Measure 11 is a law designed to assure that dangerous juvenile offenders are removed from society. It is designed to make the citizens of Oregon feel safer by taking the most violent juvenile offenders out of circulation and locking them up for a long time. Robbery II: You, alone or with a friend, want someone's baseball cap. You either pretend to have a weapon or threaten to beat the owner up. Upon conviction for Robbery II you and your friend go to prison for 5 years and 10 months.

A person can provide a copy of their Oregon Driver License, a voter registration card, an Oregon income tax return, a dated rental agreement showing your residence, a current utility bill with your name and address on it, or any other documentation that may be deemed appropriate by the administering insurer, RBCBSO.

The greatest impact of the Oregon Death with Dignity Law may lie in the peace of mind it provides those who will never use it but who know it is an available choice available. Many more lethal prescriptions are requested under the law than are used.

Oregon's legal limits for blood alcohol levels are consistent with national standards. You will fail the breath test if it shows your blood alcohol level is .08 percent or higher (if you are 21 years of age or older), or a blood alcohol content of any amount (if you are under 21 years of age). In some states there is a more strict punishment for those convicted of DUI with a particularly high blood-alcohol content at the moment of arrest; this is usually .15 to .20 percent above the legal limit.

A. Yes. The state has the Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA). However, in most cases, OFLA leave also qualifies as FMLA leave. If leave qualifies under both the FMLA and OFLA, its use is counted against both entitlements so employees are not eligible for more time off under OFLA.

Ionization smoke alarms sold in Oregon are required to have the hush feature. Only solely battery-powered ionization alarms sold in Oregon must be packaged and sold with a ten-year battery. Photoelectric alarms are exempt from this requirement. Smoke detectors for fire alarm systems do not require the hush feature and ten-year battery, either.

The Bush Administration is attempting to use the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) to overturn the Oregon law. Congress passed the CSA specifically to (1) ban the use and trafficking of illegal drugs and (2) regulate the use of legal narcotics for approved medical purposes. The CSA does not apply to the Death with Dignity Act because the Oregon law specifies only the use of legal narcotics for physician-assited dying.

The strength of the Oregon law lies in its very strict and specific guidelines, which leave nothing to guesswork or interpretation. The three main reasons other states hope to replicate Oregon's law are because: The Oregon law ensures that the patient – and no one else – is the driving force, the ultimate and conscious decision maker in the process. No.

The Oregon Department of Human Services has no reports of individuals moving to the state in order to avail themselves of the law, which requires persons who are terminally ill to be legal residents of the State of Oregon.

Physicians who do not comply with reporting requirements under the Death with Dignity Law forfeit protection under the law's safe harbor provision and are subject to prosecution. Ongoing studies by the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Health Sciences University indicate that far more lethal medications are prescribed under the Oregon law than are ultimately used -- futher proving that the law is much scrutinized and seldom used.

Yes. Offenders with crimes prior to November 1, 1989, are released from prison to "parole." Offenders with crimes committed on or after November 1, 1989, are released to a period of "post-prison supervision" following a prison term under the sentencing guidelines laws.

If the tank is no longer in use, the contents of the tank must be pumped out. Oregon law does not require property owners to decommission or test residential tanks for leaks. If the tank has leaked, or is suspected to be leaking, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) must be notified. DEQ will require the property owner to have a cleanup performed. If you are selling your home, Oregon law requires you to disclose the presence of an underground oil tank to the buyer.

A:November 6, 2001: U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft issues a directive which states, in part, that prescribing, dispensing or administering federally controlled substances to assist suicide violates the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). This new interpretation of the CSA allows the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to pursue action to revoke prescription-writing privileges and to pursue federal criminal prosecution of participating Oregon physicians.

This is a common and completely false claim.  The simple fact is that Oregonians would not have voted for a loosely written, open-ended law. The law’s multiple safeguards specifically require and guarantee direct patient involvement. In direct contrast, euthanasia is a loose, ambiguous concept that often implies a person's involuntary death.

The law enforcement officer has a primary responsibility to protect the child. The officer will interview the parents/caregivers and child and will gather information based on the interviews, physical evidence and information from other sources such as medical and school records. When instances of serious abuse and crimes occur, the parent/caregiver is arrested and the case if referred by law enforcement to the district attorney for criminal prosecution.

There is no minimum residency requirement. A patient must be able to establish that s/he is currently a resident of Oregon.

Each year SOLV provides resources to communities throughout Oregon, focusing on cleanup, beautification and enhancement projects. There are SOLV projects in every county in Oregon. SOLV creates an average of 85,000 volunteer opportunities across the state annually. For every $1.00 donated to SOLV each year since 1997, Oregon has received $10.46 in volunteer service. For more information please see our Valuation of Services.

Not at all. Heroines on the Walk will be women who have inspired the donors honoring them. The Walk is a community-based project and we expect that most donors will come from the metro area. However, the Walk is open to any donor who wants to honor a heroine.

UIFSA (Uniform Interstate Family Support Act) is a law regulating the establishment and enforcement of child support orders where the parents live in different states or where the support order is in a state other than where either of the parents live.

In late 2003, Congress passed and President Bush signed into law the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003," the first federal ban on abortions. The act would prohibit a wide range of abortions performed in the second trimester. This law is not about abortions performed late in pregnancy. Forty states and the District of Columbia already ban third-trimester abortions except when the life or health of the woman is at stake.

of January 1, 2005, charities that accept donations of vehicles, trucks, boats, and airplanes — and later sell these donated items — will be subject to additional reporting requirements. Charities will be required to disclose in writing, to each donor and to the IRS, the gross proceeds raised from the sale of their donated vehicle when the vehicle is sold for $500.00 or more.

The law will not affect donors who do not itemize on their taxes. Donors who do itemize their taxes will no longer carry the burden of determining the value for their donation. Instead, they will receive a verifiable written receipt from the charity, which will document the gross proceeds of the donated vehicle valued at $500.00 or more. Donors are encouraged to speak to their tax advisors for more information.

Washington’s medical marijuana law (Chapter 69.51A RCW) was enacted by voters in 1998 as an initiative. It allows doctors to legally recommend medical marijuana to patients for some medical conditions. Under state law, patients may possess a 60-day supply of medical marijuana if it is based on a doctor’s written recommendation. However, a 60-day supply has not yet been defined in law or rule.

The law does not apply to contracts entered into prior to September 1, 2004 even if the contract was performed in whole or in part after September 1, 2004.

Yup, it seems that almost everywhere in the world riding your bicycle naked is illegal — but still we do it !!! Picture at left is from a past Artists for Peace Nekked bike ride in Vancouver, BC. Click on image for larger view. Most of the nekkid rides that we have done in Vancouver, have been, well pretty much Nekkkidd, but Vancouver is a lot more tolerant than say Beijing or Riyadh. Alanis Morissette attacks "U.S.

The person in control of any of the above facilities must post signs banning smoking in their establishment and remove all smoking paraphernalia (i.e. ashtrays). For more information visit the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act section of the Southern Nevada Health District's website.

The Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act does not apply to gaming areas of casinos. Smoking is still allowed in casino gaming establishments, unless the operator of such facilities assigns separate rooms or areas within the establishment as nonsmoking. For example, many casinos now voluntarily offer smoke-free poker rooms.

There are very few organizations/businesses that this law does not apply to.

The law says that anyone who purchases a copy of software has the right to load that copy onto a single computer and to make another copy "for archival purposes only" or, in limited circumstances, for "purposes only of maintenance or repair." It is illegal to use that software on more than one computer or to make or distribute copies of that software for any other purpose unless specific permission has been obtained from the software publisher.
