Provides that a court shall, in determining aggravating factors at the time of sentencing, consider whether the person was wearing body armor at the time of committing the crime. Makes technical change.\n\n\nUnder ORS 137.080, after a plea or verdict of guilty, in a case where the court has discretion as to the extent ofthe punishment to be inflicted, the court may or, in some circumstances, is required, to consider certain factors in aggravation or mitigation of the punishment. ORS 137.090 outlines certain factors that a court shall consider as aggravating in determining appropriate punishment.\n\n\nConsidering Multnomah County would not charge rioters the last 7 yrs because it couldn\u2019t afford all the court appointed attorneys to do so, how will this help the lawlessness. They want a criminal to submit to being killed while committing a crime. Bullet proof vests aren\u2019t really bullet proof, but generally saves lives. High speed calibers will travel through body armor. Body armor does not allow the criminal to escape. The majority of officers equate the feeling of being hit with body armor by a bullet with the feeling of being hit with a hammer.\n\n\nThe real question is how will this be used against innocent people caught in a disturbance where no guns are involved.\n\n\nYou can\u2019t be against capitol punishment and for this bill.\"\n\n\n--Oregon Citizens Lobby\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">--Oregon Citizens Lobby<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=%22PASSED+SENATE+WITH+AMENDMENT%0A%0A%0A%EF%BB%BFAmendment+%E2%80%93+Replaces+the+measure.+Provides+that+a+court+shall%2C+in+determining+aggravating+factors+at+the+time+of+sentencing%2C+consider+whether+the+person+was+wearing+body+armor+at+the+time+of+committing+the+crime.+Makes+technical+change.%0A%0A%0AUnder+ORS+137.080%2C+after+a+plea+or+verdict+of+guilty%2C+in+a+case+where+the+court+has+discretion+as+to+the+extent+ofthe+punishment+to+be+inflicted%2C+the+court+may+or%2C+in+some+circumstances%2C+is+required%2C+to+consider+certain+factors+in+aggravation+or+mitigation+of+the+punishment.+ORS+137.090+outlines+certain+factors+that+a+court+shall+consider+as+aggravating+in+determining+appropriate+punishment.%0A%0A%0AConsidering+Multnomah+County+would+not+charge+rioters+the+last+7+yrs+because+it+couldn%E2%80%99t+afford+all+the+court+appointed+attorneys+to+do+so%2C+how+will+this+help+the+lawlessness.+They+want+a+criminal+to+submit+to+being+killed+while+committing+a+crime.+Bullet+proof+vests+aren%E2%80%99t+really+bullet+proof%2C+but+generally+saves+lives.+High+speed+calibers+will+travel+through+body+armor.+Body+armor+does+not+allow+the+criminal+to+escape.+The+majority+of+officers+equate+the+feeling+of+being+hit+with+body+armor+by+a+bullet+with+the+feeling+of+being+hit+with+a+hammer.%0A%0A%0AThe+real+question+is+how+will+this+be+used+against+innocent+people+caught+in+a+disturbance+where+no+guns+are+involved.%0A%0A%0AYou+can%E2%80%99t+be+against+capitol+punishment+and+for+this+bill.%22%0A%0A%0A--Oregon+Citizens+Lobby+%E2%80%94+--Oregon+Citizens+Lobby&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fightfororegon.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F830\" class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-button\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-label\">Tweet<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bac6ef5 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bac6ef5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/oregoncitizenslobby.org\/law-enforce-military\/sb-618-increases-sentence-for-wearing-body-armor\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Oregon Citizens Lobby in Opposition<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d46bb56 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d46bb56\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5fae95b\" data-id=\"5fae95b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bcf5b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2bcf5b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b><u>CONTACT COMMITTEE:<\/u><\/b><br><\/span><a style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;

