Oregon’s 35-day even-year legislative session opened in early February at a dizzying pace with flurries of significant policy bills receiving hearings in the first several days. From proposals to disconnect state law from the federal tax code to proposing the creation of felony sanctions for certain employer workplace violations, the session was full of ideas that ran directly afoul of a focus on “strengthening Oregon’s business climate.” AGC and its partners pushed back on these harmful proposals, successfully defeating many bills or mitigating their industry impacts.
