MODERATE
This bill was amended to clarify that the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is the primary entity responsible for working with tribes to adopt data collection standards, while removing the Department of Human Services (ODHS) from the primary directive in the summary. The text was also updated to specify that data collection standards should be used for evaluating health-related outcomes and to streamline the review process for updating these standards.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed in the summary to focus primarily on OHA rather than OHA and ODHS, though the core legislative text largely remains focused on OHA's responsibilities for tribal data standards.
REQUIREMENT

The summary was changed to direct OHA alone to work with tribes on data collection rules, removing ODHS from the primary directive.

Added language specifying that data collection standards should be used for evaluating health-related outcomes.

Consolidated the review and update requirements for data standards into a single provision.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting and text adjustments throughout the document, including changes to section headers and line numbering.
