Oregon Statutes - Chapter 401 - Emergency Services and Communications - Section 401.282 - Legislative findings.

The Legislative Assembly finds that:

(1) The implementation of a single, easy-to-use telephone number, 2-1-1, will benefit the residents of this state by providing easier access to available health and human services and services after an emergency, by reducing inefficiencies in connecting people with desired service providers and by reducing duplication of efforts.

(2) In a time of reduced resources for the provision of health and human services, establishing a cost-effective means to continue to inform the public about available services is a priority.

(3) An integrated statewide system of local information and referral service providers will build upon an already existing network of experienced service providers without the necessity of creating a new agency or department. [2005 c.526 §1]

Note: 401.282 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 401 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
