MINOR
The bill was finalized as Enrolled SB 230, which establishes the Veterans Dental Program in Oregon. The main substantive change from the B-Engrossed version is the addition of Section 1a, which creates a contingency: if House Bill 2211 becomes law, the main section of this bill is repealed and replaced with an updated version that changes terminology from 'dental care organizations' to 'dental subcontractors' to align with HB 2211's language. All other substantive provisions regarding eligibility, benefits, and intake screening requirements remain identical between versions.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the Veterans Dental Program, but Section 1a adds a conditional provision that would alter the program's statutory language if another bill (HB 2211) is enacted, ensuring consistency across related legislation.
REQUIREMENT
Added Section 1a which creates a contingency provision that repeals and replaces the main section if House Bill 2211 becomes law, updating terminology from 'dental care organizations' to 'dental subcontractors' to align with HB 2211.
