Committee advances bill to transfer statewide disaster volunteer database to emergency management
Summary
The Public Safety committee approved an amendment and moved House Bill 4,033 to the full committee with a 'do pass' recommendation; the bill transfers the Oregon Volunteers in Disaster (ORVID) database to the Oregon Department of Emergency Management and includes a $32,600 appropriation for subscription costs for the remainder of the 2025–27 biennium.
The Public Safety committee moved House Bill 4,033 to the full committee with a 'do pass' recommendation after adopting a fiscal amendment that adds a $32,600 General Fund appropriation for the statewide disaster volunteer system.
LFO staff summarized the measure as a transfer of the Oregon Volunteers in Disaster (ORVID) database from the Higher Education Coordinating Commission to the Oregon Department of Emergency Management, saying the shift would align administrative responsibility with the agency that most directly uses the system. The LFO also described the -A2 amendment as covering the subscription cost for the remainder of the 2025–27 biennium.
A committee member moved adoption of the -A2 amendment; the LFO recommended adoption and the Co-chair asked for objections. There were no objections and the amendment was carried. The committee then voted by voice to move the amended bill to the Ways and Means full committee with a 'do pass' recommendation.
The Co-chair named carriers to carry the bill to the full committee and to the chambers. The motion passed by voice; the transcript records one member as excused during the vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the hearing transcript.
Next steps: House Bill 4,033 will be forwarded to the Ways and Means full committee for further consideration.
