Bill requiring Oregon public universities to provide updates on hiring of outside counsel heads to Senate floor OregonLive.com 2 days ago Maxine Bernstein, oregonlive.com
A state Senate committee on Wednesday approved an amended bill that would require public universities to report annually to the attorney general on their use of outside legal counsel.
The legislation would require universities to disclose the overall amount they pay for private attorneys and for what kind of legal matters and how many.
The amended House Bill 2214 removed a much stricter demand that would have limited university payments to outside lawyers – an idea that gained public attention in the wake of OHSU’s hiring former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for $2,295 an hour.
