MODERATE

The bill was amended to correct a formatting error in the header, remove a redundant line in the summary section, and significantly change task force member compensation from volunteer service to paid positions with expenses covered under existing state law.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding task force operations changed from requiring unpaid volunteer service to providing paid compensation and expense reimbursement to members.

REQUIREMENT

Task force members are now entitled to compensation and expense reimbursement under ORS 292.495 instead of serving as unpaid volunteers.

TECHNICAL

Header was updated from 'HB 2061' to 'A-Eng. HB 2061' to reflect the bill's final amended status.

Summary section was edited to remove the phrase 'as introduced' since the summary now reflects the final amended version of the bill.

Minor formatting corrections were made to the sponsor information line, changing 'Pre-session filed' to 'Presession filed' and adding a closing parenthesis.
