Bill > SB424

This bill appropriates funds from the General Fund to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to develop and implement an electronic filing system specifically for records and reports related to the Oregon Death with Dignity Act. The bill provides additional funding for this purpose, separate from any existing appropriations, and specifies that the funding will be allocated for the biennium starting July 1, 2025. The Oregon Death with Dignity Act is a law that allows terminally ill patients to request medication to end their life, and this bill aims to modernize the reporting process by creating an electronic filing system. The bill also includes an emergency clause, which means it is considered urgent and will take effect immediately on July 1, 2025, with the stated purpose of preserving public peace, health, and safety. The specific amount of funding is not specified in the bill text, indicating that the exact dollar amount will be determined separately.
