sections 15, 28 and 34, chapter 856, Oregon Laws 2009; and appropriating money.
Whereas almost 70 percent of inmates
in Oregon prisons need treatment for drug and alcohol problems; and
Whereas the number of Oregon eighth
graders who have had an alcoholic drink in the past 30 days is nearly twice the
national average; and
Whereas health care expenditures in
Oregon associated with alcohol and drug abuse were $813 million in 2006; and
Whereas there were 229 overdose deaths
in Oregon in 2008; and
Whereas 56 percent of Oregon parents
whose children are abused and neglected have issues with drug and alcohol
addiction; and
Whereas in 2008, 33 percent of Oregon
traffic fatalities involved alcohol-impaired drivers; and
Whereas alcohol abuse costs Oregon’s
economy $3.2 billion per year, more than eight times the amount of tax revenue
from alcohol sales; and
Whereas although prevention and
recovery are very cost-effective, Oregon’s programs have been consistently
underfunded, leaving tens of thousands of Oregonians without assistance; and
Whereas Oregon does not have a
consistent, rational data collection and accountability system to track funding
and ensure that funds are invested wisely; and
Whereas Oregon has an opportunity to
dramatically improve the well-being of its entire population through effective,
comprehensive evidence-based alcohol and drug abuse prevention programs; and
Whereas many prevention programs in
the state do not follow best practices established through scientifically sound
randomized testing; and
Whereas the state lacks a clear
long-term strategy for prevention and treatment backed by a coordinated
budgeting process; and
Whereas addiction is a chronic disease
and must be treated with a continuum of care; and
Whereas alcohol and drug recovery
services should be founded on evidence-based and tribal-based practices that
are administered with fidelity and also take into consideration the needs of
disparate populations; and
Whereas a recovery-oriented system of
care must include physical and mental health as well as addictions; and
Whereas policies must encourage
collaboration across systems of care so that individuals and their families
receive services that are necessary to recovery; now, therefore,
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:

the planning process requirements of this section. The staff of the state

plan. The agencies shall jointly set a date by which the deficient portions of

that the needs of the county or region it serves differ from those identified
by the state commission, it may ask the state commission to waive specific
requirements in its list of children’s support areas. The process for granting
waivers shall be developed by the state commission prior to the start of the
review and approval process for the local coordinated comprehensive plan
described in ORS 417.735 (4) and shall be based primarily on a determination of
whether the absence of a waiver would prevent the local commission from best
meeting the needs of the county or region.
(14) From time to time, the local
commission may amend the local coordinated comprehensive plan and applications
for funds to implement ORS 417.705 to 417.801 and 419A.170. The local
