workers early notice of
scheduling changes, The
Oregonian reported.
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.

PORTLAND (AP)
— Oregon’s Democratic
lawmakers say they will be
tackling a new workplace
issue next year: a practice
they’re calling “lexible
scheduling.”
“It’s going to be a big
deal,” said Sen. Michael
Dembrow, a Portland
Democrat who took up the
issue Thursday, the second
day of Capitol hearings meant
to shape next year’s agenda.
Dembrow says he plans
to introduce legislation in
2017 that would require
some employers to give

SACRAMENTO, Calif.
(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.

Hansell proposes voluntary ‘REAL ID’ option
SALEM — A proposal by an Oregon
lawmaker would give Oregonians a
voluntary path to upgrading their driv-
er’s license to national standards.
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.
The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and
