SB951 Relating to the practice of health care; and declaring an emergency. AN ACT Relating to the practice of health care; creating new provisions; amending ORS 58.375 and 58.376; and declaring an emergency. Whereas the State of Oregon since 1947 has recognized that a conflict exists between the eco- nomic imperatives of for-profit corporations and other business entities and the need for patient- centered medical care; and Whereas an Oregon Supreme Court decision banned corporations from owning medical practices, practicing medicine or employing physicians for that reason; and Whereas many business entities have sought to circumvent the ban through complex ownership structures, contracting practices and other means, particularly in recent years; and Whereas the State of Oregon must protect the health, safety and welfare of residents of this state by responding to initiatives that threaten to usurp or have the effect of usurping the medical judgment of physicians and other practitioners in this state in favor of cost-cutting and profit- making, often at the expense of and in opposition to the best interests of patients; and Whereas some business entities have sought to silence criticism of their operations and man- agement practices through nondisclosure, noncompetition and nondisparagement agreements and other devices that stifle reporting of and accountability for these operations and practices; and Whereas to protect the best interests of patients in this state, and enable medical practitioners to exercise medical judgment free from interference from those who are not licensed to practice medicine in this state, the Legislative Assembly must prohibit business entities from practicing medicine or employing actively practicing physicians and other practitioners and using noncompe- tition agreements, nondisclosure agreements and nondisparagement agreements to restrict reason- able and honest criticism; now, therefore, Signed/Enacted/Adopted

HB2698 Relating to homeownership goal; and declaring an emergency. AN ACT Relating to homeownership goal; and declaring an emergency. Whereas the majority of Oregonians consider homeownership as a priority; and Whereas family economic well-being does not come solely from income, spending or consump- tion, but instead requires savings, investment and the accumulation of assets; and Whereas it is appropriate for the state to institute an asset-based antipoverty strategy; and Whereas Oregonians struggle to attain homeownership due to chronic underproduction of housing units across this state, low housing inventory and vacancy rates, rapidly increasing housing costs and limited public investment in homeownership programs; and Whereas homeownership provides households, and especially households of limited means, the opportunity to build personal and generational wealth; and Whereas there exist substantial disparities in the rates of homeownership among many commu- nities of color, other marginalized communities and white communities; and Whereas homeownership rate disparities are currently greater than at any time since the pas- sage of the federal Fair Housing Act and exist in part due to policies at all levels of government which, explicitly or in effect, excluded many marginalized communities from homeownership oppor- tunities; and Whereas disparities in homeownership rates are one of the primary drivers of the existing racial wealth gap in the United States; and Whereas increasing homeownership among communities of color is a sound and sustainable strategy to reduce the existing racial wealth gap in this state; and Whereas nationally, home equity is attributable to more than 50 percent of the estimated net worth of Black and Hispanic households and more than 80 percent of the estimated net worth of low-income households; and Whereas homeownership provides households with increased housing stability, especially during periods of financial or economic downturn; and Whereas homeownership is attributable to higher rates of civic and social engagement; and Whereas homeownership contributes to improved physical and mental health outcomes; and Whereas homeownership diminishes household reliance on public assistance; and Whereas children of homeowners, and especially children of low-income homeowners, achieve higher rates of high school graduation and college attendance; and Whereas according to data from the 2023 American Community Survey, the homeownership rate in Oregon in 2023 was 63.4 percent; now, therefore, Enrolled House Bill 2698 (HB 2698-A) Signed/Enacted/Adopted
