The proposed Senate Bill 432 would require the Oregon Health Authority to develop a program that would “support consumer engagement efforts aimed at increasing and optimizing consumer involvement in planning and decision-making surrounding the access to, and the delivery of, behavioral health services in this state.”
The bill is sponsored by state senator and vice president of the Senate Health Care Committee Sen. Cedric Hayden. Sens. Michael Dembrow and Lew Frederick served as co-sponsors.
