sends Senate Bill 9‑89 to Senate President, asking referral to Rules after brief approval
Summary
Senate Bill 9‑89, which would permit a parent or guardian to admit a child to an inpatient treatment facility (with specified conditions), was moved out of the Senate Human Services Committee without recommendation and the committee requested the Senate President refer it to the Committee on Rules.
Committee staff summarized Senate Bill 9‑89 on April 8 as a measure that would permit a parent or guardian to admit a child, with or without the child’s consent, to an inpatient treatment facility or program licensed by the Oregon Health Authority or the Department of Human Services for mental, emotional or behavioral health treatment or for substance use disorder treatment.
The summary noted the bill specifies conditions for admission and discharge, provides certain exceptions, and would require the Oregon Health Authority and the Department of Human Services to publish information online about available providers and resources for parents and guardians seeking treatment for a minor child. Committee staff said the measure carries a minimal fiscal effect and no revenue impact.
Senator Linthicum moved to send SB 9‑89 without recommendation to the Senate President and asked that it be referred to the Committee on Rules. The roll was called and senators recorded votes of Aye from Senators Nash, Brzezinski, Reynolds, Vice Chair Linthicum, and Chair Gelserboom; the motion received the required votes and passed.
The committee closed the SB 9‑89 work session following the vote.
