44. HB 3106 Passed June 2009, effective July 1, 2009 Identified 7 specific positional members and 7 representative slots for community appointees Overarching Purpose – create a Task Force on Nearshore Research to make recommendationson “a long-term funding and coordination strategy for implementing the nearshore priorities of the state.”

45. Notes about HB 3106 Conceived by Rep Roblan and others to address the needs for coordinated and trusted nearshore research in Oregon, specifically: How to use data and science to inform Oregon in moving forward Trusted protocols for data collection and use of data and science in decisions Process for data transparency, credibility and sharing Effective collaboration and use of existing resources Consider the need for a long-term nearshore organization Systems for public involvement in research and decisions Long-term research funding strategy Recommendations for legislation due no later than August 1, 2010 Task Force will be repealed January 2012
