Whereas Oregon has a high population of individuals who report living with mental illness, and who need mental health and substance use disorder treatment; and Whereas the Oregon Legislative Assembly finds that the increase in fentanyl and methamphet- amine use has led to an increase in individuals who need a higher level of mental health and sub- stance use disorder care; and Whereas the United States and Oregon Constitutions protect the rights of defendants in the criminal justice system and defendants must be mentally fit to proceed in their criminal cases, and if a defendant is not fit to proceed because of a mental illness, the case must be paused until the defendant is restored to fitness; and Whereas there has been a steady increase in the number of individuals in the last several years who are found not fit to proceed, or “unable to aid and assist” in their own defense; and Whereas many of these individuals who are charged with a crime and determined to be unable to aid and assist in their own defense who are referred to the Oregon State Hospital for care are not admitted within seven days, as required by a federal court order; and Whereas the population of individuals admitted to the Oregon State Hospital has shifted to in- creasing numbers of aid and assist patients rather than guilty except for insanity and civilly com- mitted patients; and Whereas increased demand for restoration services for defendants at the Oregon State Hospital has limited the beds available for individuals obtaining treatment through civil commitment; and Whereas ensuring the rights of defendants to timely transportation to a therapeutic setting for restoration treatment will require significant financial investments and strategic initiatives from the state; and Whereas the state must protect the rights of victims of crime and ensure improved public safety; and Whereas public safety improves when individuals can access mental health treatment and ser- vices within the criminal justice system, the Oregon State Hospital and the community; and Whereas protecting the rights of defendants while ensuring public safety requires solutions of many different types and the recognition that one idea will not solve this problem; and Enrolled House Bill 2005 (HB 2005-C) Whereas the three branches of Oregon’s government are committed to ongoing efforts, both in statute and in budget allocations, to solving this ongoing dilemma; and Whereas the Oregon Legislative Assembly has determined that additional treatment capacity is critical to support Oregonians in need of mental health and substance use disorder treatment and has committed increased funding to support additional treatment capacity; and Whereas it is the intention of the Oregon Legislative Assembly to increase support and capacity for individuals needing mental health and substance use disorder care and treatment, and to reduce the delay in admittance experienced by defendants needing restoration services at the Oregon State Hospital; now, therefore, | Passed |

Whereas Ruby Nell Bridges was born to Abon and Lucille Bridges on September 8, 1954, in Tylertown, Mississippi; and Whereas Ruby was born in the immediate wake of Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled on May 17, 1954, that racial segregation in school was unconstitutional; and Whereas the southern states were vehemently opposed to integration, and when Ruby’s family relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1959, she attended a segregated kindergarten; and Whereas in 1960, Ruby was one of six Black children in Louisiana to pass a test to determine whether they could attend the previously all-white William Frantz Elementary School, and ulti- mately she was the only Black child who chose to attend the school that year; and Whereas Ruby made history on November 14, 1960, when she walked to William Frantz Ele- mentary School flanked by four deputy U.S. marshals, the first Black child in the south to attend a previously all-white school; and Whereas Ruby’s brave walk that day was immortalized by Norman Rockwell in his iconic 1964 painting, The Problem We All Live With; and Whereas though Ruby’s life as a student continued to be fraught with blatant racism and threats of violence, she never missed a single day of school; and Whereas Ruby Bridges has been a tireless advocate for change throughout her life, and through the Ruby Bridges Foundation, speaking engagements and her series of children’s books, she contin- ues to strive for an end to racism; and Whereas the United States education system has progressed immensely from that November day 65 years ago, but racism still plagues the school experience for students in Oregon and throughout the United States; and Whereas Salem-Keizer Safe Routes to School honors the impact Ruby Bridges has had on the United States education system through its participation in Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day, a nationwide day of dialogue for students, families, school staff and community members to confront racism and bullying head on; now, therefore, | Signed/Enacted/Adopted |

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 |

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 |
