It might help if someone posted what SB 1503 is proposing to do?

From the OR Legislative site:

Digest: The Act makes a task force to stop gun violence and suicide. The Act provides money for research on gun violence and suicide. (Flesch Readability Score: 77.4). Establishes the Task Force on Gun Violence and Suicide Prevention and requires the task force to report to the interim committees of the Legislative Assembly related to health care. Appropriates money for research on gun violence and suicide prevention ordered by the task force. Takes effect on the 91st day following adjournment sine die.

The "Task Force" would be established and run under the Oregon Health Authority. No agenda there. Nothing to see here, folks.
