You could almost hear the sighs in committee rooms across Oregon on March 21, as the work session posting deadline came and went—quietly, bureaucratically, fatally—dragging a whole pile of bills into legislative purgatory.
Great question! It means the chair has scheduled a public hearing, and they may decide to have the committee vote on the bill the same day. Typically, a work session is held a few days after a public hearing. However, it is possible to do both on the same day as along as adequate public notice is given.
It would be nice if you mentioned HB 3075 and HB 3076 so people know what is being pushed by the Democrats. Let us know how to get involved!!!
What is a posting that says "possible work session" ????
