Committee advances bill to exempt federally funded R&D centers from public contracting code
Summary
The committee voted to move House Bill 2565A to the Senate floor with a "do pass" recommendation; the bill would exempt National Science Foundation-listed federally funded research and development centers from Oregon's public contracting code.
Miss Oranze provided an overview of House Bill 2565A during a work session, telling the Senate Committee on Veterans, Emergency Management, Federal and World Affairs that the measure “exempts federally funded research and development centers included by the National Science Foundation and the master government list of federally funded R and D centers from the public contracting code.”
Nut graf: Committee members moved the measure to the floor with a due-pass recommendation after a short work session; committee staff told members the bill has no fiscal or revenue impact and became the subject of a roll-call that recorded unanimous support among members present.
Vice Chair Thatcher moved House Bill 2565A to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. The roll call recorded “Aye” votes from Senator Meek, Senator Brock Smith, Vice Chair Dodger and Chair Manning, and the chair announced the bill “is on its way to the floor.” Senator Thatcher was later named as the floor carrier.
Members offered no recorded opposition during the work session. The committee record states the public hearing for HB 2565A occurred on April 15 and staff described no fiscal or revenue impact.
Ending: The committee closed the work session and assigned a Senate carrier for floor consideration; no amendments or dissent were recorded in the work session segment.
