Subject: FW: Who are my key legislators? Checking if I am right

Palmer, Randy is getting ready to send out his notice to key legislators. Do you know who he should include in the notice email. He writes:

I looked at ORS 183 and checking if I am on the right track. The 2011 session had in DEQ’s budget package several fees for the onsite program. So my key legislators would be the chair/co-chairs of either the Ways & Means subcommittee on natural resources (Sen. Chris Edwards, Co-Chair, Rep. E. Terry Beyer, Co-Chair, Rep. Bob Jenson, Co-Chair) or the full W & M (Sen. Richard Devlin, Co-Chair, Rep. Peter Buckley, Co-Chair, Rep. Dennis Richardson, Co-Chair) that approved the budget that gave us the ability to assess fees in this rulemaking.

Are either of those right? The 15(a) would apply and should go to W & M Natural Resource subcommittee.

(15) The notices required under subsections (1) and (3) of this section must be given by the agency to the following persons:

(a) If the proposed adoption, amendment or repeal results from legislation that was passed within two years before notice is given under subsection (1) of this section, notice shall be given to the legislator who introduced the bill that subsequently was enacted into law, and to the chair or co chairs of all committees that reported the bill out, except for those committees whose sole action on the bill was referral to another committee.

(b) If the proposed adoption, amendment or repeal does not result from legislation that was passed within two years before notice is given under subsection (1) of this section, notice shall be given to the chair or co chairs of any interim or session committee with authority over the subject matter of the rule.

Can you help?

Thank you.

Maggie
