SB 289, the so-called “bioptic bill” sponsored by Senator Jason A. Atkinson (R-Jacksonville), failed on the House floor Monday on a 30-16 vote.
Atkinson said the bill was crafted very narrowly, with the help of Oregon ophthalmologists, the Low Vision Clinic, and DMV, to address a very small number of Oregonians who have this level of vision acuity.
In defense of the bill, I would suggest the term “legally blind” is misleading and that we have taken every effort to make the bill narrow,” Atkinson said.

 Oregon Bill 293 Hotly Contested
However, the bill is being contested by organizations like Northwest Steelheaders and the Oregon Council of Federation of Fly Fishers who say the bill is flawed because it doesn't begin with the premise that rivers are navigable and therefore owned by the public.
Most importantly, the bill gives the State Land Board and the Division of State Lands administrative authority to determine if a waterway is navigable, and therefore owned by the public, without making a navigability study as done in the past in Oregon.
The bill is sponsored by Senator Ted Ferrioli (R) whose district (John Day) is named after one of the most contested rivers in the state.
