HB 3110

 

Relating to substance abuse programs; creating new provisions; amending ORS 3.450, 135.980, 137.229, 336.222, 336.235, 351.105, 352.008, 353.120, 409.410, 410.720, 417.775, 423.150, 430.010, 430.240, 430.270, 430.306, 430.335, 430.338, 430.342, 430.345, 430.357, 430.359, 430.364, 430.366, 430.368, 430.380, 430.395, 430.399, 430.420, 430.424, 430.450, 430.540, 430.560, 430.850, 430.860, 430.920, 471.432, 657.665, 660.333, 675.523 and 813.260 and sections 1 and 27, chapter 856, Oregon Laws 2009; repealing ORS 409.420 and 430.290 and 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 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.
