                        A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to the Department of State Police.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1.  { + (1) The Oregon Liquor Control Commission and
the Department of State Police may enter into an interagency
agreement to allow state police force members to act as agents of
the commission for the purpose of enforcing the Liquor Control
Act and rules of the commission. The interagency agreement may
authorize the state police force members to:
  (a) Conduct administrative searches on behalf of the commission
to the same extent that administrative searches may be conducted
by employees of the commission; and
  (b) Issue notices of civil violations of the Liquor Control Act
or commission rules discovered during an administrative search.
  (2) The interagency agreement may authorize a state police
force member to act as an agent of the commission only if the
member is present at a licensed premises for the purpose of
performing duties as a state police force member.
  (3) The existence of an interagency agreement does not limit a
state police force member in carrying out any law enforcement
function that may properly be performed by the state police force
member.
  (4) A state police force member who is acting as an agent of
the commission under the interagency agreement is considered to
be performing duties as a state police force member for purposes
of wages, workers' compensation insurance, disability insurance
and other work-related or private insurance, entitlements or
benefits.  This subsection does not prohibit an interagency
agreement provision for financial reimbursement from the
commission to the department. + }
