It’s not clear yet which companies would be covered by the proposal, but it would likely be similar to laws in Seattle and San Francisco. Those cities require companies with 500 or more employees to provide two weeks’ notice of scheduling changes. In Seattle, employers must also provide compensation. Getting buy-in from businesses might take some work, however. When lawmakers tried to hold a work group on the idea earlier this year, every business interest walked away at the irst meeting. The Oregon Farm Bureau, Oregon Trucking Associ- ation, Associated Oregon Industries, Northwest Grocery Association and Portland Business Alliance all signed a June 1 letter withdrawing from the group. Portland changes 600 restrooms to gender-neutral PORTLAND (AP) — About 600 city bathrooms will become “all-user” on Friday with signs designating female and male replaced with signs that show a toilet. The Oregonian reports the new signs show what’s behind the door and not who should be using the facility, according to city oficials. Portland City Commissioner Nick Fish proposed the change in December 2015 after he says people from across Portland asked for it. The new signs will make the restrooms accessible to parents with young children, people with personal attendants and transgender people. Flowers • Candles Jewelry • Plants Balloons & More!

(AP) — The utility that owns four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River in Oregon and California is beginning the formal process to tear them down. PaciiCorp petitioned the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Friday to transfer ownership of the dams to a new nonproit, which separately requested permission to decommission them. The regulatory ilings are the result of a landmark agreement earlier this year to allow salmon to return to hundreds of miles of the Klamath River in what federal oficials call one of the largest river restoration projects in U.S. history. The agreement also protects farmers and ranchers from rising power and water prices as various interests work to end long-running water wars in the drought- stricken Klamath basin.

Oregonians could be barred from boarding commercial domestic lights using their state driver’s license in 2018, unless lawmakers take action next session to comply with a federal mandate for more stringent identiication criteria. Sen. Bill Hansell, R-Athena, said he plans to submit legislation for next session that would allow individual Oregonians to choose whether to comply with the federal REAL ID law. “If you don’t want it for whatever reason, if you think it’s an intrusion into your privacy, if you feel it is an intrusion of the federal government into your personal affairs, you don’t have to do it,” Hansell said. The state Legislature passed a law in 2009 that prohibits state oficials from spending money to comply with the federal law unless the federal govern- ment reimburses the state for the cost. Lawmakers Hansell also had privacy concerns about some of the federal requirements. Oregon is one 27 states that don’t comply with the federal standards. Complying with REAL ID law would cost the state about $2 million initially and about $1 million annually to maintain, said Tom McClellan, administrator for the Oregon Depart- ment of Motor Vehicles. The state already has received three extensions for complying with the law. The last extension expires Oct. 10. “Oregon is unlikely to secure an additional extension without immedi- ately assuring the federal government that Oregon will attempt action during the next legislative session — namely, take steps to remove barriers to and make progress toward REAL ID compliance,” McClellan wrote in a memo to lawmakers. If the state is denied another exten- sion, Oregonians will no longer be able to use their state driver’s license to enter nuclear facilities, military bases and certain other federal facilities. The federal government’s schedule for phasing in the law sets January 2018 as the deadline for having a REAL ID to board commercial domestic lights. Travelers will then have to use a passport or other federally approved form of ID to board commercial domestic lights. Judge threatens to hold Bundy lawyer in contempt PORTLAND (AP) — U.S. District Judge Anna Brown warned Ammon Bundy’s lawyer that she will hold him in contempt of court if he keeps trying to bring up Robert “LaVoy” Finicum’s death in front of jurors. Police fatally shot the occupation spokesman Jan. 26 during a trafic stop north of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The judge has repeatedly said this trial is about whether Bundy and his co-defendants engaged in a conspiracy during last winter’s armed occupation of the refuge. The judge told Bundy lawyer Marcus Mumford on Thursday that she will ine him $1,000 each time he raises the Finicum issue while questioning witnesses. “I have ruled on this issue and it appears to me you disregard it,” Brown told him while jurors were away. “Do you understand what I’m saying ... yes or no?” the judge asked. “I don’t understand. Your honor says I’m asking improper questions?” Mumford said. The judge reminded Mumford that he had just tried to question a rancher whose property is adjacent to the refuge about the Finicum shooting. “You are not to do that,” Brown said. “You’re telling me I’m allowed to inquire about the shooting, but not the circum- stances of the shooting?” Mumford asked. Brown reminded Mumford that he can’t mention anything about the Finicum shooting, beyond that it occurred and the date. “I can understand the words,” Mumford said. “I hope you can comply,” the judge replied. The trial resumes Monday after a three-day weekend. The government plans to conclude its case by Tuesday afternoon. Defense lawyers are expected to present their side starting on Wednesday. Corrections A brief that ran Friday included an incorrect date for Cleaner Air Oregon’s regional forum. It is Wednesday, Sept. 28, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Pendleton Convention Center.
