OFF ALERT 02.16.12 UPDATE
PROZANSKIS GAMES CONTINUE
We have been reliably informed that in spite of his vow to kill Kim Thatchers CHL privacy bill, Floyd Prozanski will be having a work session on the bill, where he plans to move the bill out of committee.
Sounds good right? Wrong. Floyds plan is to amend the bill to strip it of the protections that are in it and instead put the privacy language in the Oregon "Public Records" statutes.
But, those statutes are so complicated, arcane and riddled with exemptions that they provide virtually no protection. As you may know, the records of firearms purchases are protected from disclosure under these laws, yet the Oregon State Police have disclosed those records when no crime was committed. In fact, they have disclosed those records when there was not even an accusation of a crime.
HB 4045 must pass without these dangerous amendments. The only changes that should be considered are those that will speed up its implementation.
If you have contacted Peter Courtney, please do so again and tell him no way to Prozanskis stunts. We want HB 4045 with NO public records amendments.
