JJ, Tchnically under Article XI Section 15 it would be considered an unfunded mandate but it may not reach the threshold established in that section for legal action. It probably would not really cost the county much as we already provide fall protection on lifts and other areas, I can not think of where it would cost us much more than changing our safety rule book for employees from 10' to 6' about use of safety harnesses and fall protection. I would note that the costs of the two programs we will be talking about also include indirect costs of increases in contracts with many of the non-profits that provide many of our human services that have many part-time and minimum wage employees. Multiply that times 36 counties and 200+ incorporated cities in Oregon and it adds up to a pretty big unfunded mandate. (Just one of the reasons the Legislature skipped sending this to Ways and Means as it should have.) This is worth the time to at least discuss it.
