423.475 Findings
Status: in_force

The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that:

(1) Passage by the voters of chapter 2, Oregon Laws 1995, has created mandatory minimum penalties for certain violent offenses, and the probable effect thereof will be a significant increase in the demands placed on state secure facilities.

(2) These demands are a shared responsibility of the State of Oregon and its county governments. The state recognizes that it is in a better position than counties to assume responsibility for serious violent offenders and career property offenders.

(3) Counties are willing, in the context of a partnership with the state, to assume responsibility for felony offenders sentenced to a term of incarceration of 12 months or less.

(4) Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the counties agree to assume responsibility for the offenders described in subsection (3) of this section, subject to the state agreeing to provide adequate funding to the counties for this responsibility.

(5) The amendments to statutes made by sections 1a to 5, 7, 8, 9a, 9b, 9c, 10 to 14, 17 to 19 and 22 to 29, chapter 423, Oregon Laws 1995, and the provisions of ORS 423.478 (Duties of department and counties) , 423.483 (Baseline funding) and 423.549 (State positions in community corrections branch) and section 5a, chapter 423, Oregon Laws 1995, are intended to acknowledge and implement the terms of the partnership between the state and the counties.

Status: in_force

(1) The Legislative Assembly declares that it is in the best interest of the people of Oregon for the competing health care systems in this state to come together and find a way to envision the future of health care delivery in this state. The Legislative Assembly therefore declares its intent to exempt from state antitrust laws, and to provide immunity from federal antitrust laws through the state action doctrine, the collaborative activities described in subsection (2) of this section, that might otherwise be constrained by such laws.

(2) The Director of the Oregon Health Authority shall provide a forum for individuals representing all of the vertically integrated, nonprofit health care systems in this state to participate in meaningful and open discussions and engage in a good faith collaboration to create the experimental, prototype health care of tomorrow.

(3) The collaboration must be guided by the following principles:

(a) Health care must be readily accessible throughout every community in this state;

(b) High quality health care must be provided at a cost much lower than the cost of health care today;

(c) The experimental, prototype health care of tomorrow must incorporate innovations that are gathered from the best minds around the world and can be rapidly implemented throughout the delivery system;

(d) The experimental, prototype health care of tomorrow must continuously implement sufficient improvements in health care to completely offset any increases in cost over extended periods of time; and

(e) The nonprofit health care systems participating in the experimental, prototype health care of tomorrow may not be competitors, but must work together in an integrated fashion to maximize their shared social missions.

(4) The director or the director’s designee shall engage in state supervision of the collaboration to ensure that the discussions and activities of the participants in the collaboration are limited to the activities described in this section. [2019 c.194 §1]

Note: 413.257 (Experimental, prototype health care of tomorrow) was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 413 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
