Kulongoski has signed 10 pieces of legisla- tion designed to protect the environment, ensure safe construction for new homes, and prevent dis- crimination in housing. Additionally, to en- hance penalties for drunken drivers, increase Oregon’s emergency management preparedness and prevent domestic violence, the gov- ernor has signed: SB 420 to create the Environmental Justice Task Force, charged with work- ing with state agencies to better educate low-income Oregonians and minority populations on the develop- ment, implementation and enforcement of environ- mental laws, regulations and policies. This legislation “ensures the fair environ- mental involvement of all Oregonians regardless of race, age, gender, national origin, education or income level.” HB 2112 to prohibit the use of barrier-type exterior insulation and finish, such as synthetic stucco, in new construction for all homes and buildings.

HB 3186 requiring landlords who are convert- ing apartments into condo- miniums to give tenants additional information in their 120-day notice of a pending conversion. Additionally, it prohib- its landlords from evicting tenants without cause during the 120-day notice period and prohibits unscheduled rent increases during this forcement from five days to 72 hours of coming into contact with a motor vehicle accident victim whose blood test reveals an alcohol con- tent above the legal limit. HB 2740 enhances pen- alties for repeat impaired drivers that cause death or serious injury. Under this new offense, an impaired driver with previous convic- tions for first- or second- degree manslaughter or a prior conviction for crimi- nally negligent homicide conviction based on DUII triggers a 240-month man- datory minimum sentence. SB 946 improves em- ployment protections for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. It ex- pands unpaid leave to vic- tims of domestic violence or sexual assault who are ob- taining legal help, law en- forcement assistance, re- ceiving medical attention or the services of a domestic violence shelter, or rape cri- sis center, psychological counseling or relocation. HB 2961 sets a $10 fil- ing fee for certain domestic relations pleadings to go into the Domestic Violence Clinical Legal Education Account. The revenue from the account will help fund legal clinics at University of Oregon at Eugene and, Wil- lamette and Lewis & Clark law schools in Salem to pro- vide civil legal services to victims of domestic vio- lence, stalking or sexual assault. HB 2370: Under this legislation, the functions of the Office of Oregon Emergency Management (OEM) are transferred to the Oregon Military Dept. Ad- ditionally, this bill desig- nates OEM as sole agency of the state of Ore- gon for negotiating agree- ments with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security. County seeks four staffers It’s hoped that a re- placement for Kent Granat, the county’s human re- sources officer, will be on board by Oct. 1, said Marie Hill, Josephine County’s chief operating officer. She outlined the situa- tion to the county board of commissioners during their morning meeting in Grants Pass Wednesday, Aug. 22. Hill told the board that the county also is seeking employees to fill vacancies for a planner 2, a planner 3 and a senior planner. Each position, she said, involves gradations of experience and training. The county is actively advertising to fill all four jobs, Hill said. “We’re ask- ing the public to be patient, as we’re short-staffed in the planning department,” said the top executive. Regarding Granat’s post, Hill said that the title might be revised to “personnel manager,” rather than human resources offi- cer. The tentative plan, to effect “a seamless change,” involves getting his replace- ment on the job by Oct. 1. Granat, who has been with the county since 2000, has resigned and plans to move to Idaho.
