Bill > HB3002

This bill establishes the Task Force on Data Modernization, a nine-member body appointed by the Administrator of the Oregon Advocacy Commissions Office, to conduct a comprehensive review of demographic data reporting across state agencies. The task force will investigate existing legislation related to demographic data (specifically ORS 413.161-413.167), examine similar legislation in other states, and recommend improvements to data collection methods. Key objectives include refining ethnicity data collection to better reveal disparities within minority subgroups, aligning with federal data standards from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, and actively seeking community input. The task force will elect a chairperson, require majority approval for official actions, and must submit a report to an interim legislative committee by December 15, 2026. Members will serve as volunteers without compensation, and state agencies are required to provide assistance. The Oregon Advocacy Commissions Office will provide administrative support, and the task force is authorized to adopt its own operational rules. The bill includes a sunset provision that repeals the task force on December 31, 2026, and will take effect 91 days after the adjournment of the 2025 legislative session.
