More on #OregonHouseBill HB 2316A from #OregonCapitalChronicle, "Oregon is one of four states that fails to cover all drugs that can cause impaired driving": https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2023/01/24/oregon-bill-would-expand-states-intoxicated-driving-law/

As of March 15th the bill is with Ways & Means, having been referred with a "Do pass with amendments" recommendation.

Lincoln City, OR: Tuesday, a 62 yr old man #crashed a Toyota #SUV up onto the #Hwy101 #sidewalk into a power pole & pizza restaurant. Police did not issue a citation, reporting, "it appears the driver had a medical emergency causing the crash."

Importantly, crashes like this may be reduced—or crash damages recovered—if #OregonHouseBill #HB2316 passes. The bill closes a drug loophole, expanding the definition of intoxicants to include any substance that impairs driving, for ex, muscle relaxers.
