SB 941 date it takes effect?

[etrain16]

I'm so confused...the act goes into effect immediately (Sec.23) yet Section 2 of the act, relating to transfer, goes into operation 90 days after signing (Sec. 20). So much for clearly written legislation.




SECTION 20.
Section 2 of this 2015 Act and the
amendments to ORS 166.432, 166.433,
166.434, 166.438 and 181.150 by sections 6 to 10 of this 2015 Act
become operative 90 days after
the effective date of this 2015 Act.
SECTION 21.
The Department of State
Police may take any action before the operative
date specified in
section 20 of this 2015 Act that is necessary for the department to imple-
ment section 2 of
this 2015 Act and the amendments to ORS 166.432, 166.433, 166.434, 166.438
and 181.150 by sections 6 to 10 of this 2015 Act.
SECTION
22.
The amendments to ORS 166.250, 166.291, 166.460, 166.470, 181.740 and 426.133
by sections 11 to 19 of
this 2015 Act apply to orders for assisted outpatient treatment entered
on or after the effective date of this 2015 Act.
SECTION 23.
This 2015 Act being necessary for the immediate preservation
of the public
peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared to exist, and
this 2015 Act takes effect
on its passage.

This came up during testimony as well on Monday. The original bill, as written, does state 90 days, which I believe is required for any 'standard' bill. But the addition of the emergency clause, tagged on later, does not alter the text of the bill, but does bypass the standard 90 day waiting period. Again, this is based solely on what I've been able to find online in the Oregon system, YMMV.

Here is a link to one piece of info: http://www.oregonlaws.org/glossary/definition/emergency_clause

supersedes means supersedes.

provisions of the emergency clause supersede standard procedures.

@signature.

emergency clause

• 
  A statement added to the end of a measure which causes the act to become effective before the accustomed date. An emergency clause either sets a specific date or is effective immediately, which means that the measure will take effect on the date of its signature into law.

and then:

SECTION 23.
This 2015 Act being necessary for the immediate preservation
of the public
peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared to exist, and
this 2015 Act takes effect
on its passage.

I left a message at the Gov's office for her scheduler and she called back and said as soon as the Gov. signs, it is law. She said it has not reached her office yet, and even if it somehow comes in today or tomorrow, odds are it will be signed Monday.
