Portland code offi cers will allow
Voters will
RVs, tiny homes on private property decide on new
health care tax
By AMELIA
TEMPLETON
Oregon Public
Broadcasting
Portland is taking a new
approach to RVs and tiny
homes placed on private prop-
erty. The city’s building code
bureau will limit its efforts to
enforce the rules against them.
Commissioner
Chloe
Eudaly manages the Bureau
of Development Services and
announced the change this
week. Eudaly said she has
asked code enforcement offi -
cers to “deprioritize” enforce-
ment against tiny homes and
RVs “effective immediately.”
The policy doesn’t apply
to RVs parked on city streets.
Those can still be towed. But
the city’s code enforcement
offi cers won’t go after tents,
RVs or tiny homes on private
property with the owner’s
permission.
Eudaly said she intends
to continue the policy for the
duration of the city’s hous-
ing emergency. She has also
asked staff to work on a pro-
posed code change that would
permanently allow tiny homes
on private property. Such a
change would be subject to
approval by the City Council.
Eudaly’s
spokesman,
David Austin, said the changes
will make it easier for people
who own property to help out
friends or family members
who’ve become homeless.
“It’s everybody’s problem,
and we all need to be coming
up with solutions,” he said.
“Gone are the days of every-
body thinking the stereotyp-
ical homeless person is hold-
ing a bottle and standing out
on a street corner. We’re
talking about families (that)
are impacted by this, kids are
impacted by this.”
Residential properties will
be allowed to host one tent or
RV. Churches and business
will be allowed up to three.
In theory, the new policy
could also allow up to three
RVs or tents on city prop-
erty. Austin said it will be up
to individual city bureaus that
own land to decide whether to
allow it.
The Bureau of Develop-
ment Services has posted
the guidelines they will use
to determine when and if to
respond to complaints about
tiny homes and RVs on pri-
vate property.
Property owners are
responsible for making san-
itary facilities available for
tiny homes and RVs, and for
providing extension cords for
electricity. Generators are not
allowed.
White House action ups insurance rates in Oregon
By ANDREW SELSKY
Associated Press
SALEM — Oregon’s busi-
ness regulator has ordered
health insurance compa-
nies linked to the Affordable
Care Act to increase rates to
some of their customers in
2018 because President Don-
ald Trump halted payments to
insurers under the Obama-era
health care law, a move that
several states including Ore-
gon said they’d fi ght in court.
Trump’s action would
halt $49 million worth of
cost-sharing reduction pay-
ments by the federal govern-
ment to Oregon insurance
companies, according to Ore-
gon’s Department of Con-
sumer and Business Services.
Jean Straight, acting direc-
tor of the agency, said Fri-
day that while Oregonians’
2017 plan rates and bene-
fi ts won’t change through the
end of this year, some will see
increases in 2018 to compen-
sate for Trump’s action.
“These rate increases are
necessary to ensure the sta-
bility of the health insurance
market,” Straight said.
The agency said in a state-
ment: “In order to ensure car-
riers can continue to offer
coverage in Oregon, DCBS is
ordering health insurance
companies offering plans on
HealthCare.gov to increase
their already approved silver
metal tier 2018 plan rates by
7.1 percent.”
There are about 117,000
enrollees in silver plans,
though not every one of
those plans will increase,
said agency spokesman Jake
Sunderland. Silver metal tier
plans are the only plans that
have cost-sharing reductions.
The CSRs, as they’re known,
are offered to middle-income
consumers and have lower
maximum out-of-pocket lim-
its, deductibles, co-pays, and
co-insurance.
About 50,000 Oregonians
were enrolled in cost-shar-
ing reduction plans. It was
not immediately clear how
many Oregonians would be
subjected to the rate increase,
or what the average dollar
amounts would be.
Those under the bronze
and gold plans will remain
unaffected, the agency said.
Health insurance com-
panies that sell plans on
HealthCare.gov — the web-
site created as part of former
President Barack Obama’s
Affordable Care Act where
people can buy insurance
plans and get fi nancial assis-
tance — can still sell plans
off of HealthCare.gov. If the
carrier participates on Health-
Care.gov, they will have to
increase silver plan rates,
Sunderland said.
Oregon Attorney Gen-
eral Ellen Rosenblum blasted
Trump’s action as “a rash,
ill-conceived decision that
will have a devastating
impact on many vulnerable
Oregonians.”
“These ACA subsidies are
a vital funding source that
keep insurance premiums
manageable,”
Rosenblum
said in a statement.

SALEM — A special
election will be held to
determine the fate of a mul-
timillion-dollar health care
tax that was approved by
the Legislature this year.
The Oregon Secretary of
State’s offi ce said Monday
there were enough valid
signatures to qualify Ref-
erendum 301 for a special
election to be held Jan. 23.
Election offi cials say of the
84,367 signatures submit-
ted, 70,320 were deemed
valid. The required num-
ber of signatures to qualify
for a ballot measure is just
under 59,000.

PUBLIC NOTICE
ALL ABOARD AMAZING
Join AAA Travel and guest, Aaron
makers are pushing the ref-
erendum on House Bill
2391 — which imposes
a new 1.5 percent tax on
health plans provided by
some insurers as well as
coordinated-care organi-
zations that facilitate the
state’s Medicaid program,
called the Oregon Health
Plan.
State Reps. Julie Par-
ish, Cedric Hayden and Sal
Esquivel say the new taxes
on hospitals and insurers
would ultimately be shifted
to consumers.
Proponents of the bill
say it protects health care
for 350,000 Oregonians and
keeps premiums low for
another 250,000.
