Edward, Yes. I am glad I met a pro-SI science teacher during
parent-teacher conferences several months ago. Mr Whatley is a great asset
in our effort. I also plan to bring along a print-out of a recent NBC News
article about Accidental Overdose: Parents are terrible at measuring kids'
meds. I imagine it might be difficult to come up with a persuasive argument
because many Americans are so stubbornly opposed to getting rid of familiar
measures, but perhaps this article might help too. I appreciate your kind
words and positive feedback.

Well. Some of you asked me to keep you updated on LC 44, which is
proposed Oregon legislation based on Hawaii HB 36. Science Teacher Greg
Whatley (very pro-SI) plans to join me when I meet with Representative
Denyc Boles
(Republican) District 19 (Salem Oregon) next week. See my earlier email
where I attached a pdf (Portable Document Format) of a Draft version of
LC 44. We will talk about the next steps in moving this legislation
forward. Read the back-and-forth messages below if you want more
detail. As always, I welcome any feedback you may have to offer.

Dear David,
Dexter Johnson is the lead counsel for the office of Legislative
Counsel who are tasked with taking legislative concepts and
writing them into legalese. I am forwarding his response to the
changes you had suggested. With his explanation, I feel
confident that the June 12th draft will be sufficient. I would
like to set up a time to talk about the next steps. Let me know
your schedule and I will have my assistant Maggie, set something
up.
Thanks,
Denyc Boles

Rep. Boles:
I reviewed the constituent's suggested changes to LC 44, but
actually think the 6-12-14 draft is correct as written.
Both the House and the Senate adopt by reference the Form and
Style Manual for Legislative Measures
(https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/lc/PDFs/form-stylemanual.pdf
) when they adopt House and Senate Rules. The Form and Style
Manual does not allow us to reference Proper Names by
parenthetical acronym, as your constituent requested. That is
why you will not find commonly used state agency acronyms (DAS,
DOJ, etc.) in the laws of this state.
Your constituent also requested removal of the reference to feet
and conversion in section 4 of the draft, amending ORS 209.250.
The draft already indicates, however, that the text referencing
conversion to feet is to be deleted. Bracketing and italicizing
of statutory text indicates that the bracketed and italicized
text is to be removed from the law, when the bill is enacted.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Dexter
