Committee advances bill to require race-disaggregated child-welfare data
Summary
House Bill 3003, sponsored for the Oregon Department of Human Services, would require additional child welfare data in the department's report and mandate disaggregation by race; the committee voted to move the bill to the floor with a due-pass recommendation.
The Senate Committee on Human Services approved a do-pass recommendation for House Bill 3003, which would require the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) to include additional child-welfare data in its statutorily required report and to disaggregate that data by race.
A staff presenter told the committee, “House Bill 3,003 requires the Oregon Department of Human Services to include additional data in its report on child welfare and also requires that that data in the report be disaggregated by race.” The presenter said the bill passed the House 36–14 and carries a minimal fiscal impact and no revenue impact.
There was no substantive discussion or public testimony recorded on the bill in committee; a member noted a typographical confusion in the motion language before Senator Linthicum moved the measure with a due-pass recommendation and the committee recorded its required votes.
The committee closed the work session on HB 3003 after the roll call and assigned a senator to carry the bill to the floor. No amendments, follow-up directions, or public comments were recorded during the session.