However, -1 amendment stops all operations upon renewal of license until adequate study is completed and addressed through laws and rules. It is written as if the study was already shown to need restrictions, so any study will be geared towards controlling CAFO, and not an objective study of what they are already doing right.\n\n\nDirects the Department of Environmental Quality and the State Department of Agriculture to not issue or renew a license or permit to allow the construction or operation of new industrial CAFO, additions or expansion of existing CAFO, or additions or expansions of existing livestock farm that would cause it to become an industrial CAFO.\n\n\nThe definition of CAFO would apply to any large farming operation. The supporters of this bill do not understand farming operations or how much this would impact the food chain. Food prices are high now, this bill affects beef, pork, dairy, chickens, laying hens, turkeys, ducks, milk, cheese, eggs and all the by-products.\n\n\nAny study restricting farming practices will have a domino effect on the economy, impacting low income and homeless the hardest.\"\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\"> --Oregon Citizens Lobby<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=%22This+bill+was+originally+introduced+as+requiring+the+State+Department+of+Agriculture+to+study+confined+animal+feeding+operations+%28CAFO%29%2C+and+to+submit+findings+to+Legislature.+However%2C+-1+amendment+stops+all+operations+upon+renewal+of+license+until+adequate+study+is+completed+and+addressed+through+laws+and+rules.+It+is+written+as+if+the+study+was+already+shown+to+need+restrictions%2C+so+any+study+will+be+geared+towards+controlling+CAFO%2C+and+not+an+objective+study+of+what+they+are+already+doing+right.%0A%0A%0ADirects+the+Department+of+Environmental+Quality+and+the+State+Department+of+Agriculture+to+not+issue+or+renew+a+license+or+permit+to+allow+the+construction+or+operation+of+new+industrial+CAFO%2C+additions+or+expansion+of+existing+CAFO%2C+or+additions+or+expansions+of+existing+livestock+farm+that+would+cause+it+to+become+an+industrial+CAFO.%0A%0A%0AThe+definition+of+CAFO+would+apply+to+any+large+farming+operation.+The+supporters+of+this+bill+do+not+understand+farming+operations+or+how+much+this+would+impact+the+food+chain.+Food+prices+are+high+now%2C+this+bill+affects+beef%2C+pork%2C+dairy%2C+chickens%2C+laying+hens%2C+turkeys%2C+ducks%2C+milk%2C+cheese%2C+eggs+and+all+the+by-products.%0A%0A%0AAny+study+restricting+farming+practices+will+have+a+domino+effect+on+the+economy%2C+impacting+low+income+and+homeless+the+hardest.%22%0A%0A+%E2%80%94++--Oregon+Citizens+Lobby&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fightfororegon.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F830\" class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-button\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-label\">Tweet<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df13ad9 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"df13ad9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Downloads\/PublicTestimonyDocument\/83323\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Oregon Cattlemen's Assoc.

They can look at a calendar and they know when they will need to get their bills to the floor in time to eviscerate gun rights in Oregon.\n\n\n\u201cDemocrats insist they are not concerned about running out of time to pass their priorities before a mandatory June 25 adjournment.\u201d\n\n\n\u201cIn the House, Rayfield on Wednesday agreed to delay a vote on House Bill 2005, a bill to outlaw so-called ghost guns, increase the age to possess many guns to 21, and potentially increase the number of public places where concealed handguns are prohibited. In exchange for postponing a vote on the bill to early May, Republicans agreed to ease up on delay maneuvers that some in the party had touted earlier in the day.\u201d\n\n\n\u201cThese are delay tactics,\u201d said Lieber, a Portland Democrat, \u201cand it\u2019s not going to interfere with the Democratic agenda.\u201d\n\n\nNow is not the time to relax. Most people have told us they are getting NO response from leadership to their requests that they do their job. It doesn\u2019t matter. They don\u2019t have to return your calls or emails. They just have to get them.\n\n\nRemember, they have many ways to filter and ignore emails. But even if your calls go to a voice mail, someone has to listen to at least part of them before they can file them away. So don\u2019t stop calling and reminding Tim Knopp and Vikki Breese Iverson that long after they have forgotten, you will remember.\n\n\n\n\nSenator Tim Knopp\n\n503-986-1727\n\n\nRepresentative Vikki
