Bill > HB2750

This bill establishes the Task Force on Improving Safety in Health Care Settings, a 15-member committee composed of state legislators and gubernatorial appointees representing various health care and public safety sectors, including hospitals, home health agencies, home hospice programs, direct care staff (both union and non-union representatives), and professionals from law enforcement, district attorney's offices, and public defender's offices. The task force is charged with developing strategies to eliminate workplace violence in health care settings and will be required to submit a report with potential legislative recommendations to the Legislative Assembly's interim health care committees by December 15, 2026. The Oregon Health Authority will provide administrative support for the task force, and while legislative members will serve in an advisory capacity, other members will volunteer their time without compensation. The task force will have the ability to elect a chairperson, establish its own operational rules, and requires a majority vote for official actions. The bill also includes a sunset provision, with the task force being automatically repealed on December 31, 2027, and mandates that state agencies assist the task force by providing necessary information and support.
