B-Engrossed Enrolled · 3 edits · Mar 10, 2026
MINOR
The bill was finalized in its 'Enrolled' version, removing the 'B-Engrossed' status and the non-binding legislative summary. The core policy text regarding the transfer of the ORVID volunteer database from the Higher Education Coordinating Commission to the Oregon Department of Emergency Management remains substantively unchanged, though the text was reformatted to remove amendment markers.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it still transfers the ORVID database management duties to the Oregon Department of Emergency Management.
TECHNICAL

Removed the 'B-Engrossed' header and the editor's summary digest, as these are procedural elements not present in the final enrolled version of a bill.

Reformatted the bill text to remove amendment markup (bold and bracketed text) and page numbers, resulting in clean, final statutory language.

Added a new Section 7 clarifying that all future legal references to the Higher Education Coordinating Commission regarding this database must now refer to the Oregon Department of Emergency Management.
